I represent death by a guardians betrayal. Very few of us Geists can remember much of our time among the living, all I remember is that I was murdered by my father. I don't even remember my name, you may call me the Murdered Daughter.
Most Geister have agendas when freed from the under world. some want to experience the sensations of life again, others wish to cause more deaths. some, like myself, wish to prevent the kinds of deaths that gave birth to us. in order for us to do this, we need living bodies. so we aproach beings that are sensitive to the enrgies of death, or to the spirit world. and we wait. eventually, one will have a near death experience, or more often, actually die. then we aproach them. we stop time at the exact moment when they would pass on, and we make an offer. We promise to return them to life, and boldter and focus there latent Psychic abillities. In exchange, we get to piggy back in the hosts soul. This makes us a hybrid Entity. for all intents and perpases Scootaloo and I are one entity, with one soul. only death by old age, or incredibly powerful necromancy, can seperate us. of course, should Scootaloo die again, and not wish to be ressurected, then I can sever the bond then, though my ressuerection is much less dangerous than a typical Geist's. I can also stop her from aging past a certain age if she so desires, but that is a power unique to me.
Geister can only bind to certain types of Hosts. some can only bond to hosts who posses the same threshold, or type of death. others can only bind to a host who resonates with their personal history. and a few are not so limited. My only goal is to protect victims of a Guardians betrayal. for this reason, all of my hosts have been abused or neglected children
*Cyber Dash looks incredibly guilty at hearing that, and is choking back tears. she pulls the other two foals out of the room and tells them to wait outside. she then activates the scaner on the table bastara is laying on, before moving to a corner of the room. she seems to mbe trying very hard to not let the rooms remaining conscieus occupants see her cry*
*The murdered daughter ignores this, she points to the doll that Scootaloo is holding*
This is my Keystone, it is a type of moento, an item touched by death. One of the bound, or Sin-eaters in modern parlance, can use these Items of death as a werewolf would a spirit bound fetish, or a mage an enchanted artifact. each Keystone Memento is unique, as it is a symbol of the bond between the Geist and Host. they are indestructible, as long as I am existent the doll can not be broken. if it is lost, stolen, or destroyed, then My host can re-summon it. or she can store it with in our shared soul. Most keystones have some minor power associated with it as well. a Geist of gun violence may have a keystone that takes the form of a pistol that never needs to be reloaded. Mine always take a form that my host finds comforting, and can protect them from mundane nightmares.
At least, that is how it works in my home world. I've never traveled to other worlds before, as most in mine lack the ability. this is all very exiting, really.
*At this point, the scan stops, and the Geist waits for Bastara to respond*
