The Dead

Everybody dies. And in the world of *Quest Friends! Hereafter,* when someone dies the first time, their soul separates from their body, taking on a form of its own. What form their soul takes depends on the "circumstances of their death," which often overlap and are highly arbitrary.

## Types of Dead

### Banshee

*First Appearance: Bang! Bang!*

Origin: Died wailing.

Physical Attributes: A melted face, with grooves down the eyes where a stream of tears would be. Often pretty sad.

Abilities: Can scream dangerously loudly.

Notable Characters: N/A

### Demon

*First Appearance: The Necromon Thief*

Origin: Died "going down in flames."[1]

Physical Attributes: Horns that grow to match the length of one's sins. Demons have tails and are red. They range in size from "slightly larger than most people" to "multiple stories tall."[2]

Abilities: Resistant to fire, which they can use to manipulate objects and do other spell-like actions.

Notable Characters: Big Jake Hell

### Fury

*First Appearance: N/A*

Origin: Died from betrayal.

Physical Attributes: Winged personifications of vengeance.

Abilities: They always know how to find whomever they blame for their death. They also have a summonable weapon (often a whip), which is extra effective on their target.

Notable Characters: N/A

### Ghost

*First Appearance: Irene's Rival*

Origin: Died with unfinished business.

Physical Attributes: Semi-incorporeal.

Abilities: Deeply connected to their bodies. If they have ashes, they can appear wherever those ashes are. If they have a grave, anything placed in that grave (e.g. clothes) becomes semi-incorporeal and can be summoned at any time. They can interact with physical objects, but slightly less so than other people.

Notable Characters: Stella Hawthorne

### Grim

*First Appearance: Cryptid Cryptids*

Origin: Avatars of death that, with a few exceptions, were never alive in the first place, making them more akin to Necromon than the Dead. Previously ferried souls to the Hereafter and the Afterworlds, but have since been replaced by BITE.

Physical Attributes: Variable, but often resembling some common representation of death, like the Grim Reaper or the Ghost of Christmas Future.

Abilities: A grim's powers vary wildly from individual to individual. Eilidh can turn from a corporeal form into a ghost form, the Boatman has general magic, and Death has knowledge bordering on omnipotence.

Notable Characters: Eilidh, The Boatman, Death
