Homebrew Ghost Seer Species Details

Ghost Seers have the unique and strange ability to see ghosts. This is a very rare ability, and so many try to hide it, for if the wrong people found out, they could be in serious danger. Some even hide their powers from their human parents, unsure of how they would react. Appearing quiet and reserved to most, they tend to prefer talking to ghosts. However, some Ghost Seers fear their own powers, and appear unnaturally excited to others, attempting to make friends and take their minds off of the ghosts that surround them. The power that Ghost Seers possess has changed history. Sometimes, they can end wars with the help of ghosts. Other times, they start the wars with the help of ghosts. 

Ghost Seers look almost exactly like humans except they may have oddly colored hair, eyes, or skin. They tend to dress in clothes that do not have bright colors or patterns, normally not wishing to draw attention to themselves.
