Question about Elvis's appearance: why is he simple pale AND labeled "undead?" Why is he the exception but not the example? Sure he's special, but he is still afflicted with the dark sign, and thousands of years in isolation in an, "undead" state of being should do some critical damage to his corporeal body. Sunken eyes, the smell of death and decay, cold to the touch, not a beat within his body. Did he have time to collect "HUMANITIES" from the bovines? Can/could he un-hollow back to human form?
And what of his state of being? Me think he has ascended to AT LEAST a state of deity-hood. Just look at Gwyndolin from the first Dark Souls game. He's a bonafide god, albeit a corporeal one at that-but still a god for Gywn's sake! Or what of Gravelord Nito? Isolated in his crypt while his followers and anyone with a weapon carry out his bidding, to spread death. Do you believe giving thy protagonist the title of a "god" would render him too powerful? That we would lose interest in Undead Alvis? NEIGH! Take the gods of Anor Londo for example: Gwyn, Gwyndolin, Gwynevere (she left for Flan, god of, something related to light or heat), Nito, Witch of Izalith. Ok maybe not gods, but deities. The point I am trying to ask is, Does Elvis have any followers? Surely, if Lord Gywn's Firstborn (*Cough Cough Solaire), who was still at large during the time of the first dark souls, could have followers?
Some of the Dark Souls and other series lore can be pretty vague, so it's nice to see other people's interpretation of the lore, or whatever they can piece together to make a story out of it.
I always feel a touch indecisive about whether to laugh or pity someone when evidence of a higher power is thrust upon them for a few moments until I eventually fall to laughter at their philosophy to unbelieve such evidence. Still, at least the Bioshockers used the word 'evolve' right when they added a foreign DNA sequence into the closed system.
6746573 I can see your point, and, considering how even Undead like the Fume Knight, Orntstein, Smough, and Velstadt are fairly large, it would make sense. And I am glad that someone finally mentioned it, as I was going to show Alvis' few followers in the next chapter and have him go through a transformation since he would be considered a new deity in Drangleic with his powerful soul and age. I won't say what he is the deity of until the next chapter, however. And I think that he would only retain his deific height when in Drangleic, not in Equestria as it has slightly different natural laws. Although come to think of it...Gwyndolin is only slightly taller...And I do need him to be....hmm...I'll have to think about it.
Ho, it seems another good dark souls crossover is about!
Just as well, I've been missing these, and this one seems particularly interesting. Keep it up, friend, I look forward to the next chapter.
6746173 I shall endeavor to do so, although I make no guarantees on timely publishes. But a new chapter is on the way, that you can be certain of.

Oh that reminds me, if this is Drangleic, will we see the beloved npc's or their ponysona's? Hmmm, guess we'll find out . . . .
6747555 Go ahead, laugh. As to the evolve part, thanks. Glad someone pointed it out.
