Alright, so, when we get started, are our characters just 'waking up' in their new bodies, where Thanatos will explain what has happened and what the supernatural reborn will be doing, or are they already familiar with the circumstances?

@The Roman07 Okay, so I was very skeptical about letting people choose their new species precisely because the reincarnation ritual used to bring all these characters back is meant to separate them from the dead. So far, Jack just seems like a normal ghoul to me. I feel like he lacks a quality about him that this particular sort of reincarnation called for. The whole process of Thanatos' reincarnation was built on fundamentally enhancing the vessel for your character, and if your vessel's weakness is his gluttony for flesh, then for Thanatos, that particular specimen would have been a failure. He wanted to create something that no one else has made before. In this universe, a soul cannot be reincarnated artificially, and creating immortal vessels to house a soul is paramount to creating a philosopher's stone. I can only approve if you can make this reborn ghoul much more unique than any other ghouls. Also, the soul relic's special function of seeing into the veil is rather ambiguous. Are you saying that your character can see the boundary itself, or can see beyond the boundary? If it's the latter, then there has to be limitations because seeing beyond the boundary means taking a peak at The Origin, which is a feat that requires a great degree of understanding of The Origin as well as fundamental knowledge of how magic works. @McHaggis I really like the character's former life and history. Please remember, though, that his new immortal vessel already possesses supernatural strength, agility, and senses, so consider just how useful his soul relic's basic function is going to be. BUT REALLY THOUGH, I love the character and it's already approved. Just notify me of changes. @Lugubrious I am already working on the first IC post and I can tell you now that the first post starts with the completion of the reincarnation ritual Thanatos uses to bring these characters' souls into their immortal vessel on February 18. Each character will start on February 25th, waking up with all their memories intact from their previous life, including their own death. They have no conscious knowledge of their newfound abilities, and for a lot of these characters, it will simply come with instinct. So for people whose former lives are animals, it will be an entirely interesting experience waking up as a supernatural reborn. FOR EVERYONE ELSE. Please remember that your character already possesses enhanced physical strength, agility, and senses. Their strength and agility are twice that of a healthy adult and their senses are heightened just slightly above their species' maximum potential. They also gain the ability to sense supernatural phenomena if they already haven't. In this lore, an ordinary human can only feel very strong supernatural phenomena, but a reborn can sense if and when a supernatural phenomena is within their immediate surroundings (unless your character has a unique skillset or soul relic ability that allows for even greater awareness).

@Ensonoctis well actually i made my character a bit underpowered on purpose. All these "supernatural" characters can easily become OP so i was trying to avoid that due to most not appreaciating a powerful character and easily turn to dislike them for being too perfect. If you desire something a bit more unique than allow me to go with my original idea of a "Symbiote" character. an entity that is able to posess other beings by taking over their minds and destroying their will. Ive made similar versions of this character in other games and fine tuned it to be quite fun and entertaining while not overly OP. :) -that is if you dont mind having a character that (technically) doesnt have a "physical" body...

@The Roman07 The physical bodies, the vessels, are important to the plot, but if you can incorporate it, I'd like the idea. It's not Jack's underpowered ability that I disapprove of, but his lack of distinction between a ghoul and reborn ghoul. For me, the only thing that would be considered OP in this world is tapping into The Origin in any way. A reborn's vulnerability is their soul, and so Jack could be a super ghoul and try to rip away at a reborn's body but it will simply regenerate back to its original state. Uh, well I really don't want to spoil everything from the beginning, but the IC post should shed more light on what exactly these reborn beings are. As for their purpose... Well, in due time!

@kirah It works! I will have to talk with you more in detail about when she uses her major precog, though. @deadpixel101 Love this character, too! I'll take him.

Here we go. It feels a little bare bones to me, but I'm kinda frazzled at the moment. Current Name: Biggs Thomson Current Gender: Male Current Age: 52 Current Species: Reborn Dwarf Current Appearance: 4'8" and stoutly built per your typical Dwarf. He has black hair cut short and a long flowing beard kept braided. He has rough features and dresses in sturdy clothing with lots of pockets. He always carries his relic in a pocket or in a pouch kept secured on the front of his belt. Personality: Quiet yet friendly. He opens up quickly to those who take the time to get to know him though he rarely volunteers information about his past. Tends to be a bit rough around the edges by being coarse and unafraid to utilize profanity or vulgar phrases, particularly when people make him angry. He's a big fan of sarcasm as a means of defense. Believes in giving everyone a fair chance though his prejudices sometimes get in the way. Unique Skillset(s): Skilled mechanic and smith thanks to his new life. Working knowledge of runes and how they interact with magic. Soul Relic and Ability: A long churchwarden pipe with a brass ring at the base of the stem. The pipe allows Andrew to be ignored by most people when it's lit though the effect only goes so far. Intense direct scrutiny from another Supernatural voids the effect. It's major ability allows Andrew to disappear completely at the expense of part of his soul fueling the effect. Former Name: Andrew McTavish Former Age: 23 Former Gender: Male Former Species: Human Former Appearance: 6'2” with red hair and blue eyes, thin and pale. History: Andrew had always been a blue collar guy growing up. He went to technical school to become an electrician and worked on the side as a mechanic. He never had a whole lot growing up and the trend persisted once he moved out of his parents' place and struck out on his own. He had a bad habit of getting high on and off the job which ultimately led to his death. High voltage does bad things to a body when you forget to check your wiring.

@lugubrious First IC will be up in a few hours. If they're not ready, they can always jump in. @insatiableHey, another suicide character!!!!!! Yes, I really like how in-depth you went on it. I definitely approve! I just have some reservations about your soul relic's functions though. It's not bad, but I'm just curious if he's going to be very reliant on using the special function. If so, it may not bode well, because the soul doesn't regenerate...
