Dragon: The Embers Core Book - MrGone's Character Sheets

Resurrection
Resurrection
When a member of the Oroboroi
suffers that last aggravated wound, she dies.
Each and every wound she has suffered
becomes resistant (see page XX in this
chapter) and her consciousness is instantly
teleported to the Twilight vicinity of their
Heart.
Her body continues to heal at the
normal (albeit incredibly slow) rate, but she
cannot return to her body until at least three
of her wounds have healed. While in this
state, it is impossible for the Dragon to
produce Breath, but on the bright side she
does not need to pay Breath each day to
stave off hunger. In the meantime the
Dragon is free to explore the spectral
reflection of her Lair and converse with any
of her Heart’s lingering Antecedents.
Dragons that die of starvation
permanently lose a dot of Furnace during
this process, as well as two dots of Aspects
and any attributes that would exceed the
limit after said loss of Furnace. Without a
constant supply of fuel the Furnace just
cannot continue burning at that temperature.
This is also a defense mechanism for the
Dragon; by dimming the Furnace it becomes
less likely she will starve again.
Once the body is ready, the Dragon
is ripped out of Twilight and returned to life
once more. She may not be the only one to
take this trip, though.

The above situation assumes the Dragon
perished in the Daylight (or rather, the
material world). Should a Dragon perish
when traveling the Dream Realm, or any
other supernatural realm, her body is
lost. Unable to return to the Daylight,
reconstruction cannot be initiated and the
Dragon effectively plays her Last Hand.
Or maybe her mind and soul can’t get
back to her body without her body. A
catch twenty-two as is were.
There is one exception. If a Lucid
Dreamer slays a Dragon within her
dreamscape (in the Dreamtide, of
course), a shard of that Dragon imbeds
itself in her psyche. The following
morning that Dreamer is destined to lose
a piece of himself (usually by vomiting),
that piece being the Dragon’s fragment
that became lodged the previous night.
This is just enough of the Dragon’s body
to instigate Resurrection.
The The Antecedent
For those that are stricken with the
Last Hand, the region around their Heart
becomes their permanent residence.
Because they are those that owned the heart
before, they are called Antecedents. Unlike
the Oroboroi awaiting resurrection’s renewal,
an Antecedent must find ways to fend for
himself.
Though not TECHNICALLY ghosts,
Antecedents gain access to two nonmanifesting
Numina from the World of
Darkness Rulebook, pages 210-212. These
Numina use Breath in place of Essence. An
Antecedent garners Breath in the same way
that a living Dragon does, though he
possesses the advantage of spectrally
charged consumables (which are worth
triple Calories) and the disadvantage of an
anchor. As a result, the Twilight regions
around a Dragon’s Heart are usually barren
and bleak.
Antecedents must pay up Breath
each day to avoid starving to death… or
rather second death. While he can remain in
the vicinity of his Heart when he has Breath,
should he let his own Furnace burn out his
anchoring dissolves, and he slips helplessly
into the Underworld. While there are
rumors that an Antecedent can come back
from such a fate, such action is wildly
unlikely. For each day an Antecedent does
