    Default Joke character survived longer than expected, aged to death

    This death actually happened months ago, but I didn't bother writing this post until now. I created the orcish barbarian Curiosity for the sole purpose of making a "curiosity killed the cat" screenshot (Did anybody get it? Was it too subtle?).

    Well, he got surprisingly far. I found without any scumming a wand of wish and ring of djinni summoning. I thought that because I had killed a cat already, I'd kill the cat lord and make a thread titled "Curiosity killed the cat lord" about it. I got up to the wall of flames, and didn't feel like facing the Snake from Beyond yet, so I decided to go back to the tomb of the high kings to retrieve the ring.

    There I stupidly decided to melee a ghost lord. Remember, I was an orc. I got it down to critically injured when it suddenly decided to blind-rage. Every hit either missed me or did no damage... except one that punched through my armour. I looked at my age, and saw that I was "dead". Oh no. One mercy turn left to somehow make myself younger. I tried drinking an unidentified potion in the hopes that it would be of youth. "You feel altered."

            As a child you were very active and imitated the hunters and
     warriors of your tribe at all opportunities.
            In your youth you strived very hard to become the best warrior in
