Can I become the red Horseman of the apocalypse instead? Giant ass swords are cooler than scythes in my opinion. I could also abuse the power in numerous ways like... walking into the dev studio that made darksiders and yelling "You made my character into an angsty ***** you assholes!"

I have too much honor, to take a life without reason.
But you wouldnt do it without reason, thats not the point.
There is a difference between "prepared to die" and "[it's your] time to die". There is no moral reason in taking a life, because you "have to". No moral, no honor.

You have much to learn, young one.
Guy it has nothing to do with honour or opinion, when someone dies you take their soul, because thats your job, because you are a Reaper. Have you not read "Mort"? You cannot just let them live and you cannot kill at random, thats called being irresponsable. But thats if you consider Reaping as a job. Ifs its just a thing you do then I suspose your way works, although this may piss alot of people off but you might get laid. WOOOOO!

It's funny, 'cause my answers to this lies in one of the other posts in this thread. But, yes! Being death is a job, a duty if you will, and i fully understand that. This thread is though about one becoming a reaper, and i therefore assumed, one's policy (regarding personality) would stay the same...

I would immediately accept, go kill Jared Leto, and mourn my foolishness.
I dunno man, sounds like a good idea to me.

Hmm... This is a tough one. I don't like the idea of causing people pain, but in the moment I'd probably cave and because the reaper.

On the upside, no one would be able to stop me! I would just need to find a way to deal with that pesky bunch, the seasons, wind, sun, and rain. It's like the fear nothing!

I would take his offer but I could use all this time to think about life and death,love and despair so it would make me alot deeper plus I could be anywhere at any time.

So yeah being death would be awesome and I would just accept the fact that it wasn't me who killed them but I'm just cleaning the afterlife.

Though becoming the angel of death would meen instaly knowing when all your loved ones would die and the way they would meet their demise. You would also cause the person you are "reaping" pain beyond belief. You would also share their pain and their death permantley ecched into your mind forever. You are also able to walk among the dead as well as the living.

Or you could just return back to life just the way you were.

So I ask you now do you become Death?

Or I could just be Susan. Death's adopted granddaughter who takes over like in Terry Prachett's Soul Music.

Susan Sto Helit (also spelled Sto-Helit), once referred to as Susan Death, is a fictional character in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of fantasy novels. She is the "granddaughter" of Death, the Disc's Grim Reaper, and, as such, has "inherited" a number of his abilities. She has to date appeared in three Discworld novels: Soul Music, Hogfather, and Thief of Time. She is also referenced (though not by name) at the end of Mort, when her father invites Death to her christening. She is one of the Discworld series' principal protagonists. Being both human and supernatural, Susan is frequently (and reluctantly) forced away from her "normal" life to do battle with various malign supernatural forces or, barring that, to take on her grandfather's job in his absence. Death tends to employ her in his battles against the Auditors of Reality, particularly in situations where he has no power or influence. As the series progresses, she also begins to take on roles educating children, so that, as Pratchett mentions in The Art of Discworld, she has "ended up, via that unconscious evolution that dogs [his] characters, a kind of Goth Mary Poppins".

Plus I get to hang out with the Grim Squeaker, Binky, and Quoth

I'd wager there's a reason he had to retire. And if it's anything like the version of a man becoming Death that I think it is, I get a freaking awesome limousine as a perk!

I think that Death was there to ferry the more 'grey' souled people to the other side for judgment or whatever, as opposed to people who were genuinely heavenly good or hellishly evil.

I never said, we should "wait" for people to be ready to die. I merely stated that, there is a difference. The difference indicates the reason for taking a life. One is policy the other is duty.
but your assuming that ever single one of these deaths is unwarrented

like im sure you would have no issue touching someone whos heavily injured in a car crash and logic says that person should have died in that car crash(this assumes that the only way to die is to be touched by a reaper)

while you view it as morally wrong

i see it as balance

also murder is the wrong term. to me murder is the vengeful or traumatic taking of a life

if i was told i had to go get a rocket launcher and blow someone up of course id have an issue with that

but most deaths have a reason be it gunshot heart attack aneurism

any death where i had to personally inflict terror on the person would be a no go

but a passing touch would be fine(and theres nothing to say that you couldnt be nice about it "any final wishes" and what not if you wanted to)

Vampire? Nu-huh. Motherflopping DEATH? Oh, hells yeah. Besides, the whole "unimaginable pain" thing wouldn't matter in the slightest, seeing that I would be an immortal indefinite force instead of a corporeal being and would be able to shrug off pain the same way the rest of us shrug off bathwater.

I think I could deal with it. It would be interesting to know how everyone you know is going to die and you could always offer the job to some unsuspect soul...

Eternety, Hmm...

No, sorry.

You will eventually be all alone in the universe forever, kids.

So I'd rather keep living.
