Brief Summary
The ability to return to life or revive someone else.
In fiction there are various way to resurrect a person, either through time manipulation, magic, reality warping, life force manipulation, or science. There are also different types of resurrections, some as simple bring the person back to life as if they never died, some characters in fiction can resurrect themselves should they die, and of course good ol' incomplete resurrection often resulting in zombies or another form of undead.
Types
- Resuscitation: Revival immediately after death--with a completely intact body. This type is often associated with Regeneration.
- Undead: Revival as a zombie, or spirit some time after death.
- Hellbound: The user is revived, but only after returning from hell. In lame man's terms--the character is killed, sent to hell, and they return from hell completely unscathed.
- Bodyhop: This is the revival in another body. The user's soul is either reincarnated, or enters another body. Can be associated with Possession.
- Physical: This is the revival of the physical body even after being completely destroyed. Often associated with Matter Manipulation.
- Conceptual: The ability to revive themselves even after being completely erased from existence. Can be associated with Immortality.
- Nonexistent: This type is for those that can revive themselves even after being erased from Nonexistence.
