I'm really enjoying my Death character now. He used to be kind of a cliche: a charming, handsome dude who cared about people. Now, he's a mean, impatient computer programmer type who loves Oreo cookies (and doesn't share), cuts his own hair, and has no idea what's happening outside the afterlife.
This is how I described him to my writing group:
"He's like a computer nerd who lives in his mom's basement. When he knows more about something than you do, he makes sure you feel stupid by the time he's done explaining it. He has about a dozen cats, and he keeps sending them out for pizza, and they keep not coming back, but he refuses to step foot outside the basement to get his own pizza, so now he's especially upset because his only friends are cats and they keep ditching him and don't bring him pizza."
