Species Info - Ghost

I'm going to start making these in order to futher the lore of my galaxy.  Each page will be edited as I add more info, so some articles may be short when first submitted.

Featuring some ghosts!  Whira and Noxor.
It's interesting to note that I'm now drawing Noxor with legs!  Since he's a ghost he has to have legs instead of a wispy tail, which is reserved for phantoms and poltergeists.  Had to make that distinction.

✦If you have any questions just ask!  It may help me come up with more ideas.



                  Ghost 
✦Origin: The death of the living

✦Blood Type: None

✦Ghosts are phsyical spirits of the deceased.  They are generally pale, and with white in their pupils. 

✦Ghosts are born when a living thing has passed away with a strong attachment to the living realm.  They first emerge with amnesia, but there's always certain motifs that seem to stick with them.  They must recover their memories and finish what they were supposed to do before they can move on.

✦They seem to retain their form from when they died.  If they died in a gruesome way, sometimes they keep the injury, though it doesn't hurt.  

✦Ghosts can technically feel pain, but only by means of spiritual reppellent, such as enchanted amulets, water, wood, etc.  Since many ghosts try to possess living beings, these reppellents are common.

✦Ghosts cannot be destroyed, as they are essentially just physical manifestations of spirits.  It is very hard to get rid of a ghost if it is haunting you.

✦Ghosts can technically eat and sleep, but they don't have to.

✦They can range from fully visible to transparent

✦If they fail to achieve peace in the living realm after too long they will instead become phantoms, forgetting their purpose and becoming one with nature.



            Abilities

✦Floating - All ghosts can float, they have a habit of walking over holes and gaps and not noticing, since they won't sink on their own.

✦Possession - They have the ability to possess others, but if they remain in a host too long, their minds will fuse into one being.  Fusion is thought to be one way of achieving true peace, and so many ghosts give up on going to the underworld and instead search for the perfect host to fuse with.

✦Haunting - Vengeful ghosts will haunt the one who hurt them most.  They have the ability to strike fear and anxiety into these people.
