DEATH
Characters can and likely will die, given the content of the game. Death will last for a week, give or take according to player comfort, wherein a ritual will occur, of casting a stone with your character's name into Saltburnt's lake. After that week, your character will have a Revival, where they crawl out from their grave, not human, and affected by one of the supernatural maladies listed below.
Imagine the Revival as zombie-like in nature. Your character rises, not completely sentient but enslaved to their impulses βΒ in short, a monster as detailed by the supernatural options below. Your character will not be themselves, instead overrun by feral intentions that get worse and worse as time goes on.
Your body tells you the only solution is to have someone find your name stone and recollect it from the lake, whereupon the dead character will revert back mostly to normal, with lingering side effects of their death and transformation. Multiple deaths will result in more side effects, and continuing monstrosities bleeding into their normal life. This entry's intended purpose is assigning lasting effects from your character's death, which will permanently effect them, and get worse with every death. See the example in the comments for reference.
VAMPIRE
you are HUNGRY, there isnβt anything you wonβt stuff in your mouth. there is a gnawing, unquenchable emptiness inside you that you feel compelled to fill however you can. eating, sex, and violence are all vices you indulge in, though it all comes back to one thing β blood. you want it, and you'll do whatever it takes to have it. you grow long fangs and a dislocatable jaw.
WEREWOLF
you are FERAL, overrun and overworked by your own emotions, you run rampaging, not recognizing anyone you cross paths with. you hunger for blood and suffering. you only feel relief when you destroy something, and even then it only lasts as long as it takes to rip the painting, tear the clothes, bleed the person. you grow strong, brutal looking claws.
GHOST
you are an ILLUSIONIST, playfully mischievous in death, keen to humiliate anyone you see. you are invisible or partly visible, and therefore unburdened by consequence. you want to play tricks on everyone you cross paths with, and lacking your own physical body, might possess the body of someone you know in order to be worse damage.
WITCH
you are VENGEFUL, there is a calculated kind of menace to you. you are aware and you are precise, inflicting back the damage you think is deserved. rituals, spells, hexes and curses are all left up to your own devices. your fingers grow inky black and sharp the more revenge you doll out, the veins against your eyes pulsing black like you darkest emotions.
ANGEL
you are UNFORGIVING, driven by an obsessive need for worship. you seek sacrifices and offerings made in your name, and punish your blasphemers and non-believers with purifying flame for the trespass of their sins against you. you sprout feathery wings from your back, and your holy aura sears the eyes of anyone who dares look at you for too long.
DEMON
you are INSATIABLE, a servant to your most wicked of urges. you find pleasure in sowing seeds of temptation, your pheromones and silver-tongue encouraging others to embrace their worst vices, from greed to pride to wrath. your favorite, however, is lust - you haunt the wet dreams of your victims until their lives revolve around you. your victims become empty thralls, bewitched by your spiraling horns and fork-tongued charm.
SELKIE
you are LONELY, unable to live outside of bodies of water for long, but your longing for companionship draws you to find a partner. your voice casts a trance on anyone who lacks the will to resist, like a beautiful song. you covet your dearest love so much that you canβt help yourself - youβll peel off their skin just to be closer to them, and drown them in the lake if they ever try to leave you. you grow gills and shiny scales that bloom into a tail in the water.
CHANGELING
you are DECEITFUL, down to the very nature of your appearance. you can take many, and any form to play your tricks, but your favorite? you like to become a personβs most beloved, replacing their role in your victimβs life. you entertain yourself with destroying their relationships, and tricking them into magical bargains that benefit you alone. in your true form, you grow animal or plant features.
