Maybe an old wise man who has seen many transitions between life and death in the twilight realm. He could be a guide for other characters, sharing his knowledge and wisdom about the strange rules that govern this world. His character could bring depth to the story as he has a long - standing relationship with the concepts of life and death in this unique setting.
A reaper - like figure could be one of the main characters. They are usually associated with death and in this reimagined story, they might have a more complex role in the twilight world, perhaps being conflicted about their duty.
Well, it could be about a new take on the battle between life and death in a twilight - like setting. Maybe the characters have different powers related to life and death, and they struggle for control in a world that's in a state of twilight, neither fully day nor night.
Edward is often still a very popular character in reimagined fanfiction. Writers might give him new backstories or tweak his personality slightly. For instance, he could be more rebellious against the vampire coven rules.
Bella could also be a main character. She could be a target of the poison or be involved in the investigation. Her connection to the supernatural world in Twilight makes her a likely candidate.
It's hard to say without reading it. However, considering the nature of Twilight, it might include characters like Jacob. If the fanfiction is about a life - threatening situation in the werewolf territory or a conflict between vampires and werewolves, Jacob would be a key character. Also, the Volturi members could be main characters if the 'rendezvous with death' is related to their power and the threat they pose to other characters.
Well, it could be a hero - type character who is constantly battling against the odds of death, and perhaps an antagonist who represents the forces that bring death or endanger the life of others. There might also be supporting characters like friends or family of the main character who are involved in the life - or - death scenarios in some way.
Since it's a Twilight fanfiction, it probably still features the main characters from the original series like Bella, Edward, and Jacob. But it might also introduce new characters related to this 'lottery of life' concept.
It could be new characters created specifically for the fanfiction. Maybe a young vampire who is just turned and is trying to figure out their place in the Twilight world. Another might be a human who has a special connection to the supernatural events happening around them.
Carlisle, as the patriarch of the Cullen family, might be a main character. His long - lived experience and moral code could be put to the test in a story about death. He could be the one guiding other characters through the difficult times after a death, or dealing with the implications of a death that challenges his beliefs.
Obviously, Bella and Edward would be great main characters for a reunion fanfic. Their relationship was central to the original series, and a reunion could show how their love has evolved over time. They could be dealing with new challenges as a couple, like raising their daughter Renesmee in a world that still has some threats.
I'm not sure as I haven't read the specific 'beyond life and death novel'. But typically in such a novel, there might be a character who has a near - death experience and becomes a sort of guide to the 'beyond'.
