Ghost
The Reaper
The reapers of the world are forever servants. Living as long as civilization itself, reapers are rare--only a dozen for the billions of Earth--and burdened with their unending task of shepherding the dead. Tied into the strings of fate, their sight allows them to see the past, present, and future of each soul. But if these threads are altered too suddenly, even cut short, the reaper tending to them will be scarred with the lash of a fate broken. A reaper can be identified by their scars and their scythes, but are adapt at blending into the back of a person's thoughts, morphing into mere forces of nature. Each reaper acts an avatar for the souls of the dead, taking on the mantle bestowed upon them by creation and with it, some of the qualities of these souls.
Ghost is amongst the oldest of these servants, coming into creation in ancient Mesopotamia and having lived through civilization since. Acting as The Reaper of Those Foresaken, he was brought into being alongside his twin sister by forces unknown. However, while his sister was worshipped as a goddess of death, he was branded as a demon, a devil, a monster. Foresaken much like the souls they collect, Ghost has lived much of his life since in a solitude, only rarely accompanied by souls that manage to be lonelier than he is. His rare companions are those who can see him for what he is--death itself--and not shy away from it. We will all die some day.
Alongside their mission of collecting the final breaths of the dead, reapers act as intermediaries between other servants of the afterlife, and Ghost often having the duty of passing along souls to the gates of hell.
