Phantasm Race
Phantasms... the very essence of the dead.
.. but, who are they...?
.. and why have they come...?
It is known that abnormal phenomena has occurred much before medieval times.. however, the continent of Ilias has now been visited by a new, formerly unknown race of... ghosts; the Phantasms.

The Arrival
Music Track #1
Katsumi, a prominent mercenary assailant, had snuck into the Eternal Library of Little Lantern Town on a cold, dark evening night. The midnight moon was glittering outside the window of the stonebrick stronghold with the magical torches forever flickering and crackling softly. The sound reverberated throughout the lonely rooms of the Library... She was there on her own behalf in the search for new magical methods and abilities from the leather-bound books strewn throughout. She quietly made her way to the third floor by climbing up two sets of aged wooden ladders, seemingly still in good condition. "Something's not right here..", Katsumi whispered to herself. Before opening the trapdoor to the third floor, she noticed something at the corner of her eye in the empty room she stood in. Quickly, the object faded away from sight. "...hm..?". She brushed it off thinking she was disorientated from being up so late and continued up the ladder, cautiously. As she reached out to open the trapdoor's latch, she suddenly heard whispering and wind flowing. Katsumi jumped to the base of the ladder and unsheathed her assassination dagger, in ready for any danger. The sounds of melancholy murmuring slowly grew louder and louder until it was as if they were right next to her ears. And when she thought she began feeling the air of the whispers touching her ears.. no sound. All sound around her suddenly vanished. She could not hear even the blazing torches in the room next to her. The moonlight coming from the window on the opposite side of the room began moving. The light stretched further and further towards Katsumi, slowly, ever so eagerly, as if it was a lion sneaking up on its prey.. She swung a different blade from behind her and threw it at the crawling light..
Something suddenly grabbed her feet and the moonlight rushed towards her, screams ringed out overwhelming startling Katsumi. Her sword is knocked out of her hand and her hair gets pulled backward. She yells at the top of her lungs for her life. She shouts and tries to free her limbs from the darkness. The light reaches her feet and her eyes were blinded by a screen of white color, and cannot hear or see anymore.

Music Track #3
Katsumi wakes up outside the Eternal Library, next to the ocean tides that morning. She gains consciousness and quickly stands up in a combat stance using her fists. She feels around her back and finds that her swords are still there. Katsumi slowly recalls the events of what happened last night. Realizing what happened, she wrote down into her journal of the horrific discovery that the ghosts of the slain are now coming back up from hell and can physically interact with the world...
Some Ideas for the Phantasm Race
There should be something extra for this race, to make it completely different from the other ones. Phantasms should have a toggle-able race-exclusive ability to "go into a ghost form". In a more descriptive sense: it should be like gamemode 3 (spectator form), however, this form can only be used 10 seconds at a time, with a 1 minute cooldown. Upon entering ghost form, the Phantasm-race user can move through blocks and fly, but cannot attack nor be attacked. The user is invisible, but is replaced by a single flame that spawns at his/her location whenever they move, and also with some smoke trailing effects. To keep this ability from being too strong, the user can only move within a 20 block radius from the casting location or else they will be pulled back into their physical manifestation forms.
As for stats, they're going to have to be worked out with Aerys since everything here probably won't be final.
