Chained Ones

Postby Thannis Daraktheon on January 5th, 2014, 11:22 pm

The physically Undead marked of Uldr... Now usually this is pretty simple to work out because the character has been a Nuit before but Wisp, my character, was allowed to die first before he got his mark making him a Chained One but he was never a Nuit. Ichor never flowed through his veins. Uldr gave him a new body to go forth and do his bidding (full story is in my CS but I gave you the abridged there because it's a pretty long solo). So... Should we assume that Wips's new body is rather like a Nuit's? Would it bleed Ichor, not need to eat or drink or breath? I'm not really sure of the alternative but I need to ask because all of the Lore is on either clearly dead Nuits or clearly alive people and I don't want to portray him wrong.

It depends on the type of chained one you are. There are three types as stated in the lore.

Type 1's are former Nuit.

Type 2's more easily blend in with those around them and possess few monstrous features. They also possess minor regenerative qualities and have no blood or ichor. They also typically have very highlighted eyes, and pale skin.

Type 3's appear monstrous, but are likely more gifted than those above at the trade off for being really obvious undead.

So it depends on what type you are.

I am probably Type 2 then. So no blood or Ichor. My body must be held together by Godly Awesomeness.

I know Nuits probabkly shouldn't eat as their digestive tracts don't really function but you would think a Chained One should be able to eat or drink since their craving usually revolves around digesting something so even if it's not that something one would think their digestive tracts would work in some way, yes?

Chained Ones

So this is some confusion that I REALLY have tried to fix. If you a living person and you are marked by Uldr you are not a Chained One. The only time you become one is if, as in your case which should be rare, Uldr takes an interest and actually GIVES you a new body. Living will never be chained ones, ever.

If you do become a chained one you are undead. You are no longer living, cannot do anything the living can do. Thus you do not eat, you do not drink, do not do any of the things living creatures do. Type two chained ones have no blood or ichor, thus cannot indulge in 'pleasure. They can consume their craving, but they cannot eat food because, like you said, they do not digest. As to how that is possible I am not 100% sure. Maybe from time to time a type two will cut open his stomach and dump the contents? I don't see why not lol.

Anyway, people get confused a lot and think that if you are marked by Uldr you are automatically a chained one, that is just not true. If you are marked WHILE STILL ALIVE you are a living marked and have some undead qualities, like being able to hold your breath for 30 min, don't have to eat or sleep much, etc. Because you are alive you can still make love, you can still eat and do everything a living person can do because you only have SOME undead qualities.

Hope this helps!

Wretched Aura: As a Wretched One Evalin possesses an unnatural aura about her that causes unease in those who get too close. It can come as a prickle of the hair on the back of the neck, a sense of 'wrongness' about her. How people experience it is different depending on their personality and how they handle the unnatural and unknown. Animals tend to become more agitated, more easily sensing how wrong Evalin is and often avoiding contact with her.
