Death Sight: Activate!

[ognesperanza]

okay so it's not exactly a 'sight' but. HI ARE YOU DEAD/HAVE BEEN DEAD/DIED IN CAMP/DEATH IS YOUR FATHER???? Nico can sense anything death-related to the soul etc. so… I just need to know so Nico can properly glare at you once he picks it up. you're messing up the order of things stop it

He can only sense mortal souls, but it's up to you if this only pertains to human souls or not. MORTAL NON-HUMANS WHAT IS GOING ON It'd confuse Nico, that's for sure! If you don't want Nico sensing these things with your character COMMENT TOO it's cool

tl;dr if you're dead or have died or have deathsoul things or the grim reaper resides in your eyeballs, whispers come to me

Oh goodie I get to be first.

Koyomi (this one) is dead. She's basically an animated corpse living by means of magical energy and she knows this ain't right. (Canon has yet to tell us what specifically is her actual deal but there are still ten more episodes? sob) She is super sensitive about it/is scared of people finding out and she gets defensive about being confronted with things like that. Her stats explain it a little more in-depth.

Jiu Wu (powerisyours) has died in camp a few times and you're welcome to give him the stinkeye for it. He knows all about messing up the order of things and he don't like it either.

Nagi (captiously) mmmmight count but only in that he's a 15 year old highly trained psychokinetic professional assassin. He hasn't died, though.

My other kids haven't been killed or anything yet.

[ognesperanza]

yessssssss this'll be fun. Nico can't sense if someone's killed (unless he's been keeping secrets. though I'm thinking of making a status effect post for that) so Nagi's safe! I'll be perusing Koyomi's stats then. :D

[justwannahave]

Cindy justwannahave has never died and is the most immortal of all my characters. She is not a human but an alien from another dimension or something who happens to be a fairy tale.

Tiffany Aching runstowardsfire has walked through Death's Door and gone back out again because witches are basically cheaters if they can get Death to look the other way. Also a human from another planet with a relatively benign anthropomorphic personification of Death. [She has died quite horribly in a Wolf Game multiple times, but that is not known to her in Camp and she is not likely to ever find out.]

Guy of Gisborne redemption_fail is dead in canon and he is quite aware of it. Completely normal human.

[ognesperanza]

Nico's pretty good at giving respect to immortal peeps but he can't sense that shit. also what fairy tale your descrption... I just might have to check her canon out i just.

How does the Wolf Game work with that exactly? I mean, I know people carry over what they want buuuuuut does that mean it actually happened? I've only seen it explained as comadreams or something...

[saladbolg]

Hi! So. Trahearne is not dead and never has been, and also not human and never has been, but he's a necromancer, so he may well ping Nico.

(Trahearne also may or may not be unable to die unless killed - we don't actually know if sylvari age or not. They're born as adults and he is literally the oldest one, at 24 years old, so, uh. We'll find out when he does whether or not he can die of natural causes, I guess. XD)

[ognesperanza]

oooo Necromancer, yes. he'll be very confused because I thought that was a child of Hades' thing??? What is life. also, an alien stop making me want to app the Doctor i just got here

he'll definitely ping as weird and you hang with dead people too?

[mycondolences]

OKAY, so there are a few of mine who apply.

Ash possessive is a human reincarnated dragon also has died in camp a few times.

Kakei pharmanoncon has died in camp!

Riddle mycondolences is dead! He's also a reaper! And has half a soul. His partner Hayato has the other half, but he's perfectly human and alive.

Shusei andwatchmeburn has reincarnated several times and remembers it all. I suppose that can count. He also had his heart stopped and was technically dead for a while in canon. He woke up later again though.

[ognesperanza]

ohhh Riddle, you will be fun. he will have no idea what to do with those pings.

Shusei definitely counts! more of a vague thing, but it fits into the Underworld's setup quite nicely.

[doctorquincy]

Ryuuken (doctorquicy) is human and not dead, but he is a Quincy and can sense spiritual presences and powers, etc. He can also see souls and stuff, too.

Sion (a_natural) is human, although he had a close brush with death which resulted in his white hair and red scar.

Luka (brandloyalty) is a Duras (demon) of a very high rank and has blood of the Demon King infused in his body. He's several hundred years old and still kicking.

Kanda (withoutregret) is a science experiment that was created to house the brain of a former exorcist. His Innocence (a holy substance that makes up his sword) is in his blood. Or something. IDK my bff D.Gray-man. He's died several times in canon.

Tatara (inlovingmemory) is super dead and knows it. He is imbued with the Red King's aura, which is something akin to fire, and has the power to manipulate it.

Nai (simplegifts) is a human/niji hybrid. He's got super hearing and some other stuff going on, but he's pretty normal and alive otherwise.

[ognesperanza]

ohh hmm...if it affected him to the point of changing his appearance, Sion might ping Nico. the remnants of death hanging around him or some such dramatic thing. NOT SURE if Nico can sense other people can sense things, but (wow it's been a while, Bleach) Ryuuken might ping as an Underworld monster a-ahahaha since he won't know what the feeling actually means. That sound about right? Since Quincys deal with Hollows too and wow I forgot how much they do. So it'll just be a mild thing.

OH MY GOODNESS IT'S SO CUTE i mean. Nai is safe then!! :Db and AHHHHH KANDAAAAAAAAAA AHSDFIOASHP yes good they can have glaring competitions omg

[zeroforsilver]

Well...

Ryuuichi voicessshadows died due to an accident and was revived after a while.

Rei (this one) has five personalities who all would seem/are dead souls. He's also a psychic of sorts and has no idea about the dead thing yet.

[ognesperanza]

Oh jesus. Nico will have no idea what to do with Rei. That's so weird he actually might mention it. Would that be ok?

[paranormanactivity]

Neither Vanya (noteworthy) nor Jade (fourthsaken) have died and both would likely ping Nico as completely normal. Jasper (emotionallyavailable) has died, but he's of the immortal/vampire variety.

Norman here has never died, but he has his own death things going on. Norman can see and understand ghosts and the undead, and talks to them quite freely, more comfortably than he talks to living people, actually. This includes the zombies of Camp who he considers his friends. So, that is definitely something Nico is free to notice, especially because Norman's pretty open about his ability.

[ognesperanza]

Unless Jasper was human when he died, he's good!

omg he talks to the zombies? that's awesome, because unless the zombies start speaking English or Greek and stop grumbling and shit, Nico can't, and it'll drive him nuts. If Nico sees Norman doin his thang, he's definitely approaching.

[freewill]

So Castiel is an angel so rather than a soul, he has Grace! He has died and been brought back a few times, though that was before Camp, so idk if it applies. BUT LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY MORE DETAILS and I'll offer them.

[ognesperanza]

HI HELLO CAS. nnnnnope, no mortal soul, so he can't sense it. Grace is way not soul-y for Nico's purposes. Which is a shame because the faces Castiel would make... and the idea that there's a god out there who actually lets people escape death. God may be a dick but he's nicer than Hades.

Actually, do angels go to Hell when they die? 'cause then Nico would get a little feedback. I never got how Grace worked...

[abhero]

Hamel is half human, half demon, son of the Demon King. Demons are immortal as long as they don't run out of magical power (they can be killed though) so I guess that makes him… half immortal? idk man you decide. The demon part of his soul gives dark pings like whoa, but he keeps it under control for the most part.

Xellos is a mazoku, a demonic spiritual being. He lives on the astral plane and the form people see is in fact a projection he creates. He's immortal unless you kill him and pings SUPER FUCKING EVIL.

Neither of them died.

[ognesperanza]

Alright, that sounds like it'll be a vague thing that Nico'll put aside for later thinking, because huh that feels slightly familiar... Until Hamel lets it loose (if he ever does). Because then it's out of the human soul pings and into are you from the Underworld what

o great SUPER FUCKING EVIL is right up Nico's alley

[boxcut]

Jennifer has died twice in canon, and an additional 4 (I THINK?) times in Camp. There's a bit of a complication to the fact that she was human during only two of her deaths, and she's currently a demon, so... not really mortal at all. I play it as more of a walking dead human/demon soul hybrid thing (demon sort of fused onto her regular soul, with the addition of immortality+powers). Do with that what you will, I guess?! lol sorry

[ognesperanza]

hahahha it's okay, I actually saw Jennifer's Body not too long ago, so that helps. He'll only sense she died once when she was a human, I think? Although if she has humany bits in her soul still he might sense it all...but I'll go with just the one, to be safe. Either way there'll be more glaring because what are you.

[cockyverymuch]

Damon is a vampire, and as such is undead and immortal, and feeds on the blood of humans.

[ognesperanza]

o lovely WHAT KIND OF PLACE HAS NICO GONE TO did Damon die to become a vampire? because he'll sense that, and...that's pretty much it.

[skyqueen]

Sizer is an angel/human mix. She's also part demon (Hamel's sister, actually) but the angel/human ping is what sensitive people pick up so make of that what you will!

Even if he doesn't notice the angel ping her wings are kinda telling.

[ognesperanza]

haha yeah Nico wouldn't sense angel stuff, but those wings will get some questions. Unless she feels dark or something, he won't notice that either unless it's a strong ping. the kiddo's still leveling up haha.

[fayzedandconfused]

Brianna has died twice in camp and once (PERMANENTLY AND TRAGICALLY) in canon, pretty recently (like three months ago)!! ~DEAD KIDS~

[ognesperanza]

YAYYYYY~ ITS A PARTY she is gonna get some serious glares, like. This isn't the Underworld what are you doing hereeee ~*~GRUMPY NICO~*~ 8DDDD

/pats Brianna I bet her death was awesome.

[scanninggaydis]

Felix is a totally normal mortal being who is canonically dead and may well glare right back because he doesn't love the idea of people in Camp knowing that he is!

...except that camp will eventually tell everyone anyway and it is totally cool for Nico to notice/mention it and maybe he'll even get away with it 'cause he's a kid.

[ognesperanza]

aww does Felix have a soft spot? Nico isn't really vocal, but mentioning it might happen so GLAD IT'S COOL we can have glare-offs.

[blindstheworld]

OH BOY okay

Wakaba (beautytopsthe) is a Shinigami! She was mortal, died, and is now...undead? The Shinigami don't age, can heal almost all physical damage to their bodies etc. Also death is a bureaucracy in her world; there's a list of people who are supposed to die when, and her job is to investigate either when people don't die on time or they die early (eg murders). Nico can totally give her the side eye and mention it; she doesn't advertise it in camp but she's been here long enough that she doesn't freak out when it comes up.

Toko (keepspromises) is like Shusei--she's more or less mortal, but her soul has been forcefully reincarnated multiple times (outside of the normal death-life-rebirth cycle). She has some memories and knowledge of her past lives, so it's cool to mention.

Ouka (blindstheworld) is...special! Her original body died 13-ish years ago (at age 3), but one of the...not-quite-Gods of the world moved her soul into a cloned body of the original. She's also the vessel for a potentially homicidal angel, but Raphael is dormant in camp so no idea if Nico would sense that. I'm still waiting for canon to stop being a tease and tell me how she's doing at the end of this arc so I haven't updated her to knowing all the messy details about her past yet. But if it comes up, I'm sure we can work stuff out :3

Chibiterasu (mothers_sun) is the odd one out of my group in this case. He's a young sungod and hasn't died before. But I'm pretty sure Nico can see the red markings on his fur, and he's totally free to sense weird things from the puppy. Also the puppy has power over lots of things, but mostly nature and the sun so yes. WOULD YOU LIKE CUDDLES Y/Y

[ognesperanza]

I think your line-up has a theme xD hmm Wakaba would give him extra pings that he'd be pretty confused about, then. like "You're...not a fury, what is this." And unnatural reincarnation, yay!

As for Ouka, Nico won't sense angel-y things, just the death stuff. but unnatural soul messing, yes yes!

You would be right! Generally, anything that keeps a normal person from seeing something, Nico can! Mist and Iliad shit, etc.etc. YESA GOD YES CUDDLES he is lonely :( and a sucker for dogs.

I think your lineup has a theme. xD

[speakandspell]

Billy is a reincarnation of ... uh ... basically a fragment of a demon's power that his mother used to shape into twin boys entirely unknowing, but who now is human comic books are hard. He's used to twelve year old boys staring at him and making comments because young Loki does it a lot. He apparently died in some stupid story but I ignore it because it's stupid.

Colette cannot "die" in the strictest sense; her soul resides in in the crystal attached to her chest and when she dies it is trapped there. It is a complete abomination and anyone with any senses would be able to pick that up. She has not died, because she cannot.

Haseo has an AI attached to his soul that is all about the fear and terror that death brings. He has not died, because he's a soul stuck inside his video game character.

Ronan died in canon but was brought back due to wizardry, which is like DIVINE SCIENCE!!!1111 He also used to be the avatar of what would be Athena, but on death that stopped. He'd be very bemused at Nico going >E at him because the order of things needed him alive.

[ognesperanza]

Hahahaha oh god, I don't envy you, having to deal with comic book 'verses and the crazy writing shenanigans. Nico'll definitely pick that up, if vaguely, because demon=Underworld-feeling makes my life easier.

Oh my god Ronan what is your life. Nico might feel something off about Haseo, but wouldn't really know what to do with the ping, and Colette noted! God Tales of Symphonia why you so mean.

[myalofme]

MINE ARE COMPLICATED AND I AM SORRY. Both aren't dead but have Special Weird Circumstances.

Details on Hanna are here, but basically he smells hella dead to vampires and one of them called him a "cursed rotten hollow shell of a boy." Since the comic is on permanent hiatus and will never get finished NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THAT MEANS but if you feel like running with "something is off," that is a-okay with me. ALSO he's died three times in camp, oops.

Alphonse has a living, human body, but it's been taken away to kind of another plane of existence. 8Ia Right now he's just a soul bound to a suit of armor (more details here) annnd the reason it all happened is because him and his brother tried to bring someone back from the dead. Like with Hanna, I'm totally cool with it if you wanna play with that somehow!

[ognesperanza]

IT'S OKAY HALF OF IT I'M GOOD 'CAUSE FMA IS AWESOME come to me Al and ping me with the abomination that is your circumstance. Typically, Nico'd just glare if it's the usual 'i died and got brought back' thing but Al is indeed special so he'll probably ask probing questions once he gets the feel for it, because Nico thinks he's entitled to this shit. that's really all he'd do, he wouldn't force Al to die or anything. though he probably could.

ohhhh that webcomic everyone cried about when it stopped? Cool, Nico will definitely be generally grumpy around Hanna then. Three times even, gj Hanna (hahaha)

[switchcraft]

Marvelous (redmarksthespot) died once, but he got better by the next episode. He is also a SPACE ALIEN from OUTER SPACE so that might be weird wires crossed.

[ognesperanza]

pfft that's a pretty good revival rate. Hmmmm an alien, but still mortal? HURMMMMMMMM it's pretty species-ist of me to say that only humans have souls isn't it. The pings'll be a bit wonky like coming through a filter, but I'll say Nico will vaguely sense it. For shits n giggles. Unless Marvelous is totally immortal?

[nooohandouts]

Shuichi is a normal human and has died in camp a few times after literally kicking a bucket.

Genta is a human with special powers but has never died.

Ankh: Ho boy. This one's a little complicated. In canon, he died and was then revived. Canon purposely left out the specifics about his revival because the movie was post-series and lol timeline antics. All we can assume is that the medal that was holding his consciousness was put back together again. Whiiich brings us to what Ankh is. He's an embodiment of humanity's sense of desire and is also made up of the essences of hawks, peacocks, and condors. Basically, Nico's probably going to see a whole clusterfuck of stuff from Ankh.

Ankh technically isn't immortal but there's only one way to permanently take him out. Barring camp events and super powerful/godmod stuff from other canons, he can't die in camp.

I HOPE THAT MADE SENSE. Let me know if you need more details!

[ognesperanza]

Nico won't get zip from Genta, so he's in the clear. Ankh though...ahahhhaaha what even, he's a special one. iT MOSTLY MADE SENSE Does that mean that Ankh has a soul? Like, was the medal working as the Millennium Puzzle for "Yami" from Yu-Gi-Oh did? It's just, Nico canonly can't sense death things from beings without mortal souls, such as Fauns and stuff. So if Ankh doesn't have something like a soul, then Nico will just get a weird feeling from him.

If he doesn't, but you want Nico to sense he died really really badly and Ankh has something similar to a soul, like if his consciousness works in an 'there's something that happens after death' way, then I can handwave the details and we'll have fun with that. I can't be as selective as canon anyway because the world Nico's in is different than what his abilities are used to.

[arosebyanyothername]

OKAY

Dean Winchester has died .... several times. Possibly over a 100. He has also met the last Nico who was in camp so he knows about Nico's powers vaguely. Also he's been to Heaven/Hell/Purgatory and personally met Death.

Kirk has died once. I won't say more because spoilers.

Stefan is a vampire. Which means he's technically dead!

Sailor Lead Crow has died in canon. Bring it up and she will be pissed though.

Jack Frost has died and came back to life as ... Jack Frost. He's well aware of the circumstances of his death, even if he's not very open about it.

Shion Liddell is dead in canon and he won't like it if it's brought up either.

Renjou Hotsuma, Clint Barton, Edward Elric and Inigo are exempt.

[ognesperanza]

ahhhhh so YOU play Jack Frost. it's nice to meet you! well, now I'm excited. Dean will be fun, since Nico will be miffed if he finds out he's been here before and doesn't remember. oh yeah, and I forgot about that Tuesday episode... damn, Dean. Nico is going to be so pissed omf

[say_thee_nay]

Thor is really the only one of mine who applies--he was killed and magically revived years before coming to Camp, and has repeatedly encountered and fought with/escaped from Hela, the Norse Goddess of Death, several times since. He is, however, also a god himself, so... yeah. Otherwise immortal.

[ognesperanza]

lol oh god, crossing the streams! Greek and Norse mythology clash again... Marvel hasn't decided that the gods have souls, have they? Because otherwise, Nico will get nothing, just that general feeling of "that...is a god isn't it, oh great." He's used to meeting gods now, and that should be more sad than it is...

I love Norse mythology generally more than Greek actually so this'll be awesome.

Spoilers ahoy!

[inheritstheredsouls]

AkaRed is essentially the spirit of all Sentai Reds, except he has a human body and so might ping as some kind of demigod/guardian spirit type...being? But there was a time when there weren't any Super Sentai due to the first 34 teams sacrificing their powers to save their world (thus creating all those Ranger Keys), so he ended up being more mortal and human between then and when the 35th team, the Gokaigers, were formed. And because there weren't any Super Sentai around the time it happened, he actually died died. But then Marvelous returned the Ranger Keys at the end of Gokaiger, so all Super Sentai exists again, meaning that he may have returned to the living. Maybe. Toei hasn't quite confirmed it yet, but this is the general consensus among the toku-borg here in CFUD.

He may also ping oddly beyond the whole dead thing because, as the spirit of all Sentai Reds, he embodies their fighting spirits. Sooo one human(-esque) soul, confirmed dead, with connections to at least 35 other souls.

Re: Spoilers ahoy!

[ognesperanza]

oh...oh wow. That is a lot of pings. Holy shit. What even is the sentai universe it's so encompassing and enormous omg. So demigodthing with ties to dozens of other souls but still human and has died and come back, got it. Nico is going to be so confused. I CAN'T WAIT.

your job sounds like it sucks, AkaRed

[ridestherider]

Natsumi (this account!) has died briefly; she had the life force sucked right out of her a while before she came to Camp. ... she got better though.

Kotoha (moefortono) hasn't died, but she has had her soul stolen from her before and that put her close to it. I wasn't sure if that was a thing, but in case it is, there's that!

Those two are both human. Luka (yellowhasthechest is humanlike but definitely an alien, although she's never died. So if you'd like to play around with nonhuman souls I'd be game for it!

[ognesperanza]

Rough times, Natsumi. Mmmm unless Kotoha's soul actually made it to whatever after-life realm the Sentai world has, he's not gonna notice that. thanks for mentioning though! :Db

Coolio! Looks like there are a lot of non-human souls around here. Nico can only sense death-stuff and vague god-like vibes so if Luka dies in Camp...or something wacky connected with death happens, I'm game too!

[tearsofademon]

Ryner is the latest incarnation of a demon/god/insanely powerful thing who has reincarnated as a human thousands of billions of times and therefore died thousands of billions of times. Except he was born human (with magic eyes) and only had the reincarnation thing implanted in him later IT'S COMPLICATED so I don't know how that meshes with your stuff but. Feel free to sense whatever you'd like, and if you want more clarification I can try.

...There was also one time where he may or may not have died and come back to life in this incarnation too I'm... not actually sure about whether he died the full way or not there...

[ognesperanza]

Your canon sounds.......confusing. That definitely works for me, reincarnation is a big thing in the Underworld, though not everyone does it, it's just well-known. Death and vague-Underworld pings, check. Haha and at this point, one more death isn't gonna make a difference for Nico. Wow, that's messed up...

Did Ryner reincarnate naturally, or was it one of those dastardly villain things where he was forced or something?

[the_ex_in_excessive]

Roxie died in her world but since her world works differently (read: like a classic video game), she's pretty much good to go back there after camp without there being a massive "BUT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD, WHAAAA" uproar. So do with that what you will!

[ognesperanza]

Ahahahaaha oh god I didn't even think of video game mechanics. Nico can feel when a soul's been to whatever afterlife it goes to and other soul-related details, but video game characters don't really go to Hell do they... So I'm gonna say he won't sense it. She's not supposed to be in her equivalent of the Underworld so /throws arms up in the air

also, is Roxie exploding into a bunch of bunny rabbits
