~Character Info
He collects, weird and old things. Be it weird books, cursed dolls, grandfather clocks, anything that he seems to interest him. The things that he liked once and doesn't anymore, he sells in an Antique shops he owns. This is also a good way to come across things of interesting origins.
He was an avid sword fighter once, he’s still able to do it, he just doesn't have anyone to battle against currently.
Nikolai has taken up knife throwing.
He likes to read a lot when there's nothing else to do. He reads just about anything, old historical journals to modern day fiction if he likes to subject enough.
Short Background (Length is up to you, state where your character lives):
He’s a Grim Reaper, an Angel of Death. Nikolai doesn’t know how he came to be what he is today, or even if he was something else before. All he does know is that his memories begin somewhere around the 1400s in Europe.
He traveled through Europe doing odd things, he didn’t farm or become a noble like the rest of the people he saw, he didn’t hide among the forests or towns like the beings he met and spoke to on his travels that he knew weren’t exactly human (neither is he) even though they looked it. No, what Nikolai did was kill. Or at least, in a manner of speaking.
Nikolai could help people officially die when it was time for them to pass on, where they go, he isn’t sure, he himself can’t die (he isn’t positive on this fact yet) so he won’t be able to experience this to find out. How he does this is by cutting the bonds between the soul and the body of the person. He doesn’t do anything with the soul once it’s been separated. There was usually someone else, some being, who would come to get that soul once the job was done, different places and people had different beings, angels, demons, even deities at times. He never bothered to ask what exactly they where. He didn’t care. He only cared about doing the one thing he knew that he was supposed to do.
Using a simple knife or blade to cut the bonds would do the trick, not a scythe like it’s depicted now a days. Since time has long past since he had started and rumors and myths of the so called ‘Grim Reaper’ have spread all over to places Nikolai hasn't even been too, he believe’s he’s not the only one that is able to do this, there where most likely others. The population of the world had grown and that meant more deaths, one being couldn’t do all that, even with the power of time at someone’s fingertips. Nikolai didn’t have this power and he’s sure others like him don’t either.
Since he believes this, Nikolai didn’t see the purpose of staying in one place of the world that had grown so big, he would leave the place in Europe where had been staying and travel somewhere else and let another reaper deal with that towns dead. After a while, Nikolai soon came to Hullin, it was a small but bustling town that didn’t have a reaper yet in it’s midst, so Nikolai set up the antique shop he now runs there and has been there for a little bit over half a year now. Every now and then he’ll go to the town just over the hill, Easthaven, to trade with other shop owners or private dealers and collectors or simply to see what that towns residents are up to. He knows they aren’t human and that most of the ones he’s seen aren’t like him, he’s okay with that.
Headcanons (At least 3):
Nikolai can see the spirits of the dead, those who recently passed away and those who have long since been dead. He can talk and communicate with them, sometimes touch them if they are recently deceased. He can’t control or exorcise them.
He has a vast collection of knives and swords that he’s collected over the years that are displayed both in his home and store. The ones in his store aren’t up for sale but he might trade them with you if you have something that peaks his interest a bit.
If anyone, human or non, where to find out exactly who he was and asked for a deal to enhance there life’s length or to ask if there life could be spared. He wouldn’t do it, well without getting something in return. You’d either have to strike a bargain were you both get something of equal value or you would have to out smart him into doing it.
Sample Rp (At least 1 paragraph):
He didn’t bother to greet anyone who passed him verbally, he would only give them a curt nod in response to their hellos or waves. Nikolai never stopped to chat, even if he did it wouldn’t be for long. He really had no intentions to get friendly or befriend anyone in this town, he didn’t intend to befriend anyone at all really if he could avoid it.
Why would anyone of his kind want to get close to anyone knowing that even if you did get well acquainted once, your final meeting… won’t exactly be a happy one for the other person. Being a Grim Reaper for an area didn’t allow you any real room for making personal contacts. After a while he’d have to get up and move anyway, if anyone got suspicious at all about his appearance and why he didn’t seem to age, something would happen, what he didn’t want to find out.
‘Besides’, Nikolai thought as he stepped out of the way for someone to pass him on the sidewalk. ‘Only getting close makes sure that everyone gets hurt in the end, even more so then they need to be.’

Anything else you’d like to add/say: I’ll probably explain more about Nikolai and what he does with his powers, how they work, and some other things more on his blog if I get accepted. Thank you for reading my application.
