Ghosts are a category of undead beings. Merriam-Webster^↗ defines ghost as "the soul of a dead person believed to be an inhabitant of the unseen world or to appear to the living in bodily likeness", if that helps.

Basic Information

Ghosts are the remnants of energy left behind when someone dies. This energy sticks around better the more violent, emotional, or unexpected. This means the living being requires a certain level of consciousness to become a ghost, so theoretically a plant could be a ghost, but it'd be real difficult. Ghosts will appear as their associated color*, most notably with their "blood" becoming that color, even if they had normal red blood when alive.

Because ghosts are essentially made entirely of memory, a ghosts mental state has a huge impact on their physical form. Remembering an injury (or the emotions associate with that injury) will cause it to appear on their body (as a scar, if the memory is faded or properly moved on from, or as an open wound, if the memory is fresh).

The Void

The Void is a space outside of time and space. This is where Azzy was banished when he was killed. He's found methods of dragging other ghosts into the Void with him, and from there can do what he wants with them. The Void seems to allow access to multiple dimensions and points across time.

Types of Ghosts

Keaper

Keapers are a special type of ghost that get physical bodies and can enter the material world at will. The word is a portmanteau of "keep" and "reaper", a name for them coined by Azzy. He seems to be the only one able to make these.

Despite being physical, their bodies still act similarly to how they would as a ghost. They lack organs, instead being made entirely of a substance refered to as 'ectoplasm'. This substance will solidify and shift as needed, even being used to create weapons, but will melt and disappear if not focused on.

Fragment

Fragments are ghosts than have lost significant amounts of their memories, and thus their physicality. Some amount of memory loss is normal for ghosts, but fragments are most caused by outside influence, like Azzy.

Normally, fragments will appear as particularly faded or vague versions of themselves, with limbs or other features missing completely.

Shade

A shade is the ghost created when a chroma dies. Chroma are a race of immortal beings, and it is very difficult to kill them. Because they're not meant to die, their death will always create a ghost and that ghost will be incredibly powerful.
