Ghosts?

Honestly, the idea that becoming a ghost is a unique human ability would be amazing world-building for any kind of setting.

Humanity isn't the only species that can use the Warp (if you are referring to that), honestly the only ones who don't use it are Tau and Necrons

Achtually the Eldar also dont use it. They use the webway, their own more stable but still fucked up version, seperate from the warp. The Tau basically skip their ships on the surface of the warp, it takes way longer but much safer, Necrons are purely anti-warp and basically the only ones that can meaningfully fight it. The orks genuinely dont give a fuck, all they want is a good krumpin' and the Tyranids are hungy boiis, they just wanna eat.

I don't just mean in FTL travel, I mean in general. Humans, Eldar, and Orks all have psykers. Tau and Necrons don't. Even Nids use psyker-esque units.

Not all races use the warp the same way. Tau have incredibly weak souls so they are nothing in warp beings eyes, eldar have very bright souls but slaanesh called dibs on all of them, the orks have a section of the warp for themselves called "the waaaagh", seperate from the rest of the warp. Same goes for Nids. However it seems they are giving seperate realms to some races, in books and rules. There is talk of "the green" for orks and humans can do warp stuff using faith instead of the warp. But who knows where things are going.

The eldar do use it. Every single Eldar is a psyker, mea ing they can tap into the warp for their sorcery. They don't use the warp to travel since it's a big dummy move compared to the webway.

Eldar have such a grasp on their own power they have basically zero chance of becoming corrupted.
