Description
This guy has been long awaited since his descendant Kayven has been posted. This is his ancestor, The Gatekeeper.

NOTE: I do not use any websites outside of DA to rp on. DA is my home and it is the only place this, as well as all my art, will be posted up on, myself unless otherwise stated here. Don't be fooled by impostors.

The master over Death itself, The Gatekeeper is the Reaper in blood, the judgement of Death and Keeper of the dead. He lives within a crypt seemingly cursed in dismay and darkness. Though just as death is, he is not evil nor good as he deals with all souls, good and evil. He is most known for preparing bodies for funerals, treating each body the same no matter the color of blood as Death does not favor--though a bit of pay can bring him to give a bit more attention and care to certain bodies. His graveyard can stretch on for miles as to bury people, a lot of land would be needed. Even his front yard is a graveyard. As the keeper of Death, he takes the role as a guide for the dead to follow and pass on, the lantern hung on his back being the light for lost souls to find their way. He is physically different from most other trolls, the effects done to him from his strange powers over the sweeps of his work. He used to be physically the same as most trolls, though the practice and use of his strange, dark magic has ensnared him and mangled his body with the essence of nightmares--the essence of the Horrorterrors. His body is long, bony and thin. His limbs elongated and legs bent out of normal shape. He walks hunched over with the large bones decorating his back jetting out with the grip of his soul lantern being held out like a beacon.

His strife specubi is his sicklekind, of which he also uses as a walking staff as well as a weapon. Though his sickle is large and heavy, he wields it with skill and speed, it being stained with the blood of past victims. His sickle however, isn't his only weapon. His lantern is also a strife weapon on its own, a unique one as it is linked to his strange, dark magic. As a source for his magic, the dark flame reacts to his will. The flame traps souls within it, twisting the said souls and making them into vengeful spirits who will lash out on command. Taking out this lantern however will greatly limit his use of dark magic. Due to his magic ensnaring him, he has become more beast like not only in appearance but also in tone. His voice is still the same though his vocal sounds like hisses, growls and roars are more beastly--relating his mangled soul to the Horrorterrors more than one usually would through normal means.

In his more secret life, he is also known as a Death Dealer. With his odd skills in the works of death, he can be paid to cull other trolls, no matter their ranking or blood. Being the Death keeper, he finds fun in using his dark magic to either take or save a life. Due to his job as Death itself, he has lacked to find time or interest in meeting people personally, which means no filled quadrants. This however hasn't troubled the Gatekeeper as he has no fear of Death, no fear of the drones. He truly believing his bloodline was the pure embodiment of Death itself, he does his work as a role given to him in his existence. A life role that is dearly important thought can be a very lonely one...

His face, unknown to the world due to the goat skull he wears on his head, his vision is through the nose of the said skull. His body is decorated with the bones of the dead, the skull from a Capricorn as his mask/image of Death.
