Damaged Soul	comment	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 has gone horribly wrong, causing them to come back wrong. The loved one's body has been restored, and more importantly their soul came back too. The good news is they aren't a Soulless Shell. The bad news is, their soul got damaged on the way back to the body. Perhaps it was the very act of dying, or the process of being resurrected. Maybe it was being forcibly torn out of Heaven, or spending any amount of time at all in Hell. Or perhaps it was just brain damage caused by the body's decomposition. Whatever the reason, the loved one has woken up screaming and insane. This can be subtle or overt: the damage may manifest either as a progressively worsening tic, a mental illness, or perhaps a lack of conscience. Or it could manifest as an unstoppable, screaming berserk fury. Unlike a Soulless Shell, a Damaged Soul is extremely motivated: if they aren't driven to suicide, they are very likely to be pissed off at whoever brought them back from the dead as well as their own unnatural condition. Either way, they'll be out to put an end to them both. Alternately, this might actually be a Soulless Shell whose sociopathic tendencies are due to the conscious mind reacting violently to becoming Soulless. Or maybe Demonic Possession. These unhappy Lazarenes are probably Stepford Smilers or Mad Artists. Compare Resurrection Sickness, where the soul is fine, and side-effects are due to "jet lag". As a Death Trope, all spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware.

For the sake of clarification, it needs to be said that Paula originally debuted in the Golden Age as the villainous Huntress, but was reintroduced in Young All-Stars as the hero Tigress. The plot about Paula coming back wrong was meant to explain her eventual shift into villainy.

While Pujari denied its accusations, it filled him with doubt, and when he arose, he had a wound from a thorn on his hand, which hasn't healed since.

Elvis was turned into a vampire and is explicitly described as having 'come back wrong' due to the combination of drugs and embalming chemicals. However, the outcome isn't nearly as bad as most Damaged Soul resurrections — Bubba isn't much more dangerous than any other vampire, but acts kind of mentally disabled (though reminding him of who he was constitutes a big fat Berserk Button for him).

Damaged Soul / int_3b34143f	comment	In Harry Potter, one of the central rules of magic is you can never truly bring a person back from the dead — there are, however, forms of magic that try to mimic this. Inferi are just reanimated corpses, basically controlled zombies. Horcruxes keep your soul tethered from something other than your body, effectively bringing you back from the dead upon bodily death, although producing a Horcrux horribly mutilates your soul. The Resurrection Stone only produces pale shadows of those who have died, as though there's a veil separating them from life.

Black Alice) by partially resurrecting her mother as a zombie and offering to complete the resurrection if she joined them. This backfires — Black Alice is furious that they desecrated her mother this way and temporarily steals the magic of the Society mages present to complete the resurrection herself. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, her resurrected mother is a listless shadow of her former self who does nothing but make pancakes and say "I love you" to Lori day after day. Her father starts hitting the bottle pretty hard, unable to cope with the double whammy of his daughter's powers and his wife coming back from the dead as a mental zombie.

Damaged Soul / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural: The resurrected girl in "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things" looks just like she used to, but she's gone Ax-Crazy and started murdering the people she blames for her death. Also possibly subverted. In Season 3, it's revealed that Demons are human souls who have been tortured and mutilated from their time in Hell, leaving them nothing but evil, twisted spirits. As of Season 4, both Sam and Dean are heavily implied to be this, both for different reasons. Dean at least has a better explanation, seeing as he was in Hell for a time period roughly equivalent to 40 years. Sam's status is still a bit iffy. Sam as of Season 6, once he gets his soul back. While a safeguard is in place to suppress the symptoms of a damaged soul, there's a possibility it might break down; he's already had one episode involving seizures and being overwhelmed with memories of hell, and when his soul was first returned, Castiel thought he might be comatose. It broke down, with 180 years of being tortured in Hell flooding back (later fixed by Castiel).

Damaged Soul / int_470a1314	comment	Discussed in Resonance Days. Becoming a witch is essentially a hard reset on the soul, so even after dying and going to the afterlife, they have lost all memories of who they were before, only retaining their appearance (plus a few obviously inhuman traits like a tail or a weird hand) and basic knowledge. The witch Charlotte argues that this is for the best, because witches become that way by crossing the Despair Event Horizon, and a lot of magical girls who do remember end up going insane from the trauma. The magical girl Kyoko, on the other hand, killed herself to be Together in Death with the girl she loved, and is rather pissed that said girl now has no idea who she is.

On death, Sylvanas experienced the afterlife for a brief time but was torn from it by Arthas; "the pain [was] so intense it [left] her soul forever torn".

Damaged Soul / int_4c746380	comment	In Inuyasha, once the resurrected Kikyou regains part of her soul, she goes from an Empty Shell to consumed by the rage and bitterness with which she'd died. Her first act is to blast Urasue, who'd resurrected her, into oblivion, and she spends quite a while afterwards trying to kill Inuyasha, Kagome, or both together. While she might have gained balance with her full soul, most of it reverted to her reincarnation, Kagome. Which was why in all her later appearances Kikyou had to take the souls of recently deceased women to survive. Whether she destroyed those souls in the process, or merely borrowed them temporarily before letting them pass on, is never made clear, but aside from the soul-eating bit she eventually focuses her attention on destroying the Big Bad, who should have been the target of her anger in the first place.

When she was granted a robotic body, the only emotional capacity she seemed to have regained was extreme rage, which she vented exactly twice in a pair of rather disturbing episodes.

Damaged Soul / int_5999b1ec	comment	Xanth: Ogre, Ogre has a non-death-related version. Smash and Tandy are both half human and therefore possess souls, but survive without souls, albeit relapsing to their less intelligent monster heritage without one. In the course of the book, souls are divided and shared a number of times. Having a partial Damaged Soul manifests itself in physical weakness and a general sense of injury. However, souls explicitly regenerate over time, as long as you are the original owner. So when Tandy sold half of hers to Mare Imbrium, it started to grow back for Tandy, but Imbri stayed stuck with 50%. When Imbri is temporarily destroyed in a later book, the half-soul reverts to Tandy, leaving her with more than a full soul (an experience she doesn't seem to enjoy). Fortunately, she is able to expel the extra half-soul once more, which resurrects Imbrium. As a curious inversion, in A Swell Foop, the demons E(A/R)th and Fornax are temporarily given souls (demons are normally soulless) and find the experience highly disturbing, especially the feeling of caring and altruism, and are desperate to rid themselves of it. When a formerly soulless creature is given a partial soul, whether that soul permanently attaches to them is variable and what exactly determines the outcome is unclear. There's been at least one example of a demoness gaining a half-soul, but having that soul pass on to her half-human child at birth. Yet with another demoness, her child had a soul of its own at birth and didn't need hers.

Damaged Soul / int_5aa392c7	comment	Ghost Whisperer has the phenomenon of "Step-Ins", ghosts who take over freshly abandoned bodies in a desperate effort to return to life. Unfortunately, the rules of reincarnation state that you can't expect to remember your previous life perfectly, which leaves them with an unfortunate case of double Laser-Guided Amnesia since in addition to their previous life they've also got contend with the life of their body. The Step-In can be very confused, depressed, and possibly violent, depending on why they wanted to stay — not knowing why, for instance, you're stalking someone you can't remember and have no connection with while experiencing intense feelings that you can't explain can be one heck of a Mind Screw. Fortunately, the two Step-Ins we meet eventually get help, and one of them even regains their old memories. One should note that they also make the distinction between a "step-in" and a "walk-in", which is basically the same thing except the inhabiting ghost retains all of their own memories...and the only reason the particular walk-in of the episode of the same name was disoriented was because he needed time to get used to walking because he died of muscular dystrophy 10 years ago.

Not only do they have a Virtue that's been disrupted by the Neverborn taint on their Exaltation, but they also sustain personality alterations. Some consider life more precious now that they know how easily it can be lost; some view it as a lot less important; some go crazy; and some of them — hell, most of them — end up plugged directly into the insane whispers of dead Eldritch Abominations, which can't be good for anyone's mental state. Similarly, Primordials recover automatically from fetich death, but come back fundamentally wrong — Adrian, the River of All Torments, was reborn as an insane Joker/Buddha hybrid known as Adorjan, the Silent Wind, and is one of the few individuals to scare even her fellow Yozis.

Damaged Soul / int_606e56fc	comment	In Geist: The Sin-Eaters, the player characters (the Sin-Eaters) are brought back from the brink of death by geists, mysterious beings of the Underworld. They can come back from the dead again... but each time they do, their hold over their geist decreases, and they can't get the same measure of control they could before. A Sin-Eater who dies and comes back more than five times essentially has no control over his body, when then becomes a meat puppet for his geist... and, as the geist is an inhuman being driven by strange desires, it likely wants to have some fun.

The process of Returning erases their memory (though not their skills, which is a plot point), and they must consume one Breath (part of the human Anatomy of the Soul) per week or die. In Rhythm of War, Zahel theorizes that the Returned are Cognitive Shadows, which are copies of the soul of the original person, and the lack of memories is an intentional limitation so that they don't linger long enough to end up going mad like the Fused or Heralds (see below).

It trails behind him as a glowing afterimage when he walks. The Fused are a variant of this. Each Fused is an immortal soul which is allowed by Odium to be take over the body of a willing Parshman to continue prosecuting their Forever War for control over the planet Roshar. But seven thousand years of fighting, dying, and being reborn has damaged many of the Fused and driven them insane. The Heralds are also suffering from the same issue as the Fused. They have been alive for so long, and have died and been reborn so many times, that their souls have been warped and each of them is going mad from their extended existence.

Heroes of Horror features an optional table on which to roll in order to give PC death a slightly scarier aspect. The side effects range from a smell of grave dirt to extreme recklessness to gaining a random amount of taint (which is basically The Virus, since if you accumulate too much taint you turn into a psychopath or a monster). The book even invokes the trope, specifically calling this phenomenon "Coming Back Wrong".

Physically, Skarbrand is permanently flightless and is missing two of his horns. Metaphysically, the damage done to his soul has left him incapable of feeling any emotion other than Unstoppable Rage, which is so potent that, along with his terrifyingly high combat stats, all Order factions and even most daemons give him a wide berth.

Damaged Soul / int_88383ee7	comment	Fullmetal Alchemist (2003): Something akin to this is what happens when you use alchemy to revive the dead. The homunculi start out as barely living, messed up beyond belief piles of organs, but eventually evolve into The Soulless who for all intents look completely human. All of them are inhuman sociopaths mentally, however, and have no memories or other connection to their previous lives apart from looking exactly like the deceased. What the Big Bad Dante and Hohenheim do to extend their lifespans does this as well. When they transfer their souls to a new body, they aren't complete and as a result their bodies begin to decay faster since their souls aren't enough to maintain their new body. The more they do this the more of their soul is left behind and they're slowing draining the time they can live in their new body. Since Hohenheim doesn't do it as often his body holds up for a lot longer than Dante's. Towards the end of the 2003 anime, Dante's new body begins decaying after only a few months.

Adopting the name "Lady Stoneheart", she pretty much only cares about revenge and wiping out her enemies. And anyone vaguely associated (past or present) with her enemies. And anyone she just doesn't like. Things have changed since she was a reasonable Team Mom. Lord Beric Dondarrion was a fairly mild Damaged Soul who seems fine at first glance, but whose personality has changed, (going from a cheerful, outgoing young man to a grim Death Seeker) and who mentions that he finds a lot of his memories are fading as a result of his repeated resurrections. This is notable because he was brought back using the same method as Lady Stark, however he was brought back immediately upon dying instead of being dead for several days and he had the advantage of not having been driven insane with grief before death. It's hinted that these are the reasons for him suffering far less damage.

They can come back from the dead again... but each time they do, their hold over their geist decreases, and they can't get the same measure of control they could before. A Sin-Eater who dies and comes back more than five times essentially has no control over his body, when then becomes a meat puppet for his geist... and, as the geist is an inhuman being driven by strange desires, it likely wants to have some fun. In Hunter: The Vigil, the conspiracy known as the Malleus Maleficarum (run by the Vatican) has obtained the power of the Benediction. It's a collection of powers that, supposedly, are granted by God. One such power is the Gift of Lazarus, the only power in any of the New World of Darkness lines that explicitly raises the dead. The only issue is that the resurrected person comes back with a major Derangement (think schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, etc.), so don't go thinking you can just die whenever you want. Vampire: The Requiem: One possible explanation for why vampires are the way they are: emotionally stunted, constantly fighting uncontrollable destructive urges, not to mention vulnerable to having their souls sucked out and eaten by other vampires. Then there are the implications of how magic that can affect souls doesn't work on vampires. If possible, it gets worse for the Hollow Mekhet: unlike other vampires, they actually spend some time in the grave before rising, which makes the part of their soul that represents self-knowledge split off into a spirit that usually wants to make the vampire miserable. One vampire in the Mekhet sourcebook says it best: Mage: The Awakening features plenty of threats to a soul: Tremere liches and some particularly nasty Shadow spirits can extract and consume souls, which erodes the victim's willpower and Karma Meter; fortunately the soul can heal over time if it's recovered and put back in the body. The Tremere liches themselves suffer from damaged souls and will suffer the same penalties if they don't consume other people's to replenish themselves. Some mages are stupid or desperate enough to let Abyssal entities ride their souls in exchange for power; doing this too often wears the soul out to the point that it erodes their magical power. In a less extreme case, there is a spell that partially dislodges the soul from the body, leading to many of the typical symptoms of a Damaged Soul. Fortunately, simple human contact and recreational activity can help settle it back in again, although victims left to their own devices are just as likely to wander into traffic. This is the basic premise behind Deviant: The Renegades; the Remade were normal people who were experimented on until their very souls broke from the trauma. As a result, they don't even have Virtues or Vices anymore; they can only define themselves by external things, like a cause, a loved one, or getting back at the bastards who did this to them.

This results in a Garmadon devoid of most if not all his good qualities who doesn't hesitate to try and kill Lloyd to become stronger and take over Ninjago and despite their loyalty has no compulsions with threatening the Sons of Garmadon with death for their failures, despite Seasons 9-15 eventually showing he still had some good left and he began to work on it after seeing the errors of his ways so he could make amends to the people he hurt, the "Garmadon" comics do acknowledge his soul was damaged in the process of returning back to life and it's why he has a hard time trying to be good or not being an unlikeable jerk.

Damaged Soul / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: The Necrons, a faction of undead robots, have nigh-indestructible metal bodies that can eventually regenerate/be repaired from just about any harm... but the process damages the Necron "soul" within. The Necron Lords who avoid death are in fairly good (if ghastly) condition, but those who have been smashed up a few times become increasingly unhinged and suffer from delusions of grandeur. Meanwhile, the average Necron Warrior has been regenerated so often it's landed in the Soulless Shell category, a mindless automaton. Mad Dok Grotsnik. In this case, the problem wasn't so much "spiritual disruption" as it was "brain damage from the circular saw cutting his head open; gretchin vomit; several deaths on the operating table cured by enthusiastic misuse of a cattle prod; and a spider taking up residence in his skull". On the other hand, he was a member of a race who are best described as a Culture Chop Suey of Horny Vikings and Milwall fans who dabbled in Mad Science on top, so it's not like he was terribly sane beforehand.

Damaged Soul / int_c686bb8	comment	This is a key plot point in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. The emperor of Grado died and was resurrected by his son, Lyon. The Demon King restored his body and used it as a puppet to wage a massive war. Plus, Lyon had to tamper with a Sealed Evil in a Can to do it, which allowed the Demon King to drive him insane and possess him. Of note is that that the same method produces "Orson's wife", an example of an Empty Shell.

Damaged Soul / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Vampirism can act like this on the few occasions when it's used in an attempt to save someone who is terminally ill. In reality, a vampire doesn't have a soul at all (unless magic is used to restore the soul), but the effect is something similar; the average newly-turned vampire is something akin to a sociopathic version of the human it was turned from. When the human was already a sociopath, the vampire will tend to be even worse. The idea that Buffy was affected by her own resurrection is toyed with. She faces pretty severe issues as a result of being pulled out of heaven (one of those is a self-admitted inability to feel anything) and Spike's chip no longer recognises her as human (Spike even taunts her with the exact trope name). However, it turns out that she's just experienced a cellular sunburn that confuses the chip. Her actions after being pulled out of Heaven can't be blamed on non-Buffyness. This doesn't make her feel better. This is also played with in season 5, following Joyce's death; it's implied that she would've returned as something quite different after Dawn's resurrection spell succeeded, but the spell is undone before Joyce makes it home.

Damaged Soul / int_e2bb8bee	comment	The Cosmere: The Returned of Warbreaker could certainly count as this. The process of Returning erases their memory (though not their skills, which is a plot point), and they must consume one Breath (part of the human Anatomy of the Soul) per week or die. In Rhythm of War, Zahel theorizes that the Returned are Cognitive Shadows, which are copies of the soul of the original person, and the lack of memories is an intentional limitation so that they don't linger long enough to end up going mad like the Fused or Heralds (see below). The Stormlight Archive: Szeth spends too much time dead before his resurrection, so the process doesn't properly reattach his soul to his body. It trails behind him as a glowing afterimage when he walks. The Fused are a variant of this. Each Fused is an immortal soul which is allowed by Odium to be take over the body of a willing Parshman to continue prosecuting their Forever War for control over the planet Roshar. But seven thousand years of fighting, dying, and being reborn has damaged many of the Fused and driven them insane. The Heralds are also suffering from the same issue as the Fused. They have been alive for so long, and have died and been reborn so many times, that their souls have been warped and each of them is going mad from their extended existence.

Damaged Soul / int_ebffc81f	comment	Mage: The Awakening features plenty of threats to a soul: Tremere liches and some particularly nasty Shadow spirits can extract and consume souls, which erodes the victim's willpower and Karma Meter; fortunately the soul can heal over time if it's recovered and put back in the body. The Tremere liches themselves suffer from damaged souls and will suffer the same penalties if they don't consume other people's to replenish themselves. Some mages are stupid or desperate enough to let Abyssal entities ride their souls in exchange for power; doing this too often wears the soul out to the point that it erodes their magical power. In a less extreme case, there is a spell that partially dislodges the soul from the body, leading to many of the typical symptoms of a Damaged Soul. Fortunately, simple human contact and recreational activity can help settle it back in again, although victims left to their own devices are just as likely to wander into traffic.

Damaged Soul / int_ef076a36	comment	Star Trek: Voyager: Neelix is resurrected with Seven's nanites in "Mortal Coil" (to the dismay of many fans). He's extremely depressed through the whole episode, contemplating suicide, because he didn't see the Talaxian afterlife while dead. If he had, chances are he would've been even more depressed for being ripped from it. The original script was much, much darker; Ensign Wildman would die and then be brought back, but in the spirit of this trope, not brought back right — becoming what the scriptwriters termed "zombie mom". Connected more with death than life, she would find it hard to re-integrate with the crew, and struggling with her new identity would decide to kill her own daughter to bring her back the same way, so she would have someone who could relate to her. The writers were initially thrilled with the prospect of a dark, macabre and humbling episode — but upon reading their own script realised they could not film it; it was far too dark and entered territory nobody was comfortable with. The final product was arguably close to the latter point. In "Ashes to Ashes", Lyndsay Ballard dies and is brought back to life as a member of another species that procreates by reanimating the dead and transforming it into their species. Unfortunately, Lyndsay finds it hard to let go of the life that she lived as a human on Voyager and later finds it difficult to regain that past life as her new life continues to assert itself.

Damaged Soul / int_f0450590	comment	The Memory Wars: This can happen, and is one of the primary motivators for people to avoid violent or painful deaths. When someone dies, the circumstances of their death can leave a mark on their soul, like a scar, and this can lead them to have unresolved issues and emotional problems in their next life. In Silent Oath, it's revealed that Nathan made a deal with Morrigan, and wound up ritually killing Athamar in a previous life to try and stop him remembering his previous incarnations ever again. He let Elena kill him to get out of his side of the bargain, robbing her of a human host. This left Nathan and Elena so damaged that they weren't reborn for over a hundred years, and when they were, they were born on opposites of the world. The memory of the event drives a wedge between the two, just when they were about to get back together. As revenge for Nathan betraying her, Morrigan found Athamar and released all of his past-life memories, driving him insane and ensuring he would want nothing but to make Nathan and Elena suffer.
