RIFTS Earth WIP: Horseman of Death (Dimensional Demonic Alien)
By: Raven Tepes Date: December 2, 2025, 8:57 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
“To be Death is to walk in quiet certainty. I do not chase; all
things come to me in time. Heroes roar, villains scheme, gods
thunder their names across the ley lines… and still their echoes
fade beneath my steps. I am the hush that follows every
heartbeat, the shadow behind every triumph. I do not hate, I do
not hunger—I simply wait. And in the end, everything living
remembers me.”
~ Death
“Fighting Death isn’t bravery… it’s ignorance dressed up in
armor. You don’t battle him—you survive his passing, if fate
feels generous. I swung, I shouted, I poured every drop of will
into the fight, and he never even noticed. He just kept walking,
like I was nothing more than a leaf caught in a storm. Remember
this: you don’t defeat Death. You endure him, pray he’s already
found another target, and thank whatever gods are listening when
you’re still breathing afterward.”
~ A surviving hero
“When Death touched me, it wasn’t pain that claimed my breath—it
was understanding. A cold certainty slid through my bones,
gentle as falling ash. My heart didn’t break; it simply stopped
being needed. The world dimmed, sounds stretched thin, and then
everything I was unraveled like smoke in a silent room. Now I
drift, half-memory, half-mist… and I finally see the truth:
Death does not kill with malice or mercy. He simply opens the
door, and the living step through.”
~ The specter of a victim of Death
Name: Death
Age: Unknown
Species: Demonic Alien
Gender: Genderless
Height: 12"
Weight: 265 lbs
Organization: Horsemen of the Apocalypse
~ Rank: Leader
Region Ruling: Southern Africa
Abilities:
Alien Physiology: The power to use the traits and abilities of
an extraterrestrial. User with this ability either is or can
transform into an extraterrestrial/alien: life forms that are of
extraterrestrial origin or originate from beyond Earth. Given
the near-infinite variety of possible extraterrestrials, even
only using the ones in fiction, a user can conceivably use
nearly any power.
Demon Physiology: The power to have the traits and abilities of
demons. Users possess the traits, attributes, characteristics
and/or abilities of demon, a malevolent spirit usually of Dark
and Infernal Divinity or associated with Hell. They achieve this
either through full or partial transformation into demons,
choosing to mimic certain aspects of demonic beings, or simply
already being a demon in the first place. Most commonly user
retains their general form but with some additions; horns,
claws, fangs, and tail are common, as are wings, more fit
(muscular and/or larger) body and color change (red, blue or
black dominate) but there are several kinds of demons who are
far less humanoid, varying from strange, surreal or even
absolutely horrific.
Immortality: The power to have eternal life and the inability to
die through conventional means. The user has the power/ability
to exist eternally without succumbing to age, disease, or fatal
injury, rendering the user functionally undying and unaging. It
encompasses a complete exemption from natural decay and
biological needs, and in advanced forms, may involve
regeneration, resurrection, body-hopping, or transcendence
beyond the concept of death itself.
Supernatural Durability: The power to possess durability
drastically beyond what is naturally possible. Users are
incredibly resistant to damage, allowing them to withstand
potent attacks like sizeable explosions and nuclear bombs, heavy
arms fire, extreme atmospheric/water pressure, temperatures
fatal to an average Human, cold bordering on absolute zero, or
heat that rivals the sun's surface. Due to its extremely high
durability, users' bodies also naturally manifest improved
levels of stamina and extreme resistance to the physical pain of
any kind.
Supernatural Regeneration: The power to rapidly heal at a level
drastically beyond what is naturally possible. Users possess a
supernatural level of regeneration; allowing them to recover
from virtually any injury that doesn't result in instant death,
such as disintegration, incineration, or one-hit kill attacks.
As long as their "core" remains undamaged, regeneration is
possible. This exceptional regenerative power operates at the
cellular level, continuously rejuvenating cells and telomere
lengths, granting the user freedom from the aging process.
Additionally, the need for sustenance is drastically reduced,
pushing the user close to a state of true immortality. Even
intricate body parts like damaged brain cells and nerves can be
meticulously repaired, preserving the user's mental faculties.
This level of regeneration can extend to drugs, diseases, and
harmful foreign substances, ensuring they remain in peak
physical condition and optimal health indefinitely. Their
immunity, or at the very least, their high resistance to
telepathic attacks, arises from the regenerative power's ability
to restore brain cells to their unaltered state, effectively
shielding the user's mind from intrusion or invasive attempts.
Multiple Limbs: The user has multiple limbs that are fully
functional. The user has more than two functioning limbs, which
allows them to manipulate several objects simultaneously, engage
in combat with remarkable efficiency, and perform various tasks
with exceptional dexterity. Typically, users exhibit an
additional set of four, six, or even eight limbs, bringing the
total count to an extraordinary number. In addition to their
multiple limbs, the user also possesses incredible strength and
displays heroic ambidexterity, making them a formidable force in
various situations.
Limb Attachment: The user can take random limbs and attach them
to his/her body. These limbs become fully functional and take on
the supernatural quality of the user. These limbs do grant extra
attacks and the user can add as many as the body can sustain.
Death can add an extra 12 limbs to his body and grant himself up
to 14 attacks.
Zombie Creation: The user has the power to create zombies to
fight for the user. The user has full command over the zombies.
Death can create up to 400 zombies to fight for him.
Necromancy: The power to utilize magic involving the dead,
death-force and/or souls. The users either have magical
abilities or have powers that revolve around manipulating the
dead, death, the death-force and/or souls for good (i.e.,
resurrecting the dead), evil (in various ways), or neither. They
can also communicate with the deceased – either by summoning
their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the
purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future
events or discover hidden knowledge. This is most frequently
depicted as being able to resurrect the dead to varying to
degrees, from shambling corpses to conscious zombies to even
complete Resurrection. More powerful users and directly convert
the living into the undead, allowing them to bypass conventional
durability by turning an opponent into a mindless zombie at the
user's control.
Many practitioners find a way to cheat death one way or another,
whether by becoming some form of undead creature or by bypassing
their own ability to die.
Magic Energy Manipulation: The power to manipulate magical
energy. User can create, shape, absorb or manipulate magical
energy; a form of mystical energy that fundamentally fuels
and/or manifests all magical phenomena such as spells,
practices, rituals, circles and enchanted objects. through this
mystic energy users can transmute magic for a variety of effects
and purposes, including obtaining magical powers from external
and internal source, yielding upstanding results in the users
magical practices. Users can even invoke other forms of energies
for specific forms of magic that require said necessary energies
to empower their spells.
Psionics: All sensitive and healing psionic powers and seven as
per a Mind Bleeder.
Weaknesses: If an opponent is determined enough and powerful
enough, then a well placed hit can kill Death.
