God of Death and Time

God of Death and Time (a.k.a. The End, Death Herself, The Guiding Light, Pearl)

She is the end, and the beginning. She is the one who guides souls to the afterlife, she is the light at the end of the tunnel. She is the reason why souls carry on after their bodies have died, their last few breaths of energy bringing them to the eternal river to be refreshed.   She carries the power over death and time, a power that many dream to have. This is an enormous weight on her shoulders, and she bares it well and with the weight of inevitability. She fulfills her responsibilities and gives her orders because she is the One who can, and who should. She's done this for countless years, and will continue for countless more.   If people lived for all of time, their lives wouldn't mean anything. They need to have a bound, an endpoint to center their goals around. Otherwise, what's the use? This does not make her a particularly loved God, since people don't always have as much time as they though, but she is certainly respected by those who understand.

Intellectual Characteristics

She's talked to a lot of souls that have come through her domain. So, she knows their specific accomplishments, and how the world has progressed through time. She hasn't experienced a whole lot of the world itself though, because souls don't talk about the boring bits that everyone knows.

Morality & Philosophy

Everyone has the chance to redeem themselves, no matter how terrible. They might just need a bit of time to figure it out. And she has time to give.

Doesn't understand how close to stand to someone when talking to them, and tends to stand too close, which is intimidating. Doesn't understand survival instinct.

Likes & Dislikes

Loves the dark, barely ever turns the lights on. Darkness is warmth and protection and peace. Loves spicy chai and snickerdoodles. Loves her hair being done up and undone by her love. Loves watching little ants go about their day. Loves watching the rain.   Absolutely loathes the God of Life and their goals, but allows them to live because they provide a necessary role in the cycle of Life and Death.
