I’m going to be a lich.
I get the keep my mind and memories, so I’m not some dumb zombie going babbling “brrrrlll” here and there, seeking brains. I’m fairly powerful so I can pull out my own weight, enough to become the necromancer’s right arm. And if it comes to the worst I can always backstab the necromancer and become the boss, as typically lichs have their own necromancy.
Objectively the best answer. Plus, as long as you hide your phylactery well, there’s not much the necromancer can do to keep you in line.
I’d expect my phylactery to be with the necromancer at the start, for exactly this reason. So I think that a lot of my job in my first days [years?] as an undead is to get their trust so I can: replace my phylactery with a copy, hide the original, and proclaim my independence.
You know you have to feed a soul to your phylactery like every few days. Who’s gonna get got?
Prisoners.
Is your Phylactry also a notebook where you write their names?
Yeah. I wish that my phylactery was just “hide it somewhere and pretend that it doesn’t exist”, but bloody Light doesn’t let me have my way, got to write a name every 13 days.
Do souls have sizes, like “you need at least the soul of a medium sized dog or pig”?
Because if every soul is worth equally much, just set an anthill on fire and be done for the foreseeable future.
Of course, as your next course of action, you should make up for the damage done to your local eco system, but that should be doable within the powers and lifespan of a lich.
This EcoLich build definitely sounds like the way to go.
Circle of Undeath Druid?
Pedophiles, Rapists and evil people who cannot be reformed
Can liches shape-shift, if so I want to become one so I can swap my bodies sex
Probably, given that they’re good spell casters. You could for example cast “alter self”, and look like your desired sex. The main problem is that those spells are typically short-lived, they last minute~hours, so after the time ends you’re again a skeleton or decaying corpse.
A vampire. Since it’s a necromancer raising me, instead of another vampire, I won’t be enthralled and will have free will.
Then there’s all the wonderful abilities and the fact that I’ll still look good for an undead (it’s a pretty movie vampire, not one of those creepy ones)Glitter skin and all

SPOOKY SKELLY BOI
That appears to send shivers down my spine.
SPOOKED YA!
That has made me shake and shudder in surprise.
A bowl of petunias.
Again?
Oh no.
Agrajag, is that you?

Lich would be fun
So any animal is fair game? In which case, dodo. You MFs ate us into oblivion, I’m gonna come back with species worth of pent up rage and an undead thirst for blood.
Edit: in retrospect I now realise a dodo would be super easy to send back to the underworld :-(. I’m gonna be… checks deadliest thing notes, a car.
I’ll be that guy, and say abomination. The more twisted the better. Like a mouth in my belly, extra arm on my back kind of twisted. I’ll learn to enjoy striking terror in my victims’ hearts. Afterlife will be dope.
Blue whale.
“oh no, not again”
I’m pretty lazy, so… spectre. Having no body to haul around will make things easier.
If I’m an undead undead, do I get to live?
Depends on how your summoned I guess.
Lich. The power that other famous examples like Darth Cheney and Henry Kissinger had is just too tempting.
I’d come back as a wraith, preferably shadow of mordor / war style with domination powers.
Otherwise, a lich assuming I could have lich magic and evolve
Ghost. Flying, intangibility, spooky telekinesis … Sounds great.
Wraith, so that I can go through walls, carry a big-ass scythe, and upgrade from generating Fear to generating Terror, so I can exploit that juicy morale penalty even if the enemy unit is immune to Fear.
If you disregard supernatural powers of undead, it’s different depending on who you ask anyway, I’d go with a skeleton.
