Edit: failed to mention the true form reveal thing applies to mostly ghost/mortal interactions XD The ghosts generally show each other their true forms to either get to know each other, or because they had yet to find a suitable physical form X'D

All my ghost characters now have two forms: their physical forms which is always seen

and their true forms, which is what they looked like at the time they were sent to purgatory. Which is where my characters are stuck in XD these 'true forms' are only visible when the ghost trusts someone with their afterlife. The reason for this is because most of the ghosts despise or fear they're true forms. It reflects their deaths and tends to bring back bad memories. Why they reveal it to the trusted individual however, can vary depending on the ghost.

Mystery - for the individual to understand her. She wants them to see why she is as she is
Trist - to show the person what truly happened to him. Not many can fully accept he was murdered by his own father just for being who he wants to be.
Jane - to show she's not just some immature child. She generally shows herself as a child, it's her preferred form. But many see her as immature because of it.
B.M - so others can fear her, and thus stay away. Anyone who gets too close, she scares away. She doesn't trust herself to form a proper relationship.  Demons shouldn't have relationships, especially not adead one with any sort of liviing bring.
Mia - for those curious about her past. She doesn't care to be honest, but if someone she trusts asks about it, she will oblige and let them know her past.
Fay - A test of judgement. As she can't stand the scars that came from her death, they reflect on a time where assumpions is all people used as a justice system.


Dolly - haunted nightmares. Her true form only shows when in PDS's nightmares. Dolly as a ghost, disappears 8 years after she died.
Pengi - breaks the mould. Since she drowned, her true form is the same as her physical form. Only difference is...ones dropping wet and covered in seaweed |'D pengi loves to show her true form to newbies at the base...|'D




Thought it'd be cool to reveal this now xD
Just so i can keep track of this idea xD

Interesting idea and concept I must say o3o quite meticulous in its layout and how each o’the ghost forms is shown. Is cool like that xD 

I like how they each have different reasons for showin' their forms like that. Shows a lot about each o'the ghosts an' what they're like ouo 

Great work on this ^^
