Far be it from me to turn down a challenge you miserable runt. [....Well, that's...promising.]
Here friends, what do you think of this? There's no such thing as birthright that's recognized by nature, and it's a notion the weak use as a trick to keep themselves in power they didn't earn. To hear a person claiming they're you're better when it's clear they're helpless on their own, that's plain foolishness, isn't it? And yet there's worlds where such ineffectual men are kings and the people are made to believe that it's natural and just for the throne to grant power alone. And they suffer for it because when the king is weak he must resort to underhanded means to ensure nobody's more powerful than him.
But that doesn't have a damn thing to do with this world because it doesn't work like that here. So who else thinks that anyone who crows about their title in this world is only fooling themselves? Pokemon give power where it's earned by effort or skill. Where it's not, the unfit can't rise to where anyone would suffer beneath them. And the rest of us are free to show them their natural place when they think their hollow claims to good breeding make them any better than another. A place in a pool, for example.
[...That should probably offer a clue to what this unabashed craziness is about, if the fact that it goes up about ten minutes after a post from Saionji doesn't give it enough context. I'm...I'm sorry, guys.]

How should I know whether it works one way or another where you come from? I'm not anything made of human will or whatever: I was alive, I died, then I was summoned back as a spirit. Simple.

...The whole spirit thing, not the spelling.]
Died as a human? How?
[text]
Died as a demigod, technically. But that's really down to a matter of semantics, so it doesn't make a difference.
As for 'how', I got a fucking spear thrown at me. Pretty straightforward.

What does being dead feel like?
[Like, properly dead. For him it doesn't feel like anything but then he came here so.]
[text]
I don't know. Felt like nothing, I guess.

What makes you so special in death of all things?
[text]
People like me, who in life accomplished things that made them well known and renowned heroes of legend? They're prevented from going to any sort of afterlife and instead get committed to an otherworldly record of sorts called the Throne of Heroes.
From there, we can be summoned back to the living world like I was.
