Wraith: The Arising: Difference between revisions

{{quote| -- ''The Book of Old Times'', first Stanza}}

 

 

Every Wraith is visually and mentally marked by the way they died. Each ''Death'' carries it own benefits and flaws.

* [[And I Must Scream]] -- The Freewraiths use this as a threat to those who serious piss them off.

* [[Angst Coma]] -- Some Wraiths come to think that this mockery of existence is pointless, and just stop interacting with the world. As their activity slows down and stops, their bodies begin to ''Ossify'', their Corpus turning as white and unyielding as marble, cobwebs and chains appearing around their bodies to physically bind them where they stand. If the process is not stopped, the Wraith eventually turns into a lifeless statue, and forever falls Asleep unless charitable Wraiths decide to wake her up.

* [[Badass Preacher]] -- One nickname for the Pardoners is "shotgun priests." Sometimes quite literally.

* [[Bazaar of the Bizarre]] -- Wraith society often runs these, referring to them simply as ''Markets.'' The Freewraiths have a virtual monopoly on these, as they jealousy guard the secrets of the Shaping Numen, which allows users to create nearly any objects imaginable out of Corpus (ghost flesh).

* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]] -- Wraiths will begin to slowly grow uglier and uglier if their Shadow becomes more and more powerful, and we mean ''ugly.'' The horrifying and grotesque appearances of the Damned reflect their black, tortured souls.

* [[Canon Dis Continuity]] -- As ''Arising'' was written when the new ''World of Darkness'' was still only a year or two old, it contradicts the information presented in ''Geist: The Sin-Eaters'' and ''Book of the Dead''. This is mandatory, as the standard setting precludes the existence of any kind of spiritual sequel to ''Oblivion''.

* [[Church Militant]] -- The Pardoners. They wage war on the Shadow.
