Life Cycle of Sentients

For the intelligent lifeforms of this realm, they start their journey in the land of the living via the reproduction of their parents. This phase of their life includes their growth from eggs to adults of their species. During which they go through experiences that shape them and create memories and bonds that mark and essentially power their spirit.

When they pass on their bodies die and only the spirit remains. The spirit is the life's core and it draws on the will and memory that they possess and those that remember them to retain their form. In this afterlife they will wander and interact with other spirits much like a second life but with slightly different rules.
Here in the realm of the spirits rely on the memory of the living to stave off the fading of their own memory. For over time their memories fade and their sense of self blinks out. This causes them to become a whisp. One also must choose wisely whom to trust for spirits can attack, damage, and occasionally destroy a spirit. Suffering too much damage will result in becoming a whisp even if one is still well remembered in life.
Whisps are basically the faint remainder of what remains of the condensed essence of what the life once was. While having little drive and mostly just wander aimlessly, these remains of spirits still act as host to the shred of what once created them.

If a whisp is lucky enough to be in proximity to the creation of new life, they can and almost instinctively latch onto it. The child born with a whisp's influence will be instilled with that mote of essence of who they once were. This will often show in their physical appearance greatly resembling their past self. As well the potential for personality and even physical traits appearing. Those that are reborn are also much more likely to retain or manifest abilities.
