CHARACTER DEATHS
CHARACTER DEATHS
When a character's body suffers fatal damage, they dissipate around their Shards - but as long as the Shards themselves are not destroyed, a Shard-Bearer will return to life. In order for this regenerative process to take place, however, Shards must be brought to the Tree of Life - a place to which all Bearers are innately connected. (This knowledge is well-known by all Bearers in both Highstorm and Springstar, and thus you can handwave how your character came about the details.)
A Bearer's Shard must be placed near the Tree's base; it will slowly sink into the earth until buried. Over the course of the next 5-7 days (your OOC choosing), a cocoon of moss, roots, and soil will begin to emerge from the ground - and as long as the Shard held within is not disturbed, the Bearer will regenerate and revive from within. Once the process is complete, they will 'hatch' from their cocoon like a newborn birdling - with or without outside assistance. They will find themselves weak and generally unwell for the next few days; the time of their recovery is up to you. Whether they bear scars or permanent disfiguration as a result of damage suffered prior to dissipation is up to you.
Should your character die, please fill out the form below to report this to the Loremasters! You may receive some Interesting Information about the journey your character takes while their bodies are coming back into being...
Please note: If your character dies under circumstances that would see their Shard with an enemy who does not intend to let them revive at the Tree or dies in a manner where their Shard is not retrieved by an ally who will bring them there, please reach out to a Loremaster! We can assist you in making sure they aren't stuck in limbo.

Aspect: Stargazer
How they died: Elected to use all his Sand up at the Kaleidoscope. Potentially Stupid Death #1 of MANY.
When they died / when they'll revive: Uhh, January 26 / January 31. End of the Oracle event.
Pick a number from 1-10: 1!
Are you OK with some Lore Bits upon revival? If u think he deserves them, I will Accept. Otherwise, let him stew in his VALIANT BUT FOOLISH death.

Since his Shard was inaccessible to others in the Kaleidoscope, the only person capable of helping Reigen is Mr. Tibbs. One might think this is a big fat RIP for Mr. Arataka, considering the wide variety of statues Mr. Tibbs has in his 'collection,' but oddly enough, Reigen will find his Shard plucked out of his frozen corpse, the memory of what happens next like recalling a surreal dream. He remembers the initial contact being some kind of relief after floating in an overwhelming nothingness - the connection to another living thing most likely being reassuring, but that wouldn't last long. (Where had he been before that? He doesn't even know for sure.) After a too-short respite from drowning in that sea of nothingness (what sea of nothingness?), he knows emptiness again.
Reigen reforms in a Seed just beneath the surface soil at the Tree of Life which is soft and malleable, not difficult to crawl from. He awakens feeling groggy and weak, something that will follow him for a day or two and will require him to rest to recuperate. Alongside this, he remembers two things:
He will be free to leave the Tree of Life, which is as calming and warm a place as ever! Wow, haha, like that whole thing didn't even happen! Except it did, so good job with your pinch of Sand, bud.
Reigen will wake shortly after the event's conclusion, so please check there for the state of things come the 31st!
