You were blessed, whether from birth or by an external entity, with the ability to see and communicate with ghosts. Your unique ability has made you privy to a world beyond the grave, which elicits both awe and fear from those who know of your gift. Though some powerful and at times malicious ghosts are strong enough to be seen by all mortals, you have the unique ability to see and speak with those spirits who don't have the strength to appear on the mortal realm to the normal eye. You may act as an intermediary between this world and the one beyond, helping benevolent spirits move on, or you may follow the path of an exorcist and banish those spirits who have turned to violence. However, years of working with ghosts has made it difficult for you to interact with mortals who have not yet died.

Suggested Characteristics

Personality traits

d6	Personality Trait
1	I find it easier to communicate with ghosts than mortals, and thus, I do my best to stay away from other people. (Neutral)
2	It pains me to see so many lost souls in this world, so I have dedicated myself to helping them find peace. (Good)
3	I hate ghosts- I never asked to be able to see them, and I want to cleanse the world of them. (Lawful)
4	I see my abilities as a fluke. If I'm already crazy, I might as well see how far I can push it. (Chaotic)
5	I can't help but feel a sense of anxiety about my own mortality seeing all the lost souls in the world. (Any)
6	I enjoy being able to see another world that others cannot. It must mean that I'm superior to others in some sense. (Evil)

d4	Ideal
1	No matter what you were like during life, all spirits deserve rest at the end of their lives.
2	My goal is to protect the living, even if it comes at the expense of the dead.
3	I believe that humans and spirits are both equally worthy of respect, and I strive to honor the dead in everything I do.
4	I am one of the only ones who is capable of maintaining the balance between this world and the next.

d4	Bond
1	I made a mistake and the wrong person died too soon because of it. I now strive to complete their unfinished business in life.
2	I know I never should've let it happen, but I fell for someone on the other side. I want to keep them with me until we can be together in death, or bring them back through magical means.
3	Any type of necromancy abhors me- the dead deserve true rest. I seek to eliminate any of these unnatural entities I come across.
4	The living can benefit greatly from the dead. I seek to improve this generation's lives using lost knowledge from the past.

d6	Flaw
1	I often come off as arrogant when presenting my knowledge off the arcane.
2	My connection to the spirit world has taken its toll on my social skills, and I often find it easier to avoid the living whenever I can.
3	My skepticism of the undead has hindered me from fully exploring my abilities.
4	I cannot tell the difference between the living and the dead by appearance alone, so I often come off as strange when meeting new people.
5	Try as I might to hide it, I'm actually afraid of ghosts and avoid them whenever I can.
6	Years of being ostracized for my abilities has made me bitter and callous towards the plights of others.

Contacts

Though ghosts cannot move too far from the scene of their death (or any significant item that ties them to the physical plane, including their bones, a special item, or a living person), they are often still helpful and willing to provide any information they have if asked politely.
