STP Voices Spirit Types

I might not be able to draw the Voices as Spirits fully yet (almost adjusted to our new timetable), but here's a possible description (spoilers below):

All of them are a type of interactive personality, since all of them are beta testers in an early access RPG field. They can interact with the "real world" while waiting for the mirror portal to teleport them back to their "lobby". This isn't TADC, this is more like... Pokemon XYZ. Here's how this may unfold individually:

Broken is a kitsune-egbere hybrid. Humanoid, checkered hoodie as in the previous spirit image. Hides fox ears and eleven tails that appear during the unraveling. Take off his hoodie, though, and he will try to fawn his way out of here.

Cheated is a bhoota because he is as restless and itching for revenge as that ghost. Perfectly fitting for Razor as well. Those poor legs tho.

Cold has Ifrit-like qualities to him as he's associated with death and the underworld, but is also hella sturdy. The most part of him is a shade, though, as he is hazy, sly and obscured by time.

Contrarian gets poltergeist qualities in being able to attach to Hero and being his mischievous young self in the limbo)) Bodily fair folk.

Hero, though European, is the closest we get to an Amadlozi, since this spirit is closest to God, like he is to unlocking the Shifting Mound's secrets.

Hunted is another shade, more animalistic and obscure, helps him stay hidden most of the time, usually in the form of a small animal (a hare, a groundhog, may turn into a coyote or a fox in the Instict route).

Another semi-poltergeist is Opportunist in attuning himself to others emotions but not selves. He's bodily a hitchhiker, fitting his sleazy, switchy personality.

Paranoid is part-snake, part-elf, but a small one, closer to the fair folk, but the might is still there. Crafts spells, The SwordTM and most other witchery. Partially a Brownie as he's second in command after Cold in Medicine department.

A reverse Amadlozi is Smitten since, though rich, aspiring, gentlemanly, he has his eyes averted from the truth... and it hurts him. His Goddess is very far away due to this. Bodily a dark elf.

Skeptic is a djinn-taur hybrid, utilizing the smarter and more magical side of the latter. Usually uses his hands for typing and other things, instead of front hooves.

Stubborn is a centaur, because he now has additional legs, horns and might. And love for poetry.

Again, those are their forms for when in the limbo, their bodies stay human, it's just how their soul manifests via safety accesory (necklaces so far, will soon upgrade this).

Being With a Healer Is Not Always Easy

To love a healer is to step into a world many do not see a world where the ordinary folds into the sacred, where the past whispers through the present, and where vulnerability walks hand in hand with strength. Being an inyanga is not simply a gift or a role it is a calling woven with responsibility, ritual, and the weight of ancestral guidance. Yet, not many understand this path, especially those…

Never Truly Alone

My ancestors continue to show me, time and time again, that they are always with me. They confirm their presence in ways I can’t ignore be it gentle reminders, divine signs, and moments of deep knowing. I don’t take any of it lightly. I’m deeply grateful for them, for their unwavering presence, for their openness, and for how unapologetically they walk with me. There are times when I feel like…

Navigating Through Troubled Waters

 A mistake I made was to think that this journey would be easier, maybe because it feels like my first time going through it in this lifetime. I assumed certain things wouldn’t affect me so deeply, but they have, and in ways I didn’t see coming. Still, I am grateful for the glimpses of support I’ve received, and for the reassurance my ancestors have given me ever since I found out about her…

Is it weird for me to feel like I need to be alone? 

A deep, unshakable sense of longing envelops me, urging me to step away from the noise of the world for a time. I feel a compelling desire to seek solace and rejuvenation, to reconnect with the roots of my heritage that cradle me in a profound sense of belonging. This journey calls me to a tranquil space, where silence resonates with a calming energy that wraps around me like a warm, comforting…
