Seems you can't always get what you want..
« on: March 07, 2012, 02:23:19 pm »

Ocgi Pleatedrinse was a human born in 55 and died in 172 (Old Age).
Caste: Male
Type: Standard



In 134, midsummer, Ocgi became obsessed with his own mortality and sought to extend his life by any means.

In 172, Ocgi died of old age.



Hell of a long search though, poor guy.

I'm picturing a slightly-unhinged guy who has a gray beard, is carrying a large map with a bunch of X's on it, and is systematically fasting in every death god's temple and asking them if they've yet gotten around to writing down instructions on the whole defying-mortality schtick.

"Really? Been too busy, you say? *Marks an X* Fine then, I'll go check in with Thanatos down the street. Lazy bum."

A great human twisted into humanoid form. It has an emaciated appearance and it squirms and fidgets. Beware its bronyism!

Well he clearly didn't discover the secrets of Life and Death, but apparently he did extend his life a bit.

I was going to say, in a world where starvation, ninja stealth assaults by massive titans, kidnapping and conversion by evil night creatures, rampaging giant creatures (Anyone else wind up with a pack of giant dingos having historical rampages? As a group, no less?), and war are all ways one could prematurely meet their end, I'd say he was pretty successful in extending his life. Maybe not forever, but you know, maybe he decided that was for the best in the end.
