A List Of Men Who Are Too Stubborn To Die Or Are Looking For Immortality.(or Both)

Declan stalked closer to the opening in the trees, his eyes settling on the figure standing, looking down at the water. It was still and unmoving, taking slow but shaky breaths in and out. He had never seen the figure up close but now, he had a good look at him. The clothes he wore hung loosely on his body, almost all hint of muscle gone, a stark difference to what Arthur had said he looked like before prison.

While Declan's mind trailed off, he failed to notice that the figure slowly got closer to the water and was now knee deep in it. Finally Declan noticed what he was doing, " Telo-" he was cut off as the man sunk into the water, no thrashing or screaming just, silence.

"Didn't think I'd ever see you?" Declan was ready to turn around to face the voice when a large calloused hand covered his mouth. He was about to bring his elbow forward to jab his attacker when an impact on he ankles sent him falling forward as the hand's grip loosened.

Next thing he knew, he was face flat in the mud. He lifted himself up and for a moment, he could see what looked like blood begining to mix with the mud, before he felt a boot push down on his back and he was back down in the muck. The pressure on his back lifted as he rolled himself over, ready for any punches or kicks, but he stopped, and stared in both curiosity and confusion, he had just saw him fall into the- "My reflection, that's what you saw fall into the lake"."So it was the same man" Declan thought as his attacker straitened himself up and he could see him in all his glory.

"You're not Telostare" Declan said, begining to feel agitated, but that agitation was washed away with a feeling of fear as the man looked at him with a manic smile oozing with malice. "I am not Telostare" he bent down and was now inches from his face. "My name is Melifesto."

Ah, a man of the arts I see, a performer. I was in a similar situation to you, I let the things I did grow corrupt, and consume me, and now I must also face the consequences of what I did. But I feel like some of what you are facing isn't your fault, that's what makes you and me different, you've realised what you did in the past is wrong. Some part of me still thinks we are not at fau-....

Sorry, slip of the mind. But what I'm trying to get at is mentally you are stronger than Glitchtrap will ever be.

Well @willynillynonsense , I do think its time for a short introduction, you will only be talking to 3 people at the moment, because I don't want to overwhelm you or William so, yeah.

So, you've already met the William from this universe and you seem to have gotten on well the last time you both met. So he is option one.

2, is Charles Quill (name not official yet), he, under unknown circumstances was cursed and became a human sized sentient plush doll? I don't know how to explain it. He has 2 forms, ringmaster and clown/jester. He is option 2.

And the one who I said was in a similar situation, Telostare, or Quincy as he likes to be called by some. Maybe even after a while you could meet him.

And then there's me. if you need help with anything, ask me.

So, wich one do you feel comfortable talking to first while you eat?

Thinking of making Dead Men playlists, I don't know.

I definitely will start with Saracen, I already have a few ideas, so I will try to explain why I chose them later.

Well, it's been nice to meet you too William, it was nice talking to someone with the ability to understand our universe. And thank you for the nice chat, it was a good wind down from work this evening. Goodbye William

Well, I'm back, I kinda gathered my abilities wore off a second ago. Well, I hope you had a nice chat with everyone, and I hope to see you again William

Also, good luck with Glitchtrap.

Well @willynillynonsense , Quincy should be here in a sec, he's just getting out of his work uniform so, I'll leave you be.

Hi, I'm sorry if I didn't make any noise coming in, still on work mode, William isn't it? It's nice to meet you, Atlas has told me so much about you. They also probably told you my name but, what's wrong with a proper introduction, my name is Quincy O' Callahan.

DND??!!!!! Plsss yap about dnd I love dnd. Especially concepts

I feel really bad for letting this fester in my inbox until now but after getting spoiled majorly about Arcane and seeing the creature in season 2 episode six, I feel enough inspiration to yap about my boi.

At first the original idea stemmed off from like a fallen Paladin or Cleric concept, where they broke part of their oath and became bound to the demon that made them break it. Then it became an unwilling gaurd dog thing I guess, Cleric/paladin has to do the demon's dirty work and is rewarded or praised for it, which corrupts them even more.

Then the character of Chauncey Cargavire came into existence. Cleric who broke his holy oath after helping a woman who turned out to be an arch demon in disguise <(This part is undecided). She reveals herself and Chauncey begs for her mercy, then she promptly plunges her hand into his chest, rips out his soul, splits it in half then puts one piece back. She keeps the other half, twirling it between her fingers as it blackens and shifts violently. She leaves, promising to be back with a present, and for a few days, he's left tired and running on half the battery till she comes back with his present, a large warhammer with ornate patterns portraying a monsters mouth. In the centre is an amethyst crystal embedded in the centre side faces of the hammer that seems to swirl to almost shift, but upon closer inspection, Chaincey realises that it is the other half of his soul, corrupted and changed, assimilated into the weapon.

I wanted to take inspiration from the same logic Master Splinter used for each of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when giving them their weapons, like how he gave Donatello the stick, a simple weapon that contrasts with his tech skills and intelligence. The Arch Demon gave Chauncey this weapon to feed into a darkness she could see in him, to encourage the Wrath and violence she wanted to break him with to make him a loyal tool.

I feel like I made this too long so I will finish the explanation in a part two in a few days.

So one of the songs isn't actually available to me anymore so, nice...

Anyway, this is what I have so far, if you want or could recommend anymore songs that would be amazing, thank you. So without further delays.

Custer-Slipknot: the raw energy and anger is what I was going for, Saracen isn't a normally angry person but when he is, he's really quiet but you have a small idea that on the inside it's just rage.

Punk Tactics-Joey Valence & Brae: Him, Dexter and the Monster Hunters. That's it.

Hayloft ll-Mother Mother: I read a AU where the whole, he fell of the hill and we had to save him was a cover up that Anton and Dexter made because it turned out that the commander of the camp held a battle where Saracen's sister was innocent but still got killed in the 'Siege of Adare'. Amazing fanfic, but sadly I can't find it.

The Family Jewels-MARINA: A headcanon that Saracen's family was built on honour and he couldn't handle the pressure of being "perfect" all the time so he escaped and got recruited into the army.

I Will Never Forget-Kimwa Dawson: Him talking about loosing Larrikin, Hopeless, Anton and Ghastly. Then it transitions into him apologising to Dexter for not telling him his power. And then to Dexter's POV as Saracen begs him to forget about him in Seasons of War.

Could Have Been Me-The Struts: It's Raw Saracen energy, like him just being him. Not being too wayed down by life and taking it in strides, not wanting anything else.

Dark Red-Steve Lacy: 3 moments. In book eight, after watching the recording of his two best friends being killed by a traitor. Book 9, him almost being crushed to death by a wall. And then, in book 13, after being bitten and coming to terms with it.

Good Old-Fashioned Loverboy-Queen: Flirtatious Saracen, I don't need to elaborate.

Time Moves Slow-BADBADNOTGOOD: Kinda like Dark Red, in that it's him wishing that the fight with Dexter didn't happen, and saying he shouldn't have been such a coward.

Sweet Tooth-Scott Helman: His exciting life of adventure and saying that he has a metaphorical sweet tooth for danger, at the last chorus it would be him meeting Valkyrie and then when everything goes quiet and the singer starts mumbling, it would be the Dead Men talking to eachother going up the mountain in book 8.

Life Itself-Glass Animals: 2 of the reasons why I chose this song was because of the feel, and because of the 'I look FANTASTIC' as Saracen's response to the 'soft living' comments he got in book 8.

So, thats it so far! I hope it's not to bad and I explained it well! I you have any suggestions please tell me.

So, because I am currently doing an rp with @willynillynonsense I decided to upload a kind of old picture I did of my Skulduggery Pleasant oc Telostare/Quincy O'Callaghan

Ah yes, We Happy Few brainrot.

My brain has just thought of a Skulduggery Pleasant AU or crossover with We Happy Few and the ideas for the Dead Men have already started so, I guess I know what I'm going to be thinking about the next couple of days..

Ah yes, duck.

Yes, I think that would be a good idea not to risk

One thing that I forgot to say was the fact that prolonged use of magic slows ageing, so in a funny way your not the oldest in the room anymore.

One downside though, is the fact that if your family or loved ones don't use magic, you have two choices on what to do, you could either: tell them and risk a war or: fake your own death. Not a good choice to make but, that's how life goes.

Well @willynillynonsense , Quincy should be here in a sec, he's just getting out of his work uniform so, I'll leave you be.
