The problem being is that Death has had many incarnations. The Grim Reaper figure, itself, could be called a god in the sense that we mean it. So Anubis and Hel and everyone else who claims 'god of death' has the same ammount of power more or less; they're just one of the many 'faces' of Death. Nobody worshiped death as the concept; it always had a figurehead, aka a god.
And no matter how neutral you claim the character will be, natural human bias will creep in, so all that god-moded power comes right back into play.
So I'd say maybe pick the grim reaper? the pale horseman? he's european mythology, so you could play him. But 'I am death I pwn all' just doesnt seem to fit.
Hell, theoreticaly then, Hyena could kill and eat you, since in the African mythos the gods died all the time only to come back later.
