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 β€”Β 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 isn’t anything you won’t 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 can’t help yourself - you’ll 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 person’s most beloved, replacing their role in your victim’s 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.


DEATH SUBMISSION




FAQ

β†’ CAN I HAVE DIFFERENT DEATHS WITH DIFFERENT SUPERNATURAL EFFECTS?

Yes! If you're familiar, consider it like dual-classing in DND β€” you can have a death in Vampire and Werewolf, and will receive two separate permanent effects. Alternatively, you can stick to one supernatural effect, and further the severity of it.

β†’ THE GAME HAS BEEN OPEN FOR A FEW MONTHS AND MY CHARACTER HAS ALREADY DIED MULTIPLE TIMES.
You can ignore this for now and submit in their next death instead β€” alternatively you can submit a death in hindsight and receive a cursed effect by it. For continuity reasons, please only submit one death in hindsight, and keep up the effect with any further deaths as they come along.

β†’ I DIDN'T LIKE THE CONSEQUENCE I RECEIVED

That's okay! You can request a change, but you will be stuck with the outcome you receive on the second go around.

β†’ HOW LONG CAN MY CHARACTER BE FUNCTIONAL BEFORE NEEDING TO FIND THEIR STONE?

Anything longer than a few days will have them completely feral, zombie-like. A week is the absolute maximum.

β†’ WHAT IF MY CHARACTER IS TECHNICALLY DEAD AND/OR UNKILLABLE?

If you're interested in the death mechanic, we can find a way to kill them! Nothing is totally dead or completely unkillable in Saltburnt.

hello mods, i have a q!

so, my character is already dead and a ghost ... i know, i'm so extremely difficult sobs but how would this mechanic thus affect my character? just curious to see if there's a way that edwin can still acquire some of these side effects despite his state of existence.

thank you!

Hi mods! This is less a question and more me repeating back the death mechanics to you to be sure I understand them. Is this more or less it?
1. YOU HAVE DIED
2. After a week or thereabouts, throw this rock into the lake!
3. YOU HAVE COME BACK WRONG, aka, character exhibits one or all of the traits in their chosen monster description.
4. "Fuck get the rock back!"
5. Character reverts to normal, PLUS one permanent death effect.

once resurrected, will characters find their bodies physically healed of whatever it was that killed them/would there be scars etc? or is it a 'choose your own adventure' type detail? πŸ’–
