## Reapers

<br><br>
Birthed from coils of darkness, deep in the Shadowfell, Reapers are entities granted life by the Raven Queen to transport souls from the planes at their time of death to the underworld, or wherever their soul will reside after death.

### Tenebrous Origin
Reapers are formed by shadow and moil, and come into existence in an adult body. Their skin is black, with an almost slippery and elastic texture. What hair they have, if any, is wisp-like and more akin to smoke than anything substantial. They often have sharp, black teeth and long, clawed nails.

Despite their wicked and fearsome design, Reapers are curious, if not monotone. They begin to develop individual thoughts and their personality as they age, and thus, the younger a Reaper is, the more unadjusted to typical customs and culture they may be. They tend to be quite intelligent and further develop a sense of identity after their first decade of life.

Reapers possess no gender when they are born, and instead choose their own identity as they come of age.

### Bound to Duty

Reapers were born into the Shadowfell for the purpose of being ferrymen for souls, ensuring their departure from the planes and their arrival to the underworld after their death.

Most Reapers find themselves in service to the Raven Queen as Soul Carriers, however, others become her messengers, or are unbound from her service to carry out lives in other planes.

> ##### Author's Note
> When making a Reaper, consider how they came to the life or adventuring? Maybe they were unbound for their years of service and began a journey of their own. Or maybe, after beginning to discover their own sense of identity, fled to uphold an ideal of their own. Perhaps, they were never bound to her service at all.

### Reaper Names
Reapers are born without a name and choose their own as soon as they are ready. Some reapers choose a the first word that enters their head as soon as their birthed, while others go through several names before discovering the name that resonates with them.
