death has various faces as it is not really bound to any one shape or form, & so its fc may change on occasion. i have a list of various faceclaims, & they run the gamut in terms of ethnicity, age ( though none younger than early 20s ), sex, gender identity, etc. the only thing they really have in common is, for the most part, they have dark hair.
THE CURRENT FACECLAIM IS ADAM BRODY. mostly from ready or not ( 2019 ), but occasionally from more recent works, too. therefore death currently presents as a man in his mid thirties to early forties.
death goes by any singular pronouns. if in doubt, use he or it. or simply use death or sable.
death is neither good nor bad. death just is.
threads will be written in FIRST PERSON pov. you do not have to copy this, dw
nsfw may be present, & will always be tagged 'nsfw /'
similarly, i tag triggers as 'TRIGGER /'. i tag everything common, but let me know if you have specifics.
i have a banned fc list, but as i rarely if ever see them these days, i won't bother listing them out. for characters, i do not write with canon rapists, paedophiles, school shooters, racists, or anything of the like. this includes, but is not limited to : tate langdon, billy hargrove, chuck bass, freddy krueger, & others.
as death is omniscient & omnipresent, i am happy to write with characters who have been killed, who have killed, who deal with death, who are trying to bargain with death, who are dying etc. characters do not need to be alive to interact. it is death, after all.
on that note : death is not an active killer. it gets blamed for deaths, but all it does is help on make the transition from one world to the next. it is not sickness, it is not a gun, it is not anything that actively kills someone. it is just the result. but yes . . . it can be bargained with. rarely.
• example : the first death in final destination ( 2000 ) - the one where death was wholly actively complicit ? that is not correct. the rest of the deaths in the series - where they could feasibly be accidents ? that's death. an inevitability.
immortality is obviously something that will crop up for some characters, but it is likely they too will at least have experienced death in some capacity, be it the death of a loved one if not themself.
i do think death should be smooched & i'm not afraid to say it. it is a lonely & often thankless job, & oftentimes the wrong people use its name to give themselves a pass for doing bad things. sometimes it just wants to feel appreciated, despite it all.
death is pansexual panromantic. do with that what u will.
be a nice person, pls & thank u.
