Danny Runner
Our protagonist!
A human boy, with a nodal ghost possessing him and mimicking his human part, so it looks like there's a Danny living inside Danny (or better, inside his shadow). It also looks like Danny has ghost powers now! It's a bit more complicated than this but, eh, nice to know that you have some kind of super-powers now.
At least, Danny's powers will help him survive... for example, by stealing the insulin he needs. He's just a kid and he has to run... he definitely doesn't have time to work to afford insulin, and being diabetic his human side would die, making him go from specter to, yep, a full spirit. And that's not what Danny wants!
Speaking about running, that's all our boy is about: the Monarch, Vladislav Korolkrovi, wants him dead, and when a king wants you dead, you don't fight, you don't pray, you RUN. Even his last name is Runner, isn't this his destiny?

Warning! In his description there will be spoilers :D
- Brave and kind.
- Good at dodging and running, which is the only reason he's alive at all right now.
- Wanted to become the mentee of the Blood Monarch, since he looked up to him, to the only other specter he ever met. He got a Blood Hunt issued against him instead, and now every spiritual creature of the Out Of Place is chasing him to get his life.
- His animal companion is an Hellish centipede.
- Danny's powers are tied to death. Danny can inadvertently cause necrosis or, in less severe cases, chlorosis due to the high concentration of ozone present in the body of his "ghost" and in his aura. The molecule acts indirectly on chlorophyll because it destroys chloroplasts.
- Despite being best boi, a life of running and stealthing his way out of the worst situation makes so that he's incredibly light on his feet. When he's an adult, most people find this death-powered guy sneaking around to be quite unnerving and uncanny.
- The most non-bitter person you'll ever meet, holding a grudge goes against his nature. He has a blind spot for the inner ugliness in people, even though he rationally becomes better and better, especially after training with "Mentor", at recognizing red flags.
- Even before the whole Blood Hunt ordeal started, he had to face abusive parents. That's where he learned how to be sneaky.
