    My theory is that once a human dies there's nothing, the soul enters an inert state in a void of which there is nothing, nothing to feel, hear, see, or interact with.
    When a human soul is disturbed that spark of disturbance can be enough to cause them to regain consciousness and become aware of the void their soul is in, at that moment they are in a void with only their own thoughts and nothing else.
    The soul then claws it's way back to the realm of the living, refusing to return to the nothingness waiting for it.

    My theory of why the undead humans are always so vengeful is because they feel their death has been violated. I talked with an old human of this subject and he told me of how death is not the end but a transition for human souls, some wish for peace, others for eternal war and others for knowledge. When a human dies they expect their body to be…respected when they expire. Be it a memorial fire or a sacred burying.

    Skelly Boi three days after resurrection: “Oh I would walk five hundred miles, oh i would walk five hundred more just to be the man who walked…
    Necromancer: “Please, Stop. I beg you!”
    Skelly Boi: “Having free will or singing?”
    Necromancer: “BOTH!!!”
    Skelly Boi: “hmmm… Nope(somehow pops the ‘P’ despite having no lips)! Du da du da, Du da, du da. Du da, du da. Du da du, du da du, du da du, du da du, du da!” Continues walking and sings even louder in a more cheerier tone out of spite.
    Necromancer having a stroke: *Unintelligible grappling, gasping and groaning noises*

    Little does the rest of the world know, the server updated and introduced a brand new human lich class.
    New players can only spawn when human N/PC reaches 0 hp & is interacted with by non-gravekeeper subclasses.
    The poor necromancer ended up spawning a high ranking member of Spiff Co. or maybe even the Spiffiest Boi himself.
    Hard to tell since the devs quarantined him by having the NPCs drop a mountain on him.
