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.
