Reapers

The reapers are the agents of Vosaris the god of the dead and vanguard of his forces. They're silent and cold beings, embodiments shadow and darkness. You can always spot one; a faint, shadowy figure drifting and lurking above a field of corpses looking for the next soul to take to their king in their cold realm of silence.



Reapers are often invisible to humans and the living, they can only be seen at the brink of death or those with the power to see magic such as Varkhalki or Siriti.

When they are visible reapers are described as shadowy, humanoid looking figures with skeletal wings of smoke and and luminous blue eyes. In their hands is always either a scythe, a sickle or a pair of huge sharp hooks.



Reapers often wonder the world alone looking for souls to take to Vosaris, but if necessary they travel in groups in situations and places where death count is high while accompanied by a Death Maiden.



Speaking of the Death Maidens; they are the consorts of Vosaris, their strength and power almost equal to him. They travel individually and they only touch the physical world if there is a death count too high for the average reaper. Death Maidens can reap about a thousand souls at once and keeps them in an orb shaped crucible to take away to their Lord.

Death Maidens are also taller, stronger and wider than the average reaper; they are believed to have three pairs of wings and a voice as smooth and haunting as the winter gale, rumours has it that their voices are so beautiful, even the living can't resist their serenades that when transfixed, their souls are believed to float away from their bodies and towards the blade of their scythe.



Reapers are similar to souls, but unlike them they have more power over death and their own fates. Because reapers are like souls they have the ability to possess a living being and use them as a vessel.

Reapers only take vessels under two conditions; one is if there is good reason and possessing them is beneficial to both the reaper and their vessels purpose e.g if it will fulfil Vosaris's desires or duty of reapers; second is if the reaper is critically weak from whatever reason and so they will take a vessel to sustain their health and power at least till they have absorbed enough health to carry on.
