Made the equipment list explicit and added a few details.

Name: Pernille L. Christensen
Nicknames: Little Miss Matchstick, Death, The Grimm Reaper
Gender: Female
Appearance: She wears no hats or hoods, but lets her fair blonde hair lay braided across her tiny shoulders. Her clothes are plain, but clean, a simple grey dress and underclothes all serving their good honest purpose in modesty. Simple and plain is what she wears, and that is but enough for the task set before her.
Powers/Abilities:
Lit Match: When she lights a match the world around a specific person(s) will warp to be an illusion that speaks to their soul. Be it something they wish they had, a reminder of their deepest sins, or simply something to push them to be better. These illusions have the power to evoke intense emotional responses in its targets, and surrounding these illusions is a burning white fire that gives off no heat nor does it scorch the surroundings.
Dimming Light: When someone is at death’s door she can walk to them, slowly slipping through locked doors, armed troops, and other such things. She’ll just appear at their side as a source of comfort or one of advice, and very rarely one of judgement.
Shadow’s Step: When she wishes to step into places where she shouldn’t be, as any good herald of death should, she can become intangible and walk through places to get where she wants.
Personality/Motivations:
She is a very charitable soul who doesn’t seek malicious actions and instead quietly moves about without drawing attention to herself. In fact, she is quite meek but also very pointed when she speaks and often very accusatory when she finds need of it.
Otherwise she works to be comforting and helpful to those she finds, but never drawing too much attention as she goes about the task set before her.
She does not enjoy the ocean or the heavy winters and often times will work to avoid being in either of those locations, but if pressed she will do her duty all the same.
Perceived History:
As far as she remembers, she died during the dead of winter, visions and the dim flame of her matches as she froze to death. After which, in a sort of trance like state, she was approached by an old man who provided her with a choice. Go to heaven, or take a temporary position as the next Reaper and show up to the lonely souls who would otherwise, die very alone.
After a bit of debate, she took him up on his offer and took his position, and so she has done his job. However, long it has been doesn’t seem to matter to her. Although, this is all what she thinks, whether or not she’s actually a true Grimm Reaper or not she doesn’t know. Could be she’s just some book character brought to life, or a fun little character created by some other third party, either way she cares not, and simply plans to go about her job as she thinks she always has. The very idea of not being who she presumes herself to be is a source of constant amusement and fascination, one which she often brings up around people from time to time.
Object: A box of old stylized matches that doesn’t seem to ever really run empty.

A reminder that THE RP SIGNUPS CLOSE TOMORROW!! Make sure to finish your edits to your pending signups before then!
And since this is a double post, I may as well make it a relevant update by introducing one of the major NPC pairings, also known as my crappy attempt at a couple characters in the setting 
These two will serve a secondary purpose of being an easy pair to find a way to split up in case someone leaves the rp for whatever reason. Hopefully that won’t ever happen, but regardless here they are:
HUMAN
Name: Derek McNelson
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Appearance: Derek can be seen wearing a green flannel jacket atop a white tee almost without fail, blue denim jeans and faded white sneakers. His attempts to keep his hair combed to the side almost always fail, but the solution of maybe having a haircut so his bangs don’t repeatedly end up in front of his eyes is out of the question.
Tools/Weapons: Derek has a pocketknife and a wallet with a student driver’s license.
Personality/Bio/Motivations: Derek is incredibly awkward most of the time, lacking any charisma whatsoever and usually buckling to whoever pressures him the right way. Ambition has no place in him and his attention span is too short to be of much use to anyone.
When Derek was 15, he was pressured by his friends into trying to make contact with Communicating Harmoniously Across Our Souls, only to bumble into another event hosted by them and catch sight of something he wasn’t meant to see. Ever since then, he’s been itching for the chance to catch another glimpse, and their latest meeting has offered him the perfect opportunity to do so.
REVENANT
Name: Monte
Gender: Male
Appearance: Monte is a large, white ball, with a singular realistic eye in the center. He is surrounded by six white, feathered wings of varying sizes, all of which hover about his spherical form. These can be rotated in any direction around his form and even float away from him for a substantial distance. He also wears (and by wears I mean it’s kinda set on top it doesn’t actually fit) a trucker hat that says “I love my wife”, which he reportedly stole from Derek’s dad.
Powers/Abilities: Monte is capable of regrowing his feathers/wings when necessary, but can never have more than six. His Revenant power is a little more specific, however: Monte is capable of seeing the future in varying degrees, but this information doesn’t always tell him what to do about it. His glimpses into the future are taken from just before he viewed them, meaning the very act of viewing those future events may end up changing the course of said events so they never play out.
Personality/Motivations: Monte is rude, snide, self-important, and will be as cutting as is necessary to get his way. Generally sympathetic to those around him, he usually becomes apologetic if something he says appears to actually hurt someone, but hardly ever changes his ways because of it. He is a strategic genius, which may or may not be due solely to his ability to predict events.
Oh, and he’s very touchy on the topic of supposedly being an angel. Further insistence that he is one may result in physical retaliation of varying degrees.
Object: A small square of paper. Can write messages on himself if subtle communication is needed.

So sometimes Emm is referred to as
and other times as
and then as
This is gonna get real convoluted in terms of the rp real fast, because referring to characters has to be clear exactly who you’re talking about or things will get muddled, so I suggest you pick one.
Cody and Emm will not be paired together, so this part will need to be retooled.

got it, I misinterpreted or missed something then
fair. really that was all just me not being able to come to a decision on that, I was picturing differently a few times. I still dont have a big attachment one way or another, so Ill leave it to whoever interacts with the character first

To be fair, it was more implied than directly stated in prior versions of the topic.
Which is why in my initial submission I had the company man and anti-corporation girl since, even though they wouldn’t be paired together, they could still play off each other. A safety net of sorts, something I could rely on using to force character interactions. After all, if Vyvian and Sumbolon got into an argument, they’re at least guaranteed to bring in another Revenant and human into the debate.

GOLDEN RETRIEVER
Name: Kipper, though most of the town knows him as Kip, or the late Old Man O’Marrec’s poor pup.
Gender: Male
Age: 3 years old
Appearance: A slightly lankier than average golden retriever, with light gold fur, sporting some nasty bee stings over his left eye.
Tools/Weapons: Teeth, paws, and unadulterated loyalty. Currently in the market for a human. He knows where a few good bones are buried around town.
Personality/Bio/Motivations: Mr. O’Marrec said Kip was a good boy. Mr. O’Marrec has been saying that since Kip was a pup. Mr. O’Marrec doesn’t leave his house anymore. Kip hopes it’s not his fault. Kip hopes he’s still a good boy. Kip misses people. Kip will find a new human. Maybe they will say Kip is a good boy? Or maybe Kip really isn’t anymore…
REVENANT
Name: Ozymandia
Gender: Female
Appearance: Ozymandia is statuesque in every sense of the word. Literally. She appears as if she is made out of a slightly polished black marble, well muscled, and with thin strata of gold and white running throughout. It appears as if she was carved with a long piece of cloth rapping around her right her arm, over her torso, and down her left leg, and her hair is pulled back into a low, messy bun. Her movements seem stiff, with her body lying completely still unless she is deliberately in motion. Her voice emanates from her head area as opposed to her actually opening her mouth to speak, though her expression can change (but few things manage to wipe her signature look of subdued, disapproving arrogance off her face).
Powers/Abilities: The only memo Ozymandia received about her power is that ‘the more they think of you, the greater you become.’ Ozymandia thinks this means the more the entire world esteems her, the greater her speed, strength, and durability will be. This is only half correct; while she will get stronger, the ‘they’ in question is not the entire world, instead it only refers to her relationship with the single mortal she is bonded with. The greater respect and stronger the relationship between her and her mortal, the harder she’ll hit, the faster she’ll hit, and the more hits she can take. Conversely, should their relationship deteriorate, Ozymandia will start to visibly crack, and should things get bad enough, crumble. She is convinced she needs the approval of the world: lets hope she can win the approval of the only person who matters.
Personality/Motivations: Ozymandia posses a cool arrogance. She would never attempt to demean anyone, simply because the notion that anyone else is close to her level is completely foreign to her. Behind her stern stone exterior though, rests a temper not easily cowed when ignited. Ozymandia believes in greatness. That those who wish to be great must seize it by any means. And those who wish not to be forgotten, must prove themselves great. Ozymandia is ambitious, but not naturally duplicitous, unless she deems it necessary. Somewhere beneath the cold exterior, there is perhaps a sense of honor and nobility. She has no recollection of her past, meaning others likely have no recollection of her past. This will be changed. All must know her name.
Object: A simple black queen from chess.
so, uh, it’s past midnight, can I still join
