So basically, this is set in a medieval fantasy universe where weird things beyond your imagination (Well, maybe not beyond it exactly, but pretty close.) are happening every Wednesday-or any other day of the week, we don't discriminate- and magic commonly occurs, at least in the main city because it can.

Young hopefuls go to the Hiring Fair to become apprentices every year. Erica has gone for five years, and she still hasn't become an apprentice. Just a few minutes before midnight, when the fair is nearly over, a mysterious skeleton man comes to Erica with an offer that would be considered "Once in a lifetime" since the offer came from Death.
"Do I have to die to get the job, Sir?"
"DO I LOOK DEAD TO YOU?"
"Erm… kind of, yes, Sir."
"THAT WAS A VERY GOOD ANSWER. VERY REALISTIC. BUT NO, BEING DEAD IS NOT REQUIRED."
"Erm, you're Death though. You go around killing people. No offense, Sir."
"I? NO. PEOPLE GO AROUND GETTING THEMSELVES KILLED. I JUST TAKE ON FROM THERE. BLOODY STUPID WORLD IF PEOPLE WENT AROUND GETTING KILLED WITHOUT DYING, WOULDN'T IT BE?"
"Oh. I suppose so, Sir."
"DO YOU WISH TO TAKE MY OFFER, GIRL?"
"Well, I don't think I'll get a better offer. I suppose so, yes. Yes I will, Sir."

And it all goes haywire from there. This story will be full of misadventures and it's supposed to be a comedy, so don't be serious, this is supposed to be an easygoing roleplay.
RULES:
Same as andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s, romance won't really be a big thing no offense seeing as Death being in a relationship would be really weird.
TEMPLATE
For Erica:
Name: Erica
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance: Ginger red hair to shoulders, icy blue eyes, tall, skinny, very prominent freckles, slightly tanned skin tone.
Personality: Clumsy, rarely thinks before she acts and is incredibly compassionate. Very well-meaning and clever and curious but her curiosity normally gets the better of her.
Backstory: Whatever you want, your choice.
Other: She has gained several abilities from Death after taking on the job, such as:
Walking through walls
Existing outside of time
Only getting intoxicated (Drunk) when she feels like it
Being able to locate any living being (the Gods and Goddesses don't count, nor does Death.)
Sort-of immortal (She can't die of old age or disease but still requires things like food and water and can be killed by conventional means such as poison or being stabbed, etc. Death cannot die however, hence her immortality being referred to as sort-of.)
Turn invisible to mortal beings

For Death: (And by the way, Death is my character)
Name: Death
Age: No frickin' idea. He was there when time began, and will be there when it ends.
Gender: Masculine, although not male. It's hard to explain.
Appearance: He's a skeleton. Need I say more? Very prominent cheekbones (Lol cuz he's a skeleton, get it? Okay, okay, it was a bad pun! Don't sue me!) and has blue lights like mini stars where a normal human's eyes should be.
Personality: Death, contrary to popular belief, isn't cruel. Mostly terribly good at his job. Also, his job isn't strictly to kill, rather to collect the souls of the dead. Death is fascinated by humanity (Given that he took on a human apprentice (Erica)) but doesn't understand it whatsoever and is frequently baffled by it. This fascination has evolved into a sympathy for humans, and has on rare occasions extended the life of a mortal being. He is very fair but also takes things literally, sarcasm and metaphors aren't something he understands. Death is very wise but has a history of foolhardy philosophizing and leaving his post on rare occasions.
Backstory: Develop, since he has lived a very long life.
Other: Death is not invisible. Most people just refuse to acknowledge him for who he is, unless he insists. Under normal circumstances, only those of a magical disposition (e.g. Witches and wizards), children and cats can see him, or allow themselves to see him. He is part of The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse (War, Famine, and Disease are also Horsemen) but generally doesn't show up to meetings. Of course, their meetings aren't to terrorize humanity but rather to just relax and tell stories of recent events they had taken part in and share a few drinks. Color, music, cooking, time, physical space, and indoor plumbing have escaped his grasp, as his domain is completely black in color, he doesn't need to eat although he does enjoy the occasional curry, and the fact that he has made several failed attempts at the violin, along with having no idea how pipes and faucets work. He can go anywhere where death (The concept, not he himself) exists so he sees no meaning in time or space, and of course his home is bigger on the inside due to him not understanding physical space or the laws of physics. He has the same abilities I gave to Erica (Minus the sort-of immortality, he is Death so he isn't even allowed to die, and also he has more abilities that I didn't give to Erica because reasons.) along with being able to step outside of time, stop and resume time, remember both the past and all possible futures, grant extra life and even immortality, and use his voice to command or instill fear in others (In fact, it generally does that on it's own.) and temporarily paralyze/stop the heart (or other organs depending on the situation) of any living being, along with instantly killing any living being (Although he rarely does this (Unless he has no other choice) as it would risk destroying the entirety of reality.) along with a few other powers not listed here currently.

Yeah, I probably made this a bit too detailed. Don't judge me. Anyways, I think that's enough to go on, when someone joins then I guess this roleplay could begin? Yeah, generally when someone joins this would begin lol.

I made a character (Erica) for whoever joins, I'm hoping you use her but…?

Death went to saddle his horse, but slipped on an icy patch. "OH BUGGER." he said, trying to stand up but yet again slipping.

Deleted user

(Well, not very well. But yes, she knows of him, seeing as they just met and he apprenticed her.)

Deleted user

"ARE YOU PREPARED TO DEPART?" Death asked, regaining balance. The funny thing about his voice was the fact that it did register inside your head, you did hear it, but his voice never seemed to bother passing through your ears.

"YOU SEEM TO BE AMUSED. WHAT IS IT YOU ARE GIGGLING LIKE A SMALL CHILD AT?" Death asked.

Deleted user

"MY APOLOGIES. I ONLY WISHED TO KNOW WHAT YOU FOUND AMUSING." Death said.

Deleted user

"HOW AM I AMUSING TO YOU?" Death asked, truly curious.

@A5_ WICKED

She scoffs slightly but shakes her head, "Ice. Ya know. Slipping."
(Sorry if Im getting her character completely wrong T~T)

Deleted user

"OH. NO MATTER. IF YOU ARE PREPARED TO DEPART, THEN WE SHALL LEAVE AT ONCE."

Deleted user

"HAVE YOU NOT NOTICED I HAVE A HORSE?" Death asked.
