A dead body given life again by dark powers. Often such a creature is someone of high rank and great power striving for eternal life through the use of dark forces to bind their consciousness to various phylactery and thereby achieve a form of immortality. Unlike zombies, which are often depicted as mindless, part of a hivemind or under the control of another, a lich retains independent thought and is as intelligent as it was prior to its transformation. Liches are always powerful magic users and are often created through various schools of magic such as necromancy, hexcraft, black magic, Vooo Doo ect.
Physical Traits:
liches can be distinguished from other undead by their:
- phylactery: Items of the lich's choosing into which they imbue their soul, giving them immortality until the phylactery is destroyed.
- Liches are often decayed to the point of being almost completely skeletal. (this is represented through skeletal facepaint)
- Liches are known to carry around a staff. often covered with artifacts, gemstones, runes and bones.
- Liches are always magic users and this is shown through their school of magic such as necromancy, Arcane, Abyssal, Eldrich, Vooo Doo ect.
