The gates of Death are said to be impervious. Most of the time this is the case, but sometimes cracks or rents form, sometimes slowly over the years and so subtly that it takes a while before Death even notices. Sometimes a great rift is made in some act of hubris or accident. Whatever way, many souls of the dead resent being beyond the gates and even after aeons will still claw their way out if given the opportunity, ready to try (and fail) to return to the land of the living. But during that time that they are free for they can wreak all sorts of havoc, for they seek flesh to become more 'alive' but instead create shambling horrors, other times they lash out of the living, jealous of what they have - or seek to finish business that they could not while alive. Most of the time however they are so alienated from their time beyond the gates that all they feel is numbness once they arrive - memories provide the only warmth they can feel and they have none... for the moment. Instinct: To Return to Life

• Possess a corpse and 'resume' life
• Steal a memory from the living.
