Name of Species: Ghost/Human Hybrid
Baseline Dimension: Members of this species can exhibit any range of human baseline dimensions because they are mixed with humans.
Baseline Appearance: Members of this species can exhibit any combination of eye, hair and skin color. They can also exhibit any appearance since they are mixed with humans.
Culture/Origin of Species: Ghost/Human hybrids are frequently the product of a human encounter with death, almost always a premature death. For most people their first encounter with death is their last, but for a "fortunate" few it is only the beginning. The individual finds that they retain their humanity but are imbued with the essence of a ghost complete with attendant strengths and weaknesses. While they often do not possess the full-power versions of abilities available to full-fledged Ghosts, the greatest advantage Hybrids possess is their ability to pass as normal. To normal people Ghost/Human Hybrids appear just like them... unless the Hybrid openly uses their powers in front of normal people.
Traits:
•Intangibility: Members of the species can turn intangible at will to pass through walls or other solid objects.
•Invisibility: Members of this species can turn invisible at will to hide from mortals. They have a harder time hiding from fellow supernaturals and other beings gifted with spiritual awareness.

•Invisibility: Members of this species can turn invisible at will to hide from mortals. They have a harder time hiding from fellow supernaturals and other beings gifted with spiritual awareness.
•Conceal: Members can channel their invisibility powers to hide any number of small objects from normal sight or one large man-portable object (ex. sword, other weapon, etc.) from normal sight. Sight granted by spiritual awareness is harder to foil, but it can be done.
•Spiritual Awareness: Ghost/Human hybrids gain an awareness of the supernatural world that lets them experience what normal people cannot. They can see and hear things that normal humans cannot.
•Spiritual Awareness: Ghost/Human hybrids gain an awareness of the supernatural world that lets them experience what normal people cannot. They can see and hear things that normal humans cannot.
•Spiritual Communication: Ghost/Human Hybrids cannot just see and hear things related to the supernatural, they can also speak to them. They have a particular affinity for communicating with ghosts. Communication can be conducted verbally or through more traditional methods (ex. seances).
•Possession Resistance: Being a hybrid grants a degree of resistance to possession by ghosts or other entities. Possession of a hybrid can still be accomplished, but the entity will have to make more than a casual attempt in order to succeed.
Flaws:
•Holy Objects- Holy objects can temporarily stymie members of this species. However, simply waving them in front of the Ghost/Human Hybrid is not enough. The holder of the item must possess genuine faith for the repelling effect to happen.
•Silver Weapons- Silver weapons can defeat Intangibility and inflict harm upon Ghost/Human hybrids.
•Silver Weapons- Silver weapons can defeat Intangibility and inflict harm upon Ghost/Human hybrids.
•Iron Weapons- Iron weapons can inflict harm on Ghost/Human hybrids, but weapons made of rare meteoric iron are especially dangerous to them. Meteoric iron weapons can also defeat Intangibility.
