LingHun

The LingHun are a race of people who, biologically, are ZhongRen, but have been inhabited with and bonded with the spirit of an ancestor. They start their lives like any other ZhongRen, until the day they turn 15, which is when they travel to the mountain to find an ancestor willing to bond with them. From then on, they are full-fledged members of society. Their dual nature gives them access to a whole slew of new abilities which sets them apart from normal ZhongRen.
