Headcanons!
Hello Reapers! So I was thinking that before we get going with everything, maybe it'd be good to talk about the headcanons we have for all the reapers! Since we wanna make this more of an ongoing plot line type thing, it'd be good to know what everyone has in their head.
I'm especially curious about how all of you interpret the reaper world. Are reapers born that way? Do they have parents and siblings? Do they eventually die, themselves? What about those rumored "reaper crazies?" Or maybe they were all once mortal. What was their mortal life like? And what happened to them that won them a spot as a reaper after death? Or maybe you have something completely different in your head?
I'm eager to discuss this and see what you all think! Feel free to post up headcanons for any of the reapers, not only the one you're playing here! Then respond to other's ideas! I'd even love to hear your thoughts on our new German friends~

Eric sees Will and Grell as his future. William is emotionless and cold. Grell is twisted and crazy. He knows eventually he and the younger reapers will all be one or the other. Eric himself can't connect with the people he reaps. It's much too hard. He sees himself becoming colder and colder and colder as time goes on.
Then there's Alan.
Alan is gentle and kind and comforts the people he reaps. Eric can't. It's too hard. It hurts too much. It hurts Alan too, but Alan does it anyway. That's why Eric sees Alan as someone who is much stronger and better than himself.
And yes, Eric is deeply and helplessly in love.
He doesn't like his life. He doesn't like the future he sees for himself. He doesn't think that they're... good. But, Alan is. Alan is the only good thing in this life that seems to him like it has no end, and he'd do anything to keep Alan in the world.
