Name: Stephen Lachlan
Killer: Jared Richter
Resurrectors: Agatha, Arthura and Daschla
_____________________________________________________________
Short term effects:
Where Am I? Who Am I? Why Is It So Cold?: Confusion, a state of addled mind.
Relearning To Walk: Loss and/or significant reduction of certain motor functions.
Braaaiiinnns: Predisposition towards cannibalism and/or mindless violence.
Coming To Terms: Likelihood of severe emotional distress and/or multiple moral/existential crises.
_____________________________________________________________
Long term effects:
Breathers: Irreconcilable revulsion, jealousy, feelings of supremacy and/or general antipathy directed towards the living.
Power to the Forsaken: Undying loyalty to the Dark Lady and her nation.
It Doesn't Listen Anymore: Even if his faith somehow survives these ordeals, Stephen will no longer be able to channel the Light as he once could - if at all, nowhere near as well.
_____________________________________________________________
Permanent effects:
Cold Motherf***er: Stephen will be forever lacking in body heat.
Poor Personal Hygiene: Stephen will forever resemble a rotting corpse.
It Burns: Spells of a restorative nature, utilising any form of benign Divine magic, will have the opposite effect on Stephen's body.
I'm Sorry, I Just Don't Care: Stephen is henceforth incapable of feeling 'true' emotion, and will instead subconsciously assign the 'echoes' of those he felt before his death to his experiences.
Curse You, Lacking Blood Circulation: Stephen's days as a lech are decidedly over.

. . . Pardon the bad joke(s) above. Okay, so the point of this topic is thus. Cataclysm, when it comes to CotH, is looking to make very particular changes of race among characters not only workable within lore, but, under circumstances, practically unavoidable within a realistic RP - for example, if your human priest falls to the blades of the Deathguard without the cadaver sustaining crippling damage, whatever would they do with the cadaver?
The question I am asking is: for certain (i.e. Undead) characters, will being brought before the Val'kyr be seen as a legitimate means of resurrection after character death? If the answer is in the affirmative, would it be permissable under certain circumstances for human characters to be 'resurrected' as Forsaken via the same means?
I'm curious, so I'm looking for a discussion rather than a yes or no answer, although one of those from the right source would be just as welcome.
