The effects of isolation vary greatly from person to person, but all of them lead to a different form and degree of insanity.

Chernobog...bashing in people's skulls...American Gods memories.

Chern did not remind me of Chernobyl at all.

Hmm Ok. Since you all dislike the name can you think of some other name that has least possible amount of vowels and letters (l,v,j, l,n,m) and that can be assosiated with a Death/Necromancer God? Cause I'm stumped.

Vol Janmol? You didn't pay much to what I wrote... And the name sounds like an elven vampire (which I'm not looking for).

Death God I have is pretty much just Death. No passion, no feelings (maybe some sarconic laughter and irony but that is all), no morality, no blood drawing. Like cold chocking hand of death. Grenth is example of names I'm looking for.

Garius?! That is a out of the book human name.
Nsar... Hmm this has potential. I hear Nseth or Xar.

Round 2: Which name are you more likely to assosiate with death Nseth, Xar or neither? If you have some cool suggestions feel free to post them.

Sometimes a name can be too controlling...limited...Sometimes a broad gesture is needed.

The Formless One
He that is Faceless
The Lady of the Dark

Or right to the point

Lord Death

If a name is what you wish then...

Viash
Molok
Zissarack
Undoul
Shulfah
Cruor Vult

Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion,
simultaneously the source of our greatest strength, and our greatest weakness.

Lord Death sounds kind of...plain and a bit corny, but everything else sounds awesome.

If Lady Death was anything other than Lady Death in the Infinity Gauntlet/Wars She wouldn't have been as awesome to me.
