Cursed Vessel[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
Multiple types of vessels together, [1] |
Cursed Vessels have the appearance of the original race who has consumed the cursed object, but generally having markings around their face and arms, or having other unnatural features.
History[edit]
Cursed Vessels are born from incarnation, which happens when the remains of a sorcerer have become a cursed object and are ingested by someone. It is best described as the fusion between a cursed object and human flesh. In most cases, the host's body is completely taken over and their consciousness is completely suppressed. The incarnated individual receives memories, knowledge and common sense from their vessel's brains.
Attitudes and Beliefs[edit]
Cursed Vessels almost always have some form of objective, making sure that when they revive they will chase this goal even if it means killing everything in their sight.
Cursed Vessel Names[edit]
Cursed Vessels don't have a specific set of names, just using their original name that they had when alive.

Owner's Will. When you possessed your body, the host wasn't willing to give the body to you so it would try to stop you by limiting your power.

Destruction of Will. There is a way to remove the host's will to live completely, by utilizing this method you can submerge the body into darkness. The first thing you must do is submerge yourself in a pool full of blood during an entire short rest. The second thing is to kill a loved one of said creature using only its features, or destroying the thing it was most affectionate towards in life. After doing both things, their soul will sink in the darkness and they shall lose their will to life. You then become a Complete Vessel.
