History of the Wraith (rough draft)

Wraith were created by Thanatos the god of death, Thanatos created them to help aid soul takers with their battles against unwilling souls.Soul takers job was to help souls pass on to the next life weather it be hell or one of the heavens.A wraiths job was to feed off all the aura to make the life weak and easy for a soul taker to take the soul as it wouldn't have strength or aura to fight it any longer.Wraiths are one of the oldest demons that live in Thanatos realm, they were the second race to be created.

The Wraith started out in the tunnels of the realm,they dig and build into it. They would find ruins their god made and would live in them,fixing them up and had an ability to adapt much faster then most demons.Wraiths were not a very demanding race,they tend to keep to themselves and work together.

The first Wraith made, didn't last to long against other demons of the other realms, few survived and through this they learned,Wraith are one fo the few races that are able to sexually reproduce.Thanatos wanted a breed of demons that could some day be considered a race, it had been his plan always.

The Wraith started becoming a packed type breed when they realized by watching other breeds how weak they were against a breed that stood together.Wraith actually taught the demons in Thanatos realm how to stand together and thus making Thanatos realm, the second strongest realm next to Chaos realm.

This worried some of the gods, as now they could be subjected o an attack ad wouldn't be able to defend themselves from the over powering forces of Thanatos realm.Wraith became the most feared,for when they fought,it was savage like.They didn't know much at the tiem on how to fight,so they fought int he way they thought was best and it worked for a few years.

After years of feeding form the Auras of the ones not in the realm of the gods, they started to learn order and living.They started to test these in their own realm, setting up a system.They had their fighters and warriors, their gatherers,and their knowledge keepers.They began marking their warriors, this was of their own nature as they figure it make easier for them to tell which is which when not in battle.

They learned to keep libraries of their race, how they came, who they worship,when did they start to build their race.The Wraith become more and more organized over the years.They learned of the Vampires, and how they feed off blood.They started to bite the necks of their victim to hide their trail, to use the vampires as a cover.They kept their race hidden for thousands and thousands of years.Had their god not unveiled them to the outside realm, they probably remained hidden.

The gods worried on how quickly the Wraith adapted, how fast they learn and how strong they became.They feared that the wraith would over power the whole realms and kill everyone.For this they move to Azure god of life to have them destroyed,Thanatos not liking this moved to have his children be put out of the realm of the gods to live with the others int eh outside realm.Azure fell in favor of Thanatos and thus the wraith were made a race and given one of the sky lands as a home, ruins of a kingdom built into the side of a mountain,the wraiths praised Thanatos and lived as a free race.

Wraith Race

Wraith is a Spirit/Ghost like creature.Wraith means spirit-Ghost in Greek,it is a creature that lives and feeds off the aura or life of others,they feed through the mouths on their hands or with a poisonous bite that paralyzes the victim while they feed off the aura.Wraiths are shape shifters and are mostly marked as part of the demonic race,depending on how one views them.They can be aggressive if felt threaten or need to defend one self.The Wraith have some vampiric traits such as heighten senses and agility.Wraith have a special day on the night of a full blue moon,they ascend into their spirit like form,they are peaceful and non aggressive in this form,the point of this ritual is so that they may understand themselves better and make their link with their god Thanatos strong,The Wraith believe Thanatos has their creature since he is the god of death.The wraith are a pack type race, tend to stick with their own.The Wraith do have weakness, they tend to keep underground or in dark places, as their eyes can allow them to see int he dark,this makes them blind to bright lights shine into their eyes,how ever the sun doesn't bother them as bad since its not in direct to their eyes they can adapt to it abit better then if it was directed into their eyes.Wraiths can not feed off the dead unless the dead is giving off a aura and even then a wraith has to be careful for if the aura is tainted it can make them sick and weaken them,Wraith can't feed off vampires for they can become addicted to the vampiric aura and Vampires of the pureblood nature have such long lives that if a wraith becomes to involved feeding they might feed off the soul and become berserk or insane.Wraith can not eat the soul of anyone,souls react badly to a wraith it messes with their minds and makes them berserk or go insane.Long periods of not eating makes a wraith berserk or frenzy,a state in which it can not come out of.Wraith are effected my Sun stones, the sun stone is created by the sun god,Wraith are more nocturnal creatures so the stones if in contact with a wraith, can pull them out of spirit form, revert them from the form they shape shift into back to their common form, and can burn into their skins.Placing a sun stone can render a Wraith temp paralyze,depending on where it was placed.Sun stones have been known to be made into weapons to better attack wraith.Wraith when not in spiritual form can be effected by any weapon, however they posses the common vampiric trait of healing.Wraiths bleed blue blood,this is the common and best way to find a Wraith when tis shifted to hide with in a crowd.Wraiths Ability to shape shift comes from their bones,they do not have a normal bone structures.The Wraith bones are like shards,when looking at the bone, it is clear and the surface feels like glass, but it is stronger then glass or vampire bones.Shape shifting is a painful thing for a wraith, as it is the shard bones moving and reconnecting into a new form,their skin has to stretch and move with the bones to keep from ripping.Wraith teeth, are sharded at the tips,most the tip a wraith will have issues with closing heir mouth,having an overbite, or having their jaw shifted to the right ro left.It is uncommon to see a wraith able to shut its mouth perfectly.The Wraiths war cry is that of a high pitched shriek, ti alerts near by wraith that it is in trouble and needs help,In battle a wraith will gives its opponent a hiss,as it strikes at it with its claws or weapons.Wraith mark their warriors based on what weapon they use:Close range weapons wielders have a tribal silver marking and sometimes even silver metal markings on their skins,Long range wielders have Celtic silver markings along with metal markings on their skin,Spies have silver vine like markings on their skins along with maybe metal markings of the same design,and mages have silver arcane markings with only one metal marking,which is of their arcane rune mark.What wraiths look like: Wraith all of them have pitch black skin and hair,no wraith ever look different,they have only three different eye colors that glow in darkness,bright green,yellow,and orange.Only one Wraith in recorded history was ever different and ti was the albino wraith, tis a very rare Wraith and almost never survives new born stage.It is a very special Wraith, they are pure white from the hair to the skin, they have light blue eyes.It is rumored that they are more in tuned with Thanatos.They can longer with out feeding then a a normal wraith, they can see aura that is not in complete darkness.Wraiths eyes allow them in darkness to follow aura trails left behind the person who was once there,a albino wraith can see it even in light.
