Life and Death
Life
- leaks the black goo
- creates life, manages life
Death
- leaks the white goo
- handles death, manages time
- has a cat he kept alive several millennia
- allocates time to the cat, taking it from youth who will grow up to be shitlords; this is an impure use of his powers, sometimes has consequences
- black cat is the reason black cats are feared "who do you think started that myth" etc
- shorter than life
- can affect living beings similar to life in how he allocates time (able to elongate lives, avoid "Collecting" those due to die) but again - consequences/rammifications. cannot create life, at best might be able to reanimate the dead oops
ill delete this page after brainstorming is complete!!!!!
history
abilities
life
no subject
- controls life (creation, animals/plants, enhances growth, creates mutations, controls health and sickness, enhances fertility, etc.)
- while Death adds time to extend someone's life, Life reverses time. so if someone is about to die and he reverts them to their health state like 9 months ago that means they have 9 months to live from this point on
- this is how he revives things as well!?
- life does give a fuck about people! but he's also a selfish prankster bitch who doesn't mind teaching them a lesson probably lmao
- can alter his body at will, same goes for other living beings (does this include death?? do you want it to include death. and if so what would be the reverse equivalent)
- somehow has a way of always appearing like he's taller than the person he's talking to? probably with limits because if there are like humanoid characters 10ft tall that's gonna let them clock life way too easily. unless he just doesn't give a fuck! that seems like his vibe
- likes to garden. he cheats, obviously
- bugs are cool
- can he read life energy?? like if Someone Was Here regarding growing plants etc. where they should not be growing/weren't there the previous day he'd Know who and where they came from
death
no subject
- controls death (what is death? it is the act of expiring; it is aging, it is is decaying, it is to cease to exist and be reallocated into energy and matter, it is wilting flowers and last breaths, it is a black raging river just as it is a calm black creek, it is time and what time means)
- can kill or "collect" people, animals, any form of living creature, being, existence around him that is able to die can be affected by him (includes viruses lol?)
- able to allocate time; if someone is on the brink of death, or due for their life to end (what is the method of seeing that? strings? timers? just an ability to know?) he has the ability to extend it either by allocating time from somewhere else (The better option but also Sus) or letting them live on "borrowed" time which is more unstable, as there's no counter balance in place and that often gets displaced elsewhere
- fma equivalent exchange speech
- example of like. extremes: save someone's life, someone that person knows dies instead. someone they don't know dies instead (it's not necessarily tethered but death finds a way), or in contrast allowing a soul/person to live longer kills things around them at the time (ie; gives cat another life, all the plants nearby wither to compensate)
- death doesn't rly give a fuck about people so much as animals and plants, sry, you did that to yourselves
-are all souls equal? a cat to a human, a mouse to a lion, etc
- are there souls, do souls recycle/reincarnate or is all life just life until it's death and those "souls" just become energy to be reused (HARD EXISTENCE QUESTIONS)
undecided
Re: undecided
life can bring things back to life, through healing but death has to return the time to them for it to work & death can kill people if they're due for it but to kill someone w/o reason means life needs to allocate their l...ife energy... where as death takes their time
life: energy, healing, health, vitality, youth
death: existence, duration, decay, time, age
no subject
- the reverse must also happen with death mechanics idk
- balance!! codependent!!!1
no subject
what if they both can revive people/things but:
- if death revives something alone he is only giving it time, it is destined to die again on a timer unless life reverses time in addition to that / then that person's fated death is not set in stone
- if life revives something alone he is reversing time but not giving them additional time which see above is very linear but death can come realign things
- if they revive someone together, they are reversing & giving time
if someone doesn't have both halves in being revived, they're destined to die again on a very numerical scale. (which sometimes is what these two want tbh) but if they want to truly not be "fated" to die and again live organically, they have to be revived together IDK IF tHIS MAKES SENSE
but also with life should come death so they'll have to tip the scales back in other ways if they revive people willy nilly. life for a life, energy for energy
other/concepts
no subject
life and death were the only ones. a shared person or two halves of a whole that separated and existed before all else. and through existing they saw the world blossom. life created, death took away and the managed the system of life and death together
as it grew and expanded they maintain their influence (mayhaps they can do this remotely; like breathing air, they tap into the system at play - running rivers in opposite directions that when needed they can personally manipulate, in the moment, but otherwise maintain themselves) bc otherwise there's too much to micromanage
ie. death's always happening all around but he can walk into a supermarket and be in its immediate effects and intervene or collect; handling death/time directly vs letting it wash away in the river to be recycled back through life's channels
no subject
they set things up as they like but leave the stuff to its own devices until they feel like intervening
but ofc they have to maintain some things/introduce new stuff as well
so they're not like. OMNISCIENT GODS WHO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME because thats too much work ok
no subject
- life and death were angry at each other for some reason and did not talk for a long time
- but being apart for so long meant death was aging and aging meanwhile life was getting too young
- death 'died' which is step one to the apocalypse because wtf do you do without death existing??
- and so life found him and revived him which is step two of the apocalypse because he was 'corrupted' with contradicting forces and boom
ultimately it was necessary because life also peaces out of existence without death and so it was a 'either we destroy everything or we disappear and i'm too selfish to let us disappear' rip dinosaurs
no subject
- like idk necromancers, death lords, the undead, dead organic matter, etc. would be more aligned with death vs. people who can grow plants, create life, control animals somehow, are more aligned with life??
- and so life and death feel protective of their respective people somehow

[Sully is death incarnate and comes with a variety of triggering concepts such as the topic of death, decay, murder and other themes yet to be warned for. Please let us know whether your character aligns with life or death as that is something Sully'd note upon meeting them! Reach me at

[insert how that happened]
Reduced to essence and then reformed, Death as he once was known was split into four separate (known) components known colloquially as the Four Riders. Pestilence/White Horse, War/Red Horse, Famine/Black Horse and Death itself on the Pale Horse.
Technically there are the potential for 3 more "seals" or sections of division but 4 is probably more than enough for this bitch.
