Application for *Elysian-Academy

-------------------------------------
Name: Kellen
Age: 17 (as he chooses)
Gender: Male
From: Purgatory
Dorm: Revalation
Species: Psychopomp Reaper
Height: 6' (183cm)
Powers: Levitation: Very limited, usually just to give him the appearance of gliding, but can maintain heights about 6 feet high.
Phasing: Allows travel through solid objects with concentration.
Tearing: Opening up of a tear in the Ether, which grants access to a sub-dimension.
Strength: Not abnormally strong, but can lift about twice his own weight, roughly 300 lbs.

History/Description: The title of The Grim Reaper is one that many wraiths hope to attain, and one that Kellen is next in line for. Even with such an honor awaiting him, he was just another one of the numerous psychopomps that guided souls awaiting direct attention by the Grim Reaper in Purgatory, they having been cleansed of sin and ready to pass on. Bored of his everyday existence, he put in a request to be allowed a time of leave to see the real world. To his surprise, he was granted the request very quickly (perhaps too quick...) and was allowed to navigate the mortal realm, but only if he were to not interfere with everyday life. Not wanting to just sit on the sidelines, but actually do something hands-on, Kellen began his search for a place to learn and interact without causing any trouble...

Kellen is basically a fledgling Reaper. He has knowledge of his powers, but they're just very limited. Most of his abilities do not fully bloom until the title of Grim Reaper is gained: He can't kill by touch, fly, harvest souls, or take full skeletal form. He hasn't even earned his scythe yet. In fact, despite being next in line to be Death, Kellen is extremely friendly and curious, even to the point of being nosy and invasive. There are many feelings he is not familiar with yet, either, but has a whole century to discover them, since that's how long he has until he gains his place as Death.

Edit: Thanks to some suggestions by :iconcovenantfighter: and :iconsespider:, I went back and changed a few things. Mostly in facial features, and loosening up the coat a bit. Thanks, guys!

Thanks, dude! You know, you're a lot more in tune with your metal side. Anything you can suggest to make him a bit more 'skeletal'? Or maybe just something I could fix currently?

oook well i would bring the eyebrows down to give a slightly more menacing profile and maybe add a big wide toothy smile with the eye glow slightly bigger maybe even going over the edge of the eye (only on the bottom) and darken the whole surrounding area of the eye

as for the body you can either make him more skeletal or overall more imposing with wider shoulders... if you go for skeletal then i would recommend making the hands bigger especially longer fingers but make them really skinny so that the joints really bulge out

also for a general look try to make a bigger contrast between light and shadows

youre welcome... for more ideas look at movies like Hellboy, Blade (especially the TV series) and The Crow... in fact ESPECIALLY The Crow... its possibly the greatest gothic story ever told and probably more befitting of a reaper character

The coat seems too tight to me.
I would also try reversing the colors. (White >> gray and Gray >> white).

Just a few suggestions.
Looks cool though.

It does seem rather tight, I'll see what I can do about that.
Although, the colors are the uniform for the school I'm applying him in, so nothing I can do about those.

Thanks for info, though!
