The Reapers of Ebenmar
Near immortality is a gift... until it isn't. Minds fracture and wills can break even in a world where flesh is interchangeable with tech. That is when Reapers go to work. Those who can not handle forever are eliminated and their cores returned to the Maidens for repurposing, for the seeding of a new life, back to a semblance of the great cycle.
Scenario details
Tomb shaped structures reached to the heavily clouded sky. Red lights trailing up indications of the power provided by Ebenmar's central phasmatic generators. The wills of souls were held in these structures within the Graveyard sector. This is the aesthetic of this sector of 7. Deadcoded Athadians live in this sector, naturally paler or pitch synth-skinned with durable wills within their mind and core. A few walked the street modded bodies, metallic limbs and glow of energized tech implants. None deviating far from humanoid but each clearly no longer standard beings. Cruisers, high tech flying vehicles, flit above. The sidewalk and roads technology integrated in them releasing bursts of cooled air from the intricate machinery below.
Gyr is K1llKost's owner. Xindek Hasst Zero, 888 years, is boss of Gyr and all Reaper. Monad, 130 years old, is Grandmaiden of the Maidens of the Dead and daughter of Zero. Ember Crowe is the woman leading Ebenmar with a strong will and vision for her cities contnuation. Ember is married to Victor. Victor Crowe is an industrial corporation executive but soft hearted compared to Ember. Dansleif, over 600 years old, is the Overlord of Wardshire and is s tall thin fully mechanized Athadian who rule his Megalopolis with mechanized elitism.
Millenia ago technology reached a point where people of Ath began to integrate it with their long lived mortal flesh. Athadians learned to place their wills partially into cores. Flesh and bone interchangeable with metal and circuit. Immortality is not a gift that all can handle though when a psyche becomes too fractured or someone is judged too unstable they have Reapers sent after them. The Megalopolis Ebenmar is one of two in Ath and in it Graveyard sector where Deadcoded, Athadians who have an affinity for immortality and combat, live as Reapers or Maidens of the Dead. Few have gone full tech given bioengineering. People who still like using mostly flesh bodies grown or bioaugmented are called Biolifer. Ebenmar and Wardspire are enemies
Work as a Reaper killing and retrieving the cores of those who have fractured, succumbed to psychotic tendencies due to psychic dissonance with their cores, or become unstable mentally due to long life. Protect Ebenmar from terrorists groups or ill wishers like the rival city of Wardshire looking to wreck it.
