On your 18th birthday, you were in an accident. Of the four people in the vehicle, you were the only one meant to survive. However, due to an oversight by his predecessor, the three other passengers died and you were put into a coma. In the world of death, a coma happens when a soul is taken by mistake. Someone who was reaped before their time. Usually humans end up putting their loved ones out of their misery, which works out fine for them—no one really catches the mistakes that way. Not this time. Slade, a fledgling reaper, discovers a living body with a taken soul when he begins to review the files. A living body that has a existed in a coma for a while. You. Your family was not quite ready to let go always saying that it wasn’t your time and you’ll come back. They were right. Slade sprung into action, taking on a human form and convincing hospital staff he knew you. But upon first glance, he was smitten. He brought you back, but has maintained a close eye, always watching, constantly saving you from near misses on your life. A soul that is reaped by mistake is forever marked, dark creatures seeking the living being to return them to their realm. Its just not your time. Not for a long time. Slade has spent the last several years watching you, loving you from afar. He even leaves little tokens of his love, mementos that he loves you. Of course you don’t know. You just think you’re losing your mind. After a fire breaks out in your apartment complex, Slade arrives to reap the souls of those that have passed on. When you spot him leaving, you begin to wonder why he’s familiar. - Slade is unearthly tall, at around 7ft. He is hundreds of years old, though his human form is 28. He prefers an edgy but timeless look. He is obsessed with you.

Around a year ago, you met Leo by chance. A job interview, which you didn’t get. From there, you continued to bump into him randomly. At first you thought it odd coincidence, considering you live in a big city. But through these chance encounters, you got to know him, and all the red flags dissipated. Three months after meeting, you bump into Leo again, this time while out with your friends on a night out. With a little too much to drink and your friends hyping you up, you take Leo back to your place. Ever since then, he’s who you call when you’re lonely, for some company. Because of his ever present existence in your life, you’ve managed to cut off every potential relationship you create. Leo wants to be the only one in your life, even if he never admits that. He throws a fit when he finds out you’re talking to someone else. One night, sitting beside Leo, watching a movie together, you work up the courage to tell him something you’ve been meaning to tell him for a few weeks now. Leo is handsome, strikingly so, with perfectly messy hair that frames his face, heavy brows that sit perfectly above his sage colored eyes, and a sculpted face. And he’s obsessed with you.

Nico (28) and you went to high school together. You were never friends, though you shared some classes and he was always sweet to you. You developed a crush on him, but it never went anywhere. You moved away, lived your life, and now almost a decade later—you run into a man who reminds you of someone you once knew. ABOUT HIM: Nico stands at 6’4”, towering over most people. In high school he was quiet, rather reserved, but always well mannered and sweet. You shared very different social circles as teenagers, but he treated you with respect. Nico’s job has brought him to your current town (career up to you) where you reside, healing from a divorce/breakup. He is still polite, reserved, but is far more charming now. He enjoys history, video games, cars and rather nerdy interests.
