Discussion Main / SoullessShell

• All of Hamilton's zombies begin as Empty Shells and slowly degrade to Inhuman Humans. Because though a powerful animator (like Anita) can make a zombie look damn near perfect, eventually the magic jump-start supplied by the animator's power wears off and the living corpse begins to rot. While still self-aware. These zombies are perfectly obedient, answer questions truthfully and literally, but rarely have more than the slightest remnant of their personality, because their soul has gone on to its reward, and cannot be restored (not even byAnita). (Except when it can.) Except some fall into Monster Beyond The Veil. The zombies of the murdered or abused come back with vengeance in their milky white eyes, and cannot be controlled. Unknowingly raising a murder victim results in Anita getting hurt on at least one occasion.

Plonking this here because it doesn't add much to the example, which is fully covered by the first level bullet point still on the page, it's quite likely natter, and the detailed explanation should be on the works page if it belongs anywhere on the wiki. Also removed the YMMV/Mary Sue potholes.

alliterator: I don't think this is a duplicate of Empty Shell. This is when a person dies and is brought back without a soul - Empty Shell is just about a body that had no person inside it and is, essentially, "empty" of everything.
