A ghost is a soul that has died but not yet rejoined the reincarnation cycle because it is stuck on the physical plane. Most ghosts remain because they have lingering attachments or missions that they don't wish to leave.[1][2]
Physical Description
A ghost takes on the appearance of their most recent reincarnation. They are typically invisible outside of the Mindscape, and therefore cannot be seen by most living things. Their appearance quickly degrades as they age, and older ghosts generally lose their human appearance.
Ghosts begin to float as they lose parts of their former personality, until all that is left is an obsession.[2]
Characteristics
A ghost physically consists of the soul, and the personality, memories and appearance of their most recent reincarnation. This reincarnation has not yet been 'saved' to the soul itself, and is vulnerable to being eroded away and lost forever when they are outside a body.
The longer a ghost stays out of the cycle, the more they lose their personality and become obsessed with what kept them there.
