Let's take a moment to design a Unique Undead
🕑 Added 2020-07-27 21:37:49 +0000 UTCOkay, so waaaay back in chapter....whatever, it was revealed Calvin would become a Maculat Mulieres should he die.
That's latin for Defiler/Corrupter of women... roughly. I'm not a latin major. Not even a minor, I used google translate.
That's not important. What is important is that we get to create an entirely new form of undead.
What makes undead fun? Its the crazy-ass rules they have to follow.
All the best Undead have three major attributes: Food they use to sustain themselves, Kryptonite, and Behavioral quirks. I'll use vampires and zombies as an example.
Vampires:
Food : Blood
Kryptonite: Sunlight, Stakes to the heart.
Behavioral Quirks: Can't enter a home without an invitation. Prefer virgins for no discernable reason. likes to sleep underground/in a box.
Zombies:
Food: Braaaains
Kryptonite: Braaains!
Behavioral quirks: Tend to clump up into swarms rather than wander separately. Mindless, highly aggressive. immune to pain....Braaaains!
SO! The game here is to make up traits for this particular undead. Don't feel too attached to the defiler title, really get creative with it. Any three traits (or more) that you want to suggest! it's all on the table.
Format example:
Food: The energy released when someone compromises their beliefs?
Kryptonite: Banjo music played by someone's uncle
Behavioral quirks: Must always shake using the left hand. Irresistable urge to dip nuts into water reservoirs.
I'll select the ones I like and then Calvin will stumble across his new limitations organically.
