- THE GHOST -
Overview
While Apparitions are often random and purposeless, a ghost is an entity with a purpose. They are driven by a conscious desire which can manifest itself in many ways, and can often be confused with other kinds of paranormal activity. When driven by vengeance and anger, it is much like a Shade. When only wanting to protect the place where it has been bound, most of the time it may appear more like an Apparition. Much of its living personality may be made evident by the manner in which it acts in the afterlife, given that this kind of spirit is, in essence, one degree of separation away from alive.
Ghosts have anima and mens, and can therefore be communicated with. They are guttural and hold little memory, somewhat basic.
Abilities
Ghosts manifest an immaterial but visual and auditory form that they are not necessarily bound to. They can just as well be invisible as they can be otherwise. Ghosts are also capable of manipulating the environment in which they have been bound to - if they are attached to a doll, they can manipulate the doll as much as they are powerful. By the same virtue, if they are bound to a house or a castle, they can manipulate any objects within those boundaries. What clearly distinguishes its powers from a Shade, however, is that it can not directly harm the living body of an individual.
Location
Ghosts can be bound to a place for innumerable reasons, and this place can be anywhere providing it is at least in the vicinity of something it remembers. What ties them all together is an indomitable will to remain. These spirits are neither good, nor evil, but they are all driven by the pure stubborn resolve of their former lives to not pass on, to not see the other side of the veil, that they are going to stay here until their very soul withers and dies.
Typically, they will last until their motivation to remain is resolved - if they are so driven in order to protect their family, move their family out of its house. If they feel that way because they wish to convey their love and regrets to their family, do it on their behalf.
Ghosts have anima and mens, and can therefore be communicated with, but aren't physical. They are guttural and hold little memory, somewhat basic.
