Editing The Dresden Files RPG (section)

====Ghosts====
In the Dresdenverse, when you die, your soul goes to the afterlife (which may or may not be the Judeo-Christian one, the nature of the divine is extremely complex and no one on earth or the spirit world/Nevenever has a full understanding), it doesn't linger on. However, if you have unfinished business, you might leave behind a Shade, a spirit that has all your memories, sort of a spiritual footprint. The shade essentially is you, and shades believe that they are the souls of the departed (but they really aren't) at first. They can by seen and heard by some people, but they cannot physically interact with the world unless they go insane. Sunlight, particularly sunrise (which has a metaphysical cleansing effect) is fatal to them. Shades can sometimes get a foothold in the Nevernever and become powerful agencies of their own, creating pocket realms in the spirit world that they can rule over undisputed.

*'''Wraiths''': shades that have gone insane and/or been warped by negative energies

*'''Lemures''': shades that have decided to increase their own power, stave off losing their identities, and attempt to feel more alive by devouring other shades, the undead equivalent of a really dangerous crack addict.
