Sign Up Don't Fear The Reaper [M - LVS]

[Talon]

[color=darkslategray][center][b][u][i][font=Trebuchet MS]You might be a king, your debt might be steeper.
It matters not, we all meet with the Reaper.
Waiting at the end of life's last whispered breath,
There's no need to fear the fallen Angel of Death...[/font][/u][/b][/center]

It happens. There's no escape from it. Ever present, rushing at us in a never ending dance. Medicines, pills, potions, they slow its approach, but nothing can stop it. We all meet it, sooner or later...

There are those, however, who meet Death too soon in their lives, or before they've brought any meaning to what should have been full and loving lives. And those who suffer from an evilly gruesome fate. A shattered spine, a broken heart, a fatal accident...it is these that Death takes under its wing, providing their afterlives with a meaning their previous life lacked. They become Reapers, soul collectors with different powers that allow them to perform their jobs. They appear, to ordinary humans, as shadows that linger a shade too long, or a flicker in a darkness that seems to press its weight upon you.

Unless they choose to show you their true form. Indeed, some Reapers choose to live out their afterlives in such a way that would seem perfectly normal to other humans. Whenever there is a death, though, or someone's emotions are raging in a deadly fashion, the Reaper's eyes seem to gleam, and their hands begin to twitch.

Contrary to popular belief, the Reapers are not evil in any way, shape, or form. They merely collect those souls whom avarice, age, and evil claim for the realm of darkness. These souls, when touched by a Reaper, are delivered to the afterlife. If it is a soul similar to theirs, and gifted with Reaper qualities, it is sent to Death itself, where it may choose to accept or deny the burden of becoming a Reaper. A Reaper gains energy whenever it releases a soul to its chosen domain. It is the Reaper's sustenance.

But a rogue angel, a heretic that believes the Almighty's creations deserve to live on forever, has recruited Anti-Reapers, fellow heretic angels whose goals are the preservation and proliferation of human life. They also seek to destroy the Reapers, striking them in their weakest point and releasing Anti-Soul energy into the Reaper.

Death has taken notice of this, and sent her strongest Reaper to combat the rogue angel, Longinus, and to bring the mortality and life counts back into balance. This Reaper, the first Reaper to come under the shadow of Death's shroud, and the few Reapers strong enough to aid him are the last hope for humanity. For without Death, there can be no strife, and without strife, mankind shall taste the fruits of that which has been forbidden since the Fall of Adam and Eve, a coming that would result in the Almighty smiting humanity from the Earth for the last time.

A coming called Eden, the True Apocalypse.[/i]

[b]Reaper Name:[/b] Silversoul

[b]Soul Age:[/b] 25

[b]Appearance:[/b] Werewolf Reaper

[b]Personality:[/b] Matthew is kind and calm. He focuses firmly on his goal and does everything he can to achieve it, never ceasing in his resolve. He has learned from Raziel, the First Reaper, directly, and as such has experience and training on his side as he aids his master in the battle against Longinus.

[b]Reaper's Gift:[/b] Lycanthropy, enhanced strength, martial arts mastery.

[b]Reaper's Former:[/b] Born from his dead mother's womb in a last-minute Cesarean Section, Matthew was handed over to an abusive, greedy father who squandered Matthew's inheritance.

He took to education with a fervor unparalleled by any mortal before him. He became obsessed with the idea of becoming a teacher, and enrolled in courses that emphasized that career field. He would most likely have succeeded in life had his father not discovered that Matthew was working as a library aide in his spare time. Enraged that his son was not giving him the money he felt he rightly deserved, he beat the teenager to death.

Matthew spent nine years under the tutelage and guiding eye of Raziel as a Reaper. He is Raziel's best fighter, and was chosen to be the first to aid the resistance against Longinus. Matthew is also rumored to have personal connections to Death herself.[/color]

[B]Name[/B]: Shaun Hamett
[B]
Reaper Name[/B]: Glacier

[B]Soul Age[/B]: 17

[B]Appearance[/B]: [URL=http://www.game-loader.de/psycko-manga/grafix/gallery/guy1/FUSHIGI_YUUGI_7.jpg]Clickety![/URL]
[B]
Personality[/B]: Shaun isn't the agressive type, and will only take a soul by force if needed too. This doesn't really help him much, and sometimes get ridiculed because he 'talks' to the soul, and tries to persuade it that way.But if anyone did try anything, Shaun would beat the living death out of them. But he has been gifted to run, not fight, or ofcourse talk. And this is his way. Even though most would think he is aggressive because of the music he listens to.
[B]
Reaper's Becoming[/B]: Shaun was in the car with his 3 year durated girlfriend. They were driving along a wooded area. Where they were talking quite normally, then she started going strange and talking about how life is too short for one person. And quite abrutly, she dumped him. Heart broken, and in tears, he crashed straight into the nearest tree. Killing himself, but she got out with a bruised arm.

[B]Reaper's Weapon[/B]: Four-Point Shurikens
[B]
Reaper's Gift[/B]: Aquakinesis. The power to manipulate water into anything the Reaper wants it to be. In the Ethereal Plain, or the Mortal one. Also the power to transport oneself from one place to another in a blink of an eye.
[B]
Reaper's Former[/B]: Shaun lived a decent enough life. He had just finished his driving test when he had died, so they all blamed it on him just passing the test. He went to his college all the times he needed to, and visited his parents on the off weekend. So he lived a normal life really. Having a girlfriend for the past 3 years was a plus. He listened to varied ammount of music. But he always needed music. Be it Iron Maiden, KoRn, or Marilyn Manson. He was happy with any of it. So not much to say about this poor soul. Apart from his life was lived good, until the day he died. [/SIZE]

[Color=DarkBlue][size=1]Name: Theia Nicole Thames

Reaper Name: Kinder

Soul Age: 14

Appearance: See attachment

Personality: Theia is an incredibly out spoken teen. She likes to argue with anyone, and usually wins. She loves to hear herself talk, and would talk the ear off a wall.

She may not know what she's talking about,

Reaper's Becoming: Theia was killed by a serial rapist. One night, she had gone to bed at a friend's house, and he struck then. She saw him, and started to yell.

He pulled a knife on her and stabbed her. She tried to bite him, and he stabbed her in the head. She tugged at the knife for a second, then let out a blood curtling scream.

This awoke the parents, and they saved the other girl. Theia to some, died in vain. To others, she died a hero. To her parents, she died a fool.

Reaper's Weapon: The knife that killed her, and her fingernails.

Reaper's Gift: Telekinesis

Reaper's Former: Theia was born into an interesting family. Her mother was a psychologist and her father was a philosopher. It seemed like they were the most miss matched pair ever. Thier every opinion clashed, but yet they still managed to love each other.

Theia usually kept on her parent's good side, but she yearned to be a real teen. She was sick of helping with the files, or learning the twenty verse of a poem. She wanted to go to the local fast food jive and hang out. She yearned for the movie theather.

You could say her first and last step towards that started with erh sneaking out to go to Jamie's sleepover. The funny thing was, that Theia was the only one. No one else could have made it. That dissapointed Theia too, but the two girls had fun.

It was after they went to bed that night, that Theia's life was shot short of becoming her true self. A politican that would help smooth over things with foreign contries.[/size][/color]

[i][font=Verdana][color=sandybrown]Name: Vantrice Wiggins

Reaper Name: Dark Lash

Soul Age: 185

Appearance: Edited Appearances:
[url=http://server2.uploadit.org/files/ForgottenChild-hi3.jpg][color=sandybrown]Vantrice in human form.[/color][/url] [URL=http://server2.uploadit.org/files/ForgottenChild-hi4.jpg][color=sandybrown]As a reaper, Vantrice looks much like this.[/color][/url]

Personality: Vantrice is quiet and does what she's told (she never quite got out of the habbit). She only talks around friends, when she can be quite enjoyable company. She can play harmonica, she has a lively enthusiasm that shows in her smile and tries to be as friendly as she can. However, she has quite a temper, and a short one at that, so it's hard to like her, but she tries to conceal it as best she can.

Reaper's Becoming: Vantrice was killed by her mother for food. They were in the middle of nowhere and they were starving. Driven by her empty stomach and perhaps more, Vinni (Vantrice's mom), beat her daughter over the head with a rock until she was dead. This sudden end to Vantrice's life, with so much promised ahead of her, lead her to become a reaper when one showed her to Death and gave her the option.

Reaper's Weapon: [url=http://server3.uploadit.org/files/ForgottenChild-whip.jpg][color=sandybrown]A black whip.[/color][/url]

Reaper's Gift: perserverance, healing 2X faster than humans.

Reaper's Former: Vantrice was born on a large plantation just south of Atlanta, Georgia. Her father was the owner of the plantation, her master, however the man her mother "married" (they didn't have an actual wedding, they were just coupled and in love) was a slave. The master fathered the children of the plantation to control the amount of slaves. If a child was found that was not his, he would sell them. Vantrice's father was a field worker and her mother was a house servant. Her mother served the master and his family meals and looked after their children. When Vantrice was old enough, her mother taught her to sew and to wash the dishes and set the table and do the laundry and scrub the floors; any little thing that a five year old could do.

When Vantrice was twelve, the mistress had a child and so it was Vantrice's job to watch the infant while her mother watched the others. Vantrice was now cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, washing dishes, serving the meals, and watching the baby. One time, she was serving coffee to her master and a friend from South Carolina, and she spilled the coffee all over her master's white shirt and specially tailored tuxedo. Enraged, her master grabbed his chair and beat her even after she was unconcious. After, she was moved to the fields to work. She became strong in the fields, but was whipped too often for her mother's liking. So, with the companionship of her mother, she ran away. Her father was killed by the master when he refused to tell of their whereabouts, not that he knew anyway.

Vantrice and her mother never found civilization. They were lost in the wilderness with the promise of finally being free the only thing driving them. Vantrice truely believed she would one day be free and lead a good life. However, without food for two weeks, Vantrice's mother lost hope and broke down. She decided that the best thing for both of them was if Vantrice were dead; she would be put out of her misery and go to a better place, and her mother would have a full stomach. So Vantrice's mother beat the thirteen year old with a rock until a final sigh escaped her throat. A reaper lead her to Death where she became a reaper herself when given the choice. Her gift was perserverance and 2X faster healing that a human. She also
aquired a black whip as her weapon. She soon learned that her mother had been captured and returned to the farm where she gave birth to twins. One was killed because the master only wanted one. And besides, the other was a girl and he didn't want another "Vantrice".[/i][/color][/font]

Reaper Name: Termanis

Soul Age: 240

Reaper's Comeing: One day befor his grandson was to be born Arthas was killed on a street corrner by a common crook. He lay bleeding in the street, his last wish was to see his grandson. The Reaper who took him had pitty on him and sent him to Death, who saw the great potential and granted Arthas his wish, by becoming a reaper Arthas could see his grandson grow old, and when it came time, he was the one who took the boy to Deaths embrace.

Reaper's Weapon: Termanis carries with him a wooden handled scyth, from the staff of the scyth many strings of beads and pendants hang. On his comeing the beads chim in the wind.

Reaper's Gift:
Windwalking, Termanis comes and goes as the wind, one momment there, the next gone. He is utterly silent when he moves save when he arrives at a doomed mortals death bed, when the beads and pendants on his scyth chime in the unseen wind, a sign of death.

Arthas did not fear death because he knew he had lived a full life, from the time he was born to his untimely death Arthas loved nothing more than life, teaching his children to life there lives fully, and so they would not fear death ether. The day he died though, Arthas had wished for more time, even one day, so that he could see his grandson be born into the world. He asked the Reaper, "Kind sir, be there no other way but I am torn from my grandson?" The reaper had mercy on him and brought him befor Death.
"This sin that has been done to you is great child, but even I have not the power to do what you ask. Live can be taken by many but only One can give it. I can however grant you the sight of that which was torn from you, the right to protect him and in time, take him under my comforting embrace, become a reaper Arthas."
Arthas agreed.
"From this point on you shall be known as Arthas no longer...Your name now is Termanis."

[Heero Darkangel]

OOC: Sounds good.

Name: Jin Kazama

Reeper Name: Dark Angel

Soul Age: 18

Appearance: Look to attachments. Everything you see aswell as the tattoos. He stands at 6'1" and his wings are black and when they're closed they're two and half meters long when extended they're four and half meters (each wing) and they drag along the ground. They also retract and extract from his back and he use's them in any relm but the tatoos stay with him always in Reeper form or not.

Personality: Jin hardly speaks to anyone, he stands out in a crowd without saying a word. His persona is cold, uncaring and heartless and becomes confused and fustrated when something emotional appears to him. The only ambition he has.. is to achieve what ever task is laid out infront of him other than that he'll just keep to himself and only speak when he thinks its needed. He is an excellent fighter. He was taught how to do martial arts and is extremely good at it. Its the only thing he sees any worth in doing and the only thing that interests him at this moment. The only fear he has is emotion..meaning Love only because he doesn't understand it.

Reepers Becoming: At the age of three Jin parents died and he was given to his Grandparents who treated him poorly. For years they tortured him, Locked him up in his room, beat him until he was black and blue and from the age of 12 to 18 on every second day they made him have sex with prostitutes who raped him over and over again while his grandparents watched as if they enjoyed it. He felt humiliated and embarrassed everytime...but the worst thing was...he enjoyed it. After turning 18 he couldn't take it any more...his whole world was shattered and turned over and over again without anyway of gainning a stable life. His heart was filled with so much anger and hatered and what pushed him even further was the fact that on the night of his death..his grandfather stole away into his room...beat him senselessly and raped him over and over until he cried..until he screamed in pain...that night was the first time he had cried...and the first time he feared....and the last time he'd live. After his grandfather left that night...Jin broke the barred window and used a piece of glass from it and shoved it through his heart...killing himself.

Reepers Weapon: A one and a half meter long dark blue Sword with a black handle strapped to his back. A Pair of Sol Chakram's which he wheres on his waist.

Reepers Gift: Firekinesis: Able to control, manipulate, create Fire whenever he likes At times it can be hard to control when he's angry. can be used in both relms. Extreme speed and strength.

Reepers Former: Jin has only known anger, hatered, pain, violence..etc. His grandparents hated him never once showed him love, emotion, understanding, caring..anything to do with human emotion in that way. Because of this it made him emotional detached. He doesn't understand the meaning of a smile, love, caring....its all a mystery to him.

He wants to learn...but he gets easily confused and fustrated and tries to supress anything that makes him feel any kind of emotion. His back bears the pain and memories of past time tortures and whippings he was given when he was human...some how when he died they weren't left behind and neither was the haunting memories. He tries to hide the torturement of it all but finds it harder to do so...so to keep others from finding out...he speaks nothing of it, and when asked he walks away. That to him is the only way he knows of to leave it behind.

OOC: hope this is ok.

[SIZE=1][B]Whee! Look who's home! Man...typing is hard after being computer depraved O_o;[/B]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][B]Name:[/B] Quincy Conway

[B]Reaper Name:[/B] Sumiyaka

[B]Soul Age:[/B] 130

[B]Appearance:[/B] *attachment* [B][Edited Appearance][/B]
[B]
Personality:[/B] Quincy is, to be blunt, a hard ***** who takes crap from no man or woman. She may have been raised to wear frocks and pretty bows, but she is quite the opposite now. She has never thought the same about men after what the German soldiers put her through, and though as a child she dreamt of marriage and true love, she has now convinced herself that there is no such thing.
When she is in a good mood, which isn't too rare, Quincy is somewhat easier to get along with. She can drink heavily and not get too wobbly, only making more jokes and having a good time. She does not enjoy her job as she gets to see some horrible deaths that people have suffered, however, she will stick by it knowing that she is paying her due.

When Quincy is feeling particularly sadistic, she will materialise out of the shadows in front of the homeless or those she knows to be criminals. She revels in the fearful expressions.

[B]Reaper's Becoming:[/B] Quincy, being the headstrong woman that she always was, came to a rather strange and ultimately brutal end. She was always determined to avenge her father?s untimely death by the Germans and since she was the only child he ever had, she knew that it would be practically impossible to do so. She took a great chance and decided join the army, not as a woman, but as a man. She cut all her hair and took all the necessary measures to make herself fit in and she actually done well. Until she was taken in by the Germans as a prisoner of war. When it was discovered that she was a woman, Quincy was beaten, tortured and raped repeatedly until she gave up the will to live. By the time her corpse was found it was too bloody and mutilated for it to be identified and was covered up by the government. Her mother still thinks that she ran away from home.

[B]Reaper's Weapon:[/B] A silver scythe (cliché to the max ^_~) with elaborate Celtic patterns on the handle and start of the blade itself. It is lightweight but difficult to handle skilfully, Quincy is a master of it.

[B]Reaper's Gift:[/B] Increased speed and teleportation.

[B]Reaper's Former:[/B] Quincy was born to two parents who both loved and cared for her. She was somewhat spoilt as a child, seeing as her uncle was a rather rich businessman. Her parents had, however, always hoped for a baby boy, knowing that he would have more chance in the world than a girl would ever have. Quincy's father was a spy who sent the government information from 3 of the top German generals. He was one of the greatest spies of his time but met a sorry end when a traitorous Briton in search of a quick pay out revealed him. He was killed by firing squad and only his ear was sent back to his wife. His body was never found.

Naturally, Quincy was enraged and at the age of 18, she knew that she should do something. After making the necessary preparations and telling her mother that she would be going on a church camp, Quincy left to join the army. Like many other, she expected the war to be over within only a month or two, enough time for her to kill off a few Germans. Unfortunately, the war lasted for 4 years and it was in the third that Quincy was caught.
Her last word before she surrendered to sleep was 'Revenge...'[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[Raiyuu]

[COLOR=DarkGreen][SIZE=1]Name: Jackson Holloway

Reaper Name: Gossamer

Soul Age: 18

Appearance: see attachment (this is his appearance as a Reaper, not in life)

Personality: Jackson was always withdrawn and quiet in life, with the theory that everybody would just leave him alone if he kept himself to himself as much as possible. But behind the antisocial exterior, he was incredibly tenacious and hardworking. A very recent recruit of Death's, everything is new and confusing to him, but he is determined to make a better job of his death than he did of his life.

Reaper's Becoming: when some of the more anarchic students at his school decided to stir things up a bit and commit some petty arson, Jackson was trapped in a burning classroom. He'd done such a good job of making himself inconspicuous that nobody noticed he was missing until it was too late.

Reaper's Weapon: wind and fire wheels (see attachment)

Reaper's Gift: as Jackson could in life, in death Gossamer can make himself invisible, both to mortals on the mortal plane and to his fellows in Thanatos.

Reaper's Former: Jackson wa orphaned from an early age and was shuttled back and forth from one care-home to the next. Rather than attempt to form emotional bonds with the people he met, only to have them broken when next he moved, he simply withdrew into himself and never risked becoming attached to anything or anyone. At every school he was the kid that gets his glasses and his lunch money stolen, but defended himself by withdrawing into himself even further and not giving the other kids a reaction. At every school they would get bored of his quiet acceptance of their bullying just in time for him to move to another school and start the cycle over. If he had ever been allowed to stay in one place long enough, he would have achieved very highly academically, but he was always uprooted before he could get a grip on the teaching.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[baalthaczaar]

name: Icezer Paladiamus Maximov (pronounced eeser paldimus maximoff)

reaper name: Baalthaczaar

soul age: 153

appearance: typical turn of the century european. velvet tall hat, pinstripe-dress clothes, heeled leather shoes, a cape, a cane.

personality: Icezer has an airy feel to him, but he is also warm and friendly. he can easily attract attention when he enters a room, even though it is not his intention. a strategist in nature, he often thinks on how to approach the enemy rather than just charging blindly. he rather use the enemy's might against the enemy's self than to exert his own.

reaper's becoming: in the middle of the night while reading books in his study, he heard a noise coming from the court yard. he went to go check, he looked out the window-door, across the patio into the court yard. there he saw a man soaked in blood and beside him the life-less body of his dearest friend, who was on his way to warn him of the impending danger but was caught and killed. blinding rage came over him and he rampantly thrust-opened the window doors, madly rushing toward his friend's murderer, suddenly the cold rain started pouring, with this his sanity came back. he approached the killer slowly, drawing his cane-sword, he saw that the killer was muscle-toned, he deduced that the guy was not nimble, he was right. he thrusted his blade to the throat of the murderer, with the last attempt of this man, he drew his pistol and shot Icezer in the chest, popping his left lung, and puncturing his aorta.

reaper's weapon: a sword concealed inside his cane

reaper's gift: uncanny nimbleness, shadow- able to use any shadows as a doorway to anywhere, morph shadow to any tangible object.

reaper's former: the heir to the esteemed maximov family, highly educated since childhood. icezer's parents were murdered by jealous nobles. he was entrusted to thier closest family friend and icezer's dearest friend, artemius luiane. together they lived with artemius' daughter, who fell in-live with icezer but died from lukemia three years before the fateful night, when he met death.
