**Svjetlo Scuro** is a male divine who was introduced in WWIV. He is a supporting character and the original god of death. He is a mentor figure for Josie and currently resides in limbo with Zelig and the other founders.

## Appearance

Svjetlo appears to be a man in his late twenties, although he often dons a tired and stern expression, making him seem older. He moves extremely purposefully, as if everything he does has a meaning. His hair is split down the middle with the right half being white and the left being black. Similarly, his eyes correspond with his hair, his right eye is a deep black, and his left is an eerie white. When speaking to mortals or other gods on friendly terms, he wears a kind smile that seems tired with age. He wears a simple black hoodie with a singular silver stripe running across his wingspan accompanied by black pants and white sneakers. To finish the outfit off, he wears a white t-shirt beneath the sweatshirt.

## Personality

Svjetlo is patient and kind, although there have been times where he displays indifference, apathy, and sometimes even cruelty when it comes to others. Once in a while, he enjoys toying with mortals in the realm of the living for entertainment, and when Auxillium and Josie were fighting, even when Josie was gravely injured, Svjetlo made no move to assist her. He is shown to be a very caring demon, though, with how he treated Sadie. He listened to her and allowed her to carry out her frivolous and somewhat dangerous lifestyle with him acting as her guardian angel. Ormr offhandedly mentioned to Sadie in limbo that she was "another one of his mortals." Svjetlo acts as a mentor for Josie as she takes on the responsibilities of being the god of death.

When it comes to death and the loss of a loved one, Svjetlo has shown he can be quite inconsiderate and detached. Due to the fact that he's always had access to limbo, he never considered death to be a parting, and often does not realize that others have this luxury.

## Biography

Svjetlo was created as soon as the first living being in the universe began breathing. The idea of life and death was one of the first concepts to ever be created, and thus led to Svjetlo's birth. Alongside him, the realm now called limbo was born, and served as his place of residence. He appeared as an adult, and therefore did not have much of a childhood. Despite this physical maturity, he did not know why he existed nor did he know the role he was meant to play. He began wandering limbo, trying to make sense of its nothingness and void. And yet no matter how far he wandered, he was unable to find anything other than the vast void around him.

## Abilities

* **Life Force Manipulation** - Svjetlo is able to telekinetically manipulate the life force of the living beings around him, he has used this ability to fight as well as keep others alive when they are moments from death. This ability does not seem to work on plants.
* **Necromancy** - As the god of death, Svjetlo is able to drag souls through the border that separates the living realm and limbo.
* **Interdimensional Travel** - Svjetlo was able to warp himself between the realm of the living, limbo, and any other divine world that he wished.
* **Control Over the Upper Demons** - The Upper Demons and the God of Death are linked in such a way that the Upper Demons cannot ignore a direct command from him, allowing him to control and manipulate them however he wishes.
* **Influence Within Limbo** - Svjetlo is both omnipotent and omnipresent within limbo, he uses this to get to know each individual limbo citizen and best cater to their desires. He also uses this to punish those who do not obey him.
* **Enhanced Umbrakinesis** - With this ability, Svjetlo is able to meticulously and intricately control the shadows around him and create corporeal appendages for himself to use. He most commonly uses them to fight.
* **Regeneration** - When injured anywhere but his brain, Svjetlo is able to rapidly regenerate his physical form and heal himself.
