♦ STUDENT INFORMATION ♦
Name: Kaname Hayamoto
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Grade: 9th
Dorm: Sage
Height: 5' 2"
Appearance:
Personality: Kaname is a cheerful person. She does not let her status as a Ghost/Human hybrid bother her and just goes with the flow. She also does not hold a grudge against humanity for her death, namely because her killer was himself killed minutes later when her sudden revival made him panic, trip over a tree root, and fall on his own sword. She has taken to being a Ghost/Human hybrid surprisingly well because it is a second chance at "life" that few others get to experience.
Kaname carries around a katana whenever possible, but her blade is no ordinary weapon. It is the very same sword that was used to end her mortal life the first time. Some people would find it macabre to carry around the same weapon that was used to kill them, but Kaname has a hard-to-explain bond with it. She also appreciates its expert craftsmanship and how easy it is to wield with only one hand.
Kaname might not be the most technically skilled user of her Talents or the most academically inclined of Eldritch Academy's students, but she makes up for those shortcomings with tenacity and dedication. When not in class, she tends to be in her dorm room or in the gym.
History: Kaname was born in Mistere to parents who were both teachers. Her mother Kaede taught elementary school and her father Adam was a college economics professor. She grew up and lived a happy life until the age of 12, when she chased a thief who broke into her home one night and stole one of her father's most valuable swords. She chased the thief into a park, where he turned on Kaname and stabbed her with the sword. Confident that he had eliminated the only witness to his crime, the thief paused to admire his prize.
This proved to be a fatal mistake... for the thief. Roughly three minutes later Kaname revived and frightened him so badly that he tripped on a tree root and stabbed himself as he tried to flee with the weapon. Unfazed by what had just transpired, Kaname wiped off the sword and took it back home, where she explained what had happened to her parents. It was during this time that she first manifested her Invisibility power by complete accident during a particularly stressful part of the explanation. After that demonstration, her parents made the decision to send her to Eldritch Academy so that she could be around other supernatural entities in an atmosphere free of judgment.
♦ SPECIES INFORMATION ♦
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.
•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 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.
•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.
