MARCUS // FIELD CLASSIFIER
Behavior Description
A spirit that does not know it is dead. Cycles through a loop of their last living moment. Cannot be reasoned with in the living world.
Known Characteristics
Can become coherent when Eli is present in the Alternate Frequency Plane (AFP).
Behavior Description
Never crossed over from the AFP. Exists in the living world, anchored to a personal object. Cannot move far from the object. Becomes agitated when it is threatened.
Known Characteristics
Freeing a Tethered does not send them violently through the breach — destroying the tether allows them to pass naturally where they always belonged.
Behavior Description
A spirit that knows it is dead. Coherent. Full memory intact. Has made some form of peace with its situation.
Known Characteristics
Can move completely freely through both planes and between different locations — not bound to a single place. Rare. The most communicative spirit type cataloged.
Behavior Description
Amplifies existing emotional states in the living without direct contact. Cannot create feelings that are not already present. Only intensifies what exists.
Known Characteristics
The effect wears off naturally once the feeling has resolved or the Corruptor moves far enough away. Eli is completely immune — his dual-plane nature makes half of him inaccessible to the Corruptor's signal.
Behavior Description
A protective spirit. Assumes the appearance of someone it associates with what it is protecting. Fights to defend its territory.
Known Characteristics
Dynamic localized emission tracking. Can be successfully contained via the Remote Containment Unit (RCU).
Behavior Description
A spirit that has crossed over in a state of rage or violent unresolved emotion. Feeds on fear. Physical. Dangerous. Capable of interacting with the living world with force.
Known Characteristics
The sonic scream is a Burner ability — a highly localized frequency discharge used offensively. Stops completely at consecrated ground.
Behavior Description
A spirit that has learned to inhabit a living human body, displacing the host's consciousness. The host is still inside — aware, powerless.
Known Characteristics
Ancient, patient, and extremely powerful. A Rider possesses the tactical ability to transfer between living hosts via direct physical contact.
Behavior Description
The rarest and most powerful spirit type. Has existed long enough to develop abilities beyond any other classification.
Known Characteristics
Can inhabit a human form deliberately and completely — not possession in the traditional sense, but a full, sustained assumption of living human appearance.
