BACKSTORY

as long as there has been life, there has been death. when people die, they require safe passage to reach the afterlife - this is odysseus' job. as a young man he was once a living human being, but he met an unfortunate end shortly before his 26th birthday. unwilling to accept his fate and spend eternity in the afterlife, he wandered aimlessly for decades, avoding any reaper who came to claim him.

eventually the other reapers grew weary of chasing him and, in turn, offered him the opportunity to become one of their own. odysseus quickly accepted, hardly understanding the importance of his newly acquired occupation. he saw it merely as an attempt to avoid a boring, dreary fate in the afterlife, never really considering what sort of mess he might cause with such a lax attitude. nevertheless, odysseus knows how to do his job and doesn't necessiarily mind doing it... whenever he gets around to it, that is.

when not on the job, he can typically be found one of two places: wandering around the world of the living looking for something to entertain himself, or hiding out with hamlet in order to shirk his duties.

RELATIONSHIPS

hamlet: odysseus is hamlet's closest and only friend. while the two are polar opposites in almost every regard, the nature of their work requires the two to work very closely with one another, and as the years passed, the pair grew closer. odysseus feels a heavy compassion and pity for what has become of hamlet; hamlet, on the other hand, envies odysseus' free-spirited nature, though he'll never admit it, even to himself.

PERSONALITY

while many would assume at first glance that odysseus is a stern, serious person, they couldn't be farther from the truth. despite his less-than-glamorous occupation, odysseus isn't the kind of person to let it affect him. he is, at heart, a laid-back and quite clumsy individual, qualities that have, in fact, made his job much easier. people seem to be far more receptive to a reaper who isn't shrouded in doom and gloom like the stereotypical image that predominates many cultures of the living.

odysseus is neither witty nor scholarly. he is incredibly impulsive and rarely thinks before he acts, much to the chagrin of his best friend and close associate, hamlet. he loves nothing more than to have a good time, regardless of the consequences of his actions. he doesn't take his work as seriously as he should, and frequently causes a myriad of problems for hamlet in some way or another. nevertheless, he is a true friend, and somehow he manages to avoid the wrath of hamlet.

APPEARANCE

odysseus is relatively tall and almost unnaturally thin. being that he's technically dead, he doesn't really feel the need to eat very often, and he usually ends up forgetting to do so altogether. he' typically too lazy to pay any real attention to his physical appearance, completely content to let his hair grow long or forget to shave. while he has a somewhat intimidating face, it belies his true nature as a lazy, care-free slacker.
