Revision as of 20:07, 2 August 2017

Ghosts are the souls or essences of mortals or supernatural creatures that has died and manifested in order to resolve unfinished business.

History

Ghosts, or spirits, have existed in history for as long as beings themselves have. No one knows the exact origins of ghosts, but any being that has ever lived, even though not born, can become a ghost. Generally, when mortals or supernatural creatures die and do not accept their deaths because of unfinished business, they become ghosts until that which manifests them is resolved.

Physical and Psychological Traits

Since ghosts are non-corporeal, they usually cannot physically interact with the environment, only being able to communicate with the living, either through dreams or through possession. Now, ghosts that do in fact have a strong enough identity may interact with their environment in a variety of ways. Continually, ghosts that appear to the living retain the same physical consequences, or injuries, they sustained upon their deaths. The personalities of ghosts are parallel to that of when they were alive, and as such, can cycle through different stages of sadness, anger, pain, distress, etc., depending on the manner in which they manifest.
