Undead

The Undead are twisted, foul creatures that seek the destruction of the living. Despite being chaotic and dangerous, the Undead carry with them a twisted and malevolent version of the intelligence they once had.

When a person or Unsent is completely consumed by a negative emotion, called the Ruling Emotion, they become Undead. This effect is more prominent in the Unsent as they are already wracked by powerful emotions.

The Ruling Emotions are Greed, Rage, Lust, Fear, and Sadness.

The physical appearance of the Undead varies, especially where the Ruling Emotion is concerned. Greedy Undead are bulbous and disgusting, consuming everything in their path. Raging Undead are towers of rippling muscle and razor sharp teeth. Lusting Undead are wiry, graceful, and full of hidden claws. Fearful Undead are gaunt, quick, and their aura rends away at one's mental fortitude. Sad Undead pulsate with ear bursting wails of pain and appear as short, urchin-like beasts.
