#ESPECIALLY with necromancy

What if joey cursed herself through her reckless use of enchantment magic and she transformed into a siren haha jk... Unless 👀

#this is actually a similar thing that happened to ram #without supervision its very easy to alter your own soul #especially if your a prodigy at necromancy like ram #rams case is more dire a lich soul is nearly impossible to change unlike most other souls

Mannimarco: Me personally? I die every night and come back wrong every morning but no one notices because I've been doing that for a long time so it's just kinda par for the course.

desire - failure- guilt - hide

I shall join you in the emo band names

desire: What's one thing your OC wants more than anything in the world? Are they open with that desire? Why or why not? What would they do to fulfill it?

Nicolette wants, more than anything, her mother. She's just a young woman not ready to face the world alone, and she wants her mother to guide her. Is she open about it? Well, no, because no one around her cares about her except her ex, and her ex knows what she did already. As for fulfilling it, well, she got what she wanted, but did she really want what she got?

failure: What's your OC's greatest failure? Have they been able to move past it? Does anyone else know about it?

See the above, but at the risk of spoilers, she actually didn't fail her goal so much as fail to comprehend to problems that achieving it would cause. In fact, objectively, she succeeded very well at the thing she tried to do, more than anyone, especially her, realizes for quite a while. But there is a reason it was forbidden...

guilt: What is your OC guilty about? How do they handle their guilt? Do they try to avoid guilt, or do they accept it?

At first, Nicolette feels guilt primarily for her perceived failure, followed by generalized guilt for being alive. As the story unfolds and the enormity of her mistakes become clear to her, the guilt really piles on, for the people she's hurt, for the problems she's caused, and for the selfishness that led her there to begin with.

hide: What does your OC hide? Why do they hide it?

The reanimated corpse of her mother. I think the reasons are obvious.

what if violante talked gale out of the whole ascension to godhood thing. and what if she died at the end of it all. and what if gale, crushed by the insurmountable grief, decided to use the crown. and what if he brought her back from the lands of deads. and what if violante is insanely angered with him for that but also fond of that feeling that brought him to defile the laws of nature. and what if she's forever bound to him now, and she hates him but she loves him and it's going to be eternal

#rena.txt #like it's no necromancy but it is. like it's the higher step. i mean he doesn't want a zombie he wants her back as she was it's not enough #he needs more power and he can't accept that she's leaving him behind. it's like a part of me died with you but we're also alive but we wil #never be the same #like violante has been s*icidal for her whole life i think. especially in the last years. before gettig snatched by mindflayers she was #ready to tear herself apart but death got whisked away from her hands again. and when it actually happens? and finally she can find the #rest she wanted oh so badly it gets taken away from her again for his selfishness. like. the layers bro..perhaps.......... #AND IMAGINE his resentment when he gets called 'selfish'. like. i did all of this for you and you call me selfish? the hatred the betrayal #the horror and the love. and in the end it doesn't matter he thinks. it will pass she will see reason. they have eternity for forgiveness. #idk if i'm making any sense today i have so many thoughts #AND LIKE. it's not real life anyway. she's a walking corpse. smth IS wrong with her. and this second life is nothing but pain. she doesn't #eat bc she doesn't need it and everything tastes rotten anyway and she's cold. perpetually cold and she can feel it and there's not even a #beating heart in her chest..THE HORRORS........... #the god won't let me die / i'm god matching couple shirt they could get....AKFJSLFJSFKSK

Laisren - Necromancy 2

- They're not quite capable of a "perfect" ressurection yet, in cases of severe decay and such. Actually calling the soul to the body and tethering it back down is fine, it's more the "sculpting" that trips them up a bit. Necromancers of extreme skill are able to mold even a decayed, severely damaged, or otherwise heavily disfigured corpse into almost anything they please.

With enough time, effort, and energy, anyway. Sculpting the undead back to the exact appearance they had before death? Easy. Changing things like hair, eye color, etc? Perfectly doable. Adding things like wings, antennae, claws, or even structural changes like adding or decreasing height, widening shoulders, etc? Again, with enough time, effort, and energy...it can be done. Most people would never even be able to tell that the one they're interacting with is undead in the first place.

With a fresher, or more whole corpse, Laisren is capable of doing most of these things...but when the body is more mangled, it's easier to tell that the being that results from the resurrection is undead. Blemishes might be left, or other mild deformities, but they're otherwise fully functional and able to go about their new "lives"

- Unfortunately, because the true Laisren wasn't a necromancer-- or really much of a magic user at all-- it would be weird if all of a sudden he was. Though Laisren (the current one, Oleander) always wanted to learn the way of the blade like their father, that's now essentially the only method of fighting that they can rely on for protection. Their necromancy needs to be kept a secret; only to be used in private, or in times when their life is imminently in danger.

- That being said, Laisren does have a familiar. A decently sized undead lizard that he's named Plinko whom he loves and adores. It looks similar to an alligator lizard, but...probably dang near 4ft long, including the tail. He also has two other undead (people, not animals.) that he can more or less summon at will, if the need arises. Typically they're passed off as servants to one of the Tuatha Dé Danann though, to keep them hidden any other time. One is named Graea, and the other is Cellach!

- Part of what makes it so easy for Laisren to call and bind souls back to a body is the plants that are part of his aspect. Because they're parasitic in more than just a physical manner, they often are able to create fine threads, or links between a body and a soul. This helps him to draw back some souls, but it typically used to help ease the process of actually rebinding them. Or preventing them from breaking apart at all during the rebinding. This results in a (typically) more "perfect" resurrection, in which the being is much the same as they were when they were still alive. Memories, personality, powers, and all.

- Plinko doesn't actually carry any of Laisren's plants in or on them. Rather, they have some of Laisren's bioluminescence-- the other half of their full fae aspect-- which allows it to glow, yes, but also makes it poisonous to the touch. Graea and Cellach, however, both carry some of Laisren's plants within them, and can spread them if given the order to do so.

- Laisren always makes sure to get permission from the prospective undead before resurrecting them. Makes sure to know what he needs them for, if anything, and ensures that they're aware of everything that goes along with the process.

- Those that Laisren bring back can't be killed by normal means-- Laisren can always (rather quickly, might I add) "heal" their wounds if they're gravely injured in a fight, or something like that. The only way to kill them again is to either kill Laisren first, or cut their bond to him.

- In order to keep them from heeding to the ever present pull that death has on the undead, regular "maintenance" is required. Other necromancers or similar beings are incapable of doing this for Laisren-- they can't maintain his undead, and they can't seize control of them from Laisren unless he's killed first, or the bond is completely cut. If they're taken from him and aren't properly maintained, they'll slowly start to succumb to madness, lose their sense of self, have their senses and other bodily functions slowly start deteriorating over time. If left long enough, all that will be left of them would more or less be a mindless husk, incapable of thought or movement.

#[Laisren -headcanons-] #Not being able to use his necromancy much is actually something that makes Laisren really sad #Especially when he can still hear 'the call' if he's around the dead

[tricos-here]

feels like western au yweyn is waiting around the corner to beat me over the head with a hammer <looked at her aetherized revolver skin again

#I'd given it to her like months ago for her harb build just because it wasn't as bulky as other skins #and now there's delayed thoughts manifesting #especially because western + necromancy is so sexy

[doubleedgemode]

It's about time I drop my class ideas for the g.o. AU:

Note. I don't think the class names end in S if you're saying it on a plural way but, whatever:

Iops: Sol, Baiken, Leo, Zako B, Kliff, Slayer and Nagoriyuki (the latter two are iops in a much more vampiric way than usual)

Sadidas: Jam (being surrounded by plants does absolutely NOT help with a flammable restaurant)

Ecaflips: Johnny, Chipp, Zako C

Cras: Bridget

Xelors: Axl, I-No, Bedman and Delilah

Fecas: Potemkin, Answer and Anji

Sacrieurs: A.B.A, Raven

Eniripsas: Faust, Fanny and Leap

Ouginaks: Izuna

Huppermages: Ky, Judgment.. Zappa too perhaps?

Osamodas: May, Giovanna and Testament

EliAtropes: Ramlethal, Happy Chaos

Eliatrope Dragon: Elphelt

A very special eliatrope/dragon: Aria/Justice/Valentine (yes they're the same person in this au. Actually, it's not set in stone but at least Justice would be a super cool dragon for sure)

EliOtropes: Dizzy, Sin

Maskeraider but, not like the canon ones, I think: Jack-O

Minor almost godly spirits which are basically personifications of the Paladir/Necrome thing: Undine and Necro, respectively (come on even his name fits)

Regular unaffiliated humans: Goldlewis, Vernon, Daryl (I might make him a hupper..? but maybe he'd then be too similar to Ky) Crow

Steamer: Haehyun and Zappa (that or a hupper or unaffiliated..)

Steamer adjacent robot or something: Robo-Ky and RK MK II

Sacrimages *: Asuka

Srams: Millia and Venom

Roublards: Zato and Zako A

Shushus: Eddie, Lucifero, Roger, S-KO, Angra, the bad guy that got ahold of Judgment and Paracelsus

Elemental/or some sort of regular dragon: Dr Paradigm (I GUESS)

As for Leopaldon.. I don't know. Maybe the human is an osa, the dog is a milou and the gear is a shushu but.. Dunno. Leopaldon is Leopaldon lmao

Idk for Ariels either.. Maybe a hupper?? Probably I'll go the boring routes or make her (spoiler) canon in this au, as the gg one, or just a high level shushu

Goldlewis' coffin friend: A very minor god who's almost in the verge of disappearing due to people not believing in them. Their only believer? Goldlewis, but he believes they're an unexplained monster (monster as in the kros.moz definition where they just commonly exist) so, they're there but not that powerful..

Janvis or whatever the jellyfish cat is called: Chacha :)

*ofc hybrid classes are a topic of contention but, they are Technically canon yet very rare. Asuka is straight up a Hupper, and probably was one before, but his perspective about pain and his eye thing that remind me of larmes de sang (sacrieur technique) so he became both. Sacrimages is a made-up word, but with Nitura calling hybrid classes a combination of their names (ex: osadida) I thought Sacrimage would fit the bill.

#Long post #U can tell I love iops.. Beloveds #Surprisingly idc as much abt huppers haha #Guilty Omelette #Footnotes: Judgment is a hupper witch like Julith #Idk if RK is a series made robot that gets a conscience OR the especific RK we know is a wak.fu era steamer (aka a person who was turned #Into a robot. Basically). Whatever the case... He's powered by weird looking crystals #Sorry do.fus era steamers. I ignored you. Wait. Maybe I should make zapppa one for variety. Shrug #Yeah I will. #Obvs El can take on a human form but Has a dragon form. She obvs doesn't look 100% human. Think of Phaeris and especially adult Grougal #From the show. Yeah #U notice no enutrofs or pandawas cause. Idk if I'll even include them. Enus are too close to some stereotypes from what I've read. I ignore #Them. Pandawas. Same but maybe not as Bad. But idk abt them #Ik enus not being a thing throws off the wo12 denomination but. Both for GO and my kros.moz things. Maybe Ouginak was in the pantheon from #The get go. He's just reclusive lol. Idk #Oops I got carried away um. #Faust is.. A necrome eniripss probably. Idk if that happens after the strive equiv or he was just like that. We have to let normal enis to #Be weird from the get go cause Equality. Fun fact. The one paladir eni dude reminds me of axl #Umm anji uses shields instead of fans. He probably doesn't use a staff. Answer n Potemkin prob do however. Though they also use shields #Idk if Pott is straight up a necro. Probably not. But the canon necro feca guy w the shield mask?? HIS VIBES.. #Venom prob has a sort of skull design rather than only the eye but like. Idk. #Also u can tell I love shushus lmaoo #Sorry this is rough I'm editing as I write. I'm prob forgetting things #Suggestions for this are accepted #@people who don't know wtf I'm talking abt in regards to this au: Don't worry about it #text tag2b named

i oughta toss my sourdough oneshot up on DM’s Guild

#& maybe the goblin market #but especially bread necromancy #just had one of my players email to ask if i had notes they could borrow & was remembering how much fun that was

[malaismere]

honestly my biggest wish for EXU Calamity is that they aren’t playing 5e but instead an older edition (2e would be fun, but for THAC0 considerations I’ll say 3/3.5). because i live the idea that the world used to just be different, have different rules, long ago - like Halas talking about healing spells being necromancy. according to an older game rules

On the other hand I want/expect it to be lvl20 - or, at least, 15+, and dropping players into a system they don’t know at that high a level...

#critical role #exu calamity #I know that Brennan only switched over to 5e for d20 which is why ep2 of Fantasy High went Like That #so I feel confident that he’d run a fantastic game in older editions #and yeah the cr crew all used to play pathfinder which is built off 3e #but that was years ago so idk if they’d want to jump in at high level #especially because at a high level game you’d want to be messing around with prestige classes a bunch #running 2e and using thaco would be so funny tho. #my actual thought is specifically that 1e is for around the time of the founding / war with elementals #then it’s 2e although somewhere it switches to 3e #because Halas is operating in 2e for necromancy thing to be true but also he jumps ahead in time a lot sooo #and 4e happens during the Calamity bc it’s so designed for tactical combat #with post divergence being 5e

the urge hasnt been a problem recently, maybe it was sated by killing the goblins? one thing im not sure if its a feature or bug is that every time i change my appearance in the magic mirror it makes me retype my name from The Dark Urge. it works as roleplaying that im constantly asserting my identity but its also annoying.

probably wont be editing my character anymore since im not taking the evolved illithid and i just got volos eye. i changed the color to match and you can hardly tell.

also it seems obvious but i realized a motivation for a Good durge would be the cassic rebelling against your father. she doesnt really care about people shes just saying the words paladins say. not sure if thats canon but it makes sense. like she decided sometime in between being betrayed by orin and being sent to the nautiloid that following her destiny didnt do shit for her. all the mercy and kindness is out of spite.

#my durge canonically didnt take any worms until immediately after killing nere #there really outta be a downside but it seems they just go away with everything elses #and the powers are so good. especially flying 😭 gonna miss that #and i wont be able to do the necromancy scene in the shadowlands #last time i went with the absolute caravan but im gonna try and book it to last light first #might not be strong enough to save isobel but i dont have to trigger that scene right away #i know durge has a thing with the fairy and astarian has certain approval with the convoy im tryna avoid #dove plays bg3

#posting this image again because uhhhh hate realizing as i try to write this bit with Ada that like. part of it is i wish my father #had been more normal about this shit. also just like. the parallels and similarities i didn't even intend. they strike again #especially when he realizes why she's afraid. like. dude's about to try necromancy to rekill this girl's mom #been up almost 24 hours so maybe it's too much shutting up now #maggot original
