Redacted Stranger - Tumblr Posts
Okay so imagine ghost Xavier meeting ghost Stranger (the listener from Vincent's episode at The Surge, if you were curious) after his death and they teach him ghost things and they stalk their friends in the living world together.
(Yes, I made ghost lore for the Redactedverse, yes I will at some point make a post about it and nobody will stop me.)
Ghost lore for the Redactedverse because Stranger and Xavier ghost headcanons are my guilty pleasure:
-Ghosts are dead people who died before they were supposed to, so now the rest of their life force keeps their souls around until it runs out.
->Aka: You didn't die of natural causes? Well done, you're a ghost now until you do.
-Ghosts can transfer their life force to another ghost.
->They can't transfer their life force to humans, as they are entirely incompatible in that way.
-People who were consumed by shades turn into ghosts indefinitely as long as their life force is on Elegy within the Shade.
->When the shade is killed before it can use up all of the life force, it is released into Elegy, and the ghost it originally belonged to is bound to be a spirit for the rest of time.
->If the shade uses up all of the life force, the ghost also passes on.
-Ghosts can't interfere with Elegy. They can't interact with inanimate objects and they can't interact with people.
-Ghosts can use d(a)emons' rifts and go to Aria without sustaining any damage or having their life force drained at a faster rate.
-Demons can't see ghosts, but daemons can and serenity daemons specifically can also feed on ghosts' feelings.
->However, any memories of interactions with ghosts are magically erased from daemons' memories or changed into memories of interactions with a normal human in Elegy.
-Ghosts can't touch water just like vampires can't go into the sun. If a ghost makes contact with water, they are immediately transported to the river of death with no way to return.
Might do some more of these another time, but so far this is all I've got. Hope you enjoyed ^^

Listen to the following thought:
Vincent's stranger was scared of roller coasters because they were an electro energetic whose powers got out of control very often. Whenever they sneezed, a light bulb might pop, a lamp might overheat, or their phone might charge five percent. Roller coasters were a nightmare for them because they had no idea how drastically wrong things could go if they somehow let their powers out with a sneeze, a yawn, or when they'd get scared by something.
While they were holding Vincent's hand the whole ride, he occasionally got little shocks and chalked it up to getting shocks from the metal. Now that he knows about magic and once Lovely turned out to be an electro energetic, he tends to wonder about whether this stranger had magic too.
Do you think that after The Surge had the big crash Vincent was half conscious bleeding out on the ground and had to look over to see Stranger's severed hand still holding on to his?
