@Yuomi:
I think it could be cool if their appearance fluctuates. Like, most of the time they appear as their "body image" (their mental model of what they look like, kinda like Neo in The Matrix had hair and a normal-looking body when he was in the Matrix or the ship's Matrix simulator, even though his head was shaved and his body had the interface jacks "in reality") but sometimes they (or people they appear to!) can see them as their body appeared in death. So, Riane would usually appear as in her picture, but maybe if she sees herself in a mirror, she sees her mangled body, or perhaps if she appears to her loved ones or the bullies from school they'll see her in busted-up mode. The characters who cut their throats or wrists can appear with gaping wounds, etc. Perhaps some "intermediate" stages as well; deathly pale and creepy in various ways.

OK. Will go finish my post now. :)
@Ay-Ex:
I think it would be cool if they could, but not easily, especially at first. Maybe they could appear in people's dreams, or follow them around trying to talk to them, and their loved one could say something like, "It's almost like s/he's here..." (feel their presence, but not hear them). Over time, they could learn to move things, maybe write notes. There could also be the occasional "sensitive" person ("I see dead people...") or medium. If anyone's relatives (or bullies?) are into the occult, they could do something like hold a seance or use a Ouija board, which would (if successful) summon the ghost...
