the Afterlife : Reapers' Order
차사들 : a veteran reaper 'a Harbinger' receives the ledger of the deceased directly from 'the Overlord' and, as a rule, operates strictly alone.
However, an unseasoned, prospective reaper 'a Squire' must carry out missions under the watchful eye of a overseer for a long period before being officially ordained.
Throughout their trials, they must embody the core virtues of their training: Swiftness, Coldness, Silence, and Penitence.
Only when they find the answer to a single question lingering deep within their hearts can they finally be ordained as a veteran Harbinger and receive the ledger from the Overlord.
That singular question is...
"Of all the countless, effective weapons available, why were we given such a heavy and cumbersome scythe?"
Squires - Unordained
Reapers' Order
line drawing to rendering
process
An individual's eligibility to be ordained as a Reaper is dictated by the gravity of the transgressions they bore in life.
Spared from the depths of Hell, their absolution is replaced by an eternal penance: to gaze upon demise and harvest the souls themselves.
Overseer - First to Behold Death
The one who guides these unordained reapers is the first to have ever witnessed death 'a spirit beast' who is both a close friend and mentor to 'Death,' the lord of all reapers.
