Overview
Laverna

Laverna Von Hexametre is the grim reaper, a powerful and intimidating individual, and the ruler of Memori, the underworld. Laverna tends to keep to himself; his personality and emotions are somewhat of an enigma. Those he works with are intimidated by him and know him for having a cold and harsh exterior, but also for being diligent and highly dedicated to his work. He’s meticulous and quick to reprimand anyone not getting the job done right.

The truth is, Laverna’s seriousness is a result of him still being relatively new to the job and feeling as though he has to prove his authority to those who have been around longer than him. As a consequence of wanting to prove himself, he goes out of his way to avoid showing vulnerability and asking for help. Maybe if he did, he wouldn't have lost that eye.

In spite of their reputation as having a no-nonsense attitude, Laverna likes joking around and messing with others, although their sense of humor is often twisted, and people have trouble telling whether they're being serious or not.

Trivia
  • There was another Grim Reaper before Laverna; nobody knows or remembers much about him, though. Laverna refers to him as Old Death.
  • Laverna has a fondness for roses; for some reason, they don't die when she touches them like other plants do.
  • Occasionally, Laverna may choose to shapeshift into forms slightly more horrifying to get attention, intimidate, or just scare people for a laugh.
  • Laverna was once mortal, but they don't care to discuss the details of their past. Many of their memories are unclear anyway.
  • In spite of their relatively feminine appearance, Laverna's voice is masculine and fairly deep.
Abilities

Death Divinity


Laverna's position as the currently standing grim reaper grants them authority over the underworld, the ability to take the souls of others, and the ability to travel between the living and spirit worlds.

Scythe Proficiency


Laverna's scythe isn't only for taking souls; they're an expert when it comes to wielding it as a weapon.

Shapeshifting


Laverna chooses to take on a humanoid form, not unlike their mortal body, but is able to alter their appearance limitlessly with one caveat: their left eye cannot be replaced. In pain or frustration, Laverna may occasionally unwittingly lose their grip on their form.

Relationships
Pippy

Pippy - Friend...more?


There's something about Pippy that Laverna feels drawn to. Does she remind them of someone they knew in their past life? Who knows, but one thing's for sure: he wants to protect her and that smile of hers, even if he can't explain why. It helps that Pippy doesn't seem to be afraid of him.

PomPom

PomPom - Tension


Laverna doesn't really like PomPom, and it's not because she calls him an edge-lord. He can't stand people who take their power for granted and fool around as much as her.

Viviana

Viviana - Friend


Laverna and Viviana have a civil relationship; there are no problems there. Though they remain curious about the dark presence they can sense from within her.

Sebastian

Sebastian - Friend...?


Laverna admittedly has both trouble socializing and a dark and confusing sense of humor. They don't intend to freak him out with their jokes half as much as they do. Truthfully, Laverna would actually like to be friends. They'll get there someday.

Sylph

Sylph - ???


Sylph has offered her guidance to Laverna numerous times over the years they've been in power, but Laverna can't bring herself to accept it. They already had a mentor once, and he's gone.

Sapphira

Sapphira - ...


...he'll get his eye back eventually.
