Possessed
Being possessed by a spirit inflicts a level of trauma at the end of every week. Once the possessed body suffers its fourth level of trauma, it can no longer sustain its life. The possessing spirit must either bond with the corpse (becoming a vampire) or abandon it and seek out a new host. [1]: 14
When a possessing spirit bonds with a living body, it becomes a vampire. This can happen if a ghost possesses a victim for too long, thereby destroying its original spirit, or when a hollow is specially prepared for the purpose by ancient ritual. [1]: 211
Possession can range from a silent passenger in your body to complete takeover of your body and senses. In every case, the human mind was not meant to contain multiple spirits. There is always a cost. Some can manage cohabitation for long periods of time, even causing unnatural longevity in the host. Others go instantly mad or lose their identity to their passenger over time.
