GBA Lore: Ghost Types
Something I've been kicking around in my head for a while. It feels good getting it out on paper.
---
- Some ghosts are born naturally, others are reincarnated spirits of the dead. The former happens more frequently than the latter.
- Ghosts born from reincarnation are the result of a fitful death, a lingering soul, or the burning desire to resolve unfinished business.
- However, not all dead people will turn into Ghosts.
- Reincarnated Ghosts have little memory of who they were before death. Sometimes they pick up flickers of recognition, but until they're given solid proof, most of their memories lay forgotten.
- The Ghost they are reincarnated into is random, but it will always be the start of its evolutionary chain.
- Spiritomb are ALWAYS born from reincarnation.
- Shedinja and Froslass are exceptions to the above rules regarding reincarnation, as their "death" is spurned by evolution. As such, they retain full memory of who they were before evolving.
- Most Ghosts have relatively average body mass. Those who don't are few and far between, but rely on weighted clothing to live a functional daily life.
- Ghosts are the most durable Pokemorphs and tend to be some of the longest-lived, so to speak. However, they age in realtime until their mid thirties, where the aging process begins to lag.
- Typical Ghost abilities include phasing through objects, hovering and flying. Other ghostly powers operate on a case-by-case basis, however.
- Skilled Ghosts can possess others, but there are legal ramifications associated with it, so most generally don't do it.
- Most Ghosts are capable of reproduction. (Shedinja is once again an exception because of all their biological goo is gone.)
- Ghosts' bodies are somewhat pliable, but not to the extent of a Ditto. However, their overall bodyshape is constant, and can take several years to change, including a gain or loss in fat or muscle mass.
- Ghosts don't need to eat, breathe or sleep, but they're not incapable of it.
