Wraith

^{Home > Rulebook > Races > Wraith}
Ghosts, Poltergeists, Wraiths, Creatures of the spirit realm, while undead, serve a different purpose then most others. An incorporeal being that has come back from the dead due to unfinished business, they are typically not able to rest in the afterlife, usually coming back tens or thousands of years after death to try and settle the score at an appropriate time.

Characteristics

Wraith appear as they did in their lives typically, however, with a more ghostly sheen, some are normally more transparent then others, while others have small, white wisps surrounding them and being completely solid in their appearance. Wraiths can change their physical appearance to match whatever feels most natural to them, however, most mainly choose to retain their physical form in life.

Wraiths are very intellectual, usually callous, brooding and introspective on ones self and their past life, dealing with the trauma of coming back to life as well as the strange experience of being only ones soul. They tend to lash out towards others in regards to their past life, and explode with anger at any instance that reminds them of this.

Native Environments

Usually found in graveyards, abandoned buildings and similar locations, they are typically either summoned through desecration or through deep anger and regret occurring whilst dying. Becoming a Wraith is a painful process, but it is seldom known whether it is more painful then dying itself.

History

Wraiths have no history inherently of themselves, but have existed for as long souls have. Wraiths follow their past lives most and uphold it to their highest standards, believing their way of living is the best way of living, due to being incapable of learning further or accepting the changes of their reality.

Society & Culture

Wraiths do not have a society or culture amongst themselves, being the byproduct of a peculiar death, with regrets, anger and sorrow. They typically focus on their past cultures and lives, but some adapt to new traditions created by being Wraiths, these ones are seldom known about, and differentiate from each Wraith, but is usually a sign of being able to accept their new condition.
