Description
   KQE-0600 is a type of Faerie which spontaneously manifests in Hades after the death of a human in the World Above. Most humans are unable to view KQE-0600 instances, beucase of their "Felt and Heard, but not Seen" anomalous ability (KQE-0600.A). See Addendum KQE-0600.A. KQE-0600 instances are extremely strong, capable to output energy greater than what is possible with the muscle mass they possess.
The manifested KQE-0600 instance externally resembles the deceased human almost identically. However, the skin of the KQE-0600 instance is much lighter than the original human template. The internal structure of the Fae creature is completely unique from the template human. See Adendum: Biology and Physiology
It is currently thought that all KQE-0600 instances are built from the memories and thoughts of a deceased human. Shortly after manifestation the KQE-0600 instances have full memory of their "past life". However this memory exponentially decays, most instances looe all memory after ~25 years.

KQE-0600 instances resemble humans almost identically, the main exception being their pale skin. They have protrusions on the body which resembles a skeletal structure, like humans, though this ignores their internal anatomy. Their eyes tend to appear human after recent manifestation though after prolonged exposure to Hades the colouring on the iris typically fades to white.

Internal Structure
KQE-0600 instances contain no skeletal, digestive, endorcine, or immune system. They do contain a cardiorespiratory, muscular, integumentary, and nervous system, though it is heavily modified.
The core feature of KQE-0600 instances is a synthetic organ designated KQE-0019 ("Lazarus Stone"). The KQE-0019 organ is not restricted to KQE-0600 instances, other KQEs are known to have them. The KQE-0019 organ ties the KQE-0600 instance's biological systems together. It seems the KQE-0019 organ generates bodily fluids and mass. It works as a "matter-energy store", incredibly dense and heavy. The KQE-0019 organ rapidly regenerates damaged parts of the body. If enough of the body is damaged the KQE-0019 organ will go into hibernation, this is when the organ can be destroyed, terminating the KQE-0600 instance.

Consensus Hypothesis:
4KQE-0600 instances are manifest beings created in the image of a once-living person.
All KQE-0600 instances contain a Lazarus Stone, the  difference between a Deity, a Fate,
and KQE-0600 instances are soft, and contain overlap.

All KQE-0600 instances are created and sustained by the memories of the people who
remember them. The Underworld acts like a magnet to the memories of all who have died.
And if a memory exits of the person the Underworld can use that to construct a soul.
The is soul is only as accurate as the memories it is built off of. Which is to say
when all who have personally known the KQE-0600 instance in life die or forget the
KQE-0600 instance--the Underworld no longer has anything to
build the soul on. This results in the famous KQE-0600 instances to be vacant and shallow.
Still existing but only as the vague memory they were recorded as, nothing but a
one-note character. Most KQE-0600 instances , however, are not so lucky, and are completely
forgotten. The Underworld can not build a soul off of nothing, and as a result the
soul will then vanish.

The idea of progress does not exist in the minds of KQE-0600 instances, although
deterioration certainly does. At the moment of death, the soul of a person can only
be diminished.
KQE-0600 instances can only be seen by Sabbatarians or those trained they choose to reveal
themselves to. The recently manifested KQE-0600 instances are often mad, confused by the
state they find themselves. After a few years the memories of that person fade and so
with it their soul. These are the most common type of KQE-0600 instances.

The soul can retain a sense of itself up to 25 years.
After this they know only their name and vague facts about the life they lived.
