[[folder:The Reapers]]

* {{Abnormal Ammo}}: The Reapers' new guns fire non-lethal bullets made from compressed psycho-reactive spray-paint.

** ArtInitiatesLife: From spray paint to Noises.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The higher-ranking Reapers have stronger PowerTattoos.
* BadassCreed: "We will not let our freedom be handed to us. We will reap it ourselves."
* BadassCrew: The Reapers in general are just regular people empowered by the Compser's powers, but damn if they kick ass!
** UnderestimatingBadassery: Frequently "victims" of it, due to being a band of rebellious non-powered street artists.
* CoolGun: Thanks to Anarcho, the Reapers get Tinker-upgraded Noise-shooting paint-guns in Sonata 10, with The Composer and her lieutenants getting personalized custom models. Namely, Gangsta gets a Desert Eagle, Psychedelic gets an [=AK47=], Hip and Hop gets twin uzis and the Composer gets the brand new, latest edition P90 Assault Rifle.

** PowerTattoo: How it's done.
* LargeHam: ''OOH. BOY.'' 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.
* RebelliousSpirit: The whole group is this, being people whose sole common point is a beef against society.

** MeaningfulName: 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 D Js and Chicago comes from the place.

* {{Ubermensch}}: One needs only to look at their BadassCreed to know that this is them.

* ClassyCane: spots one during her meeting with Armsmaster at the party.

* BrotherSisterTeam: Always fight together.
* HalfIdenticalTwins: Hip is the girl. Hop is the boy.
* KleptomaniacHero: Hip and Hop have rather...sticky fingers.
** “That’s that! I’d say we’re done here. Gangsta, Chicago, Grunge, South, let’s bounce. Hip, Hop, give back the silverware.”
* ParentalAbuse: Implied, if Hop's comment in Allegro 7 is anything to go by.

-->'''Hop''': "Could have fooled me...
