| The Reaper race are a race that eat those that deserve to go to hell. (Not like the succubi in hell who eat the souls there) Their stomaches are a portal to Hell itself. Some of them are stationed in heaven where they await those sentanced to hell there, others hunt wicked beings in the lands of Felarya. As they go down their throats, they are reminded of their wicked deeds until they enter their stomaches.
If anyone has any more ideas, feel free to say them. Thanks for the help Gwadahunter2222

| Well, both hell and heaven have psychopomps - reapers of souls either angelic or demonic, that have the job of taking souls (of the deceased) to the afterlife they're judged to belong in.
So are these you're describing supposed to target beings in life or something? If so then I don't think that would work. | |

No, I was thinking the dead people...their souls that wonder around Felarya. | |

| Well, here's what there already is on the subject.

"Finally, both Heaven and Hell have psychopomps. They are low-ranking Angels and Demons who act as guides to bring souls to their respective realm. They are often the working class of Heaven and Hell, and they do much of the hard work that keep their realms populated with souls. These beings appear as Angels of Death, Shinigamis, Valkyries, etc, and take various forms depending on the culture of the person they've come to collect." | |

| what kind of guide would best suit felarya though? we have to remember that felarya isn't earth... but of course we probably shouldn't focus on vore to the point of where it sounds like we're doing so. frankly the reaper race eating dead souls kind of sounds like that, but at the same time just having angels that escort the sentenced souls sounds a bit "average" if you know what i mean.
would it be possible to find a medium? | |

would it be possible to find a medium? The reapers don't seem to have vorish qualities and I don't see why they would. They just bring the souls and take them to where they're supposed to be. Their appearance seems to depend on the beliefs of the soul in question they're there to take. | |

| As Felarya's eminent and rising afterlife specialist I'll take this. The Reaper race would not be a race. They would be a normal psychopomps for a specific religion that believes that's the thing that sends you to Hell or Heaven. That's probably the religion system that Elle uses. xP
In the same capacity, if a group of people believe that they get taken up to heaven on a living carpet of neeras, that's what the angel would use. If they believe it's a skeleton with a hood and a scythe and a pale horse. Guess what? That's what the angel shows up as.
Now, this next bit is important to remember. There are a lot more people dying on Felarya than there are angels, let alone angels whose jobs it is to escort people to Heaven. Same goes for Hell. This means many, maybe even most souls don't leave Felarya, and fall prey to the spiritual predators like ghosts. Or they become ghosts themselves and prey on other spirits or even living creatures.
Another thing to think about, if the angels and devils aren't in Heaven and Hell all the time, how do they get sustenance? The answer I've come up with is that the angels (or demon) will first find a soul without a body, and change it's appearance appropriately to the souls beliefs. The angel then leads the soul, forcibly if needed, to Heaven or Hell. Upon dropping them off at the correct religion region, they are 'paid' by the 'God' of the region in positive energy. Or negative if need be. In this way, an extremely skillful angel or demon can gather energy and get promoted from being a psychopomp.
Now, many unscrupulous angels or demons who can't seem to find any souls without bodies will attack and kill someone to take their soul. Now they can get in a lot of trouble for this, but a sneaky angel, or more commonly demon, can gather lots of energy quickly using this technique. | |

| Well, I never was too keen on the whole thing of souls and trafficking.
That's why I can't stand succubi. They eat so many people they gotta lead them to their stomach with road signs lest they suffer people crashing into eachother, and if someone doesn't belong there, it's a literal hell.
I know it's kinda the point, but that doesn't stop it from irking me. | |
