UPDATE: Though Gyxin began life as a Nobody without most memories of the details of his past, he has recently regained his complete memories as Ying thanks to a perception-sharing brain journey with Braeligx. He is not open with this information at this time, though the change it's had on his attitude is obvious.

Speaking of ghosts, Gyxin has three that are tied to him--specifically, they are tied to either him or the lanterns he carries, as they have to be tied to a "host". If a lantern is blown out, the ghost tied to it will possess Gyxin, causing his eyes to glow yellow-green, and he temporarily gains the powers of the individual ghost that has possessed him. Here is a visual reference of the ghosts: Gyxin - Ghost Crew

UPDATE: Gyxin can now hear the voices of the ghosts possessing him in his head in addition to sensing/experiencing their emotions. It's not the most effective method of communication, but it means he knows exactly what they want to say now. (Note, Shen is also capable of sign language, which means he alone can also communicate on his own.)

UPDATE: Gyxin can only reasonably maintain possession for about 10 minutes before the wear on his body is too great--having two people in one body isn't really healthy. Though he can technically keep the ghost inside himself longer, he will rapidly become too exhausted to be useful, and he can cause long-lasting injury by doing so. In fact, being possessed at all can leave him tired, but if done for short periods of time, he can recover more quickly. He can force a ghost to leave at any time by re-lighting the lantern in which they usually reside, so he carries small sticks with him to transfer flames from one lantern to another when needed.

For all practical purposes, he cannot be possessed by more than one ghost. Though it's physically possible, the strain would be enormous. For this reason, his lanterns are closely guarded--should something cause them to be blown out, he could be put in serious danger. Fortunately, his protections are quite good, and this is rarely an issue.

Though he can be separated from his lanterns without issue, he can't use his element if they aren't with him. The only exception to this is if he has been possessed, but without lanterns he can't force the ghost out. Generally he'll only be seen without his lanterns when he's around the Castle or otherwise occupied by something that isn't dangerous and might require some amount of privacy.

UPDATE: Gyxin's ghosts were his somebody's best friends and partners in crime, and it was Gy's somebody, Ying, who killed them. As such, they are decidedly hostile toward Gyxin. They can often be seen floating around him, making angry or obscene gestures at him, and they seem to take pleasure in meddling in his affairs by appearing at inopportune moments. That said, they also seem to find it exhausing to materialize, so they don't generally appear for long periods of time, though there have been some exceptions.

Though he's typically upbeat and friendly, and he generally has a good energy to him, he can often be found looking tired or pale, particularly if he's been training or out doing missions. His element takes a toll on him, and he likes to relax between situations if he can get away with it (though his idea of relaxing is working constantly). That said, he rarely complains vocally about his exhaustion, preferring to complain about the three jerks that follow him around and annoy him.

EDIT: The ghosts have a minor effect on electronics--this is usually not anything that would be useful in a plot setting, but it's definitely good for shenanigans like ruining his neighbors' devices and screwing up his phone and its text messages.

EDIT: Gy knows sign language! Big ups to his best bro Brae. He's not, like, the fastest at it but he's getting pretty decent.
