Spectra is the collective name used by seven spirits, currently residing in one 'body' - it is actually a very large doll in the shape of a human. When and who made Spectra's body is unknown and might be lost to time, but the general consensus from the residents within is Spectra was originally made for banishment of spirits, in which it was used mainly as a bait to lure spirits that cannot be exorcised the 'normal' way.

The reason why Spectra works is because a magically enhanced rune was embedded inside of her. It acts as a beacon for spirits to come and 'possess' it - and usually the exorcists were already prepared to banish the spirits as soon as it moved into Spectra. It's a last resort weapon, something they do not want to use except in the most emergency situations.

Spectra is not entirely foolproof though, as some had survived the banishment by settling inside Spectra and played dead. For hundreds of years, seven spirits had made their way and got inside Spectra, kept alive by the same rune that drawed them in, and not knowing if there are others inside. And during that course of time, Spectra was used less and less, as magic evolved and spirits are guided gently, instead of banished.

In the 1900s, Spectra was nothing more than a relic, a piece of history from darker times. It travelled around the world as an occult object, and many would comment on how 'alive' it looked, as if there are someone trapped inside. Its owners would always assure their visitors that Spectra is safe, but even they were afraid if it's not as safe as they thought.

Decades passed, and the last of Spectra's owner finally died around 1990, leaving it and the spirits inside in a basement of a very old and spooky house. And around that time, Spectra came to 'life'. As the spirits finally awaken, they found out that they're not as alone as they expected, and for the next years, struggled for power, terrifying the living above and cemented the house's reputation as haunted.

In 2010, a construction worker finally came down and found Spectra. It was Spectra's first human contact after decades, and the spirits inside have calmed down after a huge civil war. Spectra tried to greet the worker but he just ran and left the basement door open, confusing them.

They then tried to find the poor worker but he apparently ran away for his life, and they found themselves in an alien world, much more different than what they have used to. Wandering around the city, they finally made their decision to use whatever powers they have to good use, and possibly, finding out their backstories and why they are here.

Ability
Spectra has seven distinct spirits inside, all with their own personalities and powers. Most of them are magically based, and all of them are female - strangely. It's generally assumed that Spectra has more people inside but they are not awaken yet, though that theory is always rejected by all current members of the 'system'.

Spectra usually uses the they pronouns as all of them are regarded as equals, although they can slip into she pronouns once in a while. Another unique condition is that they usually switch places around roughly 24 hours, or a full day. They all know each other, but they do not refer to each other using their true names. Instead, they use a code name, almost all of them are a shade of color. They are also aware of the actions the current 'driver' is doing and can comment on it, but cannot change it. As a result, it usually gets very buzzy inside Spectra's imaginary head.

Spectra is mostly unaware of normal things we are aware of, such as temperature, taste, smell, and light pressures. Heavy pressures would be registered, as well as dismemberment of one of the doll's limbs. Interestingly, once a limb is removed from Spectra, it will remain dead like a normal doll, and there is no recorded evidence of it magically returning to Spectra's main body.

It is assumed that Spectra's magic rune is their biggest physical weakspot, and destroying it might result in the spirits unleased and Spectra returning into a lifeless, useless doll.
