Bongo Bill posted:Every demiurge presumably has a different kind of immortality. Mottom's is repeated bodily rejuvenation, Mammon's is just being loving old. Solomon David maybe magic-clones himself and demotes his aging predecessor to the council. It's nothing so complicated, just absolute mastery of the twin disciplines of Lookin' Good and Feelin' Fine

Dude's a level 20 monk straight from 3.5e. He also happens to be controlled by a typical 3.5e roleplayer.

Allison’s modus operandi is to rapidly do so many stupid audacious things that should get her killed that the consequences trip over each other before they fully catch up to her. Though to be fair some of the earliest examples were White Chain or Cio coming up with the plan so it’s a shared trait of their whole crew.

Things That the Fantasy KGB is Prepared for: dissident cells doing a subversive propaganda campaign where they stick up a bunch of posters in the lower slums advocating for not trusting the police Things That the Fantasy KGB is Not Prepared For: a barista crashing in through the palace walls hollering "im drunk as gently caress and have no idea whats going on!" pursued in short order by a senile dragon, a retired demiurge-turned-noodle-vendor, and Grammaw Om turning everything into topiary in a screaming rage

Allison-The-Demiurge would bypass ageing by looking in a mirror and telling her wrinkles to gently caress off, and they would.

Solomon-David's immortality is that he's so fuckin' smug that the reaper is all "hell no, not that insufferable prick, not today. I'll pick him up tomorrow when I'm ready for his bullshit." The reaper had said the same thing every morning of this kalpa.

I hope Solomon David stays a ball of overconfident smug right up to the moment his empire spontaneously dissolves into sugar cubes or something because his cultured temples get caught in the crossfire of open divine warfare.

I think his succession plan is one of those things that's always left up in the air and uncertain, so that Solomon can use it as another lever of control amongst his closest advisors and confidants. Often IRL this blows up in the Monarchs face (as I'm sure it will here as well), but the calculus on that is a bit different when you're also an immortal godking. I also hope Solomon never breaks his smugness kayfabe. Even with his dying breath and his empire collapsing around him, he'll collapse with the smuggest grin yet and whisper "all according to kekaku*" into the winds.
