The two characteristics of a star that make it most likely to become a black hole are:

1. **It is dying.**
2. **Its mass is greater than 20 times the mass of the sun.**

These characteristics indicate that the star is in a later stage of its lifecycle and has sufficient mass to undergo gravitational collapse after its nuclear fuel is exhausted.
