Homebrew Ghost Species Details

"Why are you doing this... Tsukasa!!"
"Hmm... Because I like it!  The look on people faces when they decide to stop holding back.  Yours was really good too Amane,"  Tsukasa smarmed.  "Back when you killed me."
Hanako's face went deathly pale, even for an apparition.  He shuddered and dropped his guard, the knife slipping.  That was all Tsukasa needed.  He held Hanako's arms in place, his brother could not hurt him.
"I love you Amane.  Let's play together like we used to okay?"  He then shoved Hanako backwards and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. 

As in Life, in Death

Ghosts just look like they did in life, albeit a bit pale.  Depending on the location of their death, they may have a seal or other culture based appearances.

Wary Wanderers

Most spirits keep the personality they had in life.  However, they are more withdrawn, having lost trust in the living.  If treated poorly, they will often lash out and destroy things.
