Demi-spiritual life-forms 「半精神生命体, han-seishin seimei-tai, lit. "half-mental organisms"」 are a type of life-form that can be called an inferior version of a spiritual life-form.
Properties[]
Demi-spiritual life-forms are beings that exist in a framework beyond that of any material life-form and aren't bound to a material body if they even possess one.[1] They can broadly be split into two categories: those who have become enlightened among demi-material life-forms and those that are naturally born with this status, typically within spiritual worlds.
Being unbound to flesh and not requiring a material body to function naturally means that demi-spiritual life-forms have their memory storage and thoughts located within their spiritual body or even deeper within. For those that possess a material body, it becomes almost unbound by a life span, having its physical structure reconstructed over time to surpass the limits of organic life. Even if their brains are destroyed, they can regenerate it without any issues.
Though demi-spiritual life-forms are extremely close to spiritual life-forms in nature they remain inferior in one key aspect, their mortality. If the spiritual body of a demi-spiritual life-form is destroyed, then they die for good, having been unable to escape the constraints of their body and cheat death.[2]
