Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

Ghosts, phantoms, geists, whatever one may call them, they all mean the same thing. lost souls with no way of moving on.

Often met with tragic ends or traumatizing experiences, these spirits cannot find rest in the afterlife, having ‘unfinished business’ that causes them to linger upon mortal soil. When newly formed, a ghost has no idea what happened to them and is vulnerable to emotional outbursts. They return to their daily tasks, unaware of their demise.

When a ghost, through whatever means, finds out about its demise, they can perform ‘Geistreach’ upon a living descendant, after which they are able to progress to the next stage of their undeath. Depending on how they took their deaths, they can transform into a peaceful spectre or a vengeful poltergeist.

Revenant: A revenant is a phantom that has just awoken after having passed. Being confused and vulnerable to emotional outbursts, these newly formed phantoms are not yet aware of their own demise.

Abilities: Revenants, unlike other phantoms, do not have a lot of abilities, for they have not yet mastered their ectoplasm quite like other ghosts. often flickering from visible to invisible. Revenants are not able to hold an object longer than 3 seconds. And often becoming frustrated because of it. Although they can float (one block and purely aesthetic) above the ground, After the newly formed phantom realized they had died, be it by hard evidence or any other manner, They are able to perform geistreach.

Spectre: Spectres are peaceful ghosts who learned of their deaths and made peace with them. But they could not accept the fate that they endured. So because of their peaceful nature, they rather don't fight. Most spectres are almost kind but can be mischievous.

Abilities: 

Spectres have full control over their invisibility, being able to turn visible and invisible at their own command. (3 emotes) But we cannot do that without the presence of our descendants.

Spectre's can also instill peace over living people and create what is called a sanctuary. The phantom can float, just like its other ghost counterparts. (Though this is purely aesthetic again, not more than 1 block above the ground.) Not only that, but spectres are also able to perform telekinesis by wrapping their ectoplasm around one singular object and lifting it.

It takes 1 OC day to regenerate wounds. Spectres are also able to possess people and objects, yet they cannot control the person they possess.

Weakness: Aurum, sunlight, holy magics

Poltergeist: Revengeful and often angry ghosts who did not accept their fate of undeath, wrapped in their own trauma, have a harder time moving on than a spectre. because of their vengeful nature. Though the poltergeist mostly has the same abilities as a spectre, unlike the spectre, they are often hostile creatures that don't mind causing chaos and discord.

Abilities: Poltergeists can float, like spectres, and turn invisible and visible whenever they wish. and shift their forms into any animal bigger than a crow and smaller than a stag. Unlike the spectre, the poltergeist instills unease. Poltergeists can also pose as people and objects, including corpses, though their movements are rigid and they cannot control the possessed person. While the spectre has a sanctuary, the poltergeist has a haunt, often in dark, gloomy, and musky areas.

Weakness: Aurum, sunlight, holy magics

Geistreach: When a revenant finds out about their demise, they are able to perform geistreach by finding a victim and sapping their emotions for spiritual essence. By making their victim see images and visions of the ghost's life and death. (Depending on if the player gave consent, it takes 3 or 5 times.) After geistreach the phantom can move forwards to their next stage of undeath. (The visions cannot be used for roleplay knowledge, or meta.) 

If this construct or creature has some form of aesthetic choice, can you describe how they look? 

Colours:

Poltergeists range from red hues, their cause of death very visible and often gruesome.

Spectres can be blue, white, or yellow, which is not unheard of. Often, their cause of death is not visible to the phantom. They have an ethereal look to them.

Revenants are gray-scale ghosts, kind of like spectres; they can look ethereal, but these ghosts are newly formed, so they have not yet acquired their given colour.

Ghosts are see through, even though they are; they cannot float through objects or doors.

Within the city of Haense, a certain spectre searched for a friend. Having heard the news, the ghost knew seeking would be pointless in the end. Wich left the phantom upset as they attempted to process the newly learned information.

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

What are ghosts? 

When a person dies, their soul enters the soulstream to go off to their afterlife. But sometimes, when a descendant dies in a tragic way or has unfinished business, their being can remain in the physical world as a ghost. Newly formed ghosts are confused and often do not know they are dead. Meanwhile, older phantoms have a wide range of abilities, depending on how they take their deaths. That determines their fate as undead.

Revenants

A phantom is a dead descendant who was not able to pass on by the soulstream and into their respective afterlives. Being stuck in the world of the living, a newly formed ghost would feel confused as they needed to get used to their form. Having a weaker mental state than their Spectre or Poltergeist counterparts, making them vulnerable for emotional outbursts, while being a lot more sensitive towards Aurum and magic. And not knowing what has happened to them often makes them return to their tasks. Resembling ones that they did when they were alive. But the newly formed ghost would notice that the world had changed around them. Not being able to hold onto physical items anymore, like weaponry or armor, and not being able to open doors confuses the ghost because they do not know they are in fact dead. A revenant also does not possess the same abilities that a more experienced and older phantom would have. They have difficulty controlling their ectoplasm, which often shifts from visible to invisible outside of their control. And cannot do much more than turn invisible in the first place. Yet they are still phantoms, so they are incorporeal. So they have no need for food or sleep, and they have no true biology. Being able to float a few feet above the ground, the Revenant can also pass through people and objects. When a phantom or revenant does find out about their demise. They are able to shift into their next form. A spectre, or a poltergeist. Depending on how the Revenant takes their death, this can be done via geistreach, sapping the emotions of descendants and cursing them. After a successful geistreach, the phantom can move on to the next stage of their undeath. If the Geistreach is unsuccessful, the phantom has to find another victim and do the process all over again.

Spectres

When a new ghost accepts the cause of their death, they can turn into a spectre after a successful geistreach.

Carrying around an aura of peace, these phantoms often manifest as a version of themselves when they were alive, with close to no signs of how they perished. Unlike the gray Revenants, Spectre’s hue in shades of blue, white, and yellow is not unheard of. Being able to control their ectoplasm better than revenants, they have access to a lot more abilities, plus they are emotionally more stable than newly formed ghosts.

But while they are still prone to mental affliction, they are not as confused as the Revenant anymore. They are aware of their deaths.

Now they can control themselves completely when they wish to turn invisible, possess other descendants, or create a sanctuary.

While still being sensitive towards Aurum and being able to demanifest them. It takes a spectre and a poltergeist 1 ooc day to regenerate non-fatal wounds. Revenant 2. 

With not only the ability to create a sanctuary, possess a descendant, or become invisible. A spectre can also shift their form into any animal the ghost wishes.

as long as the animal is relatively docile.

Other weaknesses of specters and ghosts in general. Is sunlight causing the phantom discomfort when exposed to it for long periods of time. 

Not only that, when a phantom is invisible and in direct sunlight, they may have a slight outline around their incorporeal bodies that can be spotted, if focus is put on it.

Poltergeists
On the other end, there is the poltergeist. Ghosts who did not accept fate after their demise still carry a lot of emotional turmoil.

Death is a traumatic thing, and not everyone accepts what happened to them. This is very clearly seen in the poltergeist.

Mentally afflicted and tormented by their own trauma, these ghosts are often more prone to violence.

Unlike the spectres, who look rather neutral in their features, the poltergeists have a rather gruesome appearance, very clearly showing how they came to their end. As almost nothing is left of their original being, they are often seen as evil. But not every poltergeist is like that.

On abilities, they only slightly differ from the specters, taking just as long to heal from an injury as them. But are more likely to resort to violence than peace. They are able to be harmed by Aurum and feel uncomfortable in sunlight.

Just like a spectre, a poltergeist can turn invisible whenever they wish. And shift their form into an animal of their choosing. Just as they can possess a descendant.

But there are also differences. Instead of a sanctuary, a poltergeist can put up a haunt, but it must be created in a dark place.

As a specter creates a sense of peace, a poltergeist does the opposite by carrying around an aura of dread and worry.
 

Ectoplasm

It's what all ghosts are made of, a rather odd substance. And what gives them form. Ectoplasm can be manipulated in many ways, by sheer willpower the phantom can perform many feats. Though it does depend on how long the ghost has been dead for.  

The way ectoplasm takes shape can also vary, from gas, to liquid goo. 

Though, younger ghosts would have difficulty interacting with the physical world, because of the nature of Ectoplasm.

If this construct or creature has some form of aesthetic choice, can you describe how they look? 

The elf, now Revenant, wore their usual attire. If one were to place their gaze upon the phantom, they could still slightly distinguish the elf’s features. Consisting out of gloves, a once red vest, a white undershirt. And long boots to complete the assembly of clothes. It all had turned a gray hue, it wasn’t quite visible on how the ghost met their end, exept for a small scar at the neck area.

A broken mess of an elf who is very giving, and wants to make everyone happy. And is slowly healing, yet still learning dark arts.
