Resurrection & Reincarnation

So you're dead. Now what?
You have some options! The purpose of this article is to detail the process of returning 'back to life' on the roleplay channel. The ADMIN staff and members of the Roleplay Council have worked together to create a system by which players can return back from the dead with as little (or as much) assistance as possible. We hope that players use this afterlife toolkit in fun, and interesting ways and will offer guidance where it is needed.
It should be noted that your return to life must be approved by an ADMIN who has verified you have met one of the conditions, quests, or paid the appropriate RPP for buying your way back to the mortal world.

Ressurection

There are five ways in which your character can return back to life. These 'ressurection' methods vary in difficulty and become harder to achieve (or come at a higher cost) with each subsequent death that your character undergoes.
Once your character has died three times, the only method that can be used to return them to life is a wish made using the Dragon Balls.
You can use these methods in any combination. Example: Perhaps the first time that you die you spend your roleplaying points to return to life, the second time you die you participate and win the Otherworld Tournament, and the third time that you die you train for an extensive period and meet the threshold method.

Roleplay Points

For those that wish to return to life immediately with no strings attached there is the Roleplay Points method. You may contact an ADMIN to purchase this using the personal gboard on the MUD or through private channels such as Discord and email.
First Death - 50 RPP
Second Death - 100 RPP
Third Death - 200 RPP

Threshold

The Threshold method of returning to life simply assumes that as you train, and explore the Otherworld either in Heaven or HFIL you gather enough resonant energy in order to briefly confuse the powers of the afterlife. Narratively this method of returning from the dead represents your power briefly flaring or rising back up as you gain strength and experience so that the powers that govern the Otherworld believe you to be "alive". The Otherworld may have a natural magical 'clause' of returning anyone who is alive back to the mortal world so that mortals don't accidentally get trapped there.
In order to achieve this method of ressurection you must earn a set number of RPP rather than spend it in any combination of red or green points.
First Death - 50 RPP
Second Death - 100 RPP
Third Death - 200 RPP

Quests

The third method of resurrection is to complete one of three 'quests'. Your alignment and whether you are in HFIL or Heaven should not matter for the purposes of these quests. Anyone with the writing chops to take them on can succeed. However the effort needed to complete them should be significant. A frivilous attempt to complete these quests will result in the effort being wasted and your ressurection denied. We encourage anyone who attempts these to ask the ADMINs and RPC for guidance where it's needed and to treat them as difficult tasks to accomplish.
First Death Quest - Find and eat King Yemma's Fruit
Second Death Quest - Win the "Otherworld" Martial Arts Tournament
Third Death Quest - Find a Shard of the Z-Sword and Return it to the Kaioshin

IRL Timer

The fourth method of returning from the dead is simply one of patience, and while it is the least interesting method, it exists so that everyone, no matter their time commitments or resources can eventually return to life.
First Death - 3 months
Second Death - 6 months
Third Death - 12 months

Dragon Balls

Finally, the last method is simply to summon the Eternal Dragon with the seven roleplay Dragon Balls and be wished back to life. A wish from the Dragon is an automatic revival with no consequences. Even if you have already died three times you can still be brought back.

Reincarnation

Sometimes a character has done all they can do. Their story has reached its natural conclussion, or you may simply be ready to move on to a new project. Reincarnation allows you to 'retire' your old character and begin your journey on the CHAT channel as a new one.
We encourage you to not make this decision lightly.
The character that you allow to pass into the Otherworld is gone -forever-. They become a spirit in the Afterlife (little clouds) and can -never- return in any form or fashion. This includes Admin / RPC involvement, and even the turning of the eras and ages. Their story is over, there's nothing left to tell. Any followers or inventions they leave behind are gone. The new character cannot "pick up" where the old one left off and you will not be reimbursed for any RPP you've spent towards these things.
A new character who appears on CHAT through Reincarnation receives a free rename (and a race change if they desire) and must have a new Bio authorized. If you choose to change your race, your in-game PL will be changed to 100 and stats will be returning to 10. All of your items will be stripped from you before you're reset (but returned to you).
The cost for a reincarnation is 50 RPP and it cannot be undone.
