Haemospectres (Bloodsouls)

Haemospectres, or Bloodsouls in common parlance, are low-level supernatural entities within the DSRR. They are ghosts of deceased Reds, made of their blood and kept in the material world by willpower. 
== Appearance ==
Haemospectres can take on appearances as varied as their former selves, but they share several fundamental characteristics. These entities are always composed exclusively of blood, whether as a liquid, a suspended mist of particles, or in rare cases a solid. Most haemospectres are anthropomorphic or amorphous, and in many cases they maintain one or more characteristics from before their death, like hairstyle, facial features, general body shape, etc. 
== Mythology ==
Bloodsouls are featured in local mythology throughout the DSRR. They are primarily connected to the notion of "unfinished business", and are described as disappearing once they have fulfilled their purpose. Additionally, bloodsouls are closely tied to the notion of blood as the seat of the soul within Red folklore. 
== Presence in the Material World ==
The leading theory, based on both research and interviews of the entities themselves, is that haemospectres use a modified form of energy transfer, like that present in living blood and in runic magic. The willpower of the individual is what guides this energy transfer, which means that a strong focus or goal are required for the haemospectre to remain in the material world.Category:People/Organisations
