Homebrew Awakened Spirit Species Details
Those who have eluded death once are not often known to do it again, but the strongest of wills will always prevail. Spirits that should have been long faded away, long ago put to rest, have a way of coming back to torment the living world, using their hatred to fuel their ghostly form as they rise to find revenge on who killed them. Or they just wanted to see when Half-Life 3 would come out.
While some spirits come back for vengeance, most are trapped, unable to be put back to rest due to some kind of otherworldly deal or predicament forced upon them.
