all hollows die over and over. even the crestfallen warrior admits he has died before. the chosen undead is no different, save that it will be the one to relight the fire. "chosen" is a bit of an exaggeration. you are only "chosen undead" if you relight the fire. so really you are just the same as all other undead. all humans are related to the pigmy, so they all have the potential to be "chosen." plus the onion dudes daughter implies she has killed her father before. maybe she just meant that she'd kill him and that he has died before, seeing that he is undead. she is NOT undead though. probably the only one. even the god of war solaire is undead. funny that he is human size yet his daddy is a giant. but the story never said who could or couldn't be undead. basically an undead dies again and again until it goes insane, maybe due to serious pain from countless deaths, or not ever really being able to die, or from looking in a mirror and seeing there nasty faces and considering themselves a monster. maybe its from being "alive" for time immeasurable or just feeling alone. the best idea I've heard was that NPCs stay alive and don't go hollow when they have purpose, or a desire to live. In essence you cause many NPCs to go hollow by being so badass you make them depressed and sad. I think its more that you help people along and when they are finished selling stuff to you or asking for help they go off and get killed doing their own thing. everyone here knows how frustrating deaths can be in this game so is it hard to imagine going insane in Lordran after countless ages of death and more death?
