1 2 3 4 5 | and now a little something concerning death, because there have been a couple of deaths in the kingdom recently. first of all, if you're going to kill another person's character, then do so only after you have their permission, because there are going to be consequences for death. your character cannot simply die and then resurrect as though nothing's happened anymore. if your character dies, then they'll go to the underworld for a short period of time ( usually between 5 - 7 days ) before they find themselves in an open grave in halloween town, complete with a headstone socketed with their communicator. because dying is generally known to be incredibly painful it's going to leave some lingering effects on your character and these will, of course, relate to how they died. for example: if your character's head was bludgeoned, then they may experience a series of really painful migraines. if they drowned at the beach, then they may constantly be short of breath. if they were stabbed in the side, then they may feel a really strong pain at the point of impact. get creative! the effects aren't permanent, by the way, and typically they only last for a couple days, but feel free to make your characters suffer a bit more by having them deal with the effects for a little longer. but the pain is only the icing on the death cake. the cherry, oh!, the cherry is the memory that they must forfeit upon resurrection, because each and every death has an impact on the communicator and its ability to house your character’s memories. as soon as your character dies their communicator shifts into an irreversible safe mode before, finally, deactivating. a grim moogle will then materialize to collect the device, because even the slightest bit of damage dealt to it can affect the memories stored within, but that is the price they must pay to return to life. the memory is at the mundane's discretion and the first death's will, of course, be something minut, like a project they’d been working on or, perhaps, a conversation they’d been having. but with each death that memory must become more and more important to them until it's something close to their heart, like their parent's names, their world, their best friend, their lover, or themselves ( by that i mean their own name ). |
