That is a very creative interpretation of the possibility.  Dark and 
desperate -- excellent for a low-power, ghost story game.  Better yet 
from the drama point of view, Remnants with Roles "settle in" to the 
Role; the Kyriotate would remember living the cop's life and believe 
itself to be the cop!  Imagine if your ghost came to you right now and 
said that *you weren't you*...

You almost never see Kyriotate Remnants; it will have no Resonance to 
speak of, no Choir Attunement.  It might have Hunt, which would 
manifest perceptually.  So no blatant supernatural abilities, except 
that he ends up not having to eat or sleep if pushed, but he could 
still think he needs it.
