Which personification of death would you want?

[dvd_72]

In most cultures there's a personification of Death. The most well known in the west to be the Grim Reaper, a man in a black robe with a scyth to reap his harvest of souls for the afterlife.

Then there's the Greek Hadies, lord of thier underworld.

And these are just the two that come to my mind! Seeing as my knowledge on the persona of Death in various cultures is limited, a poll will have to wait.

So tell me Escapists, which version of death would you like to come take your soul when you finally pass on? Is it one you find interesting? Perhaps it's the one your religion teaches you about. Or maybe a portrayal from a popular (or largely unknown) book/movie/play/storytelling medium?

I pick soul reapers just for the heck of it and maybe if they are real i can become one.

Can I get the Valyries from Norse mythology, who come and whisk me away to Valhalla whee I might join my fellow Einherjar in waging eternal war alongside the gods?

 

[DJDarque]

Definitely this guy.

The maybe we can fight stuff together. That'd be pretty awesome. XD

 

[Exo-Mike]

Death from Discworld
we could maybe go for a decent curry before "the duty"
at least he would be quite sympathetic.

Damn you beat me too it.

Would like to challange him to a game of dungeons and dragons inspired by xkcd

Damn you ninjaman.

Then there's the roman Greek Hades, lord of thier underworld.

Roman would be Pluto. Also, Thanatos [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanatos] takes the Grim Reaper role for Greek mythology. Sorry, kind of nitpicky.

OT: Obviously Discworld's Death. Guy's awesome.

You're all fouls! This is what comes to get me when I die.

Keep you're Grim Reaper, I have Valkyries! Kinda makes you wanna die...

Will be sure to change it. Thanks for that

Probably Valkyries, I mean a stunningly beautiful woman decending from the heavens to whisk me off to a realm of endless wine, wenchs and warfare, what's not to like? Though I've never been fully clear on what happens if you get killed in Valhalla as well, so the good bits might be pretty short lived if you die for good.

 

[juy56]

death as depicted in family guy, that way i could just annoy him till he says "fuck it, if i send you back to life will you leave me alone?!?!?!?"

*Looks at avatar*
If I die just chillin out someplace then definitely squeak, he'd be so adorable and if I did something to be noticed by the other guy then I'm sure we'd have a great discussion before we head out.

If death shows up as a result of my heroic and epic deeds than a gorgeous Valkyrie will do nicely.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Terry Pratchett's. Obviously.

You die and are ressurected each day in training for Ragnarok where you die...I'm not sure what happens after that. I believe you're soul is free to make it's own Vahalla. (I'm Asatru by the way if you think I'm just talking to look knowledgable)

 

[InsanelyZanter]

This one. More likely then not I could intimidate him enough to just let me walk right back out.

 

[Mr Thin]

Since the Death from Discworld is taken, my vote goes to Gregg.

Spoiler: Gaze into the face of death itself.

Edit: From Conker's Bad Fur Day, if you didn't know.

 

[Dr.Awsome]

Death from Sandman

 

[arcade109]

If I can be voiced by James Woods then Hades

 

[Aris Khandr]

Umm.... duh?

Spoiler

Death may as well be cute.
