DEATH
So you died. Again. Great job! The good news is, you can still come back to whatever semblance of life you had here in Beacon. Shortly after your death, your body will vanish, only to reappear a few days later, (now "alive",) on one of the pews in the church. The bad news is, you can't just do this forever.
Your first death is a freebie. Your character comes back just as they were, minus the injuries/conditions that killed them in the first place. Starting at their second death, however, characters will begin to experience consequences. They'll still come back, just not quite as they were before. Perhaps something's missing, or broken, or drastically changed. It can be a body part, a sense, an aspect of their personality. Whatever it is, something is wrong now. And as far as anyone knows, there's no way to fix it.
What's more, these effects continue to stack, growing worse each time a character dies. For example, after four deaths, that's three separate alterations, each one more serious than the last. The first consequence might be something small (e.g. a change in hair color), but the second will be a bit worse (e.g. colorblindness), and the third even worse (e.g. losing memories of friends from home), and so on.
In addition to these personal changes, characters may notice that their lanterns are beginning to look a little shabby as well. There's probably some sort of connection there.
Regardless of how many times a character has died, they will always revive in the church at least a day after their death. Typically, characters will revive 2-3 days after their death, but feel free to take liberties with the timing.

character: Rosinante Donquixote
death number: 1!!
date of death: 7/5/19
date of revival: 7/7/19
consequence: that freebie tho
Being massively clumsy, Rosinante trips and falls for the umpteenth time since arrival. This time he just happens to have the bad luck of smashing his lantern on the rocky shoreline in the process of the fall. Whoopsie doodle.
no subject
As is typical, (or will be, as he has been The First To Die,) Rosinante will wake up a couple of days later, seated on a church pew in the cathedral's sanctuary. He's toward the front, and he's facing that direction, so perhaps, if he looks quickly enough, he'll see the thick metal trapdoor (now revealed since the wood has been hacked off) slowly closing.
It does not swing from one hinge, as most trapdoors do, but rather slides directly up and down on a set of four pistons at its corners. Disappearing from its edge into the hole below is a long-fingered, jet-black hand. Once it vanishes into the deeper darkness below the door, the heavy metal square lowers back into place.

death number: Baby's first.
date of death: Nov. 27th.
date of revival: Dec. 5th.
manner of death: M.K.'s greatest fear is that he doesn't deserve a second chance at life, so the green-eyed spirits monopolize on that fear and coerce him into a kamikaze move. Dies protecting Masaomi.

character: Masaomi Kida
death number: 1
date of death: Feb 4
date of revival: Feb 7
manner of death: I am veeeery interested in having Masaomi be the first (or one of the first) to join the parade. He'll be at the school when he hears the celebration and checks it out. I'm not sure how to turn this into a log without killing off other characters yet, so I have nothing to link. But I wanted to make sure the mods knew I was interested in this!
consequence: First death freebie, but if dying to the parade sets off its own specific consequence, I'm super down.
cw: self-mutilation and skin loss
If it hurts, its an agony in the very back of his mind as he tears his body apart in the midst of his dancing and singing. His skin is the problem: it has to go, and go it shall. As pieces of himself are discarded behind his dripping figure, he'll catch glimpses of something green and glowing being tossed back and forth between the spirits, like a baton being passed. It seems like it might be a rock, but its hard to tell. And eventually, having lost quite a lot of blood, his body simply gives out, and his lantern is trampled along with his bones. Masaomi is dust.

date of revival: 03/13/2020
manner of death: Forgetting they have knives on their person and getting EATEN whoops XD
consequence: I am picking my poison today because I started writing options for you to pick from and got carried away with this idea. The spirit that ate them and then got killed is now an additional resident in Soldat's head, like the Sergeant and the Asset. And it is always hungry. And urging them to eat anything and everything all the time. That book? Tasty. Their gun oil? Great chaser. Rock? Crush that up with the metal hand and it's like candy! This will be resistible, it's just a VOICE and an increased feeling of hunger, but ya know, they might not always be paying attention >.>
