Background

In the shadows and dark corners of the world, the worshippers of Yurei are gathering force
The many members of this Cult may not even be aware that they are serving the same dark masters, but serve them they do – the Yurei Bargain, which in its various forms allows control over life and death, has proven a temptation to many different people who would otherwise have nothing in common.
In the Cult of Yurei, you may think yourself the master of your own Fate but you are always advancing the unfathomable goals of dark unseen masters. Even a puppet master has someone pulling his strings…

Q. Can Kato use the Capture Soul Ki Feat on himself in the same activation as when he is killed?
A. No. The model to be replaced must be already dead, so there is no opportunity to use the Ki Feat.
