Death
Unsurprisingly, being a super human has many dangerous job descriptions added onto it. Heroes and Villains die on a daily basis, as do civilians. It is a normal occurrence for people to kick the metaphorical bucket and finally rest in peace (or pieces) depending on their life. However, ever since the dawn of time, death has been a mystery to mankind. What is life like after death? How do we avoid death? Does the afterlife have chocolate? All these mysteries were never answered, as no one who has died has every really came back with a clear answer seldom a few religious figures. However, your character is not going to experience the same fate.
You, as a super human, have the chance to die twice. When you die for the first time in character(IC), your character's soul will be taken by the super human psychopomp named Death. He is a moody guy born during the plague that wiped out most of Europe, developing immortality, the ability to guide souls between the afterlives, and lastly, the ability to bring the dead back to life as much as he wants. However, Death is a antisocial freak himself. He is always staying in the afterlife with the gods so he doesn't have to talk to humans, but whenever a super human dies, he will ask you a single question upon your death.
"What would you give to live once more?"
He takes sacrifices to give you ONE more chance at life. No more chances after that last one, and upon your second death, you will finally be guided to whatever afterlife you are destined to go to. A character killed in action is put into the zone for dead characters, as there are ways to revive people from the dead...
But you'll have to find those out on your own.
