Faction/Race Idea: Undead

[Ravanger]

There are several types of undead and mortal deads as well as the true breed of undead and void walkers the Daden-Populous Sometimes they may not be human at all or may be a living corpse. They may just be reject human or another race but little is known about this race. There are common form and very rare breeds. Some are undead others, well are something not of this world. Also these may have relations with other factions and may not be totally evil at all, there just undead. Since Undead may not always be a correct name for them but most of them are past living or the rarer things that dwell. They may not always eat human flesh and are not always hostile. They do stick to there own kind but are scattered around and lead by different undead lords and such. Undead lords are not as kind as some of the undead are. Undead do fight amongst them but not usally.Undead can die but usually are decently stubborn and may take a few blows before they are put to rest at last. Remember they are not always hostile. There is a lot of duties with being a undead which makes it hard and a true thing to be. You may be forced to join or join in on a rare cause. I was thinking they could be donator or join or a fully join since they are not a full faction.

Just something you could listen to incase you were bored

Zombies-The souless
Usally undead slaves or dammed souls,these are the lowest of the undead chain and are one of the most plentiful. They often have no mind of there own at times but some do.They are usally skinny and have a distinct moaning and grunting sound. They dont always feed on flesh of animals and living as some say,but they do hunt at times and are mostly scavengers.These are aggresive at times but sometimes mind there own business.It is best not to mess with zombies even though they are slow and feeble and often weak. They do attack though.They may reside in slums of cities seeming to be sick peasents and possibly drunks.They do usally have clothes on but sometimes they dont have much on since they dont worry about clothing. They reside near grave yards and  old buildings and darker parts of the forest. They are often peaceful but will attack when attacked or sometimes just to attack. They are not totally brainless. They eat whatever they can get same with ghouls. They do participate in canniblism but it is somewhat rare for this to happen.


Skeletons
They often reside with themselves and are pretty descriptive among the word. They are decently hostile and dislike mainly people and races. They usually are rotted down undead and other types of undead. These main be some of the oldest or maybe even a youngest at times. They do reside with other undead but often stick with other skeletons. They do try to consume food and other things which does not do much but at times they actual begin to grow back there skin and flesh but not always. All undead don't always become skeletons since undead actually regenerate themselves. Skeletons may be starved undead to. Skeletons are not particularly smart and are often dumb and reside in large numbers.They are decently smart though since some of them may be ex-lords and past common undead and usally lead the lower ones.


Ghouls
Bottom feeders,scappers,often considered little bastards.These creatures are a above zombies and may travel in packs or be loners. They are often mischevious and are svanegers aswell and do attack often and prey on humans usally weaker people or alone.But do preper stronger meat of a knight or young woman, or animals.But undead don't always prey on animals. These little buggers crawl on all fours and are decently fast they do crawl around or get on two feet and often are hunched over. They may be dumber than zombies at time but are crafty. Which makes them a true annoyence.They are often controlled by a higher undead.


Common undead
These are the revived and undead spirts of people the walking dead in a one or just a Mortal dead. Sometimes they may not even be a true undead but a Daden. They are smart and like average people in some ways. Usually Daden are considered to be higher in the chain of command but undead can past them at times. These are usually dead warriors and other random people. They often have dryish hair and a blue tint to there skin, there hair can be grey but usually retains there old hair color. Daden often appear as common undead but little is known about the Daden kind. But for the undead more is known about them even though Daden are considered undead the are more of the patriarchs of the undead race. Common undead are just like normal villagers but sometimes may have other in there ranks but are usually humans. There skin is somewhat rotting but still retains it self. Undead are not all ugly and usually still retain a decent look, But for obvious reasons undead are often out casted and reside to themselves .A lot of the undead want to get back to normal but will most likely never. On the other hand some embrace it. All undead seem to have a glow in there eyes or a pure blackness. It all depends on the person and who they are and what they support, almost like a marking. Commons often reside in small villages of there own or try to reside with there family who is still alive and human. Undead lords do often try to control them. They make up about a 1/2 or maybe less of the population. They also may have a dark skin tone or a very whitish skin tone. There are pretty durable and strong.

True Daden
These are said to be the first of all undead and are very noticeable. It is not known if they eat or now though. They often don't wear clothes are wear full geared.

Undead Vindicator
True warriors of the undead and embraces swell . Some say they look like they are ordered around like slaves but are infill control at times. They are wandering warriors and may be loners like many undead. They are skillful in fighting and will destroy those who come in there path. They are very smart as well.


Undead Justifier
Zealots,monks,Worshippers,Magicans,These are about the same as a vindicator adcept the are not fighters. They are almost like mystics a very magic orientated kind with a strong connection with the Essence. They often work with Lords or are on there own or in small groups known as sprit guides. They often make cults. Also they are known to be very skidish and when fought are a very worthy foe. They are extremely hostile towards those they are not with. They are extremely crafty and will often disappear in thin air it seems.


Undead Lords
Leaders and kings of undead groups and armys. They often go in meetings and may fight amongst each other bearing titles and names and factions. There is a decent number of them ordering there own Justifiers and Vindicators. They usually do take main orders from a Essence or else face the true wraith of the undead even though not all undead following the same rules or laws. There often seen as barbaric.


The Essence of Unith
These are said to be the kings of the undead higher than all and some say you will never see one in your living life. If you do you will most likely be put dead, or undead. They see themselves as gods and are not known to be Daden or not but often wear dark robes and hoods. Very, very little is known. They are often depicted as shades.


Others-Unoted types
There are many more types of undead including the tall one in the zombie picture. If you wish to have one added or have a idea to change one or anything else please sf me or post comment. Or send me private message.

I tottaly want this, I would be a Undead lord due to the fact it reminds me of a Death Knight :D, I take it Undead lords can raise the dead?

Tottaly what I want to be >:D

And just because I am upto it, my equipment would be:
Crown of the Dammed (Helm) Gives off the blue flame/aura from his eyes, it also is what the Uniths use to talk to him.
Scourged Ring (Ring) Gives off a very unholy feel around the character.
Deaths Chest Piece (Chest Piece) Strong armor [Not much Enchantments apart from that it can resist unholy powers or anything Dark]
Deaths Grip (Gloves\Hand piece) A main enchantment that is vital, gives the ability to raise the dead.
Leggings of the Shadow (Leggings) Allows him to be faster then normal [Raises his Agility]
Shadow Braces (Vanbraces) Gives him more strengh
Boots of the Damned (Boots) Leaves cold frosty tred marks on the ground where he sets foot.
Demise (Cape) Gives him more Shadow Damage meaning he would be more effective againt a palidin or a character who is holy such as a priest.
Damned Tabard (Tabard bearing the Factions insignia) Do I say more?
Witch Blade (Sword) Very important, his main weapon which contains unholy Damage and Frost Damage blended together, he can use this to command the undead.
Ring of the North Wind (Another Ring on the other index finger) Gives him more frost damage and resistance.

Brief backstory:
Used to be a twenty year old named Richard O'hardy, he grew up on a farm earning money from his father, till he came of age he became a Mercenary, upon his travels he came across a town being looted and plundered, he quickly stepped in and defended the Village, a elder claimed the Bandits was coming from a forest nearby, he also claimed they was speaking about the undead forces hence why the bandits was fleeing, it was obvious the bandits was going to try to take the Village as their Village, Richard paid 45 Farmers to acompany him in his travels towards the Forest.

After traveling for a month, they reached the forest, the ground was cracked and cold, the old forest was also burned and felt nothing out of this world, it simply felt dead.
Richard lead his new warriors into battle against the undead legion, battle raged across the destroyed forest until he was slain in battle and so was his warriors.  He soon found himself awakening, filled with rage he viciously slew the Necromancer who raised him from the dead, Richard was cursed with undeath, upon fighting the necromancer he found a key to an old burried tomb, this is where he traveled in search for a tomb for a year, his skin was slowly falling apart until he found what he was looking for, finaly finding the Tomb his skin was pure white aswell as his hair being long and white.

He opened the tomb taking his sword in hand, he fought against the undead that dwelled deep inside the Tomb until he found what he was looking for, he entered a hall way, his skin felt as if it was freezing, he had came so far, there was no chance of letting the freezing cold turn him away, he stepped forward as the door behind him sealed shut.  He was in pure darkness untill he heard a noise of somthing speak to him.
He stood their listening for moments then started to keep walking on as his eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room. He found a coffin standing up covered in frost.
"Release me!" the voice shouted at him, he took his blade in hand which was slowly changing, the blade was freezing gold yet had a glowing blue encryption on it, the blade started to give off a blue Aura as Richards eyes began to widen.
"Release me, from this torment!" The unknown said again, Richard raised his blade into a impaling stance as he lunged at the Coffin while screaming out in anger.

Moments passed as Richard stared at the Coffin, it began to crack as it fell apart, then it was, a old body of encased in Ice feel from the Coffin as it cracked open and shattered across the floor, along with the armor the dead body once had.  Richard picked up the Crown and placed it upon his head, Richard began to hear voices in his head, they explained everything, Richard placed on his armor and exited the tomb and raised his old army from the dead along with the buried  dead in the forest.  He began a assult on the old Village he once was at, it was thriving and it seemed they finally got a wall constructed.  Richard Summoned Ghouls to build him a ram, they assulted the Village and slew everyone then raised them from the dead, he brought the Elder before him and personly tortured him.  The Village now lays in ruin, those who was not raised from the dead are but lost souls that roam lost.  What happened to Richard is unknown, all is known he is not the man he once was, he is a king of the Damned and follows only the Essence of Unith.
Extra things about him: His voice is very cold and demonic and he is 6'8 with a large build on him.  His personal aim is to claim his own land.
