Geist

When some people die, they walk into the light. However, not everyone is ready to die. Some of those who don't want to die accept a Bargain from an Angel, Demon, Monster, or Ghost to let them live again. People who have been 'blessed' or 'cursed' that way are no longer quite human any more. They straddle the line between living and dead. They are the Sin Eaters.

These are their stories. Some of them come back wanting to help the dead, either for altruistic or selfish reasons. Others become obsessed with the pleasures of the flesh or the new reality of the dead. Some seek knowledge from the Underworld and others seek to regulate what come in and out of that realm. Finally, some seek to use their new power to make this world more comfortable for themselves, or remove others from it. However, no one comes back unchanged. Experiencing one's death is a powerful event.
