Soul Reaper's Choice
 

Name: Serenity De'Lane
Age:11
Gender: Female
Slave Name: Cora
How long you been a slave: Her whole life.
Powers: Water manipulation
Bio: Serenity's parents use to be kind loving people, but her father was killed immediately when the Soul Reapers started to rampage the earth. her mother was enslaved by them. When she came into this world, she was literally born into slavery. Being born into slavery, her hair grew to be white, but the very tan skin of her father still showed on her. It reminded her mother of her father for many years, making it so that she knew she had something to believe in. Since she was very young, the only thing she had known was how to be a slave. She didnt know anything about her past or what future she could have. When the rebels were created, her mother split from her and went to join them. She wanted her daughter to join them, but she just couldnt. She didnt understand why people were fighting the way they were brought up. Yes it was terrible being a slave, but being brought up as a slave, she didnt know what else there was for her. Her water manipulation was the only thing she had that comforted her her entire life. To use it, it was like dancing with just her hands or even her entire body. It felt natural.

Soul reapers had taken the land and were deemed its new ruler since the slaughter of the spirit wolves. Like within any society there were various ranks and hierarchies that they followed, making them rather similar to humans in that respect. At the top of course was the leader followed by a commander, general, lieutenant, spies, regular foot soldiers, and finally those that were deemed useless in terms of fighting but used to keep humans in line. Each served a purpose and with a job well done each was rewarded in various ways. A servant, an increase in rank, or perhaps even the opportunity to brutally punish humans, either of them were suitable and welcomed to any soul reaper.


The higher ranks were obviously left to leading the armies, while the spies played a different sort of role. True that leadership was important as well as soldiers to fight, but it was the spies that could almost be deemed more valuable then even a general or lieutenant merely due to the fact they were the ones that gathered the information and occasionally did retrieval missions. To be a spy however was a job that required a bit more from a soldier as one mistake could end fatally and compromise the entire race depending on the situation. Lately rebels had begun to well up in discontent in various regions, so it was a time for the spy to really shine, rewards now for a good job usually ended with gaining a slave.



There was one in particular that had recently descended in the dark dungeons of the slave market to receive his prize, as well as deliver a few new and fresh faces to the mix. White hair and gray eyes with the traditional reaper garb made him relatively easy to spot, but there was an oddity with this one. He went by the name of Aiden Blade with the codename Fox, and unlike many of his other brethren he held a certain...personality that was rare among the soul reapers. As a spy he had done well, hence one of his reasonings for coming down. A sort of calmness could be glinted in his eyes, though the traditional cruelty could still be vaguely hinted if one truly looked the reaper in the eye. Still though if one were to ask his already servants on whom they preferred to have their master they spy was certainly up there in the numbers.


Gray eyes scanned to and fro, glancing over whom he desired to be his reward this time, all the while tugging on a chain behind him that were connected to a few other humans by a collar on their neck. Shackles adorned their feet and wrists as the trudged along, not wishing to fall behind, fall or anger the reaper in front of them. Some held a few cuts and bruises, some of the spy's own handy work for unruly behavior. It wasn't long however before another reaper came to relieve him of his burden and shuffle the slaves to be fully examined.


It was after the hand off that the reaper began to slowly make his way around the area, one hand resting calmly and casually upon the hilt of the sword that was strapped to his side. His gaze scanned the airborne cages, shaking his head at some while not even taking a second glance at others. He was particular about his servants, as he didn't desire a useless one that he would have to kill off in only a few days. The spy had heard of a girl in particular that another comrade recommended to him, as she had been the previous owner of the slave. When Aiden inquired he discovered that she held a rather...fascinating ability, but his comrade had grown bored with her and threw her back in the pens in only a few weeks time.



Roughly he had a mental image of her, based on the few detailed descriptions he had been given. Tan with white hair, and dark colored eyes, though his comrade never actually looked the girl much in the eye and so couldn't tell the exact color. She was young, only a child so there were indeed some things that she wouldn't be able to do that an older servant could. Regardless though he had different ideas for her anyways if what he heard was true. He continued to scan the cages before coming on the day's 'special catch' slaves. Within one he thought he could make out the various features he had been looking for. With a wave his hand he gestured one of the slaves at the cage's wheel to turn a lever to lower the cages. Obediently the servant went without a word, knowing well the denial would lead to death.


Slowly the cage began to lower until it was relatively level with the reaper, where he gestured for the servant to stop. The girl inside indeed fit the rather vague description he had been given, but then it was possibly that any human could technically fit the description as his comrade didn't quite have...the best of memory. "You girl...What do they call you by?" he ordered, his tone the unusual calm he was known for, however it still held the threat of punishment were his order disobeyed.





Name: Aiden Blade (Codename: Fox)
Age: 8,241 (yay 5 year difference)
Gender: Male
Position in Army: Spy
Powers: Aiden can shift his form into looking like a young human boy or humans that had been 'quietly taken care of' without the knowledge of the humans around him. He also controls a fast acting white flame that will burn away the remains of the victim's identity. Unfortunately he cannot permanently wash off the scent of blood, though only highly keen scents of smell would be able to catch it. He also can not stay in an unnatural form if a human knows that the person he's shifted into is deceased, or if his violent nature takes hold, which since he's a soul reaper can happen rather frequently. Also his flames are only fast acting on corpses, otherwise it's like normal fire that can easily be put out. He's rather skilled at swordsmanship as well so he has at least some offensive skill in case of true danger.
Bio: Aiden is one of the younger soul reapers that wasn't around during the extermination of the Spirit Wolves, a fact he curses since he couldn't be apart of the bloodshed. To make up for it though he has taken to rapidly hunting down humans and slaughtering them rather mercilessly, at least initially. He had a tendency of remaining surprisingly calm despite his rather violent natures, as well as his morphing powers, it was decided to train him in the ways of a spy. He was to only spy on various human groups to locate the whereabouts of any 'free' humans left, so as to enslave them and increase the number of humans slaves. He was to only kill them if they showed no promise of being a good slave, or if they resisted.

Again Aiden carefully looked her up and down. He was pleased that she seemed fairly obedient, but then he had just asked her name was all. It was very clear, if not from her stature, then from her voice that she was relatively young, a child still. It would be easier to obtain answers from her, unlike some older slaves who would try to avoid certain questions altogether. "How old are you Cora?" he asked, his tone still the neutral calm as he tested the name on his tongue. It wasn't bad sounding, easy to remember and one that he could indeed get use to calling. Of course there was one question that was truly burning in his mind, were the abilities he had heard true? It was rare for a human to have an elemental control at such a young age, and if trained right could prove rather useful. First though he needed to know a few of the basics. Her age would be able to give him some form of idea of how far along these possible powers were. Older slaves that held abilities, such as the one he heard about, could be rather dangerous though get them at a young age and trained they could save the life of their master and if that were the case Aiden would indeed have a sort of treasure on his hands and one that he would ensure to not only train but indeed take care of.

His methods were a bit more different then other reapers. Usually a reaper master would beat their slaves continuously until they were broken or dead, in order to strike fear in them. Aiden on the other hand, did punish his servants with beatings but usually only when he felt they were warranted. Because of this his servants had lasted much longer then even the leader's servants and proved a bit more loyal. Of course just because he took care of his slaves didn't mean he couldn't be cruel when needed. His servants both respected and feared him, but in a rather different way.

His gaze continued to scan the girl, though it was clear he was still listening to what she would say. She didn't appear too bad, as he knew there were some slaves on display that held injuries of broken bones, large gashes and bruises from the continual beatings they took. She looked lithe and fit enough for her age, and her face seemed soft to look at, what little he could really see of it. She held herself in the proper manner of a slave to one ranked higher, so there wouldn't be much training in that area from what he could tell.

Aiden heard the girl's reply though his gaze shot towards the reaper that spoke up. "True that age is of no relevance typically, however in this case it's an indicator of what to expect. I advise you remmeber that. Now in terms of her powers..." the reaper started as he first somewhat admonished the other reaper before he started to switch to a question that had been burning in his mind, though it was soon answered by the girl's actions. The act seemed more desperate to the spy rather than an attempt to escape. It did however confirm that this was indeed the girl he had been told about.

"It's fine...I'll take her. You can release her now, I doubt she'll run and if she does I'll deal with it understood?" the white haired reaper calmly ordered as his gaze once more returned to Cora. Yes she was indeed a rather fine catch although she was still relatively young. Once he took her back to his Haven he would be able to attest just what she would be capable. of, however it was clear that there would be a few things he would have to attend to first with her. He guessed from her actions that she was thirsty, though it was only a guess, and there was a chance that she was possibly hungry too.

(No Dying... I wont allow it :cry:)

(Lol sorry it took so long for a reply. :sweat:)

Again Aiden was rather pleased by the reactions of both the lower reapers and the girl once they unhooked her from the chains. Cora seemed to definitely know her place among the world of the reapers so he was rather pleased that he wouldn't have to teacher such a thing the hard way. Quietly he led the way, glancing back occasionally to ensure she was still following, and had noticed her somewhat slowed pace. He figured it had to have something to do with the treatment of her in the slave pens there, or at least that's what he attributed it to. Either way he was going to punish her for it and instead chose to slow his own pace slightly for her, plus it allowed him to keep a more watchful eye on her without gaining much notice.

"Tell me what is it you know how to do so I know best where to place you" he calmly stated. He figured it would be best to decide her place before he arrived to his Haven, after all putting her in a position that she didn't know how to do or couldn't do too well wouldn't be beneficial to either of them. He had caught the glances she was giving towards the other slave cages, but decided to by pass that fact for the moment.

(No dying. i know i was gone for a while but still)

Ok. Absolutley not going to die. But i have to wait for Arechi for that.

(Sorry, my kitchens sooo understaffed for the holiday season that I've been forced to come in extra. T.T Trying to type quickly too so as to get back to work. @[email protected] Sorry if it's not very good. >< :sweat:)

On of Aiden's eyebrows rose as he heard and somewhat saw the previously floating water crash to the ground as the girl was brought out of her daze. Quietly he listened to her explanation of what she could all do, rather pleased that she had included both domestic and power related abilities, it made it easier to get an idea of what he could assign her to do. 'Just a bit of training for this one it seems...But I suppose I'll have to personally see how well she can perform the other duties she listed' he thought, making a sort of mental note of what he would all need to inspect with her.

His calm gaze locked onto Cora though as she apologized saying that she wouldn't be of much use. "You're still a human child, and unlike my higher ups I'm rather aware of that fact. As long as you can perform at least some sort of domestic chore in the least that'll be enough for now. For your...powers you just need training is all to have that be useful. You'll find my household is ran a bit...differently then the ones you're perhaps use to. Unlike other patience is a requirement for me, and a requirement I exercise even within my home. I don't expect unrealistic results, just some form of improvement, which if you work hard you'll show" the reaper explained before returning his gaze ahead for a moment.

He could see his reaper sanctuary in the slight distance. Within a few moments walk they would be approaching the somewhat large doors and the security system that it employed. Servants that were working in the yard or around the area immediately came to cease what they were doing to bow towards their master, until the reaper gave the silent command to continue what they were doing with a nod of his head. He knew that he would need to pick a servant for his new servant girl to shadow at first, until she got use to the swing of things. There was one that he could think of that would perhaps be a suitable one, Rin. She was an older woman whom was in charge of the more basic cleaning, and cooking. Her knowledge though of various plants, animals and histories would perhaps serve the most useful to the young girl, although he knew that the older woman was sometimes considered rather...impatient. He knew that at some point in time he would have to talk to her, perhaps after he was situated in his home as it had been a little while since he had last been in it.
