Jason Reid | 21 | Shinigami

A shinigami in this world is someone who has "sinned" by taking their own life. As punishment, they are reborn as beings who hunt the souls of others without any real purpose. Their memories of their human life erased. If an "incomplete" shinigami should remember, they are doomed to fade away into nothing. Limbo basically.

As a human, Jason remembered two things- one; having a single friend in his life to scare away the shadows that threatened to swallow him, and suddenly having said friend ripped away from him when he became a teen. And two; constantly fighting to keep his nightmares at bay. Something happened one night after he had become and adult, and now he wondered the city collecting the souls of others as a shinigami. The thing is, he's her to collect a single soul.

There is a day where a shinigami is forced to remember bits of their past, but usually it only applies to complete shinigamis. Just as humans have birthdays to celebrate another year of being born, shinigami's have a date to remind them of their 'sin'. Their 'death-date' or the anniversary of when they died.

Every shinigami had a partner, at least one. Some had a small group of three, depending on the 'target'. Jason's partner was also his 'mentor' and Lea was currently searching the city Jason, who had disappeared again while the others were tracking those who had their names on a death list, her scythe hanging over her back like a bag. Why the number of names had suddenly increased, no one had a clue. They merely saw collecting souls as a job, nothing more. Most shinigami didn't have a shred of humanity left in them. Why should they? They themselves were no longer of the living. In two weeks that Jason had awoken as a shinigami, his humanity often got in way of his 'job', which is why he hasn't collected a single one yet.

Jason was standing on the roof of one of the many skyscrapers in the city, looking down at the city with dark crimson eyes. There were angels and shinigami's everywhere just about. Why couldn't be just focus on keeping the angels back, instead of taking ones life? Humans didn't ask to die, usually
