Reaper Corp.
World building notes:
- In this universe, there are no such things as 'humans'. Every living being is an animal, an animal hybrid, or an 'other' entity.
- Demons not in their Demon (animal) form whom are outside of Hell use a 'Guise' form. The Guise form that all demons who can do so use is said to reflect the Guise that the Devil himself takes, though nobody knows why it appears this way. They have no concept of what a human is. ('Guise' is our perception of human but with demon characteristics still intact.)
- My characters in this world revolve around their shared interactions with the company they are hired by known as Reaper Corp. (or the facade company above it)
- Reaper Corp., as one might imagine, is sustained by the souls of the damned. In order to retrieve souls, they employ Reapers to collect them.
- All of the Reaper aspect of the company is basement level 1 and below.
- The ground level and up of Reaper Corp. is a functioning 'wellness center and gym' establishment known by a public brand name that has nothing to do with Reaper Corp. The Reaper Corp. is not a publically known entity.
- All workers from Ground Level and up are regular animals / animal hybrids. Very few demons ever go to these levels, and only ones who can 'Guise' as a regular animal fully are permitted to do so.
- Workers in Reaper Corp. consist of, but are not limited to; Demons (and all derivitive typings), Imps & Goblins, Hellhounds and other Hellbeasts, Ghosts (and all derivitive typings), Mythological beasts, Changelings, Vampires, Dark Fae, Cursed beings.
- Reapers are created by processing and contracting a strong damned soul. In essence, they must succeed in claiming back their living existence and then spend it serving the Corp. The challenge that must be succeeded is determined by the Lord of whatever region the damned soul is confined to. The challenge always disadvantages the damned soul. Once succeeded, they reclaim a remnant of their life (magic) and may leave Hell.
- Almost all animals in this world have no idea Demons exist, and if they do.. they think it's merely a tale told by parents to scare their children. Animals who have relations to Demons in some manner (familial, in example) do not speak of them, and can receive work either above or below ground (depending on circumstance).
- In the above scenario, Shirina Attia is aware of Demons/Reapers and works at Ground Level, but she does go below on occasion when work demands it (as she has clearance level to do so). Why she knows.. is a story for another time :)
- [I more than welcome anyone to use this world as a backing story for their characters, especially if you like demons/reapers or simply want your anthro animal oc to work in a wellness center or gym. Think of Reaper Corp like any other company. It has management of all levels, and workers from paper to computer tasks to switchboarding to contract writing to advertisement and PR.. anything!]
