"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them"

Vessels is a classification of immortal entities with human form in my forever war world building. They were once humans from a pre civilization long before recorded history, but chosen as appropriate vessels to preserve fragments of a dead, nameless god against their volitions.

There are currently around 8 vessels, each represents an aspect of the god corpse: heart, brain, eyes, bones, muscles etc.

Although these properties vary between different vessels, they have in common: strength, durability, reflex and speed that surpasses any human. (To put in warhammer terms, they are the primarchs of the setting)

It is not physically possible to kill a vessel, as they possess unnatural regeneration that allows them to recover from all forms of damage. It is best recommended to attempt psychological methods to break their mind, or use alchemical/ abyssal-origin relics to sedate their healing factor (temporarily). Cease all attempts to kill them as you can only try to contain them.

Cursed to forever walk the earth, some chose to embody hope, some embraced psychosis or worship; this one however, embodied war.

Aleski (mc). Vessel of the heart, representing memory and identity, and has the strongest healing factor out of all Vessels

His ‘special’ form involves tapping into his pre-amnesia personality, the ‘mask of self’ slowly grows over his face until fully covered. He wears no mask because a manifestation of war needs no face.
