The
chromatic Deaths (known individually as Red Death, Blue Death, etc) are
mythological figures who act as
psychopomps. They are often portrayed as
genderless.
They probably originate on Shade (although Mutt isn't sure on this, and may change des mind). They show up in story books and are probably known to be fictional, not really believed to exist.
In the stories they sometimes talk in poetry: Red in pentameter, Black in tetrameter, Blue in trimeter and Green in blank verse. White speaks single words at a time.
Red Death
Red is the death of people who die violently (by "murder, mayhem, mishap"), including in
war.
[1] Red is portrayed as the most jovial.
Weft once played the Red Death at a party.
White Death
White collects children, including those who die by the areas covered by the other Deaths. White is portrayed as a sad and frightening figure.
Blue Death
Blue collects those who die by drowning, and a few other water-related causes. Blue does not speak much.
Green Death
Green is the death of poison, gengrene and some tropical diseases. Green is portrayed as somewhat greasy and paranoid.
Black Death
Black is the relief of those who are suffering from long-term or wasting diseases, and collects those who die from old age.
[1] Black is portrayed as forbidding, yet often a welcome sight to its charges.
Suitov Iceheart once wore the costume of Black Death at a party, at Weft's insistence.
