Vengeful Spirits are created when a person suffers an unjust death in the presence of a mirror. The mirror captures the soul, allowing the Vengeful Spirit to exist on the Prime Material Plane. From then on, the Vengeful Spirit cannot journey more than 300 yards from its mirror. The Vengeful Spirit seeks revenge on its killers by slaughtering those who killed it, making its descendants suffer, or otherwise exacting revenge in a messy and direct fashion. The only way the Vengeful Spirit can leave the vicinity of its mirror is to possess a body; however, the mirror can be picked up and moved, which might inadvertently make the Vengeful Spirit more mobile.

DESCRIPTION

|
Quote:

"Heeere's Johnny!"
|
|
Stalking Grounds:
|
Any place that's isolated, like snowswept cabins or abandoned plantations.
|
|
Physical Description:
|
Vengeful Spirits vary greatly in appearance, but all of them can manifest the wounds that killed them when they died. Other than that, they tend to be awfully transparent...and we're not talking about motives here.
|
|
Cravings:
|
Vengeful Spirits are pissed off and they're not going to take it anymore. They are incredibly single-minded in their quest for vengeance and will often sacrifice human beings to reach their goals, tossing them aside like broken puppets. Upon completion of the act of revenge, Vengeful Spirits sometimes disappear. Sometimes.

|
Behavior:
|
Some Vengeful Spirits have been at it so long that they no longer have any connection to humanity. Those are the worst kind. Victims possessed by one tend to be unfocused, confused, and have difficulty remembering details of what they did (or, while possessed, who they really are).
|
|
Danger:
|
Vengeful Spirits are difficult to contain or combat, because you can't exactly punch them in the face. The mirrors that form them are the key, but even that won't work all the time. Vengeful Spirits are not above possessing victim after victim to eliminate the fool who gets in their way.
|
|
Tactics:
|
If you can't beat them...make them feel better. Vengeful Spirits are often good, simple folk who were horribly wronged. Their thirst for revenge stems usually stems from a terrible injustice. Resolve that injustice (pay grandma back the 50 cents you stole from her when you were 12) and they might just let you off the hook.
