Skulduggery Pleasant Dead Men Reborn is, quite obviously, an RP set in the fictional universe of Skulduggery Pleasant. At the moment it is being run and GM'ed by the Troper Michael Flame without a current co-GM.
This RP is set after the book Death Bringer and continues from there on. Basically, the players have formed a new group of Dead Men called 'Ascension Group Phoenix' and have been ordered by the Elders of Ireland to set out for Germany and capture the notorious Billy Ray-Sanguine and the possesed Tanith Low.
Unfortunately, in their bid to fulfil the Elder's agenda, the reborn Dead Men must battle against the forces of darkness in far away lands.
The Tropers currently playing are: Big Daddy P as Ezekiel Cohl, Abicith as Drail Flare, Emi 010 as Sophia Rose, bamack 1 as Macht Viel, whizzerd as Balor Dispatch and Michael Flame as Raven Viel.

Tropes That Apply to This RP Thus Far:
- Aerith and Bob: The group's members are Veil, Ezekiel, Balor, Drail, Vier and Sophia.
- A Good Name for a Rock Band: Averted, as the decision is unanimous among the group that 'Ascension Group Phoenix' is the name of a bad cover band.
- Badass in a Nice Suit: Cohl.
- Black Dude Dies First: Subverted, but who is the first person to sustain a life threatening wound? Cohl.
- Combat Pragmatist: Ezekiel Cohl will not play nice with you.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Sophia is a Necromancer, but she's one of the nicest people on the team.
- Elemental Powers: Elementals and Necromancers have these.
- Blow You Away: Balor's speciality.
- Casting a Shadow: Sophia.
- Dishing Out Dirt: Earth Mage Mabuse. Wolf is also notable for having earth powers much stronger then the typical elemental.
- Playing with Fire: Drail's speciality.
- Jack of All Stats: Vier is well balanced in all four of the elemental branches.
- Last-Name Basis: Ezekiel 'Cohl' and Macht 'Vier'
- Leeroy Jenkins: Cohl charging headfirst into enemy fire and performing fancy acrobatics.
- Meaningful Name: Justified since the characters choose their own names. Raven's appearance inspired his name, Macht Vier means 'powers four', Drail Flare is proficient with fire, and Balor Dispatch used to be a police officer.
- Oh, Crap!: Mabuse the Geomancer, played by BigDaddyP.
- Older Than They Look: A carry over from the source material.
- Professional Killer: Mabuse, although quite hotblooded about it.
- Running Gag: Macht Vier`s German name. Although he's British everyone talks German to him.
- Smurfette Principle: Ascension Group Phoenix is composed of six members, and only one of them, Sophia, is a girl.
- Supernatural Gold Eyes: When Cohl gets serious.
- Taken for Granite: Attempted by Mabuse, defied by AGP.
- This Is Gonna Suck: Ascension Group Phoenix being sniped and attacked with tear gas while having a drink in a Pub.
- Witch Doctor: Ezekiel's overall appearance, down to the chalk design on his face, but he's not actually one. His cousin is, though.
- You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: The German Sanctuary.
