When everything has crumbled around you.
When nature has drawn its final breath.
When all your loved ones have perished.
When nothing seems to make a difference.
When even the smallest glimmer of hope has been smothered out.
When your world is coming to an end
What would you do if you had a chance to start anew?
Your world has come to a devastating end. Whether it be natural disasters, manufactured plagues, ceaseless conflicts, or whatever else your creative minds can cook up. With no hope, and nothing left to do they close their eyes expecting the cold clutches of death to guide them to whatever awaits after death.
But instead they’re cheated of even death itself, their souls sneakily snatched away and taken to a different world. When they awaken they find themselves in an unfamiliar room, wrapped in warm silky sheet on a luxuriously comfy bed. While odd, your character would have welcomed the change were it not for their horribly disfigured body. As your character tries to make sense of what has happened a strange looking something walks into the room (a human). And subconsciously your character realizes that the man before them is the one responsible for everything.
Your characters soul has been sealed inside a doll. Think of it as a featureless mannequin, which has magically sprouted features based on what you were in your past life. For example if you decide that your character was an anthromorphic wolf, they would probably look like a human with a nice fluffy tail and a pair of canine ears perched on his head. You can also opt to be something more humanoid though, an elf for example would look pretty similar, but would have a hard time (albeit easier than others) adapting to the new body. The carry over however is purely novelty, for example you may have been a fire-breathing dragon in your last life, but the mannequin body isn’t able to replicate your ability…. Yet.
That however isn’t really all that important. Before your character worries about their super-powers they need to get used to their new body. To make matters worse the ‘human’ explains how you’ve been enslaved. For the upcoming months a group of ‘captured souls’ will live in the same manor, and learn how to fit in as human beings. Once their training is complete they’ll be sold off as exotic pets to rich and powerful. Failure however is also an option. And those that are deemed unsuitable for sale will not only be scrapped, but have their souls incinerated, preventing your character from entering the ‘cosmic cycle of rebirth’ or whatever realm is supposed to await your kind in the after-life.
