'Ey Ghazkull, what's the rules on reincarnation?

[Xantalos]

'Ey Ghazkull, what's the rules on reincarnation?

Glad to do business with ya.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

That would actually be more viable than direct resurrection..

[Xantalos]

Wait, what would?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Reincarnation.

[Xantalos]

Reincarnation.

Reincarnation ...
How would that work, then?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Similar process to resurrection.

Basically, instead, it'd be crafting for them a new mortal body and putting their soul into that without memories, making them look like newborn Ascendants.

Resurrection would make them as they were when alive, but weaker. They retain memories and agendas, i.e Az-Sho retains his newly found disgust for Udil. Reincarnation would be putting Az-Sho into the body of a Flameborn without any memories.

Huh. That would be pretty cool, and it would provide very interesting paths for character development.
Personally I like the ressurection because I don't have to go through that 'staring from a blank slate' thing with a character again, but eh. Either way is pretty interesting to contemplate.

We just need to petition Ghazkull to let the rules we created in....assuming he hasn't already.

Reincarnation would also require less materials for a catalyst, but still needs a mighty act. It also masks their divine essence (Aodun would be able to detect a revived god, not a reincarnated one, etc)

You're piecing together a god's bits using a giant divine electromagnet, essentially. The difference is that with resurrection you're doing it to put the god back together in a weaker form, in reincarnation you're doing it to put the recombined essence into a mortal body.

That, again, seems pretty awesome.
I assume that with reincarnation the basic personality is preserved?

[ragnarok97071]

... good god those would make some awesome stories and myths and the like. Especially since you basically have a mortal with the essence of a god, that's gonna be... interesting.

[Deny]

I wouldn't think so since personality is also affected by ones past, what they expierience and so on

but I agree with ragnarok, awesome, assuming its allowed

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Pretty much.

Also, upon ascension you regain your spheres unless you choose to discard them. And you must be reincarnated as a sentient creature related to you, i.e Vanida is reincarnated as seaspawn, Corvus as Crowborn, Neyravah as Soultaken, Az-Sho as a Fire Giant, Thaneos as a giant, etc.

[Deny]

No offence but I don't think you should be writng rules for Gahz's game

[IamanElfCollaborator]

I know. But still, discussing theoretical stuff about bringing the dead back is quite good.

I'm not saying he should even pay attention to the hypothetical rules. I'm saying it would be cool if he actually implemented this.


As for a SECOND death, if a resurrected or a reincarnated god is killed, he's staying dead, because there wouldn't be enough of their essence to even form an atom.
