Blackblood (he's getting a new name soon) is the grim reaper of my clan. He guides the dead into their chosen afterlife or into reincarnation, chases down lost souls and ghosts, and is not very fond of necromancers. However, his outfit is....lacking, and he isn't as spooky and intimidating as he should be.
So, I have one slot left for another apparel piece - what should I give him, what should I take away, or should I just leave him as he is???

I'd say try adding a reaper guise if you're going for a more 'classic reaper' look?
Play around with that a little, maybe?
I do like what you have though. It's a very unique look!
I enjoy the way the tatters work with his coloration.

I think a red riding hood in place of the whisperer's cowl and a ravenskull broadsword in the last apparel slot would make him look much fiercer.

I am actually fond of the green hood, personally, but the black one would also fit the part. Probably. Red miiight work, but I feel like that could be overpowering.
Perhaps Skeletal Chimes would do the trick? It'd sure tie in nicely with the skulls on the Tatters, plus it would add some much needed busyness to the wings imho.
Should you acquire another apparel slot at any point, you might wanna look into Black Linen on the tail too. Honestly though, if it were my dragon, I would swap the Black Linen pieces for Bloody Bandages like you've got on his chest.
Here's hoping you can figure out something you're happy with!

@TwistedRae The reaper guise or the harvest guise may look really good on him. Here's what I did for my Reaper Girl! I think the birdskulls add a good amount of 'death' to the outfit to make her look more Spooky imo.

You could also try one of the Mantles to add a bit of flair at the bottom of his neck, and one of the Coliseum Capes would tie that together nicely!
ex:
[item=mysterious cowl] [item=mysterious mantle] [item=midnight cape]
(though I think the mantle here is a slightly different color <.< )

This is my Shadow rep, and she performs burial rites and helps lost souls find rest. I took most of her apparel off my former necromancer, but she looks rather spooky/deathy imo! I'd say bleak birdskulls and cobwebs would help him look spookier!

Here's my "Grim." He's of the cliche traditional kind though. ^_^; I love your more "ghost" approach! Is [i]way[/i] more original! But like others have said, I think think the hoods, and spiderwebs is definitely the way to go!

@Noctiferous
Revisiting the thought process: I would actually second your sentiments- I think I might've forgotten the point of this brainstorming session is the effective representation of a "grim reaper". My bad!
@TwistedRae
Cliché as it may or may not be, the Reaper's Guise would be fantastically well suited for the task. You may also benefit from looking into the Conjurer's Cloak/Cobwebs + Mysterious Cowl combo, if you wanna head that direction. My girl, Andy, models the Cloak & Cowl pretty well, I think:

Anyway, black is definitely the way to go for more spook, probably with the addition of a Birdskull set as suggested by Noctiferous.
If you decide to explore a less conventional approach, however, (forego spooky in favor of macabre) I would stand by what I said earlier. Here's my representative from the land of Creep and Skincrawl to give you an idea of what I mean:

Less ethereal, more grisly. Hopefully. Ehehe.

@TwistedRae
There are some good ideas above, but I guess it boils down to what -sort- of psychopomp figure you're trying to aim for.
Classic reapers, you'd be looking for hood/mantle, or maybe one of the guises, and a lot of the Plague festival apparel would work well.
There's the various little cloth wrap items, of course, and the cobwebs. You might even consider some of the moonscale armor if you're wanting some things that look a little bony/spiky for his tail and wings?
Here's the dragons I could find in my lair that might help a bit with ideas for robes and semi-shamanistic things.

Various accents could, of course, help. Though ideally, I suppose, you could get a few items to improve his ensemble and get a couple more apparel slots. How much do those even cost that early on? I've unlocked so many I can't remember what the first ones cost any more. XD;

@Haisyn
They cost around 75 gems (I believe).
@TwistedRae
Like a lot of others have said, the Reaper Guise may do the trick, or perhaps even the Spectre Guise if you want a more ghostly look.
