Physical description


6ft 3in tall. He has long shoulder length ragged and torn blonde hair that is matted, damaged and full of dirt and dried blood. His eyes are pale grey and lifeless giving him a tired, and cold expression. His physique is tall and slender with very little fat or muscle on him. He often stares straight through people, looking at something far off in the distance, something that no one else can see. His skin is a very pale white, even before he was a ghost, and bears the scars of the wounds he endured during his traumatic death. He materialises in this scarred state.


Character Concept


Mortis is a very anti-social ghost, but is not physically aggressive to others. He is condescending and occasionally angry towards people who try to talk to him. He bears a great deal of hatred for Spiritists and ghost hunters, as they have tried to kill him several times before. Often when people try to interact with him, Mortis will be difficult to get along with due to his tendency to angrily push people away. But despite his efforts to keep others at bay, he is actually a very lonely ghost with a lot of sadness hidden away behind a facade of anger. His real emotions are easily seen in his empty eyes, that rarely make eye contact with strangers. He usually drifts around the outskirts of towns and rarely enters them even when materialised. He knows he could just end his loneliness and pain at any time by choosing to reincarnate, but he is kept here by hope that his sister is still alive, though it is very likely she is not.

In life, he was a peaceful and wise youth for his age. He often calmed his sister down after she had been wronged and had a knack for ordering a persons thoughts. In death, he lacks his calm and peaceful attitude but he still knows the basic workings of the mind and so finds it unnaturally easy to possess people at such a young ghost age.

He fluctuates between being over-confident and proud, to extremely lacking in confidence depending on the situation, and his mood.


Backstory


Mort remembers very little of his mortal life. What he does remember is that he lived on a farm. Where abouts he does not remember. He can remember glimpses of sunshine and peace on the farm, an ideal life. But the only thing he can remember all too clearly is his death. He remembers sitting next to the fire place in the farmhouse with his sister, a face he remembers with crystal clarity. All of a sudden, in an explosion of noise, several burly men stormed the house. Before he could react he was jumped by a massive brute and pinned to the ground. He remembers that his hair was pulled hard to stop him struggling as the bandits looted what meager possesions they had. His sister was violently raped right before his very eyes, and he could do nothing but watch as she was ravaged over and over and over again. The last thing he remembers is his sisters limp body be hauled out of the house as another bandit lifted his mace above his head and smashed it into his with brutal force, making everything go black.

Sometime later he re-awakened as a ghost, with little memory of his former life. He haunted his old farmhouse for a while until he remembered what had happened to his sister and why he must have chosen not to reincarnate. Though she was raped so many times, he never saw her die. What if the bandits had taken her as a pet, and had no intention of killing her just yet?
He set off after the bandits, though in truth he had no idea where to look. Time blended together as he searhed for her. Eventually, he gave up his search and drifted aimlessly around the land. He distrusted the living, even more so after he was betrayed by a spiritist. 5 years on from his death he still hasn't found any sign of his sister. Its likely that she is dead, killed and discarded after being used up. But Mortis is in denial over this. He refuses to believe his sister is dead and holds out hope of finding her one day.
