Becoming a ghost (亡霊) is what happens to living creatures when they die. Being dead, one might think that they no longer have any need for food, sleep, physical pain, or other iconveniences of the living condition. Whether any of that is true is currently unknown. What we know is that they like to party, eat, behave cryptically, continue doing the same activities they enjoyed in life, and generally have a good time.

Within the safely guarded boundaries of the Netherworld, ghosts live out the days of their afterlives pursuing whatever happens to come to mind. There are some vague hints about a chain of command that even the dead must follow, but it doesn't seem like specific details have been worked out. Ghosts are easily distractable.

There ought to be a downside for being dead, but if there is one, it sure isn't obvious.


Examples: Yuyuko Saigyouji, Youmu Konpaku, Lunasa Prismriver, Merlin Prismriver, Lyrica Prismriver

[The Prismriver sisters are specifically Poltergeists, which are a type of ghost.]
