A Soul is the incorporeal and immortal essence of something, animate or inanimate. It is made of mana, a supernatural force believed to occupy all aspects of the universe.
In a person, a soul is a manifestation of their personality, psyche and abilities. People with special types of soul, thought to have been "blessed by God", can convert their mana into a tangible energy.
Form[]
A soul appears as a small ball of light. Different people's souls are different colours, and a soul is distinguishable by its colour.[1] A soul is also distinguishable by its number. [2]
Types of Souls[]
Pure[]
In the 07-Ghost universe, someone who possesses a pure soul is considered to be good. Pure souls are rare and widely sought after by beings of darkness as they are more "delicious" than tainted souls.[3] Pure souls are capable of many things: such as being able to comfort people with their presence;[4] eradicate darkness from the souls of those around them;[5] and recognize when something has been infected with negative feelings.[6] Pure souls are also more sensitive to darkness than other people.[7]
A pure soul usually shines with a bright light. The more pure the soul, the brighter it shines.[8]
Tainted[]
Tainted souls are commonly found amongst Warsfeil and Wars; the servants of the shinigami Verloren. A tainted soul has a 'disgusting' taste,[9] and causes nausea to those who devour it that 'even smoking' cannot remove.
Trapped[]
As shown in the case of Lady Marie, some souls may be trapped and prevented from returning to Heaven. However, Verloren's Scythe can set these souls free.
Owners of pure souls[]
Trivia[]
- It's possible for someone to have a pure soul even if they have committed sins in the past, such as murder.[14]
