Death

**Death** is the Primordial entity that existed at the same as God. They're the personification of the primordial abstract concept of all death while their counterpart Life is the personification of the primordial abstract concept of all life. The only known beings who are able to rival/surpass their power are God, Azathoth, Khaos and Life.

## Overview

Death has the power to free the soul of a body and send a soul to it's appropriate destination (usually an afterlife or reincarnation). Reapers, whom are the servants of Death, state that nothing can escape the clutches of their master, for as it is written, there must always be death. They rarely interferes in the mortal plane, often leaves this task to their servants and the various Death and Underworld Gods.

For other entities to claim a soul instead of Death itself, they usually have to have a valid claim on the soul; either a contract or the deceased worshiped the God's Pantheon. The exact nature of the relationship between Death Gods and Death itself is loyal servants to master or children to father type.

However, when it comes to beings whom predated the universe such as the Outer Gods or the Great Old Ones, this causes a sense of frustration. Since Death is an enforcer of the Natural Order, beings like the Old Ones for example defy such an order and therefore desecrate the laws that was created in order to keep the universe and its 'wheels' in balance. The Old Ones gnaw at this wheel like dogs chewing on a tire, eventually rendering it damaged and improperly functioning. This is due to the fact that they predated the laws of the natural order itself and are not bound to its rules. Because of this, Death is unable to properly reap them, instead it waits out for other opposing forces to destroy such beings. Death is the one being (other than God and Khaos) that most Old Ones including the the Outer gods fear, especially given that they themselves believe that they are beyond death.

Death themself seems to have some degree of contempt and annoyance by their existence, specially towards their creator: Azathoth. When they discuss Azathoth and his Old Ones (Great Old Ones and the Outer Gods) to Father Time, they seem to be quite displeased by their soon to be future return upon the universe, and knowing they will wreck havoc and chaos upon all of creation, their job and the balance that their maintaining and protecting will be greatly affected, showing a strong hate for them.

While seen as a manifestation of Death itself, Death is not a being, but rather a concept of which occurs at the end of life. While many beings, most commonly gods of death, refer to themselves as 'Death Incarnate' they are not true death nor are they manifestations of the concept itself. During Creation, he didn't participate in the battle between the others, he merely watched the fight along with Life and Father Time.

## Appearance

While Death is normally a formless entity, it is historically depicted as being a massive and hooded skeletal figure with a scythe in its hand and an hour glass pendant, which shows the time of death for each and every being in the universe. It is able to assume countless forms, and each form that is presented reflects off of the type of being that Death is reaping. Its true form is never revealed, for its true visage is basically indescribable. One account details that during the Great Flood, the prophet Noah witnessed what appeared to be a gargantuan mass of living darkness which was emanating nothing but a cold and deeply dark feeling of misery and woe, as though all the happiness was gone from the world. Along with a showing of two colossal feathery black wings which blotted out the sun entirely.

However, like God and Khaos, Death has taken multiple human appearances in both male and female forms. In most of his human forms, no matter what age or gender, Death always carries his signature scythe.

## Personality

Death is extremely cold, aloof and enigmatic, being completely detached from the rest of the universe, rarely showing himself connecting to the people or beings who live within it. As if to state that his view on the importance of devils is just like how devils view the importance of bacterium.

When it comes to the affairs that involve the living or other events that occur within different realms beyond that of the norm, Death is completely amoral to them and is only concerned with the task at hand and that is reap any and all those who are on the brink of dying or currently dying as well. It possesses no care whatsoever to the living and cannot be bargained nor reasoned with. He has been described by lI Separatio as a "true conceptual agent of the law".

He showed great neutrality and passiveness to almost everyone even towards his siblings. He is responsible yet easy-going towards his job as the original primordial reaper, and always stick to the letter of the law of the universe. Where he remain on the sidelines with Father Time and her sister Life, during the first war of Creation. He rarely interferes in the mortal plane, often leaves this task to his servants and the various Death and Underworld Gods.

Despite his quiet and distant attitude, he showed a sibling bond towards her twin counterpart/sister Life, and being with her while preserving and maintaining the balance and cycle of life and death. He also shown to respect his elder brother God's authority and power, he holds great respect to Him to the point that he only reaps the souls that are time to die. He is also in good terms with Father Time and from time to time visit him to talk about important events and happenings in the Creation. When in peace and in rare times while faring and escorting deceased people, he will acts as a personal comforter and adviser towards their destination afterlife, but hold great contempt towards wicked and filthy souls, where he will shows his very cold, sadistic, and sinister side while escorting them in Hell/Underworld for eternal punishment. Surprisingly, Death is very wary of the Darkness despite being one of the few beings capable to rival or stopping her stronger older sister Ayin. Ironically, on the contrary, The Darkness is unawere of his existence despite them being similar in age.

It also rare for Death to have interest in something or someone, and very few he has ever shown a level of interest in, and one of it is towards the mortals who successfully cheated death itself whether it is many times or not. Additionally, he cares very little for major events of the world like The Apocalypse, and despite his coerced involvement by Lucifer, he only pays the events vague interest, resulting in his tendency to wander off from his assigned targets. Yet despite his seemingly indifferent, amoral, and passively enigmatic composure, Death holds great detestment, contempt, and frustration towards those who don't mind taken lightly, mocks, and belittles death itself, This showing that despite rarely showing himself, he takes great pride and reverence towards his embodiment, and claimed that death (who is among the living embodiments and elements of the universal force itself) cannot be taken very lightly by anyone, specially mortals (who tends to foolishly takes death in more lightly manner and foolish way).

In one of rare instances, he is also shown to be a capable teacher and mentor towards his students and servants, showing great pride and joy when they successfully learn his teachings, one of them is the Archangel of Death Azrael, whom he called him a good apprentice and protégé. Death shares a strong bond with him and is surprisingly protective of him as he saved him from Nyarlathotep.

According to the Grim Reaper, Death doesn't like to be tricked. When a person manages to escape Death, it goes after the person until it manages to kill them, with the only way for the person to escape Death being if someone else is killed in their place. Nonetheless, although many consider Death to be evil, it is actually just doing its job of ensuring the balance between life and death, taking lives for new lives to be born.
