Chosen Undead (Dark Souls)

Cost: 25 SP

As the Chosen Undead, you embody the essence of humanity in all its forms. Your transitive soul is able to be given and absorb the souls of others while retaining your own identity. Regardless of the souls you possess, your core remains intact, transcending the essence of those you acquire.

In a world where failure is a constant companion to humanity, each stumble and defeat becomes a valuable lesson, allowing you to grow stronger and adapt. Your unwavering determination and resilience in the face of challenges reflect the quintessential human spirit.

Like a valiant knight, your indomitable will resides even in a battered and broken body. Despite physical injuries and hardships, you press forward, fueled by enduring resolve. Your mind harnesses madness itself to propel you onward, overcoming the trials that stand in your way. Across countless eons, you persist in your duty without faltering.

Immortality has been granted to you through the presence of a Fragment of a Lord Soul within you. Death's grip cannot hold you, as you rise again and again, defying the challenges before you. With each resurrection, your vitality is restored, allowing you to continue your journey. Unlike cursed Hollows, you retain your human appearance, forever bearing a healthy and vigorous visage.

Deep within you lies the power to spread the Curse of the Undead, known as the Darksign, to humanity across multiple worlds. Though a curse, it can also be seen as a gift to those longing for immortality. Should you desire, you can burden others with the same immortal fate, allowing them to rise from the grave and join you in the eternal cycle. This curse, intertwined with fragments of the Dark Soul, symbolizes the inseparable connection between humanity and the forces of darkness.

Usurper of Fire, Bringer Of A New Age

In a cataclysmic convergence of power, you have achieved the unimaginable—the fusion of the First Flame and the Dark Soul. As the Usurper of Fire, you stand at the precipice of an eternal phenomenon where the boundless nature of the Dark Soul is enhanced by the First Flame, resulting in an infinitely expanding and multiplying force. Conversely, the First Flame draws sustenance from the Dark Soul, fueling its growth and perpetuating an unending feedback loop of power.

This fusion of opposing forces has also unlocked the secrets of the Deep—an age beyond the fading fires. Visions of the Deep have touched your mind, endowing you with eldritch and otherworldly knowledge, allowing you to cast magic that far surpasses even the power of the Dark itself, relentlessly pursuing your enemies. The corruption of the Deep spreads at your behest, affecting all but those with indomitable willpower.

Yet, it is not just magic and corruption that make the Deep so formidable. The Usurper of Fire possesses a fearsome ability—the power to devour. You can consume the flesh and souls of others, whether they be man, beast, or even gods. Through this devouring, you assimilate their powers and memories, growing stronger with each conquest. Your body remains unchanged unless consciously willed otherwise, allowing you to reach unimaginable heights of strength.

As the Usurper of Fire, you stand at the precipice of existence itself, wielding an immeasurable and endless power. You are the harbinger of a new era, where the fusion of the First Flame and the Dark Soul ignites an Age that defies comprehension—a new Age filled with wonders and impossibilities, where you alone define what can or cannot be.
