.

WELCOME TO PROPAGANDA

here’s a link back to the main tournament

@died-but-not-dead-tournament​

Nimona Propaganda

We all love Nimona- if you haven’t seen it please do! She dies while shapeshifted as a phoenix, so after she sacrifices herself to save the city she’s eventually able to come back in the epilogue :’)

Hazel Levesque Propaganda

Hazel was dead for SEVENTY YEARS, forced to wander as the only spirit on the Plains of Asphodel with memories, while her also deceased mom couldn’t remember her, then eventually her half brother senses she doesn’t belong there and brings her back to life

Regina George Propaganda

Her name is Regina George. And she is a MASSIVE deal. Also, y'know, her heart stopped for fifteen seconds. Give this girl a crown!

Olaf Propaganda

died because his creator died, prompting a really sad mourning song about grief (but it was about his creator even though he was the one who died in front of Anna before she started singing)

Lord Viren Propaganda

I submitted some cool protagonists who fit this, but where are the undead antagonists? Lord Viren did lots of bad stuff, made a deal with an imprisoned startouch elf, was given commands by a giant worm, and fell to his death from the highest cliff I have ever seen. His daughter brings him back two years later but apparently it's only temporary, also he has extremely logical PTSD regarding his death- he had to go back up the mountain(?) he died on to retrieve an artifact to make him stay alive, and it doesn't go well. not sure what happens after that, I got too busy and keep forgetting to finish the season

Baymax Propaganda

His death scene was really sad :(

it actually took time and multiple attempts to properly bring him back

Zagreus Propaganda

He does this all the time. Also he's bisexual.

He wants to go see his mom 🥺 so he goes out and dies a lot and comes back home and dies again-

Yoo Joonghyuk Propaganda

he's a regressor, which means everytime he dies he can go back to a set point. he's also a protagonist, which means his story revolves around regressing aka dying all the time

Hes a regressor, which basically means that when he dies or fails, hes able to go back in time and start over, having numerous chances to attempt to improve the situation and save the lives of the people he cares about. However, over time, he eventually is just so full of trauma and is numb to the world that he stops caring about thise around him. Hes only convinced to open up thanks to the efforts of kim dokja, who has read his story (as yoo joonghyuk is originally a protagonist from dokjas favorite webnovel), as hes able to understand his story and all that hes been through. The number of times that joonghyuk has died is incredibly high, as aside from the (sorta spoilers: [1863]) regressions, there are also abilities within the story that grant people a way to die while still being able to revive somehow, which he absolutely took advantage of in other regressions

Yharon Propaganda

he probably wont get in but ouuuughhhh. his lore is incomplete as of now but basically he is one of the Dragons (or Auric Dragons but really there are no other types of dragons unless youre counting draconic offshoots). specifically, the dragon of rebirth. as such, while every other dragon reincarnates when they are laid to rest at the Dragon's Aerie as a new dragon with a new personality that has to actively dredge up memories of its old lives, Yharon is the same dragon every time, and doesn't need to be laid to rest at the aerie. as such, he is the "oldest" living dragon, with his consciousness persisting through countless cycles of death and rebirth. this is also what allowed him to survive when the ritual to consume an Auric Soul (especially powerful souls only dragons have) and ascend to godhood was discovered, resulting in a gold rush of powerful people killing dragons to ascend. he was thought to be purged with the rest of his kind, but in fact he was reborn as an egg sitting on the Aerie. when he was discovered, the Gods opted to offer the unborn dragon to a young man, who they wished to rule Azafure, the First City, as god-king. upon learning that not only did the Gods force people to worship them, but their power was borne from murder, the young man denied them, and rebelled. he was captured, and cast into the lava of the underworld (the lava works differently than in real life so he didnt Just Melt). the heat of the lava allowed yharon to hatch, and he lifted the young man out of the lava. when they were safe, yharon explained to him the genocide of his people. Yharim, as the young man would soon rename himself (he was so transmasc for this), resolved to slaughter the gods for their crimes, and yharon stood alongside him, as a guiding light for those who wished to rebel. so yeah hes come back a lot and i love him and i love calamity

Xena Propaganda

I feel like Xena dies or enters a near death state once a season but her most notable deaths are when she gets crucified by Julius Caesar a second time (during the ides of March) and she ascends to Christian heaven and enters a angel and demon war because her true love and companion Gabrielle was dragged to Christian hell. They both get brought to life by Eli (Timothy Omundson). The second most notable time is when Xena and Gabrielle fake their deaths and the death of Xena’s baby so that the Greek gods stop trying to kill them. Ares puts the two of them in a frozen grave (the baby is taken by one of Xena’s friends) and Xena and Gabrielle don’t get unfrozen for at least 18 years.

Wish Propaganda

it is i, obscure book submitter

wish has more than one life except?? nobody knows HOW MANY more than one life so (((:

angst

Will Turner Propaganda

They had to cut out his heart to bring him back and now he's cursed for all eternity (or until someone stabs his heart and gets their heart ripped out to replace it)

Westley Propaganda

Technically he was only mostly dead but still counts

yes he was only mostly dead but shut up

Yeah, yeah, he was only "Mostly Dead," but it still totally counts. The guy is impossibly perfect to a comical degree, but in such a charming way that he gets a free pass for it. He's so perfect that two people he literally beat to unconsciousness found his corpse and bought him a Miracle because he was the only person they knew who could help them get revenge on his murderer, and then he successfully led them on a three-man rampage against an entire army with nothing but a cloak and a wheelbarrow while he was still too weak to stand. He is the embodiment of the movie's core stated theme: "Death Cannot Stop True Love," and it sure as hell didn't stop HIM.

He was killed by having all of his life force sucked out of him but he was only mostly dead, so he was slightly alive. And so Miracle Max was able to revive him with a miracle pill!

But he is very much dead, even if it is only mostly dead.

Tom Paris Propaganda

Got in spaceship. Spaceship go fast. Too fast. His lungs don't work anymore because he is Evolving. Dies. Wakes up. Wants pepperoni pizza. Kidnaps the captain to also go fast. Turn into lizards. Have lizard sex creating lizard babies. Abandon them on a planet become human again forget about the whole thing. Every year we celebrate threshold day

Sandy Propaganda

My favorite Guardian (movie) and he gets killed by Pitch but gets brought back with the power of dreams and belief! Sad the others didn’t get the runtime to properly grieve (there’s a cut scene with some really sweet moments which I wish made it in)
