Here on Marvel Unlimited death is just the beginning. Your characters alignment ways in heavily on where you go after you die. There are the Higher planes and the Underworld each have their drawbacks. Neutral characters can pick either the first time they die but must alternate every time after. Characters can permanently die here but it takes a lot more effort than normal. Though final death of a character is more difficult dying normally does incur penalties. There are no ways to get around these penalties UNLESS you have admin approval or admin approved item that grants this effect OR some form of resurrection was approved which cuts penalties based on their power. Though the rules are more flexible concerning death the penalties are severe enough for players not to want to die.
Any disfigurements or wounds held during the topic of your death will be healed when you are returned or resurrected. Any prior to that point will remain. Penalties for death are held below;
Underworld- The underworld or netherworld is thought to be deep underground or beneath the surface of the world in most religions and mythologies but held in a different realm in Marvel. Typically it is a place where the souls of the departed go, an afterlife or a realm of the dead for the less than worthy. Many figures hold dominion in their respective portions of the underworld. Remember that “The Underworld” is an umbrella term used to describe the general place of the dead for the unworthy. You should rp it out as whatever your characters respective religion or culture signifies. If any of the penalties are not updated, upon discovery character will be punished with final death.
The following are penalties in the Underworld
1. In the Underworld all prestige the character has is now gone.
2. They may not rp in ANY other topics.
3. The dead must now rp a solo topic or with a partner (who must also be in the underworld) at least 2,000/4,000/8,000/16,000 etc words of them getting out. Multiplied times 2 for every death.
4. Cannot gain any prestige rping in the Underworld.
5. Each week character is in hell they lose one ability(player may choose which).
6. Third time character dies they lose a sub power.
7. Fifth time a character dies they lose a Main power.
Higher Plane-Transcendent place from which transcended beings exist. A Paradise, in contrast to Hell or the Underworld or the "low places", and universally or conditionally accessible by earthly beings who appease their higher power. In Marvel Unlimited it is of course an umbrella term used to describe the general place of the dead for the righteous or those that have appeased the transcended. You should rp it out as whatever your characters respective religion or culture signifies. If any of the penalties are not updated, upon discovery character will be punished with final death.
The following are penalties in the Higher Plane
1. The dead must now rp a solo topic or with a partner (who must also be in the Higher planes) at least 3,000/6,000/9,000/18,000 etc words of them getting out. Multiplied times 2 for every death.
2. Must pay 500 prestige to create or repair another body to re-enter earth.
3.Second, third, and fourth time character dies they gain a flaw.
4. Each week character is in Higher plane they gain 500 words to the count to rp out.
Resurrections-Resurrection of a PC life of any kind requires a PC life. As a power resurrection is banned. All resurrections must be at least S-ranked and generally have something to do with your main power. YOU CANNOT RESURRECT YOURSELF. Only exception being immortality(which we limit here). S-rank immortality brings a character back from the Underworld or higher plane as is(meaning all penalties that were gained remains). Group resurrections get to reverse 1 penalty per S-Rank after the first(I.e. 3 people use an S-rank rezz, they can undo 2 penalties). However, if prestige is lost it cannot be gained back.
