show me ur ocs that are Death (with questions)

1. Where do they reside? do they like it?

Anywhere and everywhere within the universe, but he has his preferences. His true home is Earth.

2. Are they an edgelord or a cinnamon roll? 

Edgelord but he tries to be nice

3. Do they escort souls to the afterlife? 

No. He isn't the God of Death, more a fragment of what was the original death god. He is capable of entering people's minds during their last moments and communicating with them before they pass, but what happens after that is not something that concerns him.

3A. If yes, what do they think of this job? 

3B. If no, what do they think of the idea of having to do this for every single mortal soul?

He'd be on the fence. Splitting his consciousness and doing multiple things at once is no issue, and he would enjoy helping people toward the afterlife they deserve. On the other hand, it would stop him from performing his duties as a justice god and he would hate that

4. What do u think makes them different from other death gods/personifications of Death? 

He's an alien in a sci-fi setting. I don't see the concept of Gods being used much in Sci-Fi, and blending mythology with technology has been really fun to imagine!

5. What is their temperament? what about personality types?

Cold and distant. Is very calculating and focused only on his goals. Deep down he cares very deeply for living things but he rarely shows it. I think he might be an ISTJ.

 6. What are their hobbies?

He doesn't have time for hobbies, and he doesn't feel like he has a purpose outside of his godhood so he wouldn't pursue any. I think he would enjoy puzzles like sudoku or crosswords if he did have a hobby

 7. What is their aesthetic that they would like? 

He finds the night sky to be beautiful. 

8. What symbols do they have? ex. for thanatos it would be the black rose bc fancy and pretty and edgy except this rose would have a black stem, also black swans 

His usual symbol is an axe, but he can also be represented by scarabs, triangular patterns, and the alchemical symbol for planet earth

9. What are their fave colors? do they like the color black?

Black and white are his fave colors.

 10. What are their fave animals? are these animals symbolic for them? are these animals considered omens in the world of the living in their universe? 

Beetles. He once had wings very similar to them and they originate from Earth, where he was born. He thinks they're the perfect example of the beauty and diversity of life. He uses them as a symbol for himself but others don't associate him with them. (His design is also inspired by the Hercules and Goliath beetles!)

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)?

He isn't really associated with these. 

 12. What elements are they associated with, if any?

The freezing cold of space, so I guess ice?

13.  What is their alignment?  Is this different from the alignment that mortals tend to assign to them?

Lawful good. Most see him as either neutral or evil.

14. Is there a personification of Life in their universe? What do they think about this personification of Life and what does Life think of Death?

The personification of life in his universe is what his species consider the perfect being; it created the pantheon he is a member of, but also killed his mother, the original Death. He despises it for how it wants to have total control over the universe and make everything in its image and wants to destroy it. Life hates anything to do with Death so the feeling is mutual.

15. If they are from a universe where deities are a thing, are they perceived similarly or differently from other kinds of deities?  Do they get along with other deities?  Do mortals treat them the same or differently from other kinds of deities? 

As far as he knows, there are no other deities other than his species. 

16. If they are perceived as or act as any kind of antagonist, is this reputation deserved? Is their title of antagonist acquired from a means other than being a personification of death?  If they are an antagonist, are they closer to a traditional villain who enjoys destruction, or are they more like an antivillain who represents death as one of the forces of nature/a necessary part of the cycle of life and death?

Carnifex himself considers himself a force for good and is obsessed with doing the morally right thing. Sometimes this clashes with others' opinions and can be cruel, but he believes his way is the best. He does not want to be an antagonist but he will become one if he finds it necessary. What he has done while under the control of forces greater than himself, however, are very evil and antagonistic. He hates what he has been made to do under the influence of mind control and will do anything to fix it. He does deserve his antagonistic reputation, though. 

17.  Do they have other duties besides being a personification of death?  If they are a deity of death, are they a deity associated with other things as well? (ex god of life and death, god of death and war)

Being a death god is actually quite low on the list. He is God of Justice first and foremost. He also has a specific domain of death, executions, if that wasn't obvious from his title lol.

18.  When mortals portray a personification of death in art/writing/etc how closely does this interpretation match your character? Are there any noticeable differences or similarities?  Do they look similar?

No. Very few have seen him directly and all mortals portray death as it is seen in their culture. 

19.  What are some interesting powers/abilities/traits that they have?  Do they have magical powers?  What kind of magic do they know?

'Magic' In the sense that he is an extradimensional being part of a greater whole. He can manipulate the Universe in many different ways that are incomprehensible to most species. He is supernaturally strong and durable and has the wisdom and intelligence of a being that has lived for millions of years. He can cut through planets with a swing of his axe, catch lightning and throw it as a spear, and travel faster than light. The possibilities are endless. He also has a cool shapeshifting tail. 

20.  If they reside in an area related to the afterlife/underworld, how did they get here?  Do they rule over this place?  Do they wish they could reside somewhere else?

He doesn't know if there is an afterlife or not and does not reside in it if it does exist. He does have a small planet on the very edge of the universe all to himself, though. It is entirely desert and time and space don't work right there. You can blink and ten years can fly by, or you could be there for ten years and only miss a single second in the rest of the universe.

(This was a very fun questionnaire, made me think a lot about his character! :D)

continuing this with the new questions bc this is so fun yayyyy

Their original job was merely to ensure that time and the universe are always balanced, but because of the disappearance of one of their. . . coworkers?, Corona has been (forcefully) given the "Lord of the Dead" title. Because obviously maintaining equilibrium in the entirety of everything ever definitely was not enough of a workload for one god, surely they can handle finding, guiding, and weighing the souls of each and every one of our dearly departed. Totally.

Just an baby, who happens to be the human form of the Morrigan… it happens sometimes

Also I only answered some of the questions because I’m tired :/

1. where do they reside? do they like it?  
As a remnant, shi technically has a home in The Neighbourhood (an infinite dimension that appears as a suburban neighbourhood), but shi spends most of hir time dropping in on Jemima’s coffee shop.

2. are they an edgelord or a cinnamon roll?
Shi likes to think shi’s an edge lord, but cinnamon roll. Maybe more like sinnamon tbf 

7. what is their aesthetic that they would like?
Shi is still obsessed with the style of the 30’s from when shi was alive, so any aesthetic relating to that

8. what symbols do they have?
Crows / Ravens!

oh man, i have so many death/grim reaper characters that if i were to fill out the questionnaire, i’d be here until i died (that being said, i’ll give a brief rundown).

i love toying with different iterations of the entity, not to mention afterlife concepts; anybody who’s lurked around my page or my posts probably knows that i love this type of thing to bits and more concepts’ll likely be in the future!

maika is the newest character who holds the distinction of being death—a personification of the fourth horseman, to be exact. yes, they are quite literally a horse man horseman. i don’t have too much on them in terms of personality or lore, but they’re definitely meant to emulate your typical edgelord. he’s very much your typical emo interpretation of death (it’s about time i had one).

illias and ten both stem from a futuristic city (ceres), run by immortal overlords known as harvesters. essentially, these deities are the reasons why citizens die; they help keep the city’s population in check and oversee the land. while illias is a legitimate harvester, albeit a young one born from two elder gods, ten is a fraud and is merely posing as one—a grab for power, really. naturally their stories intertwine as naïve illias unknowingly favours what is ultimately just an egotistical criminal instead of his divine kin.

the iteration i’ve been having the most fun with, however, has to be killian’s. their story is very much slice-of-life and is set in a fictional city known as port mallory, which is ironically known for both its fantastic medical programs and a strong connection with death. in essence, killian lives a double-life as an aspiring doctor and the grim reaper, and their plot largely revolves around how they cope with the constant pressure of both tasks. combined with the fact that they’re ultimately mortal and can succumb to their own element, sweet-natured yet ever-tired killi’s certainly the most human of any of my deaths.

none of the characters i use in this universe are on toyhouse, but i have one more noteworthy rendition co-built with a friend where there’s not one individual, but multiple reapers, all of whom work in an organization with a structured hierarchy, similar to the military or a hospital. there’s a head honcho who is the “true death” and several department heads, all of whom have numerous underlings working ‘neath them. many of these reapers were formal mortals who passed on and were specially selected to help perpetuate the cycle of life and death. their culture is extensive and ranges from having customs pertaining to specialized weapons (which are not necessarily scythes), to “finance reapers” who deal with organizing the various offerings living people make to the dead, to practice sparring to keep in tip-top shape (homoerotic knife fights, anyone).

here is my little grim reaper : )

some quick facts to answer some of the questions: she only works with birds. she doesn’t really care about humans, not in a dismissive way, more like it wouldn’t even cross her mind to think about it. most humans aren’t aware of her existence as they would need to venture far too deep into the woods to figure it out. she mainly appears deep in the forest, though she can appear wherever the birds are. she does help carry them over to the afterlife. she’s pretty calm and caring, and the birds feel pretty positively and respectful of her in turn. not a power but a lil fun fact about her is that’s she’s tiny, only about the size of a songbird.  

i mean, if you have a bunch of dead charas, have to make a death right?

dont ask why he's based on the devil lol

1. where do they reside? do they like it?

Higher sectors of the Afterlived, with the other deities. He likes it as much as he can, considering he's been there his whole life. He's one of the weaker carnations of Death, meaning he can't travel across the multiverse like other deities and is trapped in the Afterlived.

2. are they an edgelord or a cinnamon roll?

I'm not really sure how to classify him, but I would say cinnamon roll? idk

3. do they escort souls to the afterlife?

No. In fact, he doesn't (or can't_ really do any of the typical  "Death" jobs. He has hired Angels to escort them, and Grim Readers to decide their deaths. He really just does the paperwork lol.

3B. if no, what do they think of the idea of having to do this for every single mortal soul?

easier than paperwork

4. what do u think makes them different from other death gods/personifications of Death?

Like I said earlier, I think he's different because he doesn't really do anything 'deathy'. Just paperwork.

5. what is their temperament? what about personality types?

No-Nonsense. Very prideful and gets annoyed when people make fun of him, which is why Love and Nine are in ~*paperwork jail*~ so often. They love humbling him.

6. what are their hobbies?

He loves writing. Espiecally poems, mostly about just mortal lives. and goblins

7. what is their aesthetic that they would like?

dark acedmia >:)

8. what symbols do they have? ex. for thanatos it would be the black rose bc fancy and pretty and edgy except this rose would have a black stem, also black swans

Doesn't really have one, but ig a black crown? 

9. what are their fave colors? do they like the color black?

not really. he likes purple :)

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 is fascinated with goblins. He even has a little goblin statue in his office drawer. It doesn't really have any symbolism, but sometimes the Angels will dress up as goblins, which has caused some disperse in the living world.

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)?

not asscoiated with any seasons, but I would probably say Fall, as Fall lasts unusually long in the Afterlived.

12. what elements are they associated with, if any?

none :=)

I have absolutely no idea what Kevin is, but death and chaos follow it. 

well, not death personified but hes the reaper that collects all the flowers (souls) and brings them to Cains Mirrorworld 

Mortombre, being one of the Four Horsemen of the pokemon world, is the embodiment of death itself. He's considered a lesser god, following the rule of Lucirago, the mythical king of the underworld

1) Mortombre resides in Mystidawn's darkest forest, which he finds comforting. Nothing disturbs him and he doesn't disturb anyone back.

2) He's considered misunderstood in the way that he's not as bad as people paint him out to be. Yes, he can be terrifying when angered, but he only ever takes a life if it's deserved.

3) While Mortombre's responsible for enforcing when someone dies or not, he's not the one to escort those souls to the afterlife. After death, it's up to the higher gods to decide what to do with them.

3b) The job is tiring, but he views it as a way of life rather than the former. That way it doesn't get to him that he'll never be able to do anything else with his eternal life.

4) I think what sets Mortombre apart from the other "gods" of death in fiction is the fact that he deals with all life, not just humans. Pokemon deserve judgment as well.

5) Mortombre is mostly docile in nature but stays hidden from society. If he were to one day be captured and have a trainer of his own, he'd only allow it if the trainer was a worthy candidate with good intentions. If he encountered one with an evil heart, he'd take their soul in an instant in order to protect others.

6) He doesn't really have time for hobbies, but if it counted, he'd consider counting the souls he'd captured that day a pastime of his.

7) I think he'd enjoy a dark, gloomy, and foggy sort of aesthetic.

8) His and the other Horsemen's masks are plastered all over Mystidawn's historical texts.

9) Green all the way. Black is also a close second.

10) Since it's still up in the air about if normal animals exist alongside pokemon, I wouldn't claim a favorite animal for him just yet. If he had a favorite pokemon, however, I think he'd be great friends with Darkrai :]

11) Mortombre isn't associated with a particular season, but if it were time of day, it'd be twilight.

12) Mortombre is a dark/ghost-type.

A child prodigy of a project destined to find the next God of Darkness, Tenebris killed his way to the top to attain the rank.

1. where do they reside? do they like it?

Tenebris spends much of his time on his converted planet, Crystalia; Home to the ravenous, all spreading Parasite. Coated in its cold-winding glass, it's every inch of his beloved home and resting place for much of his fleet.

2. are they an edgelord or a cinnamon roll?

90% Edgelord, 10% Cinnamon Roll

3. do they escort souls to the afterlife?

Tenebris doesn't do much in the underworld, he just murders stuff.

3A. if yes, what do they think of this job?

3B. if no, what do they think of the idea of having to do this for every single mortal soul?

He sees it as a tedious task and if he were, he'd have someone else do it for him. Man's too fabulous for manual labour.

4. what do u think makes them different from other death gods/personifications of Death?

You'd think of much Gods of Death as covered in black robes, glyphs, spooky skeletons, anime villains etc etc. But why be grim and dark when you can be beautiful? I've read much of this 07 Ghost manga series that Death doesn't have to be all darkness and gloom but beautiful in its own way and that is the design behind Tenebris. I want him to represent death in ways that's pleasing to one's eyes.

5. what is their temperament? what about personality types?

He has a bit of an arrogant abeit temperamental personality. He hates it when things go the opposite ways and even more so when it involves human beings (His sole spite). Expect blood and organs flying when he loses it.

6. what are their hobbies?

Spending time reading a book, plans to execute the human race or just sailing about in his personal flagship. He has no time for petty games... only books... oh and sampling the finest wine to offer.

7. what is their aesthetic that they would like?

To make every dead and brittle, like glass.

8.  what symbols do they have? ex. for thanatos it would be the black rose  bc fancy and pretty and edgy except this rose would have a black stem,  also black swans

Really old symbol like but the diamond in the center is meant to represent  Tenebris' substance and the lines illustrating 'longitivity' and  'protection'

9. what are their fave colors? do they like the color black?

Man loves purple, black is too old-school.

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?

Every animal is considered sacred to Crystalion's views. Only humanity is considered foul. He wishes to protect them from the tyranny of humanity.

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)?

Well he is a kind of winter person cos he had a long romantic lifestyle with another God, a Goddess of Ice. Man used to love her so much until the humans took her away then its "Alright time to kill".

12. what elements are they associated with, if any?

Darkness, Tenebris stands for everything the light don't shine and since he's all about that, naturally, being Death falls into it in the universe.

Since there are questions now, and they are slight more defined as a character, I'ma post 'em again! :)

1. where do they reside? do they like it? They live in the underworld, but spend most of the time on the surface since they're forced to overwork a lot. They don't like it much, it's too loud there, aways someone partying, drunkheads all around, people pranking each other even without properly knowing the other person and when the poor fella gets home tired from work he just wants a little bit of peace, he definitely sees why humans use "hell" as a curse word, but Morte would for sure feel lonely somewere else.

2. are they an edgelord or a cinnamon roll? Does not fully qualify for either, but more edgelord leaning. Morte is a chill person, but does not take s*** and will definitely ignore everyone if they're tired, but is not an asshole, Morte cares a lot about the souls he guides, his friends, and as much as he hates the noise, he also cares about the people a lot.

3. do they escort souls to the afterlife? Yes.

3A. if yes, what do they think of this job? Tiring as f***, they could definitelly use a break. It's just so much to do.

3B. if no, what do they think of the idea of having to do this for every single mortal soul? That it's a lot, Morte legit wishes they could just go *snap* and gatter it all at once just having to deliver the souls.

4. what do u think makes them different from other death gods/personifications of Death? That's a very interesting question. I feel like their atitude, Morte is not a being moved by pure bloodlust nor is he someone who loves what they do, he's not "godly", Morte feels like just an underpaid overworked employee like any other.

5. what is their temperament? what about personality types? Usually chill, but there's a limit to it, can be pretty scary when angry. Being overworked makes his temperament a bit worst a times.

6. what are their hobbies? Doesn't have much time for it, but used to like to knit, also likes to read, that he still manages to do.

7. what is their aesthetic that they would like? Edgelord vampire from the 90s aesthetic.

8. what symbols do they have? ex. for thanatos it would be the black rose bc fancy and pretty and edgy except this rose would have a black stem, also black swans Spider webb, goats, horns, bones and lamps are some ideas.

9. what are their fave colors? do they like the color black?Yes they like black, but favorite colours are red and grey.

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? They like all animals, specieally if they're fluffy, goofy or cute

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)? Not really, but they do love fall and spring the most.

12. what elements are they associated with, if any?None really, but if it was up for me to choose, probably fire or wind. Tho in a pokemon context it could be fire still, but also steel or faery.

Very nice questions btw! Good job on this thread!
