A couple ideas:Champions UnbornThe world has been threatened by a demon lord's far-ranging plans time and again, sometimes being thwarted by great heroes and other times plunging the world into eras of darkness.This generation's heroes discovered the endless nature of the fight and struck on a great idea: sneak into the underworld itself and bring back the heroes of the past. They succeeded before the demon lord's forces caught up to them, but never realized the souls of their predecessors had already drunk from the river Lethe.So now they're undead inhabiting their own ancient bodies without only the faintest fragment of their old memory or power. Can they determine who raised them and fill their modern counterpart's shoes? Who has a memory long enough to tell them of their past lives? Can they defeat the demon lord once and for all?An Affront to the GodsThe elven "Shining Empire" has long desired to purge the world of usurper races, but few believed they'd ever have the opportunity. However, their archmagi found the god of death in a moment of weakness and bound him in their capital city, chaining him to a mortal form with the help of ancient nameless powers.Now, with legions of immortal soldiers at their command and terrible plagues sweeping through the "usurpers" lands, the archmagi think themselves above the gods. The goddess of the sun, however, remembers Death's war against the Lord of Undeath in ancient times. As beings completely outside the natural order, the undead made mockery of Death's powers and had to be burned away by the sun.A cadre of her most loyal followers made their way into the depths of the earth, recovering the skull of the Lord of Undeath. Now undead themselves, their memories have been stolen away by the Lethe... or the Lord of Undeath himself.What can they trust: the cryptic notes in a spell book one of them carries or the skull that claims to know the secrets to unthrone the God of Death? Why do they carry holy symbols that now burn them? Will their power to kill the unkillable be enough to turn the tide against the immortals of the Shining Empire? What dark powers did the archmagi call on and why do their immortals return slightly different every time they escape death?Cheers!Kinak</blockquote>
