Physical Description: Despite being vampires, Nachzehrer have more ghoul-like features which make them look more monstrous and threatening. Thinning hair, sunken skin, wild milky white eyes, and sharp teeth all characterize them. Those who look more human-like can almost persist as normal humanoids in the modern day, appearing as pale and sickly but not totally monstrous.
Associated Class: Nachzehrer do well as Rogues or Minstrels, opting to use their charm to fool opponents into a a false sense of security before striking.
Associated Religions: Nachzehrer worship deities of undeath, owing to their status as undead and disposition towards devouring the flesh of others.
History: Nachzehrer are victims of suicide, animated by spectral forces after having already been cursed to revive upon death. Their revival usually sparks a deep rage within them, having been torn from the afterlife moments after death and back into their old mortal husk in order to live again - this time forever until someone takes it upon themselves to end their suffering again. Nachzehrer are unable to commit suicide again in this state, keeping them from once more ending it all. Because of this, Nachzehrer take to trying to be as violent as possible - not just as an attempt to feed their never ending hunger, but also to coax would-be opponents to kill them. The hunger, however, makes letting themselves die difficult. Some, however, are not inclined to die again and seek to use this second chance as a "blessing" despite being a curse, and looking to right the wrongs in their life after having attempted and completing a suicide, yet still 'living'.
In Morta IV: Modern Nachzehrer are hard to come by with very few knowing of the means to create more, and since Nachzehrer are unable to create more on their own without knowing the curse as well, leading to the Nachzehrer who are still living to seek out a means of either creating more - or putting a stop to the creation of more of their own accursed kind. Either way, their numbers are dwindling as time goes on, and it's only exacerbated by their preexisting desire for death.
