One that can shape-shift so I can change my bodies sex to the one that aligns with my gender identity and be fully conscious and self aware but I'd also line to have free will

I'd also want to have all powerful magic as well

Jesus, for sure. Not that he came back.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

But that is what the Good News(tm) is all about for the evangelicals! He is already HERE! Parts of him are probably fossilized or petrified by now. And the rest of him is just dust. And dust never goes away. Why, I might even have a particle of Jesus dust in my yogurt right now! Halleluhah.

I'd go as more-or-less human ala the movie Warm Bodies. Just because I'm dead doesn't mean I can't have a nice romantic fling!

Skeleton:

  • When the hero comes into the tomb, I want it to be dead first, no faffing about with boss fight (which they always win) BS.
  • I like the musical nature of their bones.
  • I already am one, sort of...

Whatever kind of undead Raziel counts as. Double undead vampire = soul devouring wraith? Hey, manifesting on both spiritual and physical realms is neat.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I would be the kind of ghost that could possess people so I could bang their wives using their bodies but somehow when I cum, the possessed penis shoots out my actual sperm so I can forever keep my sainted genome alive

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Lich. The power that other famous examples like Darth Cheney and Henry Kissinger had is just too tempting.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

I'll be that guy, and say abomination. The more twisted the better. Like a mouth in my belly, extra arm on my back kind of twisted. I'll learn to enjoy striking terror in my victims' hearts. Afterlife will be dope.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Wraith, so that I can go through walls, carry a big-ass scythe, and upgrade from generating Fear to generating Terror, so I can exploit that juicy morale penalty even if the enemy unit is immune to Fear.

I'm pretty lazy, so... spectre. Having no body to haul around will make things easier.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Ghost. Flying, intangibility, spooky telekinesis ... Sounds great.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I guess a skeleton. Id be reach on account of all the bones

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Something non-sentient please, I was enjoying nonexistence

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Hmmm,an undead deity, undead tarrasque, or, the pact to summon me would be the life of the summoner and he summons me as his undead self.

I like all of these options

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Darksign'd undead. Sure I'll hollow out eventually, but for now lets do some jolly co-operation.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

If you disregard supernatural powers of undead, it's different depending on who you ask anyway, I'd go with a skeleton.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Whatever type Jesus was. Folks seem to like that kind of undead.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Undead Deity is in fact a great answer to the question.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That appears to send shivers down my spine.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

That has made me shake and shudder in surprise.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Lich would be fun

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

The kind that instantly kills the necromancer, then returns to being dead.

A vampire. Since it’s a necromancer raising me, instead of another vampire, I won’t be enthralled and will have free will.
Then there’s all the wonderful abilities and the fact that I’ll still look good for an undead (it’s a pretty movie vampire, not one of those creepy ones)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

First - pretty movie vampires were pretty humans before they got vampired. Second - why in the fuck would a necromancer raise a vampire with free will? Face it 'pretty' boy, you'll be stuck in a cave trying to kill adventurers who never visit. You'll be talking to rats after the first month of solitude. You'll lose your undeath virginity to a lost mountain goat. The first time a girl will be around your cave, she'll notice how it smells like a homeless man who hasn't changed his underwear in years and avoid the cave entirely. You'll feel like spiking yourself in the heart because you had gotten used to the smell, but you won't even be able to do that - you're a necromancer's minion. You have no choice in how you live or die. You're just a smelly guardian of an uninteresting cave.

I'll take undead drake. I'm doing some epic shit before I die, not just guarding some cave.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Those are a lot of assumptions you're making:

  • No one said the necromancer wanted a minion
  • No one mentioned anything about a smelly cave
  • I never said I'm a boy
  • Maybe I would love the solitude

Anyway, no one said that the necromancer needed a guardian for some smelly cave. I like to think the necromancer got lonely and just wanted a friend to chat with. Even if what you say is true, cave guarding is for low-level chumps like skeletons or ghosts. Vampires are middle-management at least :)

Also, how on earth can you tell me I have to look exactly like I did when I was alive - which is still pretty :P - while you apparently can transform from human corpse to a drake?
Following your rules, the necromancer would be trying to assemble a drake using human bones, creating some weird facsimile of a dragon. The "drake" would spend its time jumping out from behind rocks shouting "blergh", while falling apart at the slightest touch. Wishing some adventurer would put it out of its tortured existence instead of just pointing and laughing.

while you apparently can transform from human corpse to a drake

Did you just assume my species?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Fair enough :)

You sonuvabeech

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Oh hell no. A fumbled 1, shambling back into sweet death-death within moments, possibly dragging him with me.
