Death

The father of DJ, Death is a calm and cool character. One needs to be when you have his job. He takes, or reaps, the souls of those whose time has come, and keeps a balance and order to life and death respectively. He lives in suburbia with his wife and son in a Leave it to Beaver kind of setting.

Physical Description:
He’s Death, black robe, huge hood, skeleton. Often carries a “Worlds Greatest Dad” coffee cup, printed in big black letters, or a scythe. Secretly likes carrying the coffee cup more. Death can keep his kewl in any situation and isn’t surprised by much, so it takes a lot to get him to raise his voice. He’s not mono-tone or boring though.
