Homebrew Cursed Undead (Human V.) Species Details
The undead have no land to call their own and so wander aimlessly, looking for something, looking for a purpose. Usually awakening in a time period long after their death, the new customs in this time confusing them. The curse put on you has forced you into an endless lifetime, but has kept your soul in your undead body. This means you still have your consciousness, you have the same personality, the same values and you technically have the same body, you look exactly the same - although you are no longer alive. You no longer age and your body doesn't decay. If you were to die in this state your soul would be lost, you would no longer have control of your body and your body would wander aimlessly for the rest of time.
