Death shouldn't have a weapon. War should be all about the weapons, but beath is DEATH! he doesn't need a weapon. He just kills you. The scythe or sickle makes sense for the harvesting part.

Quote from: V - L0XAccording to Deadlands game canon, nobody knows what the big "D" looks like because just seeing him is enough to kill you. Everybody pretty much just goes offa old Blue Oyster Cult albums and Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life". It's not like getting close enough to peep the guy would be easy; there's gotta be an army of zombies and undead horrors follwing the guy around.
Much though it seems right, i wouldn't expect death to be surrounded by undead. If he's death, shouldn't he be pissed off by these souls not being in the afterlife where he sent them? I would expect his to give a final death to any undead that he comes across.

Who cares where they are? This life, afterlife, as long as they're dead. Again, this isn't the IRS of souls here, this guy just wants death and lots of it.

Or gravity powers! It seems like a bit of a stretch for Death, but having it bear a resemblance to a small singularity would be crazy.

Hmm... gravity powers... where the hell did that come from? Gravity powers are pretty cool but... hey, doesn't a supernova create a black hole or somesuch? Singularity as in the "death of a star"? It's obscure, but that's generally allright. My players will consternate and puzzle for weeks as to why the black hole monster was a "death" servitor, but who cares?

Could also work like that one angel from Eva... the one where the orb was its shadow and the thing itself was some kind of inverted AT field or spacial anomaly (The ground underfoot turned black and you sank into it) But yeah... The black hole of death is (at least) scary and alien.

It'll actually work great in Deadlands: Lost Colony; the game of Sci-Fi Spacefaring alien horror. There really isn't anything more scary than the unknown, and there's nothing we know less about than a completely alien solar system; not to mention the infinite darkness of space. Exploring desolate old space hulks used to scare the crap out of me.
