The Undertaker, however, discovered that by attaching an endless continuation to the Cinematic Record, the body is tricked into thinking itself to be still alive, thus becoming animated again. For a human not under Faustian Contract to truly die, a Shinigami must collect their soul and cut their Cinematic Record. Black Butler: The Bizarre Dolls from the Ship Voyage Arc.Soul Jar: Someone may appear to lack a soul, but it's because their soul is stored somewhere else.May overlap with Satanic Archetype, an evil character based on Satan. In short, this can be summed up as The Sociopath + Empty Shell. With any luck, they'll try to get their soul back using mostly moral means. What they do feel is a keen emptiness that gnaws on their conscious mind like an ever-growing black hole slowly syphoning a star's outer layers. Their love interest leaves them because they aren't treated the same (and their kisses no longer bring joy), they don't feel happy at a friend's birthday, or sad at their father's funeral. If the world is lucky, its absence will be felt before long. Like an appendix, it was just a useless organ weighing them down. For some people, the loss of a soul enables them to freely jump headfirst down the slip and slide of The Dark Side, or simply smile and carry on as if nothing happened. Things can always go From Bad to Worse, of course. If they do get it back, expect a reaction along the lines of " My God, What Have I Done?" as the backlogged guilt catches up with them. Even if both of these traits are independent of the soul and don't suffer in its absence, most Soulless characters have a change in worldview that does erode their good nature. While a soulless character doesn't necessarily become a soulless killing machine, sanity and morality don't fare very well without one. A Nice Guy will break fingers, The Cutie will just break, and even the Friend to All Living Things will rampage through a petting zoo if it brings them closer to their goal. Much like the ' Damaged Soul' variety of Came Back Wrong, problems arise because the character is no longer bound by ethical (and sometimes natural) laws and demonstrates a disturbing Lack of Empathy (and sometimes a lack of survival instincts).
Any old soul will do, but frequently they want their own soul back for sentimental reasons. The Soulless are often motivated by one thing only: getting a soul. The Soulless, however, are active, rational, and still recognizably human in almost every sense - they just lack a soul. When a character loses their soul, they normally become a listless Empty Shell, transform into The Heartless or simply die. In fiction, some characters really are soulless, and often act like monsters because of it. note Well, a literal as opposed to a figurative one, anyway. When people use the phrase "soulless monster", they usually mean the person they're referring to isn't acting like a (decent) human being, not that they actually lack a soul and are a monster.
