Okay, hold up. Let me break this down a bit.
Quote:Asides from humanity being Jᴜsᴛ Gʀᴇᴀᴛ, why do the Reapers decide to come and live among them?It's easier to be less afraid of something if they're living with you without any problems. Before they tried to broker with humanity for a place in their world, they were pretty much monsters under beds and nobody really knew what they were. There's a Reaper in history that started the whole "Grim Reaper" thing. They wanted to try and integrate with humanity not only to try and alleviate the fear of soul-collecting things from another plane of reality, but also so they wouldn't cause a witch hunt whenever they had to collect souls.
Quote:Do they retain anything special asides from the brand or are they just "there."Kind of like Coro in the SRS RP, they're "the magic-using race." Each Reaper has an ability they can use at their discretion, but nothing terribly destructive. For example, the main character who is one has the ability to shadow step (in other words, teleport from shadow to shadow unnoticed). There's another character in the same group that has the ability to read minds and link thoughts; she does so for outbound pairs or small groups for riskier or longer contracts or missions, as well as to keep tabs on operatives and the like.
Yes, I'm planning a cliche "Don't even think about it" line.
Quote:Do those who're in the living world still need to do their duties?They still need to do their duties, yeah.
Quote:CAN they return to the afterlife?Can you go home after a business trip or a vacation?
They can come and go as they please, but most prefer to stay in the world of the living.
Quote:What happens when a Reaper dies? Do they get shoved back into the afterlife and continue their job or are they sent off like non-Reapers to Eᴛᴇʀɴᴀʟ Hᴀᴘᴘʏ Lᴀɴᴅ Pʟᴀᴄᴇ?I... Haven't really figured that out yet.
Cut me some slack, man, I'm not even finished with chapter 1 yet :v
