The very first attempt of making a custom sprite character. I can't tell you how many times I had to go back and forth with the details on this guy. It went through several edits one after the other but eventually I was satisfied with what I had. Thus the Servant of the Flame was made; second-in-command to Captain Flameheart.

The Servant's role in the crossover used to have more significance in the story, including being the section's final boss. However I pushed him back to an important supporting role, setting up a plan to secure the pirate's life from the three whose roaming presence threatens their ideology of "Pirates for All Eternity". Also it'd be a pretty boring final boss, all things considered.

Also Reaper Bird important; wooden spies for the Reapers across the 2022 Adventure storyline.

he's thoughtful, he's kind, beautiful, elegant, charming, but one thing he is not. is smooth

I was on a call with a friend last night where I was streaming some gameplay when shenanigans ensued which spawned this nonsense.

For context, The Servant had Raven kidnapped to use her talents, thinking it would be no different from the previous times he had captured other witches of the Order... Only for him to be proven wrong and end up stuck with a chaotic, hyperactive mischievous little goblin-shaped thorn in his side. No worries though she's harmless... (well...mostly)

Contemplating: Necromancy and the Utility of the Skeleton

From aesthetics alone the skeleton does many things for the necromancer. A clear benefit is simply in the knowledge of the subject being a dead thing in and of itself. With any variation of the corpse from zombie to revenant there can be doubts at a glance as to what one is dealing with but moving bones are distinct at most distances and let a person know that any harm they deal to it, accidental or otherwise, wont hurt a living thing. On the other side, the person seeing the skeleton will know that it won't feel pain and has no nervous system holding it back in how strong it will strike someone else. This functions as a form of deterrence from combat as well as telegraphs the danger of handling the skeleton beyond its designated task.

The skeleton, contrary to common sense, is less cost effective than a zombie in terms of raising. The mechanism of imprinting magic upon a corpse via its soulless form means that with less material there, there is more work and more raw magical structure needed to maintain the skeleton. This being said, the zombie will decay and are a short term solution sonits better to invest as a skeleton will be cost effective over time and has the added benefit of not smelling awful. Many an old necromancer cut their noses off and burned their sinuses not just to resemble a corpse in their horde as camouflage, but more so to kill the smell of working with so many zombies.

At an average weight of 20 pounds, the human skeleton is very portable if a single servant is needed and one is conserving their magic between uses. This does covert an unit of 100 servants to about a ton, which could staff a mansion easily and handle all tasks besides handling guests and the cooking for obvious reasons. Like with other skeletons, a human skeleton can utilize their ribs as a means of storage or carrying tools to keep their hands free. Special tools could easily be made for a gardener or a maid to reach in and tend to their tasks while having free hands and look presentable if a chest cover is used to tastefully hide dirty or worn tools.

Besides issues of durability which can be addressed with coatings and reinforcements to the structure of the skeleton, bones tend to still be sturdy even when dry and set, only they cannot self-repair so any damage will need prevented or filled as it occurs. Skeletons are not an unlimited resource, as are bodies in general, but those gathered and maintained properly in a closed and respectful environment can last a lifetime.

While I still love that the servant uses they/them canonically I think using he/him for them is fine too because i do it in the same way people call their boats she/her.
