I’m thinking about this, does it read the hormones you have?
Or is it full fantasy it reads your soul?? Now that will be great no more doubting, just contact your local necromancer for a quick regeneration spell !
In cosmere its full soul. Someone gained access to one source of magical healing and it healed him from being afab. The catch is that it’s a pain in the ass to have the ability to heal others
The second is how I’d personally rule True Resurrection recreating a body that no longer exists or is too damaged to use. Same with how you look when Astral Projecting.
My personal take on it is this. Since it requires the body, normal Resurrection rebuilds the body from the body’s own blueprint then asks the Soul to return to it. So diseases, missing limbs/organs, body mods, etc. get “fixed” from the body’s POV and you’re left with what your body would be at that age if nothing prior had happened to it. Then you’d be contacted in your respective afterlife and asked if you want to come back.
True Resurrection contacts you first and then if you agree to come back looks to the Soul to create the appropriate vessel for your return.
So a trans woman would be Resurrected in the man’s body she was born in. But would be True Resurrected as the woman she always was inside.
So I’m just picturing a Church of Bahamut using True Resurrection to revive one of their mightiest heroes from a time long passed. Who legends say was a mountain of a man almost seven feet tall and who was so strong he could rip a man in half with his bare hands. Only for an absolutely tiny woman to appear before them because when the hero died in battle and arrived in the afterlife that’s when she finally saw her true self that she’d been running from all that time. She absolutely can still rip a man in half with her bare hands of course because her abilities wouldn’t change.
I feel your idea is a bit of, when the hero resurrects she comes out as a 2 m gigantic woman sculpted like an amazon no tiny woman as after the years she I guess she probably accepts herself as warrior and women
Although I guess that will depend on the person maybe she really hated fighting
I’m a sucker for characters where what they look like is entirely opposite of what they do. Giant bear men being squishy/cuddly support mages, a girl who’s all of 5’ -3" effortlessly swinging around a sword bigger than she is, that kind of thing. I like characters that embody the contradiction between my smol bean enby heart and my large bear frame.
So the way this character went in my head was she hated fighting but did so out of a sense of duty that she leaned into in order to quiet the voices in her head telling her something was wrong inside. Then in the years after death the stories of her got exaggerated until when they called on her to save the world again they were expecting someone twice the size that she even was when she was alive. But that’s again entirely because I love the idea of them expecting this 2m+ behemoth of a man, getting what looks like a waifish little princess, but still having the strength that caused her image in legend over the years to warp into that behemoth.
Edit: my phone keyboard apparently added trap between 2m and behemoth and I didn’t notice it. I also added a bit about my own identity that goes into why I love these characters.
