Emotes are spirits which appear as blindingly bright balls of light. They float with a source of propulsion which has not been identified

An emote's primary mission in life is to bind with a human being and feed off the emotional energy exerted by the human. While the feeding process is not harmful to the human, the emotions associated with everyday life are not suitable for a emote's diet. To obtain the proper amount of emotional energy, the emote can manipulate its host in a variety of ways, depending on the particular emotion that it feeds on.
