Vigilante!Reaper [Neutral Evil]
Based on Ravens.
His design may be revised later, and more stuff may be added to his lore.
So do expect this to be edited later on
Reaper isn't really a hero or villain. He's a vigilante, a double-edged sword, if you will. He follows his own set of rules. He is more aligned with heroes most times, but he does help villains. His alliances are purely for his gain and to push his personal goal forward, whatever it takes to reach that. He has a strong dislike for those in power, especially when they abuse that power. He takes justice into his own hands, punishing those who are corrupt in power. He is not afraid to get his hands dirty. He's killed before and will do it again if he has to.
Reaper wears a black body suit and a black cape. The little cape pin with the rope is in the shape of a bird skull. The shadow over his eyes stays even if his hood isn't up. This shadow is gone when he's just a normal civilian. His cape is used as a cloak to mimic the grim reaper, wanting to intimidate his targets. He feels no remorse for his targets. He could care less about them.
He rarely speaks when he's out as a vigilante, sometimes saying something to whoever he's decided to teamed up with or who his target is. His targets are corrupt people in power, and he'll do anything to deliver justice, ANYTHING. Reaper currently has no stable alliances.
His powers/weapons + weaknesses/limits:
He can levitate, mostly doing it at home or when he's out in as a vigilante. He can get a couple of feet off the ground. Sometimes, he flaps his wings to mimic flying(his wings are too small to actually fly with). He barely uses this outside his house or when he's alone at work. This also applies to objects. He can make them levitate, but he has no control over what it is, and they're usually not very big.
Like original Reaper, he has the death touch, but it's much less powerful. It can kill plants and bugs, sometimes small birds, but never a person, and it's a conscious thing he has to do. He mostly uses this power for intimidation.
His main weapon is a scythe, though it's rather big and heavy, so it weighs him down a bit. This can be exploited to slow him down with sharp corners and small claustrophobic paths/tunnels. The scythe has a raven skull, up by the blade part, with a little lantern that has a light blue flame in it.
Can teleport, but it has a cool down. This cool down is dependent on how far he's teleporting. The farther he goes, the longer the cool down. It also just takes energy for him to do that, so he tries not to teleport often. He can teleport with other beings, but that takes even more energy, so he just doesn't do that.
Now, with Gaster Blasters, he has them, but he doesn't ever use them. He never summons any that are big, but rather, making them small and only using them to fetch things for him at work or home, they take energy to make, like all of his magic does.
Phobias & Disorders:
Reaper is an insomniac, so he is extremely exhausted. This intern will slow his movements and make him less vigilant, meaning his hunts for his targets can stretch on longer than he'd like. He ends up really tired and sleepy.
He has emetophobia(fear of throwing up), Trypanophobia(fear of needles), Nosocomephobia(fear of hospitals), Tomophobia(fear of medical procedures/surgery), and Atychiphobia(fear of failure). Reaper can deal with his fears most of the time as he's rarely in those situations, but he avoids hospitals like the plague.
Traits, Habits, and Other Random Things:
Remorseless to targets: He has no remorse for his targets. Killing isn't his main goal, but he will do it and won't feel bad about it if it happens. He doesn't care how scared his targets are. If anything, he likes it.
Lying: He isn't one to shy away from lying. He will usually lie to get information he wants. While the feelings of others aren't something he'd normally take into consideration, if he's close to someone or actually likes someone and knows something that'd hurt them, he'd lie to protect their feelings.
Flirty: Reaper is a bit of a flirt. He usually keeps his cool as he is almost never into who he's flirting with or being flirted at. It's all for manipulation. But stars forbid he's into who he's flirting with. He immediately becomes an incoherent idiot who forgot the pickup line and ability to flirt, but he still tries to be confident. (Ex: Starts pick-up line, tries to lean on the wall, misses wall and falls face first onto floor, turns and does finger gun, forgets rest of pick-up line)
Collector: He has small collections for random things, all organized in a very certain way. He has a small bone collection, sticker collection, and a collection for books he has in his living room. He likes everything to be clean and organized. Everything has a place to be.
Reaper talks to himself all the time, especially at work, sometimes even to the bodies he's dealing with, saying what's on his mind or acting like him and the body are having a whole conversation together. Another thing he'll do is tap/drum his fingers on something to the tune of a song he's listening to or thinking of at that time, or it's one he just made up.
He calls his home his "realm," so sometimes he'll use the excuse of "I'm tending to my realm" not to call/text someone. He forgets not everyone knows what he's referring to, so sometimes when he says, "Welp, time to head back to my realm," he'll get weird looks. He also will sometimes refer to other living beings as "souls."
Civilian Life & Past:
Reaper is a young adult and is bisexual. He had found out when he was 15 years old, suddenly so much made sense to him.
In his civilian life, Reaper lives in an apartment on the 2nd floor. He works as a mortician/undertaker, sometimes volunteering for the graveyard shift at a cemetery nearby where he lives and works. When he's not at work or home, he'll spend his time at a café, coffee is his addiction. In his civilian identity, his eyesockets are dead empty with eyebags. He usually wears a hoodie with sweatpants. He has black raven wings on his back, the wings aren't that big, they're actually pretty small, but he does make sure that they're well taken care of. He is currently trying to gain the trust of a cat that lives in the alleyway of his apartment complex. He wants to adopt her, he's named her "Eve" and already has stuff bought for her.
His social life is currently pretty empty. He doesn't really like people all that much. He was often excluded from things when he was younger, which probably influenced his introverted tendencies. He is still in contact with his brother and father. He lives in a different city, so he barely sees them, but he considers them to be the people closest to him and always thinks of them fondly. Another he has contact with is a woman he refers to as "Lady Life" or "Tori", she calls him "Mister Death" since he calls her Lady Life. He met her a few years back and has kept in contact with her, he doesn't live too far from her and sometimes visits her garden, he enjoys her company and she tells him about the plants she tending to. He has a book on plants so he can know more and talk about them to her. Tori also gossips with him. She's the one mainly gossiping, Reaper has no idea who any of the people she's talking about are, but he's always interested in it, especially with what's going between her and her ex-husband. He has met her kids on a few occasions, but they just know him as "Mom's friend."
When he was younger, his father was barely home. His dad was always out working as a scientist for terrible pay. His employers exploited him for more work with less pay and threatened to fire him if he tried to go against it. He had blackmail over him that stressed him out so much. Most of Reaper's memories regarding his father were of him standing in the doorway of his father's study, staring at his father, who was sitting at the desk trying to figure out how to get the blackmailer to stop and hopefully improve life for his two kids. He always wondered how this happened and why nobody did anything. The police were informed but threw the case out almost immediately. Reaper was so upset about it. Why was this happening? Reaper didn't understand. When he got older, he eventually found out the full extent of what, and that was what paved his path to becoming a vigilante.
In school, he was often alienated by his classmates. He never really understood why, and they never had a good answer. He did try to make friends but almost always failed miserably. He gave up after a while when it stopped working. He started to focus on his work rather than making any friends.
Relationships( so far):
RT!Gaster -> Father
RT!Papyrus -> Brother
RT!Toriel( aka Tori/Lady Life) -> (Best?)Friend
RT!Frisk, Chara, & Asriel -> Tori's kids(<- his view of them) / Mom's friend(<- their view of him)

I did the drabble for Life's end:
Life was used to Death's presence, he was her counterpart in the Balance after all, and while her initial impression of him was rather... harsh, he has come to be a dear friend to her. Once she got over herself amd realized that he wasn't an abomination created specifically for her own suffering. They even had very nearly courted, had it not been for the incident that had left her on the wring end of a stolen scythe and the resulting rampage Sans had gone through as a result of losing his only true friend aside from his brother.
They've gotten over it for the most part, especially once other members of the Balance started popping up and causing their own chaos as they tried to figure themselves and their roles out. Sans had taken on the name of Reaper and his brother Grim, to help with the confusion of suddenly an entire muliverswz of Sanses running amuck, and Life had chosen to follow her friends lead. She is the embodiment of Life itself afterall, jsut as Reaper is the embodiment of Death, although, she'd understand why her friend wishes to no go by that moniker, and Reaper has started visiting her garden once more.
Now, Reaper is alway careful with her plants. He floats everywhere and avoided even touching one whenever he could, often moving into some rather awkward positions to avoid accidentally grazing the foliage. And Life will always be welcoming to Reaper's visit, being the lonely old goat she is and having a similar sense of humor to her friend, the two could waste eons away just simply chatting and telling jokes to one another. But if there's one thing she had to dislike about her friend's visit... it's his wings.
Don't get her wrong, Reaper's wings are very pretty in her opinion. They aren't quite pitch black but rather the feathers have a iridescent sheen of blues and greens reflecting off the dark feathers, like a raven or a crows. Not to mention their size! Even amongst gods, they're an impressive size! The problem... is that Reaper never bothers to take care of them!
She can count on one paw how many times she has seen the other god's wings in their true glory without being steeped in so much blood, dirt, and dust that their colors have faded to a muted gray with patches of rust from the sheer amound of dust and dried blood clinging to them! And that doesn't even get into how raggedy and unkempt his feathers are! If the skeleton hadn't been able to float on his own power, he'd never be able to fly! And that doesn't even get into the fact that every time he twitches a wing or absent-mindedly itches at his feathers, a cloud of dust amd feathers spread from them onto her garden! Life was willing to put up with the annoyance with only mild annoyance. She knew that with his busy schedule, one only marginally corrected when she'd threatened her ex husband for his treatment of the reaper brothers and refusal to give them a single day to themselves after the Incident before locking herself once more within her Garden, he rarely had time to do proper maintenance and grooming.
But the last straw happened when she noticed fresh blood on her chrysanthemums!
With a scowl, she stomped over to where her friend was floating and grabbed him by the back of his cloak, cuasing Reaper to let out a yelp as she dragged him over to a fresh stream and bodily through him in. Reaper squawked as he splashed about in and attempt to reorient himself,
"Life, what the hell-"
"You are going to wash all the blood and dust out of those feathers right now, Reaper! And then you will wit upong this rock and let me fix that mess of a plumage you call wings!"
"What?" Reaper stared at her in shock, looking quite ridiculous soaking wet and slouched over in the stream. Like a drowned rat.
"I have been patient thus far, my friend, however even I have my limits. You're wings are so dust covered I cannot even tell what color they are supposed to be and just now I found fresh blood on my flowers!"
"You... threw me in the pond... because my wings are dirty?" Reaper continued to gawk at her before busting out laughing,
"Jeez, Tori! You could just told me to clean up!"
"Would you have done it, my friend?" Life gave him her best Mom Look, knowing the answer.
"Uh- maybe when I had time... and if Grim wasn't busy..." Reaper muttered, avoiding her gaze. Life gave an amused huff,
"Come, I will help with the places you cannot reach."
THEY DIDDDDD!
I SWEAR I WASNT IGNORING YOU—
I was just hoarding your work to myself fhjsbfjsndn so heckin cute I’ve read it like five times now—
I LOVE the description of his wings, the idea of a slight blue/green shimmer like a raven AHHH. So prettyyy. And I never even considered the fact that he’d have monster dust and the like all over them! God what a great detail that’s so cool. Just imagining on the worst days he looks like his wings got dusty or something, flapping them to poof it all off, and Geno had to ban him from doing that in the Save Screen cuz that’s DISGUSTING REAPER WTF.
