This means that nature of their physical manifestation are not so different with nature of soul of living beings. Perfect example of this was demons in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.Īlthough, beings that can be considered naturally soulless not always have bodies, as some of these are already spiritual beings. These entities sometimes portrayed as either complete monster or hostile beings that made them notorious adversary for heroes, as some of this villain shown with powers to took other being's soul which also enable them to amplify their powers. ![]() Some even shown being act or think like normal entities that possesses soul, which made them difficult to differentiate with those who has soul. Unlike other cases above, the naturally soulless being had no difficulties to live without any souls at all. Rare case of Soulless Beings whom naturally soulless often portrayed as entities that said to lived since ancient times or since the dawn of creations. As explained before, Soulless Shells are came to being due to the partially success of resurrecting attempt on an individual where the said attempt not includes/failed in restoring the soul of the revived one. Villains that became soulless shell, like The Soulless retain their goal despite their twisted nature albeit lack any will to retrieve their lost soul. Now, they are just a thing masquerading as their former selves. They are no longer a character whom both heroes and other villains known. Whatever magic or technology used to bring them back couldn't quite finish the job and couldn't restore the essence of what they was to the body. After revived/brought back to life (either with magic or scientific means), they may looks like their former selves, as well as breathes and moves like they used to be.īut compared with when they still a mortal being, there's nothing inside. ![]() This case is almost similar with above, but the character whom become one of soulless shells usually those whom having their body restored/remain intact after their demise, and lacks any will to regain their lost soul. Birth Without Soul: The individual is revealed/said technically born/created without any soul, which drove him/her to obsessed to getting a soul so they can perfect their own essence.Survive from Soul Reaping Incident: A character somehow survived when their soul taken away by a Collector of Souls or certain Soul Collecting Device which in any case, somehow still alive.After this character make the said deal and gained what they wanted, they ended up behave different because the Devil/Antagonistic Force has taken their soul as the Payment. Consequence of Make A Deal With The Devil/Other Antagonistic Forces: One of the known terrible prices of making the deal with The Devil or other antagonistic (preternatural) forces includes having their soul taken as the payment.With any luck, they will try to get their soul back using mostly moral means.įollowing situations that made a character became Soulless Being includes: What they do feel is a keen emptiness that gnaws on their conscious mind like an ever-growing black hole slowly siphoning a star's outer layers. Their allies eventually leaves them because they are never treated the same, they don't feel happy or sad. If they lucky, its absence will be felt before long. Like an appendix, it was just a useless organ weighing them down. The loss of a soul enables villains to freely jump headfirst down the slip and slide of The Dark Side, or simply smile and carry on as if nothing happened. Even if both of these traits are independent of the soul and do not suffer in its absence, most Soulless characters have a change in worldview that does erode their former nature, if they have one. While a soulless character does never necessarily become a soulless killing machine, sanity and humanity do not fare very well without one. Any old soul will do to restore themselves to their original state, but frequently they want their own soul back for sentimental reasons. Soulless villains are motivated by one thing only: getting a soul, as it this case, it was said they used to have one, but lost it for various reasons which in either way, they somehow survived in spite of their soul has been removed from their body. In fiction, some characters, even villains, really are soulless, and often act like monsters because of it. ![]() When people use the phrase "soulless monster," they usually mean the person they are referring to is not acting like a (decent) human being, not that they actually lack a soul and are a monster*. Lacking any/Loss of Soul (Became Soulless) ![]()
