A character that was simular to this that I had is a hyena named Vens
Female.
Vens is a more comedic character, with the same concept as Dilory but in a more humorous story.
Intead of it being more of a role, Vens role as guard of heaven's gate is a job that she gets paid for, and its a minimum wage job.
Youd think being the guard of heaven would get good pay, but youd think wrong.
She is like an apprentice, a guardian to be. Guardians hang out in Skys rim and do whatever, but the apprentices do all the work for little pay.
Its gotten so bad that appentices sometimes buy food from ghosts for a lower price then the normal food they have to pay for.
Its just a bad system.
Whoever has an unfair death gets to be an apprentice of a Guardian.
How did Vens die?
She stepped on a leggo.
The gods demed the death too unfair for this eart, and she is the apprentice with little pay you see today.
