He was successful in doing so, however he failed to limit the unliving's personality or put them under his control.ĭuring the Death Crisis, User had almost completed a spell that would allow him to take over the minds of the unliving. His goal was to create soldiers who could raise and control themselves without his constant attention and would possess intelligence and personality enough to make better decisions on the battlefield. The powerful lich and former king of Thyrigen User the Killer had created the unliving in a secret attempt to create an undead army.
Because of these differences and to help alleviate the confusion and distrust that surrounded them, they dubbed themselves "unliving," reflecting their undead nature while separating them from the creatures of darkness.Īlthough no necromantic connection could be found, one did exist in reality. No connection could be found between them and any one necromancer or force, and as such they had no necromantic tether that could be destroyed by disruption weapons or interfered with through turning. Most of them, although not all, retained the memories, personality, and identity they had while alive.

Many unliving also tattoo their bones, creating further physical distinction, albeit artificially. Unliving wear a variety of forms of clothing some attempt to wear "ordinary" clothes, using magic or straps to keep it in place, while others wear grave clothes, truly relishing their dark nature, and still others wear nothing at all, fully embracing their new skeletal bodies. Their forms are therefore usually clean of gore and the like but colored brown, gray, or yellow due to their time in the earth.īecause a unique appearance is rare among the unliving, other forms of expression and physical distinction are very important to them. The typical unliving has been dead for long enough that the rest of their body has decomposed, leaving no flesh remaining on their bones.
