THE UNDEAD

The Undead, or the Living Dead, are creatures that have been brought back to life in a number of different, normally evil ways. Some are brought back through magick, or blood curses, or simply brought back through evil forces. Some are ghosts, or spirits of the dead that have managed to reinhabit their old corpses, or have even managed to take control of anothers corpse. They come in many forms but they are, all of them, dangerous. Even those that appear to be nice and friendly have faced death and faced hell directly...and they will fight tooth and nail, sacrificing anything and anyone in their way, to make sure they never have to go back there again.

Types of Undead include:

ZOMBIES
The shambling dead. There are different types of zombie, but they all tend to be rotting, slow corpses that are nearly mindless.

CONSTRUCTS
Cretures that have been put together out of other corpses or flesh. Built rather than born. Some have been given life energy, some have been given a soul. All of them are pathetic, tortured creatures that should be put out of their misery.

REVENANTS
A revenant is a power wraith or spirit that has taken control of a corpse. It doesn't even have to be their norpse, any corpse will do, and they will use it like a puppet, wearing it like a meat suit so they can interact with the world of the living.

INTRUDERS
Energies and powers that forcibly take over human bodies, sometimes living, sometimes dead. They ar inhuman energies, possibly demons or shadow creatures. Whatever they are, and whatever their intent, they are always evil and they will always ride the body to breaking point. If the vessel was not dead before the possession, they will be after it.

VAMPIRES
Ghoulish undead that feed upon the blood of the living. They live a cursed existence and fear the sun. Recent movies and media have painted them as sad, lonely, misunderstood and sexual creatures, but they are none of those things. They are damned corpses that suck the life out of others to exist.

THE HUNGRY DEAD
Much like vampires, they ar cursed creatures that have come back to life and must feed upon the living to carry on their miserable existence. More common in the east, there are hundreds of different types of the hungry dead, in ghostly and physical forms.
