Reaper.
It’s a nickname that could be considered cool or incredibly cringe-worthy.
But if someone goes around calling themselves the Reaper… well, that’s just plain embarrassing.
Nicknames are meant to be given by others, not self-proclaimed—at least in martial arts stories.
[In the past, when I worked at ‘the Company’… I often encountered criminal profilers. They all had one thing in common to say.]
“What was it?”
[They said the scariest thing isn’t just a madman. It’s a madman with a conviction.]
And this Reaper wasn’t your run-of-the-mill lunatic. To call oneself the Reaper takes a special kind of crazy.
[The Reaper is currently a high-priority criminal under observation by the Player Association. His first crime occurred about a month and a half ago. It all began when a body was found with the Chinese character for ‘death’ (死) engraved on its forehead.]
