Red Reaper 1

Born under a crimson eclipse to a family of textile dyers, the man who would become known as the Red Reaper was cursed the moment his first breath mingled with dye-laden air—a chemical reaction that permanently stained his skin and hair the color of dried blood. Shunned by his village for his unsettling appearance, he wandered into the Withered Marshes seeking solitude, where he discovered an ancient scythe half-buried in peat, its blade still gleaming despite centuries of abandonment. The weapon seemed to recognize him, resonating with a frequency only he could hear, and whispered secrets of the souls it had reaped in ages past. Desperate for purpose and acceptance, he accepted the scythe's dark bargain, becoming its new wielder and guardian of the threshold between life and death. Now he walks the borderlands between the living and the dead, neither fully belonging to either world, collecting debts owed to fate and ensuring that those who cheat death face inevitable consequence. The red that marks his body is no longer a curse but a warning—a beacon visible across the veil itself—and those who see him coming know their time has finally arrived.
