* I imagine him as a little gnome with a sharp stick, hopping up and down and sawing at the soul-rope wrapped around the out-of-reach bindstone until he gets a piece, then running away gleefully and taking it to the Soul Mother... I know, not exactly accurate, but it keeps me amused.
There are three Fates in Greek mythology...
The grave stone is an OOC marker, so I don't comment IC if I see one. The place of my death is personal to me, and I return there to pray (recover) to put the trauma behind me.
If I choose not to recover, I walk about with the aura, but again, that is an OOC indicator, so I try not to comment on it if I see it on someone else.
