The Undead

The Undead are Elementals stuck in a state between dead and alive. Most believe them to be a hoax or just a fairy tale.

Becoming Undead
Whenever an Elemental dies, there is a low chance they will become undead.

Two factors are very important for this to happen: an incredibly strong will to live and a goal in their past life they feel like it needs to be fulfilled before moving on. But even if both of these factors are met, becoming an UNdead is still a very rare occurrence.

Physiology
If undead, an Elemental's personality changes completely (e.g. an independent Elemental turning into someone in need of the guidance of a parental figure). Still, even with that change, the soul of their living self might peek through for short amounts of time. The two sides of someone undead are essentially two completely different people.

After their death their skin turns greyish and their body temperature sinks. Even when torn apart, shot or even turned into a bloody mess they don't "die". Cut off limbs can be just attatched again and worse damage will be healed by burrying them in the ground overnight.

The only way of freeing someone undead is by having them reach their goal. When their sould leaves their body they will turn into dust, finally able to move on to the afterlife.

 * According to an old legend a sea monster, believed to be an undead Elemental, lives in the waters of Phoenie. So far, no one seems to know if this creature really exists, let alone if they are really an Undead.
