Homebrew Cursed Rebound Species Details

Born from those who end their tale on curseth soil. An ailfull soul with deeds undone may have the chance to come again. With sand and soil to fill their wounds, the world around shapes to rebuild their body (though not always looking like it was before) These spirits now get to walk again, powered by the flame of what made them move. These creatures carefully walk the line of life and death, neither dead nor fully alive.

Human Base

As a derivative of what used to be human you will for the most part keep your old stature. All tough depending on the wound which made your bane the recreation of said part may differentiate from what it was. For example a chopped off arm might come back as a tentacle-like creation of vines and roots. Your size is medium.

Old Memories

It is not certain that you will wake up the same person as you were before but most Cursed Rebound retain more or less of the memories and characteristics from their old life. Cursed Rebound tend to have a goal or reason as to why they couldn't die yet but unlike ghosts they are neither bound by or reliant on it. After finishing their mission they may decide they are done here and die or go on making a new life for themselves. They got a second chance and can do whatever they want with it, only bound by their own goals and ideals.

Spark of Will

A spark of will, an iginsion to cause and ascension. Their will to live manifests itself in a physical form for these half-alive creatures to take grate care of, for if it goes out so do they. This spark is the manifestation of what kept them on this planet and can take the shape of a small flame, a light or a spark of electricity. If said spark goes out this will cause their bodies to collapse and unless reignited within a few minutes it will leave them dead. For real this time. Thus Cursed Rebound often take measures to protect these flames by for example covering it with glass or magic. The flame is attached to your body.

Half Dead Body

You are not dead but you are not quite alive, you no longer need to eat, sleep or breathe but doing so will erode your already dying body, leading you to a closer doom. You are no longer reliant on your body to survive but you still need it to interact with the world. You only have one body, take care of it.
