Since the original wraith game was finished, I decided to create a Roll to dodge multiplayer version.
You are one of several completely normal human mages that just happened to have the dead corpses possessed by Wraiths that they just turned their souls into.  The premise of the game is simple: find souls, eat, find souls, eat, etc.

Example character sheet:

 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name:Bob
Personality Description: A jovial wraith, he loves to party.
Current form description: a fat human male.
Status effects: None
Number of souls:0
Power level:
Inventory:Nothing
Wounds: None
Fate points:0
Powers: Minor Soul drain:
Minor soul drain absorbs part of the soul of something you just killed.  If the target corpse is older than one minute, this spell doesn’t work.  On success, you gain +0.1 souls

When you start out the only thing that you may change from the sheet is the first three things.  If you roll a 1 on a roll you gain a fate point.  Souls Are this games form of xp.
I will post the soul thresh holds for leveling up.  Power levels function as this games levels.  I will post what rewards you get.  There are only 5 slots open currently but I may open more.  If you have any questions please post. 

Death:
When your host body suffers enough damage you enter spirit mode. In it you can is inhabit corpses and interact with spirit constructions.  If you inhabit one and it gets destroyed you can’t inhabit it again.  If you inhabit a rotten corpse it automatically regenerates. 

Permadeath:
Some enemies will have attacks with the exorcist tag.  If you are killed by one of these attacks, your wraith gets destroyed and you move to the back of the waitlist.  Another way to experience functional  permadeath is to be trapped somewhere Like a cosmic prison or a magic gem

Power level thresholds:

1=3 souls

2= 9 souls

3=21 souls

Etc.

When you gain a power level I will give you a memory and some options for advancement.  At power level 3 I will (maybe) start conventional skill trees.

Can we have different powers or just soul drain?

[BlackPaladin99]

Just soul drain for now, and if it’s not clear you can only drain recently dead bodies.  But in the future there will be something like skill trees.

[BlackPaladin99]

How do you edit the title?

Here is a rules expansion.
Death:
When your host body suffers enough damage you enter spirit mode. In it you can is inhabit corpses and interact with spirit constructions.  If you inhabit one and it gets destroyed you can’t inhabit it again.  If you inhabit a rotten corpse it automatically regenerates. 

Permadeath:
Some enemies will have attacks with the exorcist tag.  If you are killed by one of these attacks, your wraith gets destroyed and you move to the back of the waitlist.  Another way to experience functional  permadeath is to be trapped somewhere Like a cosmic prison or a magic gem

Power level thresholds:

1=3 souls

2= 9 souls

3=21 souls

Etc.

When you gain a power level I will give you a memory and some options for advancement.  At power level 3 I will (maybe) start conventional skill trees.

I may edit the rule set in the future.

TURN 0

You all awake In a granite room that is about 10x10x10’.  When you awake you are lying on the floor surrounding a gold brazier.  Instead of fire being inside, there is what looks like a shattered gem.  To the south there is a brass-plated door.  You are all groggy.
