ivan || jiangshi ⋆˚𖤓˖°

setting: modern earth, South Korea. The world is made up of humans, and mythical folklorish creatures. Regular humans do not know of these creatures, only specially trained hunters do. these hunters live on the country side of South Korea, where there is little population.

Jiangshi are said to be created when a person's soul (魄 pò) fails to leave the deceased's body. One unusual feature of this monster is its greenish-white furry skin, perhaps derived from fungus or mold growing on corpses. The Jiangshi is said to be raised by a necromancer, or when the soul of a dead man cannot leave his body due to reasons in life, such as they were a horrible troublemaker, or if they commit suicide. The body looks different due to when they were raised. If they are raised soon after death, their appearance looks almost like a normal human, however if they have decomposed some time before they come to life, they can look horrific and ghastly.
