Homebrew Horrorscope Species Details

The Horrorscope is a being that is neither living nor dead. They are the beings that are too good for any fitful afterlife but too bad for any restful afterlife, those in charge of the afterlives are normally good at making a decision on who goes where so Horrorscopes are rare. Horrorscopes have been known to haunt their loved ones trying to get that person to say their name so that they can once again be visualized. Those of this race must seek out to commit a deed, whether good or bad to earn their soul's place in the correct afterlife. They take on whatever shape they wish to be perceived as. However, being ghosts they cannot interact directly with the world around them. Instead, they only keep the things on their person at their time of death, they are also typically black, white, blue or green tinted. Due to this they have a preference for humanoid figures.

Currently there is a residing High council of Horrorscopes that have been established to govern the Horrorscopes of the universe until they eventually complete their task and move on to their final resting place. The council consists of 5 members, each with their own set realms to watch over. If you've been through middle school or high school (Which should be everyone reading this) they're kind of like your dean of students.

Horrorscope are not perceived by those completely living and or completely dead in the beginning. To get the recipient to be able to sense them, the recipient has to acknowledge their name. This acknowledgement can either be saying their name aloud or thinking it in their mind. Spooky.

P.S. This race is not in any way completed, I'm still crafting them carefully so bare with me.
