Race Name: Ghosts
Starting Planet: Afterlife
Starting Power: 100 - 1,500 [Type C]
Appearance:
Background:
After receiving judgement from King Yemma, most souls are sent to either heaven or hell. While a small amount of exceptional people regain their bodies after a time in the afterlife, most remain as formless wisps. On rare occasion, these souls manage to escape the afterlife without a body. The process of leaving the mortal world twists the wisp into a ghostly spirit, often fragmenting their memories during the process. The ghost is then stuck in a perpetual cycle of phasing between the worlds of the living and the dead. The more powerful a ghost becomes, the more liberty they have with their form. Some regain their memories and even learn to manipulate their forms into humanoid apparitions of their past selves, while others forever succumb to madness.
The goals of ghosts vary. Some live innocuous afterlives and take an interest in mortal affairs, and have been known to open up shops where they collect trinkets of the living world to smuggle back to the afterlife. Others grow frustrated and envious of mortals, seeking to destroy that which they covet. In any case, a ghost finds an enemy in ogres, who often hunt them to preserve cosmic order.
Name Pun Theme(s): Based upon starting race.
Unique Characteristics:
Becoming a Ghost: A dead character may become a ghost by paying the cost of resurrection without a body. Once this is paid they enter the mortal world until they are slain in combat. Ghosts do not gain shoki but may train for power level in the afterlife as if they had a body. Ghosts do not receive afterlife or death enabled bonuses in any case. Like androids, ghosts cannot be selected for hybrid or bio android races. Ghosts are made up of ectoplasm and can be wounded or absorbed as normal. Ghosts always go to hell without judgement.
Manifest: During a celestial event, a ghost can manifest into the mortal realm and can remain until they are slain. Ghosts must manifest on a planet they have been to before or the planet that they died on. (Usable once per celestial event if the ghost started the event in the afterlife.)
Ogre Aversion: Ghosts are trouble makers in the afterlife, constantly escaping to cause problems in the mortal world. As caretakers, ogres are adept at detecting a ghost's signature. Ghosts can not hide their base power level from ogres with ki sense even when they suppress it from other races.
Kamikaze: A ghost’s signature attack. When a ghost focuses all its inner ki and turns itself into a makeshift bomb. This however does return the ghost to the afterlife in its goal to destroy its target. (Mechanically the ghost would get a attack of 150% PL attack sent at their foe at the cost of their own life. This is a DE only skill that requires 3kp and can not be charged.)
