In your final years, you spent your ill-gotten riches and the lives of your slaves to conquer your only fear—death. At the pinnacle of your depravity, you performed a series of dread incantations, culminating in a magical atrocity for which the gods condemned you. This doomed your soul to remain forever on the mortal plane—as you intended.Yet death claimed you despite all your precautions. To prevent your return or the rise of anyone like you, all records of your deeds were destroyed, and you were buried in an unmarked tomb.But the horror isn’t over. Perhaps your tomb was unearthed by archaeologists too clever not to notice the gaps in the ancient historical record, and too foolish to heed cryptic warnings. Perhaps tidal upheavals exposed your tomb to the elements and awakened you. Or perhaps powers too terrible for mortals to know called you forth once more at the appointed hour.With the opening of your forlorn grave, your evil spirit fled its confines to take shape again, or rose from its grave as an ancient moldering corpse, or inhabited the body of a miserable mortal. Whatever the condition of your return, you are cursed to a half-life that can only be sustained by preying on the living.Vampire: In life you made an unholy vow to transcend death and take revenge on your enemies with all the powers of darkness.Dessicator: As terrible as your reign was, its ending was more terrible yet. At the hour of your defeat, your enemies pronounced a series of curses meant to bind you to your forgotten tomb, and ritually removed your organs while you still lived so that you would be deprived of your powers and unable to rest.By some unfortunate chance, the seals were broken, and you returned as a dry, desiccated husk, taking revenge and restoring your crumbling body by stealing the skin of your foes.Ghost: ?Mummy: ?Phantom: In life your tyranny was so vile that your enemies burned your broken corpse and scattered the ashes to the wind in a vain attempt to prevent your return. Robbed of your physical form, you are forced to possess the bodies of others, or else reveal yourself as the shade you are.</blockquote>
