Geist: the Sin-Eaters

From Codex of Darkness

In Geist: the Sin-Eaters you play as one who has died and made a deal with an incarnation of death itself to live again.

Origins and Organizations

Depending on edition, the Bound either have Thresholds or Burdens describing the character of their deaths. Archetypes describe what they do with their second life and what greater missions move them.

Sin-Eaters gather unique krewes around them and their ideas, which provide various Krewe Traits to members.

Technicalities

In first edition, the twice-living possess a unique power trait called Psyche, and a Morality trait called Synergy.

In second edition, Synergy blends both roles, and Sin-Eaters also exhibit unique Anchors called their Root and Bloom, and cultivate Touchstones through their personal growth and relationship with their geists.

Abilities

Sin-Eaters can unlock Manifestations or Haunts through the Keys of the Underworld to conjure ghostly phenomena. They can also learn and teach deathly Ceremonies.

Many Sin-Eaters carry Mementos touched by significant deaths.

Advantages

Sin-Eaters have access to several unique Merits beyond mortal scope, as well as specific Locations and Style Merits. They can also access the universally available list of Merits.
