Profile


The supreme god of death.  The most mysterious of the deities.  Many mortals fear him and see him as evil while many others see him as either neutral or even benevolent.  He is very mysterious, seeming very peaceful and even gentle while at the same time being very cold and intimidating, making it seem ambiguous whether he is a threat and what his intentions truly are.

He rules over the land of the dead, a dark and frigid land that can also be hauntingly beautiful.

Thanatos is the kind of leader who prefers to stay inside his castle (behind the scenes) rather than be a public figure.

Thanatos is the ruler over the country of Elysium, a quiet and peaceful land of darkness that is hauntingly beautiful

What does the black swan mean?  It symbolizes beauty and darkness

What does the black rose symbolize?  It symbolizes beauty, darkness

How did he become the god of beauty?  he claimed this title for himself, of course it is mainly in regards to what he subjectively perceives as beautiful, it also fits his role as an artist

How did he become the god of the night?  The night is the opposite of the day, it is when the world is shrouded in a beautiful darkness, shadow elementals tend to be stronger at night and weaker in the day

How did he become the god of sleep?  He is a peaceful god of death, like an eternal sleep...  He also likes to take naps and claimed this title for himself.

How did he become god of winter?  He is the lord of cold and darkness.  He is at his most powerful during the coldest and darkest winters.

What is he really like? He is a very peaceful deity who is also an artist and who likes nature.

Why  does he act like the dark lord archetype if he isn't evil/doesnt try to  take over the world?  He is a performance artist plus it relates to him  being a darkness elemental.

What does the designated villain trope mean? portrayed as this by those who hate/fear him, because of his reputation  as the supreme god of death; he really isn't evil, or even as much of a  threat as he is made out to be

spoiler alert mbti type: INTJ or ISTJ? (INTJ being acting like the dark lord archetype and ISTJ being the  peaceful nature spirit)(he is a god i can have him have two types if i  want    i imagine him with slight variations of personality in different settings/situations where the changes are enough for his type to be different too

other considered types: INFP ISFP)


god of:

winter (cold), autumn (cold), darkness, ice

infodump of personality traits etc

personality description: 

-highly intelligent, clever, cunning, a planner, plays the long game, calculating

-he  is the ruler of elysium but prefers to stay behind the scenes and does  not particularly care for politics preferring to ignore them while he  pursues his own interests

-selfish but ethical:  he is motivated  primarily by self-interest but has a code of ethics/moral compass he will not break,  he is much less selfish and can even be selfless towards those he cares  about

-artistic:  enjoys the arts, considers himself an artist,  considers himself to be the "tortured artist" archetype, very moody and  melancholic and melodramatic, enjoys having themes of sadness in art,  greatly moved by beauty

-cold but gentle:  very cold and aloof to  the vast majority of people, the nicest he is is generally coldly  polite, but he also has a gentle and peaceful temperament, usually  ignoring insults, he cannot really be goaded into a fight but he may  snap a little bit but mostly to get the person to stop not so much to  retaliate, in a videogame he would be the peaceful npc you have to  attack a lot to get him to fight back, more of a pacifist than a fighter

to those he cares about he is very kind and loving and nurturing

he hates social interaction in general and only likes it with those he cares about

-seems stoic but is deeply emotional and experiences emotions very intensely

-very  intimidating unless you know him well, seems like the dark lord  archetype, many think he is evil even without him having to do any evil  acts, many mortals make up stories about how he is going to conquer the  world or destroy the world

-physically lazy, does not like to move a lot, likes sleeping

motives: self-gain, love for the ones he loves, he ignores things he is not interested in

fears: losing the ones he loves, losing his powers

funny IC DNI list:

kindly stay away from me if you....

-are a fitness/exercise blogger or post constantly/frequently about  exercising (i will tolerate forms of artistic expression such as the  performing arts, dance, ballet, gymnastics, ice skating, but no  more..... and it must be primarily an art form) 

-are an enemy of Gaea (my beloved wife....)  if you are an enemy of  Gaea you are an enemy of mine, and you have committed treason of the  highest order!

-are trying to cancel me for being the dark lord....  everyone knows  I'm the dark lord, you don't need to cancel me for it.... also it is  rather annoying that EVERYONE believes that just because I am the lord  of darkness, that means that i want to conquer/destroy the universe..   Such a task would be SO exhausting...

quotes for fun


  • "Who disturbs my rest?"
  • "I do enjoy the finer things in life..."
  • "Your attempts at flattery mean nothing to me..."
  • "Dark magic is an art.... Not a mere work of sorcery....  " - being snobby about dark magic


accepted headcanons

when he enters a room and everyone becomes quiet ppl who arent afraid of him will notice that his presence caused everyone to become quiet,

feathers have tiny ice crystals on them,

 likes and collects shiny things,

 preens his feathers like a bird, 

likes to groom himself,

 likes to make himself pretty


cool interpretation by kafkaesque

expectation: when I first see him and his profile  pic, I immediately think "eldritch abomination." not as an insult ofc!!  the multiple eyes and dark colors, as well as the lanky body frame,  suggest something of that vibe. however, it may just be a case of me  overanalyzing a silhouette of the character, so if that's the case... I  have a feeling that he was good (or at least aligned with something  good) at some point before being banished as a result of a heinous  crime/deed. almost like a "fallen angel" if you will?? the name  definitely reminds me of the underworld, so I imagine that he's at least  associated with the dead or death, although how much power he has over  those is a bit ambiguous; however, based off what little memory I have  of Greek mythology, I can see him being at least semi-divine, or perhaps  divine?? he may hold regrets over what he did, since experience leads  me to think that his profile picture shows him crying... maybe in terms  of crying over what he did??

reality: huh, I wasn't completely off with my  expectations. I definitely got the death association down, as well as  his divine blood. as for everything else, I think it's more moot?? like  he definitely has angelic vibes because of the wings and feathers, but  it isn't really stated whether he was banished, or just happened to  think the underworld was neat and decided to move/live there. he also  doesn't really seem evil; in terms of DND alignments, he seems more  neutral than anything else. hell, I low-key expected him to be a bit of  an angsty character, but he's actually just a pretty chill dude  dsfjvhsyuvvsd- the association with beauty also definitely surprised me  in a pleasant way!! it's not every day that the two are juxtaposed, and I  think he does it in a way that's pretty neat. the feathers are also an  interesting touch; I usually see death being juxtaposed with colder  textures (scales, leather, etc.) and life with warmer ones (feathers,  fur, etc.), so to see the trope subverted is definitely nice to see!!
