Each Aschevolk serves under a reaper, and each reaper has at least a single entrance and exit to the underworld - doorways called Gates. Souls are brought through these to find their place in the afterlife, strengthening the reaper and those who serve under them.
However, having different expectations on how things are run and how much to meddle in Humans lives, there's a constant power struggle between reapers as they try to carry on their work. They've created their own organizations, their own temples, called Orders - and thus created sometimes less-than-friendly competition between their Aschevolk.
Each Order goes by its own name, and has a different way things are run by its reaper -
Seraphim
A cult-like family that brings humans into their so-called religion, keeping them in close proximities as to easily obtain their souls. The Aschevolk of this consider one another as close as family, assisting one another through any hardships.
Countdown Cadence
Orderly and business-like, the members of this faction run like work. Souls are meant to be gathered in a timely fashion, detachment from the humans you involve yourself with is to be expected. Aschevolk of this organization tend to live in homes with one another as opposed to with humans, as to further their attachment to the 'product'.
Wolfsbane
Far and few between, members of wolfsbane blend seamlessly into human society with little help from others of the group. Though they're endlessly loyal to the leader of this faction, they tend to not think much of one another. They tend to be the most involved in ordinary human lives.
The following are the reapers of each order!
From left to right: Luci, of Seraphim; Pluto, of Countdown; and Kore, of Wolfsbane.
Lore of them will slowly be released through events, and you're welcome to let them be relevant in an Aschevolk's story.
Luci is a dreamy, motherly type with a god complex, eager to grow in strength and convinced everything they do is simply part of their ascension, regardless of morality. As such, they regularly encourage Aschevolk to stray from the typical mindset of 'only take souls of the dead', instead encouraging them to end lives early.
They're charismatic, affectionate, and graceful; spending most of their time in temples surrounded by Aschevolk and human followers alike.
Pluto, the leader of Countdown, takes on a very sadistic, boss-like attitude. They're strict to schedules, and tend to dispose of Aschevolk that they see as nonbeneficial to their 'company' - as such, their Aschevolk tend to be very talented and efficient.
Pluto rarely has personal relations with their Aschevolk, instead viewed as cruel for their over-the-top discipline when they're disappointed.
Kore is essentially a ghost - wandering from place to place, near impossible to track down, and known by few. Most of their Aschevolk hold vague memories of their caring attitude from when they were guardians, and those that have met them would describe Kore as warm and gentle, but fleeting.
Only a handful of Aschevolk have seen them multiple times; but at time Wolfsbane Aschevolk will hear their call in the back of their mind; a soft voice teaching them to take only souls that have met their fate, guiding them, telling them they're loved.
The above traits are special traits specifically for the relevant order. You're free to use them if you're part of that order, or alter existing designs to have them!
