can we hear more about carlos if you'd be so generous (genuine)

OH GLADLY. so ive mentioned hes the protag of a thing im making, so i wanted the broad strokes of his premise to be simple: he's a reaper! made to go up and bring souls to wherever the hell they go after death, ect ect. he was pretty good at it!

but the setting im writing here is a pretty standard "death but its a bureaucracy" type thing. something something small business growth, higher demand, things get streamlined, job title changes, ect

so he was Less Good at the desk job angle. but he worked at it! once again, he's one of the best!

is it what he was originally created to do? no. is it what he thought he'd be doing for eternity when he decided he found the most personal fulfillment in being good at what he does? not really. is it so drastically different that it's actually atrophying some facets of his personality a little? maybe. is he happy?

the important thing is, he's good at it!

#anon #psychopompous #im being vague as if i dont have the entire lore of him and his work mapped out like three times over because its Not Relevant #its just something for Me to Chew On. the game aint even about him it's about marianne getting her head cut off and being mad about it #but i adore him so. he gets A Lot Of Thought Allocation on a daily basis lol #even wrote a short orpheus retelling with this idiot. im in deep #anyway thank u for the ask it like physically granted me energy im always happy to talk about the weird skeleton guys that live in my head #doodles
