SECTION I
WHAT IS A REAPER?
Reapers have a long and storied history on PLANET EARTH. Harkening back
to the early days of HUMANKIND, reaping has played a major role in the
passage from the end of life to the beginning of eternity, and has been
depicted in many different forms.
For example, in WESTERN EUROPE, the specter of death was portrayed as
a HUMAN SKELETON. Fun! In the MIDDLE EAST, Death was shown to be THE
GOD KNOWN AS MOT OR MAWETH. This is also fun!
While these are just a couple of examples, they mean the same thing: you!
And with this, you might be wondering: What exactly is a Reaper? That’s a
very good question, MEIYING. To that end, let’s explore what it means so that
your HUMAN BRAIN can begin to comprehend your new position. In the
ENGLISH LANGUAGE, a Reaper must act thusly:
Respond
Efficiently
And with
Patience
Empathy and
Respect
Yes, yes. Acronyms make us excited too. We hope you are having as much
fun as we are, MEIYING.
But in all seriousness, being a Reaper means dealing with HUMANS when
they are scared, sad, and sometimes angry. Most beings don’t like to consider
their own mortality, and it is the job of the Reaper to ensure their passing is
handled with care while working in conjunction with the Ferrypeople (more
on them in Section III).
