"When the first living thing existed, I was there, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job will be finished. I'll put the chairs on tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave."
ā€• Death (The Sandman)
"On the contrary, death is the ultimate fairness. Rich and poor, young and old, all are equal in death. You would not like to see the Jackal God play favorites."
ā€• Anubis (Gargoyles)
"But you didn't even notice me, because Puss in Boots laughs in the face of death, right? But you're not laughing now."
ā€• Death to Puss (Puss in Boots: The Last Wish)
"I am the smile of the worm-cleansed skull. I am the regrets of those who remain, and the restlessness of those who are gone. I am the haunt of mausoleums, the god of graves and age, of dusk and dust. I am Myrkul, Lord of Bones, and you have slain my Chosen. But it is no matter. For I am Death. And I am not the end ā€” I am a beginning."
ā€• Myrkul (Baldur's Gate III)

  • The Living/Walking Death

Capabilities[]

Users embody death or the dead. At the most fundamental level, users would possess key physical characteristics and/or personality traits related to the concept they're personifying, usually having a skeleton theme. Most users would firstly be exempt from death, and have roles related to guiding the dead or inducing it. Some users would also be able to manipulate death or the dead.

At the absolute level, users would hold supreme dominion over everything related to death and the dead in every conceivable and inconceivable way, such as being everywhere death is present, know everything related to the dead and possess limitless control over it. Additionally, true embodiments of death would be the prime source behind the concept itself, and everything affected by it, thus being virtually almighty and invincible.
