Appearance

Grim Reaper is a tall man with a youthful, pale face. His skin is extremely pale, although somehow not sickly nor deathly looking to the point that it's concerning / off putting. He has fluffy snow-white hair that is messy at the back, and while it's cut short at the front, the back under-layer is longer, down to his lower back. Reaper has blood red eyes that are sharp and with small pupils, and perfectly white scleras. He is slender and slim, with no definitive muscle mass. He has deft fingers and a flexible body. Clothing wise, he wears a monochromatic grey and black outfit. Reaper wears a sleeveless black turtleneck with clasps around the edge, and over that, a cloak style hoodie that is quite loose on him. His sleeves are puffy, although he mostly let's the shoulders of his hoodie slip down to his elbows so that his shoulders are bare. The lining of his hoodie a light grey; he wears tight black gloves. On his left hand, his glove is up to his elbow, but on his right hand, it's only down to his wrist. His hoodie goes down to his lower thighs, but he wears it open. Reaper never has his hoodie zipped up unless he is cold, although he looks a tad silly with it zipped up because of how oversized it is for him. Reaper wears two black, leather belts around his waist, and has a black leather thigh strap on his right thigh. He wears simple black skintight trousers with grey cuffs at the bottom. His boots are a smooth black, with two leather clasps at the base of each. At the back of his hoodie, he has two long, dull red straps that trail downwards.

Personality

Personality wise, he is an imposing being. He tries to act all intimidating and frightful, often taking up threats to get what he wants. (Often people's souls, if said souls aren't easily accessible) He acts high and mighty, under the impression that his job and title makes him a terrifying individual. If one was to get to know him better, they would find that he's actually not that bad. Dumb isn't the right word for him, but he is inexperienced when it comes to socializing. He knows the bare basics of how to socialize with someone, but lacks knowledge on slang words or modern slang phrases. For example, if you were to call him cringe, he wouldn't know what that means. Likewise, he can come off as quite teasing and playful, but in a sharp way. He will jab at you with the intent to make fun of you, but sometimes he does it wrong and it comes out unlike he intended. Reaper is the type of person to be oblivious to any type of flirting, kind of just staring at you like you told him you dropped a bomb over New York City. A straight blank face (or a confused one) as a result to your advances. Reaper has a superiority complex, and big ego that gets quite bruised whenever he is proved wrong (although that's rare) and he's extremely confident in himself. He's not exactly arrogant, but he can be demanding and forceful in the way he acts and talks. He's full of himself, but not in a selfish way; he's quite smug and also somewhat self-absorbed. He's also distanced, and doesn't form connections easily. He doesn't want to, and neither can he due to what his role is. Other words to describe him: Disciplinarian, cunning, artful, calculating, blunt, stern, sly, tough, tries to be mature, can be slightly sadistic, intelligent. He gets flustered easily, and is impatient but not in a short tempered way. He has a good temperament.

Introduction

Grim Reaper is a twist on the original tale, with him a more modernized being in this turn of events. Reaper does what the original tale says, he goes around and collects people's souls. It is very rare that Reaper himself would kill someone to take their souls, but animals can die easily if he is near. Dogs, rabbits, birds, small animals alike fall ill or die seemingly natural whenever Grim Reaper is near, although isn't that how life is supposed to be? 'Death is near'. Reaper himself just goes around and collects the souls of the dead so that they can passage into the underworld. He can manifest himself anywhere he pleases, so he could be somewhere in America one moment, and then in England the next. Although he can move freely from place to place, he does have his own house that he likes to spend time at. He particularly likes cats, especially the black ones, although he isn't as fond of dogs. His favourite type of cat is a fluffy black cat. Reaper doesn't have any pets, because he doesn't have time to take care of one, but does sometimes stop by to pet a cat if he sees one along his way.
