Prompt #1
So Danny’s the Ghost King. High King of the Infinite Realms. (he doesn’t know this yet) Key word here being Infinite. Infinite possibilities. The Realms are mostly comprised of ectoplasm, which takes in emotions and produces “ghosts” but the thing is, there are so many ghosts and other sources of emotion in the Realms (what with it being Infinite and all) that the Realms have developed a sort of semi-consciousness. One that relies on the High Monarch to help hold it together. Becoming the High King... changes a being. The Realms aren’t going to just let their ruler die off, and provide far too much energy for them to ever actually fade. (there’s a reason Pariah Dark had to be locked away instead of something “easier”)
Danny lives his life. (if you want Disasteroid or not is your choice) His rogues get worse. slowly going from just ghosts to gaining living villains as well until eventually, all the ghosts he used to fight gradually stop (did he make friends with them? did they give up? something worse? you decide) and he’s left with only human villains. The living are a lot more violent, instead of fighting because of something to do with their Obsession, they fight and cause mayhem to spread chaos and fear.
One particularly nasty attack ends up with Danny fatally injured in his human form, unable to change back. He dies at the hands of a human villain. Or does he?
Danny Dies staring at the villain but feels a yank on his core just as he closes his eyes. The villain sees Danny close his eyes and is blinded by a blast of ecto-green lightning. when their vision clears Danny is gone, only a softly glowing circular Lichtenberg figure left on the floor in his wake.
Danny Wakes in the throne room of Pariah’s Keep, a place he hadn’t been since just after the old king was locked away again. Before his eyes the room begins to change, going from dark and threatening to something softer, something more Danny (space themed, of course) Once he’s got enough energy to stand, Danny walks over to one of the windows and in his reflection sees the Crown of Fire floating above his head.
Over time, Danny draws away from the living world he was born in, exploring the Realms and the many, many living worlds they link to.
After the first century, Danny gets restless and somehow (probably Clockwork tbh) figures out how to get himself reincarnated into one of the living worlds, locking away his memories and abilities until his death in this new life.
This becomes routine, every few centuries or so, Danny will pick a universe at random and throw his soul into an infant that would otherwise not have survived. gaining a new Living name, and going by Phantom to all but a select few in the Realms
Phantom’s newest name? Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth
Bane snaps his neck. Alfred Pennyworth dies. High King Phantom wakes up.
