Vigor Mortis

On a Sky Island in the city Sky Hope lives a Street Urchin with no meaningful talent in anything. After an attempt to steal bread goes wrong, she discovers her talent - Necromancy.

Vigor Mortis is the name of a Quest by Thundamoo, ongoing as of February 14th, 2021. The quest can be found here; while the website has a lot of NSFW stuff, this quest itself is SFW. Unlike the only other quest Thundamoo ran, Vigor Mortis has no dice rolling. The QM is reposting Vigor Mortis as a regular story (with some tweaks) here:.

"Maybe having parents wasn't all it was cracked up to be after all."
 * Abusive Parent: Grig beats his son.


 * Creepy Child: Vita thinks she is 16, but has yet to go through puberty because of malnutrition. She is also a soul eating necromancer, which creeps Rowan out. Rowan is relieved that mind controlling living people is outside Vita's natural talent. Norah doesn't know that Vita is a necromancer and she still finds Vita spooky.
 * Justified Criminal: Lyn, Vita, and Rowan. Rowan hasn't really done much that is out right illegal except help a necromancer.
 * Necromancy
 * Fat and Skinny: Frigs and Squigs.
 * Sky Island: Hasn't been particularly important. One thing of note is that "night" only exists when one sky island is in the shadow of another island.
 * Spit Take: Wasn't nice of Rowan to keep spitting on Vita in the chapter The Mistwatcher.
 * Street Urchin: The kids that Rowan and Lyn take care of. Vita counts too.
 * Traumatic Superpower Awakening: Vita discovers she is a natural mage as she is getting beaten to death.
 * Whatevermancy: Going beyond necromancy, the QM is very fond of ending types of magic in 'mancy'. The only type of magic that has showed up that doesn't have that name is chaos magic, which is just shooting raw magic.
 * Your Soul Is Mine: Types two and two B. Vita can rip the souls out of living things. From there she can eat it or use the soul and corpse to create an undead slave. She can also do the same thing if the creature dies before she rips their soul out (in which case the soul is probably floating above the corpse), but in such cases she has to get the soul before the Mistwatcher takes it.
