Wraith ”Looks like you’ve seen a ghost.”
It’s not entirely clear to what exactly Reaper is thanks to the limited information Blizzard has released about their character, but given what we know of the lore of Overwatch and the science that exists within it, it’s easy to put the pieces together. Reaper was brought back to life by scientific means, and whatever procedure that was conducted on his body simply went wrong, and has caused his body to become something twisted and out of human shape. While it’s unknown what his face looks like, it’s clear from the comic, the game, and even the animated shorts that he can turn his body into a gaseous cloud--speculated to be a cloud of nanomachines that keep his body regenerating from its constant degeneration--and into human form again. He can travel distances unnoticed by taking this form, as well as avoid taking damage from enemy attacks. His speed is also greatly increased in this form and he can slip between the cracks and get into places one normally wouldn’t be able to.
Reaping ”The few bodies recovered of his victims were pale, empty husks drained of life, their cells showing signs of intense degradation.”
While it’s not entirely clear what Reaper’s body is--science or supernatural--if there’s one thing that’s clear it’s that he can drain the life from those he defeats in battle. Leaving lifeless husks of those who die in battle against him, he takes on their energy for his own, referring to the energy as the ‘souls’ of the fallen. Though, whether or not the energy he takes is actually a person’s soul or just that he can steal the remaining vitality from fresh corpses is uncertain, it’s at least clear that he takes energy from the bodies of the dead.
Shadow Step ”From the shadows.”
Relating back to Reaper’s Wraith form, his Shadow Step ability allows him to move from one place to another with relative ease. However, this ability is limited to its short range and is restricted to Reaper’s line of sight. For example, he could use this ability to ‘teleport’ to the top of a building as this can be within his line of sight. However, if his destination is for example, behind a door or wall, he cannot simply teleport inside a building because his destination isn’t one he can see.
Active Regeneration ”That which doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.”
Hard to kill what’s already dead, isn’t it? Even harder when what you’re trying to kill doesn’t exactly have a body that’s always tangible enough to shoot down with bullets or even destroy with a Tesla Cannon. In the short ‘Recall’, Reaper is literally obliterated by a high-energy electric cannon and comes back later without a scratch. His body turning into a cloud when he sustains enough damage to literally explode, he survives and regenerates later, suggesting that it’s harder to kill him then one might think. He is a ghost, after all.
Job: ......He's a gossip column writer with Sombra. I'm not making this shit up.
Handwaved CR: Absolutely. Please just hit me up if you have anything you want to discuss handwaving. Likes: Killing things. Weaponry. Fighting. Sewing. Gardening. Designing. Seriously. Dislikes: Eating, being reminded that he's dead, stupid questions about him being dead. The vacuum of space. Tesla Cannons. EMPs. Hangouts: Mostly in his quarters, but he can also be found floating around when he needs to exact 'nutrients' from things in order to keep himself from degenerating too much. CR wanted: Negative CR is a given with this character, I'm sorry. He's not a neurotypical person, and getting along with him is going to be hard. Unless you have opinions and thoughts that could sympathise with his own, that is. I'm completely willing to have him try to make friends, sure--but please be warned that it'll be an uphill struggle. He's grumpy, usually always in pain, and well. Dead. Anything Else:
