Dybbuk

From the White Wolf Wiki, the most complete White Wolf reference

Jump to: navigation, search
dybbuk: In kabbalah and European Jewish folklore, is a malicious possessing spirit, believed to be the dislocated soul of a dead person, escaped from Gehenna, a Hebrew term very loosely translated as "hell". The word "dybbuk" is derived from the Hebrew דיבוק, meaning "attachment."

To Wraiths, a Dybbuk is a wraith who was killed during the Holocaust. While nominally Stygian, Dybbuk generally have no truck with the dead of Europe, instead living in their own autonomous Necropoli called the Dark Kingdom of Wire.

While wraiths, the Dybbuk are a seperate culture, driven by the uniquely violent and horrifying circumstances of their deaths and the hellish environments they live in (most of the death camps are home to large nihils, with Auschwitz being a gaping maw of Oblivion). As a result, Dybbuk generally have inordinately high Angst scores and tend to be a bit more fuzzy on the distinction between a wraith and a Spectre.
