N A M E Simply referred to by most as "The Stranger", the Geist has no true name. If he did, the millennia that he's existed for has clearly made him forget what it once was. If pressed for a name, it's not uncommon for him to give the name "Eddie". It is unclear as to whether this is what The Stranger was once actually named in life or if it's just something he picked out of thin air. |
S P E C I E S The Stranger is a Geist. Akin to ghosts, they are extremely powerful, sometimes archetypal, representations of death. Craving to influence the living world, they make pacts, or bindings, with humans near death to share their flesh with them in exchange for returning the human to life. Such humans are called the Bound. /////////////////////// //////////////////////// ///////////// |

A R C H E T Y P E The Stranger feeds on a person's inner demons - guilt and shame are among the emotions that he both draws power from and sustains himself on. This is similar to a sin-eater, but instead of his victims finding themselves free of such emotions after a feeding, the feelings only amplify exponentially. To most, this merely presents itself in intense bouts of self-hatred and sadness, and if allowed to continue for long enough, it's not uncommon for the victim to be driven to suicide.//////////////////// //////////////////// ////////////////////// |
R E L A T I O N S Unsurprisingly, The Stranger has a rather difficult time forming interpersonal relationships. Would you honestly befriend someone that, unintentional or not, made you remember things you try desperately to forget? Despite his struggle to acquire friends, it doesn't tend to hamper him from craving companionship and conversation. Often he'll find himself befriending other ghosts and wandering spirits, or those that are immune to his tendency to amplify negative emotions. Because of this, he can get a little possessive of those he bonds with. |

I N T E R E S T S Being a curious being by nature, he is intrigued by the world around him and has gathered a fair amount of knowledge over the years, but has no real affinity for a particular subject. Despite feeding quite often, he doesn't actually enjoy making others miserable - however just because he's not fond of it doesn't mean he plans to stop anytime soon. It's simply part of his nature. |
H A U N T I N G S Due to his need to feed on guilt and shame, it's not uncommon for The Stranger to be spotted at local support groups. He can also be found wandering the streets among the homeless, and occasionally posted by the roadsides staring at those that can actually see him. Occasionally he can be found playing cards in his local graveyard with a particular necromancer. |
