Spirits

All Pixel Spirits are intangible, but can physically interact with anything if they want to.

All Pixel Spirits have an internal space, usually referred to as their Soulspace, that can be entered at any time by other characters by going “through” the Spirit’s physical form. Soulspace is usually tailored to the character the Spirit has or had Soulbond with and has no physical limitations. Usually, crossing the edge of a Soulspace causes the one who crossed it to leave the Spirit’s physical form, but there are a few exceptions (however, the only one currently known is Singularity Spirits which will include that in their entry) that cause this not to be the case.

Pixel Spirits can exist on their own and usually take the form of a ball of what looks like colored smoke unless they are manifested from non-Pixel characters or have realized their true form through the Realm of Souls. If a Spirit wishes to exit a character’s body, a voice is heard from nowhere in particular directing them on how to release a Spirit. That character is then able to release Spirits as well as accept other Spirits into their own body (usually only used by Spiritkeepers but can be used by anyone who knows how)

Pixel Spirits can be held by anyone who knows about their existence and can be released by placing both hands on their chest, focusing the mind to recall the Spirit from the depths of themselves (sometimes referred to as the sea of one’s soul because of SMT Persona) which causes the Spirit to drift up to their hands and project a gentle glow. That Spirit can then be released by lifting their hands away from the glowing spot with the intent to release the Spirit.

Pixel Spirits can be accepted into a character’s body by holding it in their hands and focusing the mind to open a space to allow the Spirit to enter their body, then putting both hands against their chest causing the Spirit’s glow to slowly dim as they enter.

Soulspirits aren’t really a thing, and are instead the character’s Spirit becoming the body’s new soul, usually while their soul is held within the Spirit’s Soulspace.
