## Appearance

In his disguised form, Mors is a very tall, moderately tanned young man with black wings and short black hair that cover his right eye. As a young adult and onwards, he has facial hair on his chin and the sides of his face. His eyes have long black lashes, electric blue sclera, light blue irises and cat-like pupils. Mors' true form has gray skin, white hair and four blue eyes. He has a dark gradient on the top half of his face and the tips of his ears, which are now pointed. Black feathers cover the entirety of his arms and the theta symbols on his palms are now white.

Mors' outfit has had subtle variations across the timeskips, though some elements stay the same across all outfits: a short blue cloak secured by a pin, a blue tunic with gold accents layered on top of a darker blue tunic or pants, black sandals and gold bracelets on his wrists. Child Mors has an extra pair of bracelets on his upper arms, a rope belt and a gold pin on his cloak that differs from the one with a blue gem in his other outfits. Young adult Mors has a ripped cloak and his tunic is worn in a way that does not drape over his legs like in his other outfits. Adult Mors has a black belt with a gold gem in the center as well as a necklace of skulls. Starting from the time when he is imprisoned, he has a black theta symbol on the palm of each hand.

**Reader discretion is advised.**

Mors was the seventh child of Keres, and would have likely died in her care like the rest of his siblings had it not been for Thanatos' intervention. Thanatos took Mors in as a baby and raised him as his own, hoping that he would not grow up to be like his mother. It worked for several years and he had a relatively normal childhood, aside from the fact that he was rarely around children his own age. This would change with the arrival of Korina, who quickly became his best friend and later crush. However, it was around this time that his anger started growing and he began using violence as a solution to problems. Mors would end up killing a teenager who was harassing him and Korina, though Thanatos would hide the fact that he was dead for years. Mors noticed that Thanatos began treating him differently after this, which became a tipping point in their relationship.

Mors would undergo a massive personality shift as he grew older, becoming more reckless and volatile. This would lead to him sleeping around and lashing out at others, causing a shift in his relationships. His relationships with Betty, Thanatos, and Luchnos were now muddled with far more conflict, especially in regards to the topics of who his mother is and his relationship with Korina. His relationships with many gods and other Olympians became more openly hostile. His relationship with Korina was turbulent, though he had far less conflict with Korina than he did anyone else. She was his main confidant, and the two would still sometimes hang out together. It was on one of these hangouts in the Mortal Realm that Mors would kill again out of self-defense. This got him on the radar of Zeus, who warned Thanatos that Mors would be punished if something like that were to happen again. During another trip to the Mortal World, a man would attempt to sexually assault Korina and Mors would intervene, continuously killing and reviving the man before Thanatos stopped him. Soon after this, Mors was imprisoned in Elysium for his acts of violence and the unforgivable crime of bringing someone back to life.

Mors would remain imprisoned for 5 years until Thanatos broke fate and freed him. Thanatos' wings were ripped off as punishment and Mors breifly took on the role as God of Death, though it quickly became clear that he was not cut out for the job. Soon afterwards he started an official relationship with Korina, though Olympus' plans to marry Korina off greatly angered him. Korina's seeming passiveness towards the situation only made him angrier, causing him to accuse her of cheating or wanting to cheat and insinuate that she would have enjoyed being sexually assaulted by that man from the Mortal World. Korina put their relationship on hold, and Mors went into a downward spiral, being unable to fully understand why he did what he did and why he felt so much anger over that whole situation.

It was during this that he was approached by Keres, who offered to teach him about himself. After following her back to Tartarus, she tells him that it was just his nature as a death god to lash out and be violent and that Thanatos was suppressing him. She tries to goad him into killing a human but he refuses and returns home. When Thanatos finds out where he was, with some coaxing from Korina, he tells Mors that he is not his biological father and that Keres is his mother. Mors is angered that he has been lied to and storms back to Tartarus to get answers. Keres tells him that she killed her other children and doesn't know who his biological father is, though he is likely dead. When Mors expresses anger towards her, she strikes him and reveals her true form, and he flees. The revelation that Keres is his mother as well as seeing her true form sends Mors spiraling once again, and he begins to doubt everything he has ever known about himself, including whether his current form is even his true form. He almost cuts himself trying to "see what is underneath his skin", but Korina convinces him to wait for Thanatos to return and explain. Thanatos returns and tells him everything, including how he tried and failed to save Mors' siblings and how Mors' true form does indeed resemble Keres.

### Personality

Mors was an adventurous and enthusiastic child, bordering on reckless at times. Still, he was a well-meaning child at heart, even if he didn't always understand the consequences of his own actions. According to Thanatos, he used to smile every day.

However, that changed as he reached adulthood. As an adult, Mors is more jaded and cynical, even antisocial at times. He shows little care for most things and has only gotten more impulsive over the years.

### Relationships

#### Thanatos

As a child, Mors adored his father and looked up to him. However, things changed one day and Mors noticed that Thanatos had begun acting differently around him. This, along with other factors such as withholding information on his mother and forbidding him and Korina from dating, would lead to building resentment towards his father in his young adult years. Mors would become more dismissive of his father during this time and would do things behind his back, and this point in their relationship would come to a head when Mors was imprisoned.

Mors would remain resentful of his father while in prison, though he would begin to warm up to him slightly after being freed and after learning the truth about his origins. Though his relationship with Thanatos has been turbulent, Mors clearly cares about him and after learning about his lineage, he seems more appreciative of his efforts in raising him.

#### Korina

Korina was Mors' first real friend that wasn't Thanatos or Luchnos. The two of them would play together as children, and Mors would eventually develop a crush on Korina. Despite the two of them drifting apart in their teenage and young adult years due to their duties and Mors sleeping with other people, they remained each other's closest confidants. Mors often takes Korina's word into consideration and holds her in a much higher regard to others. He is extremely protective of her and feels remorse whenever he does something to hurt her, usually apologizing soon afterwards. Though he makes sexually charged comments at her, he respects her boundaries and usually doesn't push her to do things outside of her comfort zone.

#### Charlie

Despite being scratched by Charlie almost immediately upon meeting him, Mors has a surprising soft spot for the cat. Charlie often lounges around his room and Mors has been shown to pet him and play with him on occasion. Mors makes some snide comments about Charlie every once in a while, though it is clear that he liked having him around.

## Skills/Abilities

### Flight

With the wings on his back, Mors is able to fly and glide quite proficiently. He uses flight as a grounding technique during emotionally stressful situations. He is able to retract his wings using magic.

### Soul Unbinding

Mors is able to use magic to separate souls that have been bound together. If a soul bound person dies, the person who they are bound to will also die.

### Fireball

Mors is able to summon fireballs that he can launch from a short distance. This ability seems to be his go-to for combat or when he's just showing off.

### Energy Blast

Mors is able to create an energy blast in a small area of effect around him.

### Portal Magic

Mors is able to control where the portals in Purgatory lead, as well as create ones that lead back to Purgatory. He is also able to sense people coming in and out of the portals.

### Necromancy

As the child of a death god, Mors is able to reverse someone's death, creating a small skull in the process. However, reviving someone who has already died is both taboo and punishable by the gods.
