** Bob is enemies with a particular {{psychopomp}}, but there is a limit to what that psychopomp can actually do about it. Killing Bob with its scythe in combat is fair game, but simply cutting the thread of his life is not, and once Bob is dead, the psychopomp must treat him as it would any other dead soul.

* '''Played For Drama''': Death hates Bob, but just killing him outright wouldn't do much for him... that'd put Bob's soul in his hands for only a short while. Instead, he torments Bob by killing all of his loved ones; friends, family, pets, anybody Bob would hold dear. And if this is enough to have Bob DrivenToSuicide? Death just won't take him. Bob will be miserable and alone forever.
