Undeads

To maintain the prolonged functionality of their deathless bodies, the undead must regularly consume Manabloom, as this allows them to center their mind, keep their ego and act as a life source to keep their bodies mobile. Undeads who are not fed manabloom might find themselves hungry for flesh, or losing their minds and going feral. They could be created through sorceries, or by a rare phenomenon where a body is placed atop a field of manablooms, enough to push life back into their bodies. These natural undeads function slightly differently from those summoned, with much greater independence and mobility. Remaining in the living world is suffering for the undeads. They need a strong purpose or a duty in order to remain sane.

Undeads can graft other body parts onto themselves, or enhance their bodies through necromancy. A sign of a particularly enhanced undead lies on their spine. If it is exposed, that means that nervous system modifications have occurred, and they are able to move frighteningly fast. Undead are seen with distrust within most societies, because it is jarring to see a loved one who had departed return in their rotted state. However people are willing to turn a blind eye so long as the undead in question is useful to their respective communities.

There is an innate distrust between the living and the dead, as the dead's perspective on life is often completely shifted. They see life differently, be that easing life by defending against monsters, or allowing those at death's door to go there with ease. However this is not always the case in the minds of the undead, or the living.

Kindness Variant

Necromancy comes in many forms, though the ones that are mainly accepted are necromancy from the Kindness domain. Kindness necromancy is communicating with the dead and asking kindly for their help. They would then step out of the afterlife and once more dive into the world of the living to assist. Kindness undead seem to maintain a strong sense of identity and memory, though their body might be rotting or damaged, a strong necromancer or a cleric of kindness could preserve the ego of those they resurrect perfectly. Undead with that are good often become funerary rites men, or gravekeepers to allow others to be put to rest, allowing kindness's gift to be given to those when their time is up. While others become death cults, delivering kindness's gift to others with force.

One can identify a Kindness undead by their scent, they smell like a strange combination of flowers instead of rot. Kindness undeads also have blue eyes glowing with the same hue as a Manabloom. The glow dims the more hungry or damaged they are.

Pre-Kindness Undead

Created during an era of the Age of Myth before Kindness became the God of Death, each one can be identified by their yellow eyes. Each holding powers and magic long forgotten by most.
