Name: Kate

Age: 22

Species: Human

Class: Reaper

Powers: Blue Mage Adept(Ice and Water Magic)

Shindig: Kate is smart, beautiful, and cunning, and she knows it. For whatever yet-to-be-explained reason, Kate was abducted from her home on Earth and brought to Hell to work as a Reaper. but being as adaptive as always, she has found a way to accept killing, reaping souls, and battling angels as "just another day on the job."

Name: Flare

Age: 3,201

Species: Denzien

Class: Reaper

Powers: Psychic, Red Wizard Master(Fire Magic)

Shindig: Flare might look like a human who stuck his head in a furnance, but in reality, he is a Denzien of Hell, a powerfully magic humanoid creature who can harness large amount of magical energy and the capabilities of psychic powers. He has mastered both, and is, as such, the #1 psychic in the entirety of Hell, which, in combination with his amazing fire magic, is his key to being on the Alpha Reaping Squad.

Name: Cookie

Age: 40-ish

Species: Human/Immortal* (*Granted Immortality, born human)

Class: Reaper

Powers: Super-Strength, Immortallity(drank Elixer of Imor)

Shindig: In his early twenties, a foolish John Cookings Signed away his soul to Lucifer to grant him Super-Human strength, as he had been born into a family of Hell-dwelling humans who worked as reapers for Lucifer and as such was on a Colliseum Team(more on that later on in the story.). Realizing his mistake, he used his super-human strength to search for and find one of the Magical Three Potions: the Elixer of Imol, which granted him immortality(or something like it: he can never die of natural causes). With both immortality and Super-strength to boot, he was gladly accepted by Lucifer into the Alpha Reaper Squad(Besides, if he couldn't have "Cookie"'s soul, he might as well use him as a reaper).

Name: Byron

Age: 5,000 ...ish

Species: Plaguelord

Class: Swarmer

Powers: Swarm(can turn into thousands of tiny plague-carrying insects)

Shindig: Byron is your typical lowlife Plaguelord. As such, he delights in nothing more than watching others write and squirm in pain and disease. Created over five thousand years ago along with all the other original plaguelords, Byron has grown to encompass no less than 3,000 different strains of disease and plague. He has a nasty personality and has been on ends with James from the very beginning. We'll see his true nature soon enough. Eep!
