Name:
“I go by the name of Thanatos, perhaps you may have heard of me.”
Age:
“I lost count a long time ago, darling. I suppose if you were to look at me, I’d seem to be in about my mid-twenties. Maybe around 24.”
Gender:
“I am a man, darling, and a rather handsome one I may add.”
Species:
“I am a spirit, a spirit of death to be precise. I’m like my brother, Grimmy, the reaper, only stronger.”
Powers/Abilities:
“The power of darkness caters to my every whim, my dear. It helps me to cloak myself, create some ‘nifty tools’, solidify it to take care of naughty Nathans, and even to get around to places I need to be. Sure, I could always fly there, but that would take the fun out of it. You understand, right darling? Of course you do. I can absorb someone’s life force as long as they don’t try to run away. I can also take souls of course, just like Grimmy, but the only time I’d do that to someone who’s not on their death bed is to teach them a lesson for being especially annoying. Of course, I’d put it right back I wouldn’t want to scare any of the precious humans after all.”
Appearance:
“I may have white hair darling, but I look nothing like an old man. As I’ve said before, I appear to be in my mid-twenties. My eyes are grey, and almost white in fact. I always try to wear the most fashionable attire in public, but nothing can beat my gorgeous armor.”
"I prefer this form, but in the mortal world it's a no-go, unfortunately."
Backstory:
“It’s a long story honeybuns, so I’ll break it down and give you the simple version. You still may want to pull up a chair though.
I was born into a world where ‘death’ didn’t exist. People would just get sick and… stay that way. It was a cruel time really. No matter what they would be stuck in a body that couldn’t function correctly and would always be in pain. Around the time I was still a youngling, still in the double digits I believe. I had a certain power. I hadn’t figured it out until I ‘accidentally’ pushed someone off a bridge.
I swear, I was only trying to scare the poor fellow, but that ended up backfiring when he actually fell down. I tried grabbing onto him, but it felt like something had slipped. He was still there for a moment, but there was also this very distinct sound of something hitting the ground with a crack. I then felt this odd tingling feeling, and when I looked up, the young man had just vanished.
Unfortunately for me, the city guards came at just the right moment. I had been arrested and locked up for the longest time, darling. It was almost unbearable. Anyway, I was in there for a couple of months, I believe. They had thought that the guy’s body was only in a state of rest for the longest time. When they figured he wasn’t going to wake up, they decided that I was cursed and needed to be burned so that it would never happen again. It’s pretty hard to move when you’re cooked after all. They tied me to a post with rope, the fools, and they lit me ablaze. It really hurt. A lot. Instead of letting myself burn until the cows came home, I broke the rope and let myself fall. Of course though, I was still ablaze. I tried to do what I did to the one who died to myself, starting with the head. That part of course was easy, but then there was the matter of forcing myself out of my body. It was quite the chore actually. Anyway, I let my body go to ‘sleep’ as well, and I bet those people wish that I was still there to suffer.
After all of those shenanigans, I didn’t disappear like my buddy before me. I did take his body, but there were no hard feelings. I wandered around for a bit and used my powers for good and all that jazz. At least I thought it was good, they were in excruciating pain. Is I did my business, I continued to grow stronger. I continued to look for worlds to help out in as I had gotten bored in my own. One day, after many, many, many long years, I just happened on a world where death was its own thing, and it had a couple of little scamps delivering souls to the afterlife. One of those little ones was a bit more powerful than the rest, so I made him my darling little brother and underling.
My baby brother grew up so quickly I could hardly believe it. He even had a kid who suspiciously ages like… something else. I still don’t even know where he got it from either.. But that’s enough about him, back to the topic of me. Though he did ask me to watch the little scamp in school, I had my own reasons for wanting a job there too, don’t look at me like that darling! Hm, well I guess that’s about it for my old backstory, hopefully I didn’t put you to sleep or anything darling.”
Personality:
“Darling, if I could use one word to describe myself, it would be fabulous. I do have to warn however if I see anyone messing with my darling children, I’ll have to hurt them.”
Friends/Family:
“I have my beautiful baby Phantos, or Rei, as she prefers to be called. Her daddy wouldn’t let her call me her ‘mommy’, so she calls me Uncle instead. That’s alright though. There’s no hard feelings since I take Grimmy to be my baby brother of sorts. And no, before you ask, I am not Phantos’s mother.”
“I don’t think I have any more family who are still alive, but who knows, darling.”
Crush/Relationships:
“None that I could think of off the top of my head, darling.”
long shaggy black hair, skinny frame, long sleeved black shirt and either baggy jeans or sweat pants
