The Reapers

In general:

  • Abnormal Ammo: The Reapers' new guns fire non-lethal bullets made from compressed psycho-reactive spray-paint.
  • Art Attacker: The Reapers' main way to fight, using spray paint to turn themselves into Half-Human Hybrid or by summoning music-themed monsters.
  • Empowered Badass Normal: With the rare exception of The Composer, Lady Freestyle and the Travelers who joined the Reapers, most of the gang is made of people who were empowered by the Composer.
  • Large Ham: Being a group of artists and performers of various backgrounds and horizons, the Reapers really know how to ham things up. Gangsta, Synth, Chiptune and the Composer especially stand out.
  • Meaningful Name: None of the names are given at random. The Composer is the leader of the Reapers and composes the Noises and Melodies, Southern is a former pig farmer from Texas, Grunge is a no-nonsense PRT officer, Gangsta is a black teenage rebel, Psychedelic has a few screws loose, Synth and Chiptune are DJs and Chicago comes from the place.

Taylor Hebert/The Composer/Acoustic

Our favorite Bug Girl, this time having triggered with the powers of The Composer from TWEWY. The founder and - reluctant - leader of the Reapers.
  • Asskicking Leads to Leadership: by virtue of being the most powerful Reaper thanks to Combo Platter Powers and the founder of the movement, she is the de-facto leader of the Reapers.
  • Benevolent Boss: As the Composer, she keeps claiming she's not the boss of the Reapers. They don't tend to listen and treat her as one regardless.
  • Super-Empowering: The Composer gives Aisha/Gangsta a Cornix Canor tattoo on her back that lets her summon one at will. More generally, the Composer does this for all the Reapers to some extent.
  • Super-Senses: Has enhanced hearing.

Aisha Laborn/Gangsta

Brian's little sister and a rising member of the Reapers, whose dedication quickly gets the Composer's attention.
  • Animal Motifs: Ravens. Her signature Noise is a Decadraven and the Composer later gives her a Cornix Canor for her loyalty.

Chief Engineer Lithe/Grunge

  • BFG: While most Reapers get regular Tinker-made guns, he is handed a grenade launcher.
  • The Big Guy: The largest, most muscular member of the Reapers.
  • Friend on the Force: Is actually a PRT agent along with being a Reaper. He doesn't see a problem to belonging to both groups.

Synth and Chiptune

  • Buccaneer Broadcaster: They host the Reaper's Review, an illegal broadcast used by the Reapers as entertainment and to pass messages to the group.

Psychedelic

  • Playing with Fire: His teleporting creates a burst of fire.
  • Psycho Prototype: Averted. The Composer gave him a can of experimental Noise that messed with his brain, but he is very quiet and very loyal.

Anarcho

  • The Last Dance: His stated reason for joining the Reapers was that he was getting old and felt like joining a gang since it is the "in" thing to do these days.
  • Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Averted since he is secretly the uncle of Dodge, a Tinker specializing in pocket dimensions, giving him a powerful connection to the Tinker group Toybox, but the only time it's brought up is when he has his nephew send a case of guns to the reapers.
