So, in this world the Devil has made a treaty with the three reigning Reapers. The ones who are called and designated by the titles of flesh, blood and bone. They have agreed to work together for their goals to end the most powerful deity that has ever graced existence. Though, things may need to be rushed as the Ancient of Days, Adonai, is planning another purge of the world for its sins and treachery. The Reaper's find this blasphemous as such mass extinction usually requires the approval of the Gods of Death. It appears that this deity no longer requires them and this has created a fear that their relevance may be at an end.
The purpose of these creatures has always been to end life and existence. To assure that everything returns to what it once was and to bring balance and control to life as well as forcing it too change.
Time is ending and their control is faltering, in desperation the Three Reaper's have decided so save one singular city during God's coming fire. As the world ends, Izanami has decided that this city will be that of Tokyo. It is the largest human settlement that has ever existed in human history and being bias towards her own people, she has decided to give them favor. If required though, the other Gods can take advantage of fate, coincidence, luck, or whatever they can muster to bring the humans they wish for salvation and potential to become immensely destructive beings known as Reapers.
These are not the only dangerous beings within this world. Angels are known to question and even challenge Gods intentions. There are Demons who have waged a violent war with the reapers over control of the underworld but with their new alliance coming to fruition, this may be the first time in history where Demons and Reapers work en mass. There have been some Demons who have defied even the devil though and may have sought refuge within the Death Gods. Lastly, the humans have existed to this modern day. Magic is something that has existed in their world and there may be some humans who are still dedicated to the craft. Their unique trait is that they have never been designated a future and their freedom to decide for themselves on how they wish for their life to be, is their own choice.
We will be living in a world of brutal endeavors and have to survive many things. You need to be careful and decide for yourself on how to live through this strife.
May luck be yours and choose your pact wisely.

Izanami No Mikoto, Matron of the Dead
"Welcome, sentient soul, my name is Izanami. I am the Matron of the dead. One of many Gods dedicated to the idea that you beings call death. There are quite many of us and our goal has always been to create balance within our world. You have likely heard of the many beings your kind tend to worship. Whether it is many or even if it is none at all, you have likely been affected by these ideas. Those creations have a purpose, like mine, and must tend to the world and it's inhabitants. As time continues, we must assure that things never stop changing and it is at this point we must rebel against some powerful entities to bring them too heel."
And end it shall, one of the leading reapers within the coalition. She also controls the main army of the dead known as the Shinigami. Despite being the one with the most reach, she is also known for being the most precise with her actions. She believes that there must be balance and that justice will eventually come to those that deserve it. An angry and jealous being, she was betrayed by the person she loved and adored. One of the first beings to ever die, she was sent to the underworld where she slowly starved in a large empty void known as the Underworld. She could no longer live like she had before and as time went on, she eventually found a single tree that bore some fruit. Giving in to her starvation, she devoured the fruit and slowly started to become an embodiment of death herself. Rotting and falling apart, she would eventually become bone. Though, she did not die and instead she slowly began to regain her flesh as her body began to reappear on the emptiness of her bones.
She would be reborn as an entity of death. She would begin to expand what we know of the underworld and breathe life in this empty place.
For those that wish to follow under Izanami she is dedicated to the Pact of Flesh. The ability to regenerate limbs, eyes, brains or a heart. Can be done if you devote yourself to her but fear not, if you can one day overcome this deity, you may be able to control things as she does. The involvement of flesh, can also include manipulating your skin to be tough, or rigid enough to withstand cuts from blades as well as bringing things to life from your body like rats, insects, ravens, et cetera to aid you. The altering of the body can have numerous affects and if you wish to do so, choose this god to be your guide. -
Azrael, The Angel of Death
Balance is what this world requires. It is something that needs to be done to fulfill the Reapers purpose. Azrael is one of the few who can bring Reaper's into this world and not only that but being an angel helps him defy death. If a Reaper of his dies he can use his angelic magic to bring life back within them. Though, this is something dangerous as it requires sacrifices in turn. The more valuable someone is, the more things that must be taken to bring them back into this world. There is a problem though, as Reaper and Angel magic does not often work with one another. It could cause the angel to be corrupted or infested with Demons. While the Devil may be an ally at this time does not mean he won't take more Reaper's to his side. His Reapers often travel in pairs if case such infestations happen and the Reaper must end the life of the other to make sure they don't fall to the Devil.
Azrael is an Angel with the powers of the Reaper. This makes him very different than other angels. While those Angels will often follow the will of God. Azrael is more similar to Demons in the sense that he can defy God and do as he pleases. Though God has used Azrael as a messenger and as his personal Reaper but things are changing and this Angel is beginning to believe it should be an end to the Creator. He is beginning to sound himself more like a demon.
For those that are wishing to follow under Azrael. He is currently defined as the pact of Blood. Such things allow for blood magic as well as the creation of weapons through blood. While these Reapers can heal similarly too Izanami they have the requirement of drinking blood too allow that too happen. Blood is a weakness though as they need to be careful to keep their blood levels stable. They can also make small cuts and slashes into something extremely damaging as they also have the ability to make blood unable to clot. Which can be troublesome for opponents. They can also absorb powers temporarily from other reapers through the drinking of blood. They are the most adaptable but also among the most vulnerable as a lack of blood can mean collapse, blindness and even death for these Reapers. -
Mictlāntēcutli, Lord of Miklan
"I am one of the forgotten and unknown that still exists within the land. I have also been one of the few that has belonged to the Pact of Flesh, Blood and Bone. This awful system of power is how we Death Gods create a working hierarchy within ourselves. Only one can have any designated title at any given time and the one I have attained is the one of bone. Reapers have control of each of these to a certain extent but focus will yield greater strength with one but let the others falter. They all have their purposes and advantages to the beings that control them and mastering all three is a difficult task. A fourth caste does exist and it is the one of spirit which all Reapers can influence but not one can claim to reign it. As for those that choose that caste, it is one of equality and while I respect such stances we do not have the luxuries of that life."
The one that cares least for the efforts of the other Reapers has decided to give what he can to their efforts. Being a part of the council you are among the most important decision makers for the Gods of the dead. Chosen through conflict between Reapers with the victor gaining the title. Title holders may be replaced and changed as needed if problems arise through fierce battle. The process cannot be abandoned once instated and must continue until death decides itself to present the victor with its prize. The three that hold this will be able to enter the most sacred of places with the initial graveyard which was the birthplace of everything as well as the last thing to exist before it is all gone. Death will imbue a mark on those that are its leaders and it will gladly take it away from those and actively work against them if they do not live to its expectations.
While being important to the Reaper's the largest reason to become the leader of a pact is to offer more control over a certain section of life. Though, being a target isn't necessarily positive but there usually isn't too many rumblings within the underworld at the decisions the three usually make but this may be a period that can change that.
Mictlāntēcutli is among Gods who doesn't necessarily seem too focused on the aspect of death but those whom are dying. Known for keeping people locked within bone cages, he is obsessed with the idea of how things die. It has always been their focused and while they have been interested in blood and flesh sacrifices they have preferred dealing with bones themselves.
The Pact of Bone is interesting as it can allow for numerous implementations. From spreading bone shards across the ground to allow it to grow into skeletal limbs which can help secure of bring creatures down. Towards making your own bones erupt from your body to create blades or blunt weapons. Sharp teeth are known as well as the use of skeletons to fight for you. While the pact of bone doesn't necessarily have an army the sheer amount of skeletons a Reaper can summon is incredibly overwhelming and the amount you can use to hoard someone is relentless. Problems can arise with making weapons that rip from your body though as this obviously will damage your body. Being able to allow for flesh and blood and mix with other pacts can help as well but you will not be as good as those that proclaim themselves to that pact. Though, pacts can change though you must remove the previous pact from yourself and this will leave you remarkably weak. So keep in mind whom you choose. -
ONE WITH NOTHING
This pact is capable of being the most unique. It can be almost anything and this is a reason it is so important to the Reapers.

As for the Character Sheet, here it is. I would prefer more realistic artwork if you plan to use images to describe your Reaper or any kind of creature you wish. Things like witches, vampires, and werewolves do exist but we shall focus our main cast within the Reapers. We will be united and working often together and having to deal with whichever creatures we need to deal with.

This shall be discussed but shall take place in Tokyo Japan. The Armageddon will soon start to begin and most of the world will erupt with fire. People who are needed will find themselves drawn to the largest human settlement of all time and more importantly the place that will attract these people is towards a specific hospital. If your character is already a demon, reaper or whichever they shall find themselves here. If you are a human you will find your way here and this building seems to be something particular as everyone will be quick to notice that there is absolutely no one here.

I do apologize for how long this has taken I was also waiting to see if others would be interested but much has happened but I am excited to try and start this and keep it alive. I know there are things I should likely still answer and any questions I will gladly answer! Let me know what you guys think and I know I took a lot from my first post but I am working on a post starting this as well as character sheets for the players I shall be using for this. See ya!
