The Soulless

The Soulless are a group of people who have pledged their bodies to Zaros. They have no soul, or will, or conscious decision; they gave all these things to Bandos in a satanic ritual. They now live only to serve their Empty Lord, who calls them his "Empty Servants" because they're just as hollow as he is.

Physiology
In the ritual, Zaros' evil layers of cloth consume the bodies, and possess them. All of the victim's (willing or not) soul is removed, giving them they're name-The Soulless. They look like humans, draped in blue cloth with a slit at the mouth (where a fresh victim's soul is drawn in and given to Bandos). They also have skeletal blue hands, which they use to claw at their opponents.

Abilities
In their unholy form, The Soulless cannot be killed by blade or bow alone. They must be faced with light or fire, which can be fatal in large amounts and will at least ward them off. This weakness to light makes them largely nocturnal hunters, and allows many people a easy way to boost their chances against The Soulless by simply making a fire. They have a form of magic that uses no runes, and obeys no obvious rules. They use shadows, Dark Magyk, black lightning, black flame and a mysterious purple light that burns the skin. They have no legs, and no need for them: They can glide, and even fly. Water seems to make no difference to them, as they "fly" through that as well. They can also become incorporeal at will.

Future
The Soulless will be featured heavily in the ninth chapter of As The Sun Sets.
