I'm a fan of the Gungrave games but they were simplistic so I decided to make an RP based off of it, delving further into the the life as a Deadman.
A Deaman is someone who has died and been brought back to "life" through the necrolization process. The necrolization process alters the Deadman's genetic code so their bodies no longer produce blood cells but use them in a way that hyper accelerates healing. Their death freezes their aging so as long as the Deadman is kept alive they never age.
Deadmen were created to act as supersoldiers being an indestructible force on the battle field, but it has gotten out of control and the Deadmen are rarely seen being soldiers and are often used as weapons by terrorist groups lucky enough to have access to the technology, other Deadmen have broken any bonds to groups and do whatever they want to. Most Deadmen need blood transfusions to be maintained, if they are not they will die.
A Deadman is significantly more durable then a normal human, they can take shots to the head and can endure what would kill a normal man, but they are not immortal and can still be killed.

1st Generation- First Generation Deadmen are made by the original necrolization process, the technology is outdated and but still widely used due to cost. These Deadmen need a blood transfusion roughly every two weeks before their body starts to break down.
2nd Generation- A new revolution in the process has allowed these Deadmen to retain some of the bodies ability to produce new blood cells but they still need transfusions to survive. They can last significantly longer then 1st Gen.
3rd Generation- Though the method of making Third Generation Deadmen is older then the Second a vital component is no longer accessible, this makes Third Gen Deadmen extremely rare. Using a drug called Seed in the necrolization process these Deadmen can last indefinitely, this leaves a part of their body crystallized but still usable, they are still killable though. The use of Seed in the necrolization process leaves them addicted, but Seed has been gone for years, so the addiction has ended.
Ghosts- Not Deadmen but they hold the same characteristics of them. Ghosts have died and some reason has kept them bound to the mortal plane. Often some item of extreme personal value holds their spirit, they can manifest a physical body that is as vulnerable as a Deadman's, they can be killed and if the item that hold their spirit is destroyed this also kills them.

Age: 17
Deadman Type:2nd Generation
Gender: Male
Appearance: Body covered in stitches that hold him together. Wears a faded AC/DC shirt, jeans, and worn out shoes.
How they died: Suicide
Bio:Tommy lived with an upscale family, and hated every minute of it. He could stand the order, how pristine everything had to be. One day Tommy couldn't stand it. He jumped out of a window to end it all, unaware there was a running woodchipper underneath. Tommy's parents couldn't stand it. Tommy wasn't gonna get out of this that easy. So they collected the pieces together and brought him back from the dead. (They're upper class, money is no object to them.) Tommy woke up in a hospital bed to find his parents start to lecture him. They ignored him trying to kill himself to escape them, and treated it as though he were grounded. So Tommy left. He figured being a vagabond was better than living in a home where no one cared. He now travels in a circus, visiting small town who do not know about the technology used to keep him alive.

Name: Shepard Elwood
Nickname: Sheath
Age:20
Deadman Type:3rd Gen. Crystllization localised across his lower back.
Gender:Male
Appearance: Caucasian, 6ft'2 Atheltic build, highly defined upper body and strong legs. Several scars across his upper body and arms from sword fighting. Shoulder length obsiedian black hair which partly falls across his face. Wears a black Kimono (traditional Japanese clothing) with white outline and red inside lining, torn towards the bottom. Deep green eyes. Wears a white plaster across his right cheek bone.
How he died: Hit by a truck saving his sister who tripped crossing the road to bring the lunch he forgot that day.
Bio: *Past and traits* Shepard died saving his younger sister. Thats the last thing he can conciously remember. Sub-conciously he can remember his sword and Kendo training. That being said, Shepard is a swordfighter who's goal is to protect those close to him. He tends to go into things headfirst without planning. So much so that it seems beyond him, not meaning he is unintelligant, just headstrong and impatient.
*Combat* Shepard relys soley on his own body and Katana to fight. His reflexes, strength and speed are far above the average persons. He is ambidextrous, fightning with his sword in his left hand amd his metal sheath held in his right hand positioned along his arm. His Katana is used offensively (being held in the left gives him an advantage over most fighters as the right hand tends to be the faveourite and most people learn to fight in such conditions) and his sheath used to defend. He chose the Katana as its grip is long enough to be used two handed should he ever lose grip on his sheath allowing him to fight more aggressively
