| abstract | - The great love of the hero's life has died, and the hero simply cannot take the grief. Desperate to have his significant other returned to him, the character delves into things better left unlearned and discovers a way to bring the loved one back. Unfortunately, something goes horribly awry, causing her to come back wrong. The loved one's body is restored. She looks like herself. She breathes and moves. But there's nothing inside. She is just a puppet. Her eyes are frighteningly empty. Whatever magic or technology used to bring her back couldn't quite finish the job and couldn't restore the essence of what she was to the body. She is no longer the woman the hero loved. Now, she is just a thing masquerading as a human being. She's not likely to hurt anyone directly, but the hero is probably going to have a serious-- and quite possibly suicidal-- breakdown. Many clones are depicted like this, empty without the original soul, because Science Is Bad and can't truly Create Life." These resurrectees are likely to become an Emotionless Girl, Extreme Doormat, or an extremely unmotivated Stoic or everything may go well (If they don't get possessed by something, that is). If they are tossed away, very likely they will become independent personalities and seek revenge on their creator/humanity. There's also P-Zombies. If it talks like a person and it acts like a person, that doesn't necessarily mean it's a person... Contrast Empty Shell and The Soulless.
