Hidden by the shadows,
there are those of us who carry a burden no person should ever have.
The select few control the most important decision there could ever be.
Who dies.
We are the Reapers.
Reapers. A word many in the modern era know, but do not believe. We come to take the souls of those whose time has come. We don't know why we do it, or who made us. All we know is that we have this obligation. This drive. We calculate probabilities which cause someone's death. Then, hand-in-hand, we walk their souls to the door. Reapers don't know what is beyond, only that the soul must enter through before can take another.Hidden by the shadows,

We are the Reapers.
True Reapers, and not Wraiths, were never born. We have no true family. We only exist in the world by implanted memories. Our family and friends remember us being there, always. We, however, do not. One day we just appeared. Some were lucky enough to appear as children, knowing of their purpose. Most of us, however, appeared when we were a teenager, or early adult. Our only purpose is to understand the humans and what is needed. Then we calculate the probabilities of whose death will positively contribute to the greater good.
Wraiths have a much sadder story. They were real. They were merely humans who died and came back. Not all near-death-experiences create a Wraith, but a few do. These are humans who must now take other lives. Their emotions often get in their way, but in order for them to live, they must take. The balance must be kept.
Reapers:
Reapers exist, but were never born. They just are. They have few emotions, though the longer they are with humans, the more they feel. They are known to take Enders under their guidance if wanted. They can accurately calculate probabilities which will lead to the targeted death. They are rarely wrong.
Wraiths:
Normal human who has been on Earth since birth. Grew up with a family that they are truly related to. Emotions are valid and normal. They have less calculating abilities than Reapers. They have increased chance of killing the wrong person. Their emotions often cause these issues.
Enders:
Enders were once Wraiths or Reapers who have now lost their way. They are rogue, taking at will. Those who refuse to take are also Enders. Reapers and Wraiths must convert them back, or destroy them. Enders receive their name for a reason. Without balance - without control - chaos ensues.
Human: Need I explain?
NOTES:
- Reapers/Wraiths can die. People die without a Reaper or Wraith. It's part of the balance. We just help move things along to better the world. Sometimes, that means killing someone who is making a difference. Their death might have a high probability to continue their work and to get it recognized.

Name: Anastasia Sophia Elwood
Age: 17
Age of Existence (if Reaper): N/A
Circumstance of Death (if Wraith): Ana was thirteen when she died. Her family had been normal. Nothing was amiss. Until one day, her elder brother stole a shotgun from a friend's house and opened fire on his family. Ana's father and youngest brother perished. Her mother survived unharmed. Ana made a deal with a mysterious dark figure to come back, as long as she took other lives. Only those whose time was up. Only those whose death would matter. She accepted, knowing that one day when she was able to reach her brother, she would kill someone who truly deserved death.

YOUR AGE NEEDS TO BE IN HUMAN YEARS. WE ARE HUMANS. WE CAN DIE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. WE DO NOT LIVE LONGER. WE ARE MERELY GETTING A SECOND, OR NEW, CHANCE. AGE OF EXISTENCE MERELY MEANS WHEN, AS A REAPER, WERE YOU CREATED AND PUT ON THE EARTH? IF YOU ARE 18 AND WERE CREATED WHEN YOU WERE 15 (YOU JUST APPEAR WITH MEMORIES OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORLD, AND FRIENDS AND FAMILY HAVE MEMORIES OF YOU GROWING UP) THEN 15 WILL BE YOUR AGE OF EXISTENCE AND 18 YOUR AGE.
