In this world, every now and again an undead of nigh godlike power arises.
So as far as everyone else is concerned, you’re Voldemort, Darth Vader, Sauron.
Whether you’re character acts like Darth Voldesauron is however up to you.
I picture this silly Deadpool like character who, while being very very good at killing people, would much rather drink some beer, flirt with the serving girl, and play a friendly game of cards with the guys, but nooo, they just have to attack him instead, so it’s defenestration, disembowel, dismember, and decapitate time.
“Come on guys, I can’t be the only one who needs a drink, right? There’s a frothy cup of goodness with your name on it if you say yes. We could not fight and say we did.”
You’re a monster, awakened without memories of your life. You have become an entity beyond the living and dead, a supreme undead being, rebirthed through a curse that takes on a new bearer every handful of centuries and the simple fact that you exist makes you a threat to the entire world.
I now have no choice but to name my next character Darth Voldesauron
The only question is whether to have him be The Dark Lord, Darth Voldesauron or Darth Voldesauron the Dark Lord
Yes. They are not a rotting mess because of their regenerative powers, but they are sickly pale and their eyes illuminated by their magic. But beyond that, they look very human at first.
You will get opportunities to turn yourself into more monstrous forms later. But the monstrous nature of the Wight King shines most in their powers, it’s really when they use their powers that their true nature is revealed.
The difference is that a regular human can’t see auras, and theirs are so weak that they are barely visible. Powerful humans are more like the Wight King. But the Wight King is so powerful that their aura can be felt even by regular humans unless they actively suppress it.
Does the Kaiser and other powerful people have visible auras too?
Also you say they are sickly pale but in the old demo there was an option to choose your skin color I think
Yes, when they use their powers. When they don’t, you will only feel the ‘pressure’ of their presence, imagine it like gravity pull, the stronger you are, the greater your pressure.
You are sickly pale for your skin color. If you have a darker skin tone, it will be more ashen.
