Me thinking quietly to myself: So I should make more Patrons for my Modern Campaign this Saturday. I have designed The Undying pact to be the worst kind of creatures to be handing out conditional immortality-teenage boys.
Friend: They looked like a fucked up Edd Ed and Eddy.
Me: I have to go end myself now, good bye, I don’t like that you’re RIGHT. I haven’t thought about that show in fucking years and YET HERE IT IS.
The Deadmen are the Patrons of the Pact of the Undying. The lore goes they were 3 young men who died in an accident of sorts but simply did not remain in the grave for too long. Their Warlocks are given the same undying gift-eternal life; but not eternal youth. The Warlock is granted eternal life; nothing will end them. But unfortunately the body will eventually not be able to keep up and you are regarded as the true living dead-a literal walking rotting zombie.
The Deadmen themselves are often regarded as the more...problematic of the Undying Patronage. They don't care about their Warlocks, they still act like obstinate teen boys fixated on violence, fueled by hormones and stupid impulse. They often treat their warlocks badly, bullying them around-abusing their warlock's immortality by killing them in ridiculous ways for amusement or because they're bored. Eventually the warlock's body will break down completely and be unable to reform-turning into a blackish sludge; so they're not the IDEAL patrons to have if you're looking to live forever. Sometimes they don't even get that far, the Deadmen will tear them apart simply because they need 'new parts' because their own parts have rotted off and they need replacements. People often fall for them because they assume since they look so young, they'd be easy to work with-or the way they phrase eternal life that it's a pretty good deal. To their little gang, Warlocks are just their 'friends' who they take advantage of to bully and get to run errands for them that they don't want to do. They are still young men and can be manipulated-but they don't take well to being tricked once they realize it.
If you wanna be an Undying Warlock; get ANYONE but these 3 idiots. They're stinky.
And this beautiful tune here by The Deadmen Justin Jones. Once again, I instruct you to go buy all their/his albums if you haven't already, if ya know what's good for ya.
