Rules of Reaping
You have become a Reaper. Congratulations may or may not be in order. I, Zuulimos, have been tasked with writing an easy-to-follow set of guidelines for fledgling reapers.
Do note that these are merely guidelines. They're not enforced rules. However, not following those rules may anger Death.. And Angry Death likes to boot stupid reapers out of existence. Just so you know.
Where's my scythe, brah?
You might already be looking for your scythe. And perhaps some faux-chique gothic robes. Despite what you may think, they're NOT the uniform.
That particular image only popped up half a millennium ago, give or take a century. But a scythe isn't needed to for reaping. Still, it IS iconic ( I use it as well!) and fairly badass-looking, so if you want to use one, go right ahead!
There's two ways:
1) Get an existing scythe, and hold it while reaping. This will imbue it with your essence. This is the easiest method, but it carries a risk. It would be an material thing, so it can be stolen, which may have severe consequences for you. Also, holding the darn thing is a really difficult endeavor for non-corporeal reapers. They'd best stick to...
2)..Creating it from scratch. It requires some imagination and sufficient will to manifest your very own scythe. But once you do, you'll never lose it, as it'll always reform at your side, no matter what!
Why he'd die, brah?
Being a reaper, you're going to see people die. In fact, when you look at mortals, you'll know how and when they'll clock out.
So you might get slightly confused when it proves to be wrong.
One of the more firmclad rules of reality: The future is never set in stone. It's mostly because of this thing called 'free will', you might've heard about it?
Every action that a mortal undertakes has the potential to change their future fate. Or hell, even outside factors might change it.
For this reason,it's strongly advised to NOT tell mortals their time of death. That kinda knowledge can utterly change the outcome ( causing a lot more work on your end) or even worse, cause the predicted death to happen even faster.
I know, it sounds strange, but most people just die quicker if you tell them when they'll die. So unless you're an amoral A-hole, don't, unless it's really important to the universe or crap like that.
What the gray, brah?
The Gray is one of the more rarer things you'll see. This only happens when a mortal is going to come up to a true crossroad of destiny. A moment where a singular action will decide their fates. You'll recognize it by the sudden lack if color on your end. It's recommended that you stick around such people. Reapers only get the Gray when one of the actions will be death.
Stick to the program, brah!
