Death
Eventually everyone dies, regardless of power. Do not despair, however, because Death is not very final in The Vortex. If you do happen to die, you will arrive in front of the King Yemma's desk made of the fire mahogany trees of Melchior 7. King Yemma passes sentence on a soul based on its Alignment and actions during life, and its overall strength. The righteous are sent above to Heaven, the wicked below to Hell, and the heroics and powerful may opt to visit King Kai, the Afterlife's premiere instructor. Players are allowed to interact with a great many NPCs in the Afterlife (some are reserved however, such as Son Goku, Vegeta, and so on) and may have a unique roleplay experience before their character resumes their life and struggles.
Resurrection
After three calendar days of residing in Otherworld, players are given the option to return to the world of the living. For most, a reprieve back into life would be a very welcome chance, yet some crave the greater power increases only found in the Afterlife. If you do refuse the summons of the mortal coil to continue your training, you must wait for the next call three days later. Should you, in a rare case, return to life before these three days through a crack in Otherworld, an earned visit for heroic service, or as a result of being summoned as a ghost, your PL is reduced by 50% while in the world of the living.
Reincarnation
In The Vortex, you are limited to a maximum of three characters. Period. However, some players grow tired of the same characters after a long time of developing them. Should that character meet an unfortunate end in battle, suicide, or other convoluted situation, the player may optionally have said character reincarnated. Reincarnated characters are, in effect, completely new. They do not possess any of the memories, experiences, or knowledge of their previous life. Your Power Level is reduced by half, you must reorganize your stat percentages into a new combination, choose a new trait and set of abilities, and you may retain two of your current techniques if you choose to become reincarnated. With that said, you may return as a new race, gender, or both if you choose to be reincarnated. There is no limit on how many times a character may be reincarnated, yet if this gets to be an every other day practice, King Yemma might refuse to allow your soul to be recycled.
