DEATH & MORALITY (LORE)

Ghoulhoods are spirits that can move between the mortal world, the two realms, and Purgatory.They're not souls of the dead trying to come back, rather just entities living in a different realm called Purgatory. Their magic is very advanced, therefore they travel through realms to explore and have a good time! Though their true spiritual appearance might freak someone out, they make themselves a body to inhabit. Some ghouls prefer to not have a "physical body" and just float around as is. They'll wear hoods/head accessories imbued with magic. Another thing they also have is a tag, which can be anything from a clothing tag to a meat tag.Want more on the world's lore? Click here!

Morality, ethics, and values
Many wonder about what happens after death. Some hope there's nothing, while others hope there is something. After death, a soul is formed and appears in one realm.
For ghouls, morals, ethics, and values are a moot point. Yes, their souls align with a certain sub-type because of their decisions, but they are not two dimensional creatures. Because of this, a ghoul's soul can change colors and patterns. Beliefs can always change, and morals are fluid.In the realm of the ghouls, there are four areas to travel to:
☆ Mortalis, the land of the living.
✧ Beatus, the land of the blessed.
★ Purgatory, the land of the in-between.
✦ Maledictis, the land of the cursed.
➜ These realms are vastly different from one another, and their names do not necessarily take on their meanings. No one is "good" or "bad," but they all have paths to take, even after death. These realms are here to show ghouls through their afterlife.
➜ Many ghouls move between realms, and many stay in one realm for eternity. It depends on the inhabitant themselves and how they choose to shape their experience.Ghouls pop into existence at one of these lands after their physical vessels have perished. There are many different forms for souls to take, and everyone is unique. The world is not simply black and white, so the same applies to these energetic forms.Purus souls
➜ These souls are the color white or an off-white. They can also be a very pastel color as well. These souls tend to be reserved, cautious, and slow with their decisions. Nothing is a race, and everything is a necessary choice. Life had a timer, but death does not. Ghouls who are purus-aligned are explorers, wanting to map every inch of their experience.
Corrumpo souls
➜ These souls can range from pure black to a dark grey. If they have color, that color is either very dark or very desaturated. Ghouls with these forms tend to be hasty, exciteable, and risky with their decisions. They oftentimes feel that they wasted their living moments, so in this chapter of their story, they want to do everything as much as possible.
Miscellaneous souls
➜ These souls don't apply to the above options. They can come in a variety of colors and patterns. Some are a mix between purus and corrumpo, and others are simply neither.
DISSECTION OF A GHOUL (ANATOMY)
Ghoulhoods come in multiple forms. These forms can be switched between without using up an item or MYO ticket.The forms listed on the right side are as follows:
- Feral, a form where the ghoul has all traits of an animal.
- Anthropomorphic, a form where a ghoul has most traits of an animal, but has the ability to do human things.
- Humanoid, a form where the ghoul has more human traits than animal. This is shown most commonly in the hands and face.Despite the forms, all ghouls must have the requirements:
- Filling
- Tag(s)
- A hood/head accessory
- A zipper/type of closure

Trait rarities explained
Common is the bottom rarity, and all ghouls can have these traits no matter what rarity make-your-own slot a user has.
Uncommon is the rarity above common traits, and requires either an item or make-your-own slot of that rarity.
Rare is the rarity above uncommon traits, and requires either an item or make-your-own slot of that rarity.
Mythical is the top rarity and is above common, uncommon, and rare slots. Items cannot be used to make a trait mythical.What about exclusive traits?
Exclusive traits are traits that pertain to specific spirit types. If a ghoul has more than three traits, they qualify as that spirit type.
Exclusive traits are not a rarity, they are just a classifier that helps other ghouls identify your ghoul as a specific spirit!You do not need a "exclusive" MYO, rather you just need exclusive traits, and those can be swapped with an existing trait.
For example, if you had a devil tail on your ghoul, but you wanted a ghoulbot plug tail instead, you can either swap the traits or combine them to create a plug tail shaped like a spade (the tip of a devil tail).We give out exclusive traits in events and raffles, so keep an eye out in the Discord server to nab them!

When you have a slot, you can use that slot's rarities plus the ones below it.
