♱ · · • · · ♱BACKSTORY♱ · · • · · ♱

Aterius are the purgatory's worker, creatd by the purgatory's god. They work in many different fields but tends to be busy to keep in order the world and prevent celestial wars. They usually aren't aggressive and don't kill, using their blades in a defensive dance, using their poisonous fluid -some kind of blood replacement- as paralysis poison that cures with time and magic to imprison the corrupted souls.
They also have no will to take control of the world, their only role is the world's stability and they will only fight to prevent paradise, hell or any powerful mystical strenght to rule on everything.

Some work in the fights, some other in the Reincarnation office - where they send the souls to their new lifes -, as Grim Reapers and Fossoyeurs - to bring back souls to the Reincarnation office - or have common jobs like humans. They can also be given a master or leave the purgatory to have the life they choose outside.
For that, they were given blade as tail and magic. Their rarity increase as well as their ability to use magic, making the common unable to use it, uncommon able if they're helped by artifacts and rare can use it without any restriction.

The size of the tail also increase with their rarity, not being the case for all of them but rare ones tends to have bigger blade.
The Aterius having the biggest blades will have roles such as general or war for huge axes, while small blades will have life easier as assassin.
Note that they won't die by growing older but they still can be killed!

♱ · · • · · ♱World and Work♱ · · • · · ♱

The pugatory offers a lot of different jobs and usually works alone, without asking help from the Heaven and Hell. An Aterius usually studies at the Purgatory's Academy to learn how to become a Grimm Reaer, Fossoyeur, teacher or other purgatory related carrers to work for the purgatory once they graduate. They will learn the basics of most of the jobs and get a specialisation with the possibility to change later. But they can also choose a totally different life and follow their dreams so there's no job limitation for them. If allowed, they can even join the mortal world and live peacefully with humanity.



♱ · · • · · ♱Reincarnation Bureau & Necromancy♱ · · • · · ♱

Every souls of the living beings go through the Reincarnaton Bureau. Once your soul colected and in the administrative part of the purgatory, you will be allowed to reborn between the different species of the common living beings accessible from the karma you accumulated in your life. In rare cases, you can choose to reborn as an Aterius.
An Aterius can access the Reincarnation system as well and reborn wth all their memories -until if they give up on it- with an higher rarity.

The workers of the Reincarnation Bureau are the Aterius who graduated rom the Purgatory's Academy as Fossoyeur or Grimm Reaper. Their job is towork as pair and travel to the mortal side to bring the soulds to the bureau.
The Grimm Reapr is the one in charge of cutting thelink between the body and the soul while the Fossoyeurs are the ones protecting the soul until they bring it to the work place safely, where the Grimm Reaper will either link the soul to a special scroll to seal it inside the purgatory so they won't get lost, until the soul can reincarnate or imprison it in special situations.
High rank Fossoyeurs don't have any limitation of how long they can keep a soul with them while high rank Grimm Reapers have none for where they can seal it, but lower ranks needs to bring it and seal it to a scroll as soon as possible.

The last reason of why they works in pair is because of the Necromancers. Those are Aterius who learned the work of the Grimm Reaper and Fossoyeurs but doesn't work for the purgatory and sells their services to the mortals instead. They usually asks both money and vital energy as payment, which can make them stronger than usual. In this situation, having a pair is the solution in most of the cases. If the Necrommancer is too strong, the Reincarnation Bureau will ask their superior to send either an high rank mage or fighter. The illegal worker will then have their soul imprisonned as punishment for their crimes.
