BACKGROUND LORE:
Reapers are not commonly observed in environments with other species. Often choosing to pair up in groups of 5-8 and live a nomadic lifestyle like that in wet biomes, such as swamps, rainforests, and even oceans. They never seem to settle in one place, however some Reapers do enter other species villages and cities although they do so alone, pretending to be a human. Reapers have never been included in any wars due to their nomadic lifestyle and lack of members in their species. Being rare to come across. This scatter and rarity of the species is due to their blood being able to have healing properties. Being able to cure diseases and physical cuts. Although broken and shattered bones have no effect on this ability. This makes and made them a hunted species
APPEARANCE:
Similar to both Human, Elves and Tapeti in humanoid shape yet almost the opposite of Tapeti in almost every way. Reapers are normally shorter than their counterparts. Their average height sitting in the 5ft (1.52 m) range. They have eyes which can change colour depending on the last liquid they consumed, Example being if they have red eyes and drink water, their eyes will change colour to a clearish blue. They also seem to have a few clear layers of skin that don't seem to have any nerves at all. These layers of skin are extremely soft to the touch, although it has no ability to grow hair other than on their head. Their skin also seems to be able to naturally harden like armour, being able to bounce off sharp items, however not without bruising their skin. They are also never seen with scars or cuts due to this.
Reapers have been known to grow unnatural hair colours such as blue, red, and pink. These are nothing more than genetic mutations, however.
CULTURE:Reapers, Much like the Tapeti have a mostly female population however instead of killing or abandoning males, males are direct equals to their female counterparts. Reapers also live next to oceans and large bodies of water. Needing a constant intake of water to survive. This water, if not clean, can be absorbed by their skin, which acts as a natural filter. They are very social creatures as well, even though they do have anxiety. Reapers within villages often walk up to complete strangers, asking for head pats and physical affection if they have no friends around. Their strength is greater than even the most fit and strongest humans, although not by much. Most of this mussel goes into their legs, giving them a small jump boost, easily being able to clear their height. This also means a kick from them can be very deadly, especially due to their athleticism.
STRENGTHS, AND WEAKNESSES
Strengths:
Reapers are able to blend into crowds easily, being hard to detect by the average human due to their structure, however if you offer a drink of a different colour to their eyes you can easily come to a conclusion. Along with their hair colour if unnatural. They are also extremely hard for people with the Vampirism Affliction to attempted and drink their blood. This would normally mean they would go for other species however, due to the healing properties of their blood, they are still targeted on rare occasions.
A reaper’s strength is decently better than that of a human, their legs taking most of this mussel up, this means that a kick from a reaper can become lethal, as well as that they can jump higher than usual, some being able to jump as high as a Tapeti.
A reaper has skin which as able to harden against sharp objects, known to break daggers and arrows upon contact, which makes them much harder to assassinate by conventional means. They don’t show any cuts due to this, as they cannot get any. Natural armour is what they call it.
Reapers need to be near a source of water, like an ocean or lake. Even human made wells and fountains can work, but a unique ability is being able to absorb snow, this gravitates them towards Ashmore and Grimwood.
Weaknesses:Reapers have weak bone structure. This means blunt force is extremely lethal to them. A hard punch is enough to shatter or break a reaper's bone. Fist fights have been known as lethal to them.
Lycanthropy is not part of this list.
Although Reapers are somewhat magical beings, they do not have the ability to use magic at all.
Reapers do not wear armour due to their need of water. Armour prevents them from doing so. They also find that their skin is harder than traditional armour anyway.
