Wraith vs. Mummy vs. Human hunters, what can be more exciting..........
Wraith is the ghost template for the White wolf Universe, a wraith is formed, when a person dies a horrible death and has unfulfilled tasks left to perform, not all deceased individuls can become a wraith, only those with tremendous will even after they passed away can become a wraith, as I was writing this review, I tried to google The Wraith game, and another factor in creating a wraith is their anchor to the past life, it can be an object that has tremendous sentimental value or someone that the deceased has an unfinished business with.......this is what is exciting and at the same time frustrating part of the White Wolf mythos, everthing had a story to tell, a part to play......
Mummies are the immortals that underwent ritual preservation in order to further serve their patron God or Goddess.........
Monster Hunters or Hunters in general are the.........well they hunt those that go bump in the night but these hunters have extra special abilities, I do not know if for this particular series they gave some advantages to the Hunters to take on their adversaries
As the story goes, we have a group of Hunters doing what they do best, hunting monsters, this particular group caught the eye of the the series' prime antagonist Maxwell Carpenter, a mafia cleaner who was betrayed by his girlfriend and killed in an agonizing way by his own Mafia Don(Boss???), the betrayal fueled the rage and thoughts of revenge and helped Carpenter to escape from the netherworld(where all would be wraiths come from), in trying to kill one of the Sforza's(the Mafia family he was working for and betrayed him), I think he helped the spirit of a mummy to come and inhabit the body of his botched kill........
