Paranormals

Ghosts

There have always been ghosts. Most are tethered to their grave and the Netherworld; coming out only in the darkness, much like vampires. Some, however, have broken then bind and walk around and live like most other humans. Due to adverse reactions from some humans, such ghosts often seek out others like themselves or remain at home. This isn't true for all of them of course, some even take pleasure out of spooking out the humans as they walk through town. Eventually the Netherworld will catch up with them though and they will "die" (again). All humans respond differently to ghosts; some fear them, some hate them, some are curious about them.

Reapers

Along with ghosts, there is the Reaper. Once a figment of imagination or simply a story that was told, as more ghosts came out into the world, the Reaper(s) have as well. The Grim Reaper is not just one solitary person but an entire species. They are practically ageless. While their main obligation to society is the collecting of the departed, they are like humans in so much as they have wants and interests outside of work. Some Reapers have been interested in humans and together they have created human/reaper hybrids. These children may have the skin tone of their human parent or that of their Reaper parent or some combination in between. They tend to have much longer lifespans than the average human. Much like the ghosts, humans often fear the Reapers - thinking that he has come for them perhaps. As a result, a Reaper may chose to isolate themselves from humans or seek out other Reapers.

Mummies

In general, these creatures are only seen by adventurers, deep inside a tomb and even when they tell the tale later, most don't believe them. But mummies do exist. They are aggressive and solitary often. Those that actually do leave the tombs, find living amongst humans as undesirable as almost all humans fear them or what to annihilate them. If they do not return to their tomb, they either seek out their own kind, how few there are, or find someplace quiet and far from humans to meek out the rest of their existence. Little else is known about them at this time.

Zombies

Although there have been staggered sightings of so called Zombies, almost everyone assumes that are creatures of myth only. As such, little is known about them at this time.

There are isolated areas in the world where ghosts, Reapers and mummies have gone to live in some sort of peace and harmony. Only the most adventurous humans or supernaturals attempt to seek these colonies out.
