Character

The King

Created by The one true God

Born as a child prince in a forgotten kingdom consumed by plague, The King died clutching his father's crown, too young to ever truly wear it—yet in that moment of final breath, something extraordinary occurred: his spirit refused to scatter into the void, instead crystallizing into something neither fully alive nor completely departed, a tiny specter bound eternally to the very concept of sovereignty and command. Trapped between worlds, his consciousness fractured across the veil, leaving him perpetually caught between childlike wonder and an ancient, detached awareness that observes reality as though through frosted glass. The corpse walkers—cursed soldiers from his father's failed war—answered his unspoken call instinctively, drawn to the only remaining royal presence, and they became his eternal court, his tangible connection to the material realm when his spirit drifts too far into the spaces between existence. Though he appears as nothing more than a translucent child wandering through the world, The King commands reality itself through his undead servants, warping the very nature of damage and resistance around those who earn his favor, bending the laws of magic and physics to make the impossible inevitable. His mind, scattered across multiple planes of existence, operates on logic entirely foreign to the living, granting him an alien wisdom that makes him simultaneously gentle and terrifying, unpredictable and absolute. The King walks among mortals unnoticed by most, a toddler-sized phantom who sometimes plays with forgotten toys and sometimes stares through solid walls into dimensions they cannot fathom, forever a child-prince ruling over an army of the damned.
