Universal Spirit Traveler

Universal Spirit Travelers are a class of rare individuals that are able to extend their minds to other worlds in the Afar Universe.

Background
A Universal Spirit Traveler are beings that are found throughout the universe that have the ability to visit other distant worlds through astral projection and possession of other beings. Universal Spirit Travelers can be found amongst many races in the Afar Universe.

New Universal Spirit Travelers or Manifests, emerge spontaneously. Usually when a being manifests their abilities, they go through stages of advancement. There are between four and six stages depending on the species.

Dream Stage
The first stage of a newborn Universal Spirit Traveler. Manifests experience vivid dreams as other beings. These dreams are actually the Manifests possessing other sentient beings whilst they are sleeping. The subjects that experience these possession are in fact potential Universal Spirit Travelers who's abilities will later emerge in time. The Dream Stage is most disorienting as the user has no control over who he or she may possess.

Soul Displacement Stage
A stage in which another astral projector inhabits the user's body and their soul ends up hovering nearby. Or an experience of a memory download, which is quite stressful.

Later stages are not stated in the Afar graphic novel, but its suggested that the Manifests will gain the ability to not only project their astral forms across space, but actually physically interact with a distant world.
