Goetian Wraithsketeers

## About the Goetian Wraithsketeers

Servants of the Ars Goetia. Like with regular Wraithsketeers, the Goetian variation are people who have potential to become Masketeers that have come into a contract with a Wraith. However, those in contract with the Ars Goetia gain exceptionally more benefits in comparison with that of the standard Contract Wraiths.

In very rare cases, a Goetian Wraithsketeer manages to gain the respect and approval of the Kings and Queens of the Ars Goetia, they can be given a choice to join the ranks as one of their members. Rejecting the offer will have no negative consequences.

## Appearance & Behavior

Like with others who are bonded with a spirit animal or contracted with a Wraith, the appearance of the Goetian Wraithsketeers vary depending on the person. However, it should be noted that those contracted with the Ars Goetia tend to have more grand and expensive-looking attire. Their masks and color scheme usually matches that of the main Wraith that they are contracted with. When in their "civilian" form, their pupils become slits, their skin tone becomes notably paler and almost gray in color, and they usually wear layers of clothes or carry umbrellas to cover themselves from sunlight.

Goetian Wraithsketeers usually keep to themselves or with other Goetian Wraithsketeers while in civilian form. Much like regular Wraithsketeers, they follow the terms of their contracts, which is absolute loyalty to the Ars Goetia. Because their contracts make them gain characteristics and behavior of Wraiths, they usually respond to situations and problems with aggression and tend to be drawn towards negative emotions, though these habits are relatively easy to control. Unlike with normal Wraithsketeers, the Goetian variant do not experience any degradation to their sanity or morals, and in fact are encouraged by their contracted Wraiths to get better and improve. This likely stems from how the Ars Goetia has various other methods of gathering negative emotions, and as such likely views the degradation of their contracted Wraithsketeer to be a waste of resources.

## Abilities

Goetian Wraithsketeers possess many of the same powers as those of a Masketeer and normal Wraithsketeer but to an exceptionally greater degree. In terms of roles, most Wraithsketeers of the Goetian variety tend to be all-rounders, with only some specializing and focusing on a certain role. They can also form numerous contracts, thus increasing their abilities. Unlike normal Wraithsketeers, they do not have an Unleashed Form but they don't really need one in order to fight well.

* **Enhanced Physical Abilities-** Like Masketeers and normal Wraithsketeers, the Goetian variant gain an increase in their physical strength. This strength increase is not determined by their contracted Wraith's own power, but rather by the Wraithsketeer's health, both mentally and physically. While usually inactive in civilian form, Goetian Wraithsketeers are able to enhance their physical prowess at will, either through strong outbursts of emotions or with training.
* **Magic-** Goetian Wraithsketeers can use magic in addition to their physical prowess. The type of magic they can perform depends on the Wraith(s) they are contracted with. Like with their enhanced physical strength, magic can be used in their civilian form via emotional outbursts or training.
* **Harvest-** Goetian Wraithsketeers are able to drain the negative energy from humans and Wraiths. After harvesting, they can send the negative energy they've collected directly to the Ars Goetia via their masks.
* **Negativity Radar-** Goetian Wraithsketeers can sense negative energy, both from humans and Wraiths. Those that are experienced in sensing negative energy can even tell the difference between the negativity of two or more people and can pinpoint the exact location of a specific person or Wraith.
* **Ars Goetia-** Goetian Wraithsketeers can also call upon their contractors for assistance. This assistance comes in various forms, such as a magical object, a power boost, and so on. There is no guarantee that they will provide help when asked, however...
* **Goetian Burst-** Essentially a Goetian variation of the Masketeers' Astral Burst technique.

## Weaknesses

While the Goetian Wraithsketeers may have many strengths, they also have various weakness. For instance, they can still be killed and can die of illnesses and old age.

* **Half-Wraith, Half-Human-** As a side-effect of their contract, Goetian Wraithsketeers become something... less than human. Because of this, they gain some of the strengths and weaknesses of a Wraith, such as levitation or an aversion to daylight.
* **Shortened Lifespan-** As another side-effect of their contract, Goetian Wraithsketeers die of old age much faster compared to other people. These shortened lifespans usually range from 50-60 years but can be affected by the number of contracts that the person has.
* **Negativity Radar-** While this can be good for helping the Wraithsketeer in locating people, if a particular negative energy is very strong, it can cause mental damage. The severity of the damage varies, with less experienced individuals being knocked into a coma and more experienced radar users getting minor headaches or migraines.

## Trivia

* Many of the Goetian Wraithsketeers are named after various historical and mythological figures, such as Achilles and Kaguya-hime.
	+ In some rare cases, these individuals are actually descendants and/or reincarnations of the figures they share a name with.
