1. Where do they reside? do they like it?
Radvak resides on my story world Karga Magna. They are transient and move constantly around the overworld to collect the souls of the dead.
2. Are they an edgelord or a cinnamon roll?
They are enigmatic but kind and soft-spoken. They have exceptional mortality and are always courteous to downright submissive in the presence of mortals.
3. Do they escort souls to the afterlife?
Yes. He takes the souls of the recently deceased, puts them in his satchel, carries them into the catacombs underneath Karga Magna, and feeds them to Serriant (his bottomless belly is the true afterlife of all souls).
3A. If yes, what do they think of this job?
It's just part of his duty, in his mind. He was created to do it and so that is what he must do.
3B. If no, what do they think of the idea of having to do this for every single mortal soul?

4. What do u think makes them different from other death gods/personifications of Death?
He has no powers, other than he can see the souls he is collecting (which mortals cannot). The long trek to make it to a dead body and then taking the soul to Serriant has to be done entirely by foot. This means that he often makes it to dead bodies long after the person died - it is considered good luck for Radvak to reach a corpse before it is buried. He will not collect "restless souls" or those who are not ready to pass on to the endless darkness of Serriant. He will only collect them once they are appeased, which means ghosts can occur when someone who died is not ready to pass on. He is also part of a unique race known as the Ordates which are tribal goat-like beings that are often enslaved to other races.
5. What is their temperament? What about personality types?
He is quiet, polite, and good natured. Since he is always transient with a purpose, he does not have a lot of time to talk to people or take in the scenery.
His whole existence revolves around doing his job and doing it well so his personality does not extend far from being a token workaholic.
6. What are their hobbies?
He likes to smoke tobacco and occasionally take pilgrimage to his ancestral homeland of the Ordates.
7. What is their aesthetic that they would like?
Medieval tribal fantasy, I suppose? They like ponchos?
8. What symbols do they have?
The symbol of death looks like a six with a line running up from where the top would end.
The unique symbol of Radvak himself looks like an uppercase J with another line at the top.
You can see both symbols used in this Ordate's ancestral ritual clothing.
9. What are their fave colors? Do they like the color black?
He likes magenta and teal the most. He is neutral to black.
10. What are their fave animals? Are these animals symbollic for them? Are these animals considered omens in the world of the living in their universe?
He has no particular affinity for any one animal, all animals are considered important. There is no animal that represents him.
11. I think the death seasons are winter (more common i think) and summer (underused in my opinion, perfect for a fire elemental). is ur oc associated with either one of these seasons? what about fall (i think this could be a neutral element since it is the opposite of spring)?
More people pass away in winter, this is true, but people die all the time in medieval settings so no particular season is associated with him. Of course there are times when more people die suddenly and so times of war, famine, or pandemic would be his "prime seasons".
12. What elements are they associated with, if any?
Radvak is associated with "guardian magis" because he is a Guardian in the form of an Ordate. Guardians are stellar beings that can rival the gods in power and so in my stories they are considered their own element.
