So, little update on the character: I'm going for a scarecrow/harvest aesthetic. Possibly making them an undead fey.
That's cool and it fits well. The Harvest aesthetic is always awesome but I have trouble coming up with good scarecrow themed characters. Do you know what role the pumpkins will play in your design?
Not yet. I was thinking of not making him a scarecrow himself, but he surrounds himself with them.
So, this is kinda weird, but I was thinking he would, just like a scarecrow, be mimicking a human to elicit a specific reaction from those around him. He wears a wax mask and gloves that are indistinguishable from a normal human's face and hands, but when struck his true nature is revealed, but until then not even truesight will expose him.
That is an interesting idea. Do you know why he disguises himself, what reaction he is going for? If you want to stay close to the scarecrow theme you could make him a fear eater. Maybe he purposefully tries to get his victims to unmask him so that he can taste their succulent fear and shock. What if his human disguise is the size of a normal man, but he is actually a giant horrifying bird that fits in the small suit and when it is removed his true size is revealed? This character has a great Halloween theme, crows, harvest, even masks.
I'm just trying to help flesh out the character. If you would rather reveal information organically through roleplay then you don't have to take any of this.
bro how is your feedback so good, like every time. Mindblowing. Mine isn't anywhere as helpful. As seen below
Used by a necromancy cult to scare visitors away. The cult was disbanded by the local authorities, but ambient magical energy remained and animated the creature.

I like the ideas, but I want to keep some concepts on the back burner so I can reveal them through RP.
I’m a Christian too, but I think as long as you don’t actually deal with Satanism, dabbling in white magic (like Wicca) or psychic powers is ok. This is just my own personal opinion though, so I don’t expect everyone to agree with me.
I’m curious, have you ever seen or met someone who was a Satanist? Because in my experience I’ve only seen people called Satanists, and never seen a “real” one. (Like when some Christians say that I and others are Satanist for being/siding with LGBTQIA+ people and stuff like that)
Do y'all actually know what Satanism is? Because it actually has literally nothing to do with the devil and everything to do with being a decent person.
The Seven Tenants of Satanism essentially boil down to: don't be an a**hole. That's all it is.
No. I did not know that. I was taught the opposite.
I was too. My biological father's family is extremely religious (two of my cousins are on their missions), so I was forced to go to church occasionally.
I always thought this, that there’s really no one who worships a Devil, it’s just something used to portray someone with disagreements or someone who isn’t religious and Evil
There are Satanists who do worship Satan. I have listened to some, read about them and seen them. They do exist. You are right though in that there are some people who call things Satanic because they think it is evil. There are plenty of evil things that aren’t Satanic and there are plenty of things that have been called Satanic but obviously aren’t, like DND and heavy metal. Please don’t lump all Christians under the category of people who throw the term “Satanic” about.

Ooh, and maybe it’s not necessarily just one creature. More like an undead collective of fractured souls, constantly in conflict with each other for control of the scarecrow’s body.
Why the pumpkin head in particular? Because the necromancers thought it was scary, maybe. Or they grew pumpkins! I dunno.

Maybe every rag that makes up the scarecrows outfit represents one of the fractured souls. Each scrap is the remainder of a lost spirit stitched together into one form. An old grandmother's quilt, a newborn's swaddle, a miner's coal stained jacket, a young girl's red scarf, a woodsman's jacket, a patch on the knee of a rambunctious boy. Maybe the souls of an entire town have been stitched together after a great tragedy using the little cloth mementos of their life.
For the pumpkins, maybe look into vampire vegetables. A real thing from folklore.

Perfect. And so it’s this monstrous undead amalgamation of a whole town, cursed to destruction by some unexplained force. The monster has developed a warped form of consciousness, but it’s been driven to madness by the voices in its head.

Exactly. So many voices, so many memories, all entangled by shared experiences but seen through different eyes. Madness would be simply unavoidable.

I just read a lot and discuss art. I'm really just asking questions and then trying to answer them.

Well good sir or madam, or [third option filler], you are very big brain
Yeah, sorry about that. Didn't mean to resurface a topic after everyone was finished. We should probably move on.
Smart. You've got a great concept.
Why thank you.
