HISTORY
Nex first arrived in America with the arrival of the first Christian Pilgrims in the early 1600’s. As one of four siblings, he is the personification of the Angel of Death that will ride down at the battle of Armageddon. Unfortunately that means his main purpose is to sit around and wait for the end of the world. He is fully aware of death, and his power is directly connected to it. The majority of his belief comes in the ‘End of All Things’, rather than individual death, but with the state of the world as it is, he has more than enough belief to get by. Most of his power lies in the faith of Evangelical Christians or Heavy Metal Rockers. Not being a big fan of either, he lives out his eternity under the radar. His feathers are sometimes ruffled by certain events that suggest an Apocalypse (The Cold War saw him at the height of his powers since his arrival in the States) but mainly he is happy just muddling along. Throughout his life in America, he has had several occupations – He fought in the Civil War on the side of the Confederates, joined the priesthood during the Depression (where he wrote several papers on the notion of Suicide that sent the Vatican into a rage) and in the early nineties was an assistant to Dr Jack Kevorkian in Michigan. He has been a bereavement counsellor on and off for the past 50 years.
BRIEF BIO
Nex is one of the lucky ones. Like all the other Gods, he has a profound and complete knowledge of the universe and what awaits. Unlike the others, he lives with the secure knowledge that as long as humans exist, he will have a never ending source of power. Faith in death and the end is… well… endless. He has found his niche in the world counselling those who have been directly confronted by death. A never ending source of both belief and amusement, he can both initiate acceptance or mind boggling fear in his patients. He does reserve the latter for those he really can’t stand, but has been known to deliberately provoke the notion of suicide once in a while. He lives in a neat two bedroom apartment on the upper west side in Manhattan. His private practice is extremely well known and his business is constant and allows him to live out his eternity in comfort. His favourite pastimes include eating hotdogs in Central Park, collecting out of print books on philosophy, and getting wasted on his balcony and watching the city.
