History: Revelation 6:7 - 6:8 - “And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a pale horse; and she that sat on him was called Death, and Hades followed with her. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, and that they (the four horsemen) should kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Death's family history is settled in legends and Greek mythology. After the rise of Christianity and the concept of heaven and hell, of the separations of good souls and bad souls, Hades realm of the simply dead became barren except for the ancient souls that had already resided there. Hades, while a loving father, did not understand Death's aversion to her own birthplace, and chalked it up to her taking after her mother, Persephone. Persephone, as the tales have, was the daughter of the harvest goddess, Demeter, and was stolen one day while wandering away from her maidens by Hades, who had been entranced by her beauty. While Persephone was held captive as his bride in the underworld, the harvest goddess refused to do her duties, and the land fell into a long, hard winter. Finally, Hermes was sent to the underworld to retrieve Persephone so her mother would bring sunlight back to the humans. But she had eaten a few seeds from a pomegranate, and was doomed to spend part of the year with her husband, the time in which winter now resides.

Death's older brother, the grim reaper, serves as a fetcher of newly-dead souls. Despite both their parents being alive, it seems that living in the underworld had decimated their bodies, and are both rotting, walking corpses, the reaper himself reduced to a skeleton. While her brother reveled in the realm of the dead, Death had a temperament much more similar to her mothers, and requested her father to allow her to go and live in the human realm, with her grandmother. She spent her time helping to control the population, making sure over-surpluses didn't destroy civilizations and stopping animals from over-breeding. Recently, she was recruited to become the fourth rider of the fabled Apocalypse, and to play the part of her namesake. Although she was not entirely pleased to hear this, her father upon hearing this proud news, pledged to follow her and help when the time was right.

1. (this is just me being a nit pick) Gaia is the greek goddess of the earth. You're thinking of Demeter, who is the Greek goddess of the Harvest.
2. Because of the no more god rule, Hades cannot come in and help. I mean...he can pop up every now and then and offer advice, but that's it.
3. As long as she can't do anything god like, this is fine.

earth, harvest, whatever.


I just figured since Hades was already mentioned in the prophesy as closely following the fourth rider, it wold be cool to incorporate him into the story a bit. He doesn't really have to participate.

And she does have powers, you know, the life sucking thing? I mean, I guess she's human, because Persephone wasn't a goddess, more like a nymph, or maybe even human herself, ummm....dammit! Why did I make this so goddamn confusing?!

Basically, Death can be killed in battle, and eventually of old age, so she's not immortal. She's more of a corpse, but very zombie-related in that sense. Like the video games: Cut their head off and they're dead for good. I think the disease thing is just a funny quirk, so we'll let that go, I don't think yoko will feel the need to give her the plague, right? She doesn't have any other powers besides killing crops, inflicting rabies, going really fast sometimes, and eventually she'll be able to suck the very life out of inconsequential humans, but for important people she's non-confrontational. She got these powers from her father, so do they still count? And when she does figure out the scythe, it'll be like the lamer, not-as-awesome little brother of the greatsword.

You're good then.
