Grim Reaper Species in Elema | World Anvil

Grim Reaper

It was a lovely bright and starry night.   My body began to feel cold, and I could barely see the stars anymore   When the last light was about to go out   And darkness was consuming me on all sides   Suddenly A bright warm light washed over me   Gave me such a great feeling a feeling of home   The light it was calling to me   Open my eyes to peer into the light   I saw a man wearing darkness blackness robes holding a scythe   He extended his hand to me   I embraced the man's hand   Felt like a long lost friend has come to Take Me Home   We walked into the light
The Grim Reaper is thought to be the embodiment of death, yet they are not. They are soul harvesters. They are spiritual guides to the hereafter. Every soul that has fallen on the soil will be led by them to the next life. The grim Reaper may appear to be a necromancer's pleasant dream, but they are celestial beings. They are divine messenger sent by the gods and goddesses to return souls to one of their celestial realms for final resting places.

Basic Information

Anatomy

When you first see the Grim Reaper, the black hood draws you in; this cloak covers its entire body. All you can see is a skull, hand bones, and forearm bones. One of those bone hands always has a black scythe in it. The only difference between Grim Reapers is the blade of the scythe blade. Some just choose a different curvature, while others are highly rigid and have teeth. All 8 divided energy radiate from their body

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

They do not appear to have any of the normal sensory systems that we mortals have. The way Grim Reaper perceives, and comprehends the world. They employ an ultra-enhanced version of Magic Sense . According to our understanding, their magical energies radiate all eight divine forces outward from them into the globe. Connecting with the world's spirits, soul, and magical energies. Then they return to their minds with a hyper-colored 3D world view. They are able to interpret the soul, aura, and magical energy that all living animals, plants, and the environment possess.

They also have a Death scent. We had no idea what it was or how it worked. We do know that they are drawn to death; they are aware of when it occurs and when a soul is required to enter the hereafter. Doctor Kai Bell discovered this. He conducted an intriguing but terribly immoral experiment.

Because of the divine sight rite, this was performed three times. He only had three assistants who were willing to give up their sight. The experiment involved taking two criminals on death row, murdering one, and making the other appear to have died entirely. The person who will die will always be injected with a poison that stops the heart in 5 minutes.

The second will have their body appear dead.  To all know magical and scientific methods of detecting life while yet being able to be restored. This is done according to a ritual that has been lost to time.  Following the ritual, the body has no heartbeat, no circulation, and no chakra or nerve system activity. To all intents and purposes, the body is dead. The body will not even begin to degrade for 15 minutes, and everything is reversible.

In the first experiment, they started with the ritual. They waited 8 minutes and nothing happened. Then injected the other person with poison after 5 1/2 minutes, a Grim Reaper appeared and swung its scythe right threw the deceased poisoner's body, yanking its soul out kicking and screaming in pain. The Grim Reaper has no interest in the person undergoing the ritual. Then they just departed, with the spirit being dragging right behind them as he was in excruciating pain. The grim Reaper didn't pay any mind to any of it.

They began the second experiment by poisoning the first prisoners. Then, 5 1/2 minutes later, a Grim Reaper appeared. That's when they planned to finish the ritual on the second prisoner. The grim Reaper turned its head for a moment before returning to the first body. Then swung his scythe deep within its body, tearing out the soul in misery, kicking and screaming. Then they simply departed.

The final experiment was carried out in the same manner as the first. I began with the ceremony and then waited 8 minutes. The other prisoner was then poisoned. The cream Reaper arrived in 5 1/2 minutes. Swung his Scythe at the neck, yanking him from his body. Once the Grim Reaper starts to walk away. Dr Bell took a syringe and stabbed it into the ritual subject's heart and sliced his throat. The Grimm Reaper came to a halt in its tracks. Turn to the newly dead body extended out its hand to the soul, who took hold of the Grimm's hand. They walked away while the first victim was dragged by his neck.

History

Soul Retrieval


This is going to be the abridged form if you want to read more about it and have a full understanding please check out Lecture on Going to the Afterlife

The divine entities who retrieve souls on the land are known as grim reapers. They will appear between 30 seconds to 5 minutes. For the majority of the records we've seen. They approach the deceased body; sometimes the soul has already left the body, and other times it is still inside. Now, if they put out their hand, it will seem as if they are a long-lost family member or friend. You're probably on your way to the celestial world to be chosen by one of the eight gods and goddesses who will welcome you home.

If you have a sense of dread and fear. Then they swing their scythe into you, inflicting you suffering beyond anything you've probably felt on the mortal coil. Then they begin to drag you no matter what you do to them or to yourself. You'll find yourself in one of the eight worst locations to be in the celestial realm.
