Whisps

Description
Whisps are spirits in the Scape who have died and instead of being pulled downward into the Depths have joined with a new body. These bodies can vary greatly. Whisps are a common race and reside in the Verdant Lands, the Second most populous Layer. Whisps lack any and all memories of their previous life.

Bodies
Whisps can inhabit many different types of bodies, but they tend to fit one of three catagories. These Bodies will slowly warp into a suitable form for the whisp, slowly growing more elegant and similar to the other races.

Sylvan
The Sylvan are the most common type of Whisp. They inhabit trees, as their bodies are activly alive the bodies last the longest time, and the oldest Whisps are all Sylvans. A Sylvan body would first begin as a treee with very slow movements, slowly growing features and eventually legs, shrinking to a more efficient size and growing highly beautiful features.

Undead
Undead Whisps are uncommon but not unheard of, they inhabit corpses, usually their own original ones however this is not necessarily true. They begin first as a zombie like form, before slowly drying and gaining instead of pallor a odd mystic beauty, and striking eyes. These bodies do not support spirits as well, but can last for several decades.

Reds
Reds are failed Undead Whisps, Their Spirits have been torn and warped, and their bodies have overreacted, trying to match said spirit.

Dolls
Dolls is the affectionate term given to those Whisps who inhabit artificial bodies. The bond is very unstable, and these Whisp's personalities reflect that. Short lived and eccentric, Dolls are commonly wanderers with a single task.
