Channeller

Channeller is one of the three designations used for a person with spirit awareness. It is the rarest of the three, and is considered the highest.

A Channeller can see any spirit in their vicinity, whether the spirit wishes to be seen or not, and often can sense their presence even from a distance, particularly if the spirit's emotional levels are high.

Channellers can communicate with spirits, and are known to be able to forge a bond with spirits that allows the Channeller to summon the spirit. The bond is usually created when the Channeller allows the spirit to possess their body, a process known as channeling. While the spirit is channeled, it can communicate directly with the living, even non-sensitive ones. The Channeller gets access to all of the spirit's memories and knowledge, and this information will remain with the Channeller after the possession ends. Generally, channeling will require the consent of both Channeller and spirit, but there have been rare cases of non-consensual channeling with either the spirit forcibly possessing the Channeller, or, even more rare, a Channeller forcibly taking the spirit in. Forced channeling is extremely dangerous for both sides, but it is fair to say that the Channeller, being a living being, has more to lose.

The high sensitivity of Channellers is like an aura, and often draws spirits near them. Like all spirit perception types, Channellers are born with this ability. Unfortunately, spirits are rarely fully conscious of the Channeller age, and are often attracted to the Channellers' aura from their birth. There is not much information about Channellers because they are so rare, and because many of them were institutionalized at an early age.
