Ghosts play a major role in the story of Alexander. Often used as a source of grief for characters inside the universe, ghosts do not like to follow the rules of existence. But there are a few consistencies in their appearance and behavior.

Ghosts like to be alone. They generally don’t stay with one another, and find the place where it’s calmest for them to spend their afterlife. Catching up with relatives, talking about their life, the list goes on. This does not apply if the ghost was murdered, however. They are strictly attached to the people that murdered them. This is also the only occasion where people can sometimes see ghosts. If a person is feeling guilt or having memories of their death, they may appear. Ghosts cannot do this on will.

Ghosts will also be attached to people if they firstly, choose to stick with the person, and secondly, the person has guilt or negative feelings about the person’s death regardless of whether or not the person killed them. These ghosts tend to be more mellow than ghosts that were killed. Attachment to a person is also one of the only times where ghosts group, especially if the person killed more than one person. They generally don’t get along very well though.

If the person the ghost is haunting dies, they are freed from having to follow them, and usually wander around by themselves. Or they make fun of the person as a ghost. It’s a 50/50 chance pretty much.

Ghosts may experience a shift in personality. Death changes you in ways you never would have expected. Whether this be a ghost finding peace, or a ghost becoming more vengeful after a murder, these shifts sometimes come out of nowhere. Memories also may become foggy, specifically bad ones. This can lead to confusion in the afterlife. This is often referred to as “Ghost Fog”.

People with abilites usually keep them in the afterlife, unless it directly contradicts with them being dead.

Ghosts are not known by most. Ghosts generally do not speak or appear to anybody to avoid having the entire scientific field chasing after them. They do, however, like to mess with ghost hunters. Most ghost hunters and their “ghost encounters” are fake, but occasionally they will appear to one of them to freak them out. Nobody ever believes them, obviously. Murderers and criminals are the only ones who have reportedly seen them frequently, and who’s going to believe them?

Ghosts do not have a consistent appearance. This is very often based off of their personality and their life. This can also be based off of their personality in the afterlife, as more vengeful ghosts tend to be darker and their appearance shifts slightly. Ghosts are often themed around a specific color, but some may not be.

Death wounds often keep into the afterlife. Gunshot wounds stay, as do any neck wounds, and any other wounds that might kill a person. Blood might be a different color, and will often still drip and bleed.

Their clothes are sometimes the same as those when they died, though this is not always the case.

Eyes changed from ghost to ghost. Some ghosts have pure white eyes, usually calmer ones, which some ghosts may have dark eyes with white pupils, usually more aggressive ones. There are various other types of eyes though, and not all of them mean anything.

Appearance-changing abilities still work in the afterlife.
