</includeonly><noinclude>__TOC__</noinclude>
Wraiths are restless dead, finding themselves in a state of existence somewhere between life and afterlife. They attempt to defy a force called Oblivion, which threatens to unmake all things. All have at least two sides - their Psyche, the part of them that is based on their human origins, and their Shadow, a dark version that pushes them to serve Oblivion.

Advantages to playing a Wraith:
* Access to Energy storage through Tills
* Energy gaining through Haunts and Living Emotions
* Costume flexibility
* Power versatility
* Free powers in Innate trees
* Fetish Item access
* Shadow roleplay
* No special weaknesses
* Immunity to Diseases
* Passions
* Expected Gameplay: Mystery
* Native Realm: Umbra
Disadvantages to playing a Wraith:
* Limited access to Realm
* No mortal healing mechanics
* Shadow can take over through Catharsis
* Mistrust of other Wraiths in general
* Fetters control powers
* Being turned into furniture

==='''''Building a Wraith'''''===
* Start by following the Universal Character Creation section in the Universal Character Information chapter and then…
* Select a Legion - this should play into your backstory and is based on how you died.
* Select a Guild if you wish to.
* Choose a Shadow Archetype.
* Wraith Energy is called Pathos
* You receive no Background points.
* Choose 2 Passions (used for replenishing Pathos).
* Choose 2 Fetters (to keep you tied to the world).
* Choose any 3 Arcanoi trees as innates. The singular of Arcanoi is Arcanos.
* Spend 12 points on Arcanoi.
* Fill in 3 dots for Shadow.
* Take as many Dark Arcanoi (for your shadow to abuse you with) as you have dots in Shadow.
* Spend 20 points (freebies) anywhere you like on your sheet.

When purchasing powers as a Wraith, you must purchase them in order. In order to purchase a level 2 power, you must have purchased the level 1 of the same tree. To purchase a level 3 power, you must purchase the level 2 power from the same tree, etc.

==='''''Built-In Powers'''''===
Wraiths come with built-in powers.
* {{PowerTip|Breach}}: {{PowerTip|Amplify Emotion}}, Your Passions, 1 Pathos, Other, 10 minutes, 1x/1m, Realm Target Only
* {{PowerTip|Energy to Health}}, 1 Pathos, Self, 1x/60 seconds 
* {{PowerTip|Gauntlet Sight}}, No Cost, Self, Always On when in Psyche.
* {{PowerTip|Immunity}}: (Alcohol + Disease + Drugs + Poison + Medicine + Potions), No Cost, Self, Always On, only while in the Umbra
* {{PowerTip|Passion Regeneration}}, Your Passions, No Cost, Self, Always On
* {{PowerTip|Portalwalk}}, No Cost, Self
* {{PowerTip|Breach}}: {{PowerTip|Sense Emotion}}, Your passions, No Cost, Other, Realm Target Only
* While in the Dying state you may spend 1 Pathos to regain 1 Health. When you do, return to a Fetter that is not on your body, gain 1 Angst, and enter a Harrowing (as described above). After 10 minutes in the dying state you die.

'''''Wraith Pools'''''

: '''Pathos''' - This is the Wraith Energy pool - use this to power your Arcanoi.
: '''Shadow''' - Shadow defines how powerful your Shadow currently is (read on for more). If your Shadow ever reaches a value of 10 then you lose yourself and become the shadow entirely. A being like this is called a Specter. Reading along you’ll see that there are multiple ways your Shadow may increase. Only while in Catharsis, Angst can be used to power Dark Arcanoi or can be used as if it were Pathos to power your Arcanoi.
: '''Angst''' - Angst is a counter-pool - it defines how much power your Shadow has at this very moment. This pool has a maximum value of 10. On the first night of game you come into play with your Angst at the same value as your current Shadow. If it reaches 10, and you would gain any amount of Angst, enter Catharsis. See the section on Catharsis in this chapter for more information. Angst can be decreased by certain powers.

'''''Ritual and Fetish Access'''''
All wraiths have innate Wraith Ritual access and access to Pathos-fueled Fetishes. There are no prerequisites.

'''''Regenerating Energy'''''
; Nodes: Haunts
: Haunts are “Places of Power” for Wraiths. Find the Haunt that matches your Passions and you regenerate energy quickly. The regeneration rate is defined on the 3x5 card attached to a Haunt. Find a Haunt that doesn’t match your Passions and you’ll still regenerate, but more slowly and the emotion of that Haunt will seep into your character.
; Emotional Regeneration
: All Wraiths come with a set of free powers: Sense Emotion, Amplify Emotion, Passion Regeneration. Using them you can find a target feeling your passions, amplify those passions on that person, and then for every minute in proximity to that target you will gain 1 Pathos.

'''''Eating'''''

While Wraiths may not have to eat, Wraith players do. Because of this, you may pick up items like plates of food, glasses of drink, etc. if you intend to ingest it yourself, for no cost.

'''''Costume Flexibility'''''

As a Wraith, you can be as old or as young as you like. Any costuming and concepts from the last couple millennia are valid.

'''''No Mortal Healing'''''

Since you’re already dead, healing potions and medicine don’t have an effect on you. Similarly, diseases don’t have an effect on you.

'''''Oboli'''''

Wraiths have a double-edged sword in the Obolus. These items are normally little white discs... made of Wraiths. The good news is that these items can easily be turned into Fetish or Relic Items. To do so, use a Fetish or Relic creation ritual and a single Obolus to create the item. Head to ST camp to discuss creating the new item. A character who is forged into an Obolus is destroyed forever.

'''''Shadows'''''

Your Shadow. The dark part of your soul, always telling you to join Oblivion, or to act against your passions, to fall away from what you were as a human. These Shadows can be brought out in various ways, and when they do it’s always bad for you. Shadows lose access to the built-in Gauntlet Sight power.

'''''Specters'''''

When you become a Specter your Shadow is in full control of your body - it desires nothing more than to drive everyone to Oblivion (the nothingness that waits to envelop all things). If you become a Specter, swap your Angst and Pathos pools (your Pathos now has a maximum value of 10 and your Angst no longer has a maximum), and trade your passions out for new ones - ones that seem near-opposite of the originals. Change your Shadow value out for an Eidolon value - this value starts at 0. Eidolon works quite a bit like Shadow in that when it takes over it changes your personality - back to your Wraith personality. The same things are required in order to bring the Eidolon to the surface, and the Eidolon value can theoretically end up eventually reaching 10, returning you to your Wraith persona permanently. Unfortunately, you’ll probably be dead before this ever happens as everyone and their mother will be out to turn you into currency.

'''''Shadow archetypes'''''

These define the general behavior of your Shadow when it is in power. It is recommended that these be fairly counter to your character’s own personality. This list is not complete, and you may create your own Shadow Archetype, but know that your shadow MUST be that thing in your character’s mind that slowly tells your character why they should join Oblivion.
: Abuser, Anarchist, Deserter, Director, Freak, Id, Leech, Maggot, Martyr, Merchant, Monster,Surgeon, Opium-Eater, Parent, Perfectionist, Pusher, Rationalist, Revolutionary, Scapegoat

'''''Fetters'''''

Something has to tie you to the realm of the living. As such, you’ll need your Fetters. These are Realm items (non-magical) that your character has a special emotional attachment to. You start with two of these, but may either purchase more or fewer using merits/flaws below. These items allow access to your level 4 and 5 powers. Without them (if your Fetters are destroyed) you lose access to these powers entirely. If you have no Fetters you will only be able to remain tied to the Realm for 1 game session, after this, turn your character sheet in at ST camp. If you are reduced to 0 health with no Fetters and would normally return to a Fetter, wait until you have hit the 10 minute mark, then head to ST camp instead and turn in your character sheet. If you only have one Fetter, the Fetter is at game but you do not know where it is and it is not destroyed, you may not return to game with your Wraith character until you know where the Fetter is located. If your Fetter items did not come to game with you for some reason, ask ST camp if you can borrow some Fetters that are similar in representation to your normal Fetter items. You may not play a Wraith character without your Fetters in game.

'''''Losing Fetters'''''

If your Fetter is destroyed or severed, you enter a Harrowing.

'''''Passions'''''

These are the emotions that your Wraith feeds off of. These passions should relate directly to your character’s core personality. Your Wraith has 2 Passions. Find the matching Haunts to regenerate effectively, or use the Passion power trio earlier in this chapter to regenerate even more quickly.
Anger, Depression, Duty, Fear, Greed, Happiness, Hate, Jealousy, Love, Obsession

'''''Harrowings'''''

Wraith players receive 2 sealed envelopes at check-in for use during gameplay. When you enter a Harrowing, open one envelope while heading to a nearby fetter. The card within should tell you all information regarding the effect of your Harrowing. If you run out of envelopes, go to ST camp to get a new envelope. Harrowings are incurred by self-healing from the dying state, having a Fetter destroyed, or by the events described below under “Death as a Wraith”. Cards should contain the scene that you experience while in your Harrowing, a description of what impact that has on your character directly, and a goal to achieve to get out of your Harrowing’s effect. You may be under multiple Harrowings at the same time, and Harrowings do not end between games. At any time you may increase your permanent Shadow rating in order to exit a Harrowing.

'''''Death as a Wraith'''''

Wraiths are already dead so they get a “get out of death free” card. If you enter the Dead state your character becomes unplayable for the remainder of the game weekend. Return the following game in a Harrowing, with 1 lower maximum health for the remainder of that game. If you have no Fetters when you would return to a Fetter, your character falls to Oblivion and ceases to exist.

'''''Catharsis'''''

Entering your Shadow is called Catharsis. When you enter your Shadow, you lose access to your Pathos pool, but can expend Angst as if it were Pathos. Upon reaching 0 Angst, leave Catharsis. When you exit Catharsis ends for any reason, return your Angst to the amount it was before you entered Catharsis, plus 1. If this amount is greater than 10, return to your Psyche with no Angst and increase your Shadow by 1. If this amount is less than or equal to 10, return to your Psyche at this new Angst amount. You may choose to report to ST camp and lower your Angst level when you would end your Catharsis instead. Doing so has consequences! You may also choose to enter Catharsis at any time. Choosing to do so immediately increases your Angst to 10 before entering Catharsis. Doing so means that you will exit your Catharsis gaining 1 Shadow with no Angst.

'''''Arcanoi''''' - Arcanoi are Wraith powers. Please note, certain Arcanos are technically banned in Wraith culture. These will have a note next to them. Talk with Character Guides about these trees.

'''''Choose any 3 Trees'''''

Wraith Power Trees are a bit more open than other types of supernaturals. Choose any 3 trees for your character.

'''''Ingrained Powers'''''

Your Innate Trees come with special Ingrained Powers. Order your trees primary, secondary, and tertiary (this is your choice, but remember that if you choose a Guild it is based on your Primary tree). You receive the power for your primary tree after purchasing 1 power between all trees, You receive the power in your second tree after purchasing 6 powers between all trees, and the power in your third tree after purchasing 12 powers between all trees. You’ll see these powers listed with their trees.

'''''Learning New Arcanoi'''''

To learn new powers in the Arcanoi, you must have a teacher for each level, and you may only learn powers in tree-order.

==='''''Wraith Guilds and Legions'''''===
Wraith Legions are a primary social grouping in the Wraith world. Upon being reaped, you are assigned to your Legion based on the important question: “How did you die?”. Deathmarks should generally be costumed. If you were suffocated, blue lipstick might be fine. If you were stabbed, red ‘wound’ makeup where you were stabbed. If you died of sickness, work to place bags under your eyes, or however you would like to portray it.
: Skeletal Legion - Victims of Pestilence/Sickness (those who died of diseases)
: Iron Legion - Victims of Old Age (natural death)
: Grim Legion - Victims of Violence
: Emerald Legion - Victims of Happenstance (accidental deaths)
: Legion of Penitents - Victims of Madness (either killed by their own or another’s madness)
: Silent Legion - Victims of Despair (often suicides, but can be the murder part of a murder/suicide)
: Legion of Paupers - Victims of Mystery (unknown cause of death or castoff from other legions)
: Legion of Fate - This legion is not available for Player Characters, but deserved mention in the rulebook. This legion contains ‘Victims of fate’ - those whose deaths are mysteries - those who fate simply chose.

Wraith Guilds are based around power specialties. Your primary power tree is tied directly to what guild you may join, so choose carefully. These are a secondary social organization and are somewhat out of favor in Wraith culture.
; The Great Guilds: Considered “necessary” by Wraiths as a whole.
: Artificers - Kinesis
: Masquers - Moliate
: Pardoners - Castigate
: Usurers - Usury
; The Working Guilds: Rock stars of Wraith culture.
: Chanteurs - Keening
: Harbingers - Argos
: Oracles - Fatalism
: Sandmen - Phantasm
; The Criminal Guilds: What it sounds like
: Haunters - Pandemonium
: Monitors - Lifeweb
: Proctors - Embody
: Puppeteers - Puppetry
: Spooks - Outrage
; The Forbidden Guilds: Exactly what it sounds like...
: Alchemists - Flux
: Solicitors - Intimation

'''A special note on Arcanoi that have an Angst cost listed:'''
These powers increase your Angst while you are not in Catharsis, but cost an Angst while you are in Catharsis.
