Line #43 Characters/Synesthesia


1	!The Reapers
2	!!In general:
3	* AbnormalAmmo: The Reapers' new guns fire non-lethal bullets made from compressed psycho-reactive spray-paint.
4	* ArtAttacker: The Reapers' main way to fight, using spray paint to turn themselves into HalfHumanHybrid or by summoning music-themed monsters.
5	%%* ArtInitiatesLife: From spray paint to Noises.
6	%%* BadassCreed: "We will not let our freedom be handed to us. We will reap it ourselves."
7	%%* BadassCrew: The Reapers in general are just regular people empowered by the Compser's powers, but damn if they kick ass!
8	* EmpoweredBadassNormal: 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.
9	* LargeHam: 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.
10	%%* RebelliousSpirit: The whole group is this, being people whose sole common point is a beef against society.
11	* 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 [=DJs=] and Chicago comes from the place.
12	%%* PowerTattoo: How it's done.
13	* RankScalesWithAsskicking: The higher-ranking Reapers have stronger PowerTattoos.
14	* ThemeNaming: Every Reaper is named after music.
15	%%* TrueCompanions: the Reapers are this. Even an Endbringer attack won't stop them from supporting their boss.
16	%%* {{Ubermensch}}: One needs only to look at their BadassCreed to know that this is them.
17	%%* UnderestimatingBadassery: Frequently "victims" of it, due to being a band of rebellious non-powered street artists.
18
19	!!Taylor Hebert/The Composer/Acoustic
20	Our favorite Bug Girl, this time having triggered with the powers of The Composer from TWEWY. The founder and - reluctant - leader of the Reapers.
21	----
22	* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: by virtue of being the most powerful Reaper thanks to ComboPlatterPowers and the founder of the movement, she is the de-facto leader of the Reapers.
23	* BenevolentBoss: 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.
24	%%* ClassyCane: spots one during her meeting with Armsmaster at the party.
25	* ComboPlatterPowers: The Composer has this Up to Eleven, even by Worm standards. An incomplete list includes: SuperStrength, {{teleportation}}, {{Flight}}, [[PlayingWithFire pyrokinesis]], [[HandBlast projectiles]], [[SuperSenses enhanced hearing]], [[SummonMagic summoning the Noise]] and [[SuperEmpowering the ability to grant some of those powers to anyone]] via Power Tattoo. [[spoiler:And of course, her Noelle Clone has all the same powers.]]
26	* DeadpanSnarker: Has to deal with the mayhem a large group of free-thinking rebels can cause. And that's without the condescending behavior of the other gangs.
27	* IAmNotLeftHanded: Holds back her abilities to the point that Dinah estimates that Coil has a barely over 5% chance of taking her down if she went all out.
28	* TheLeader: Type 4, Charismatic. She may not want to be the leader, but having founded the movement and being somewhat of a MagneticHero, people look up to her regardless.
29	%%* MagneticHero: To the point that until Tattletale cleared her, she honestly worried that she might be unknowingly Mastering them.
30	* SuperEmpowering: 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.
31	* SuperSenses: Has enhanced hearing.
32
33	!!Aisha Laborn/Gangsta
34	Brian's little sister and a rising member of the Reapers, whose dedication quickly gets the Composer's attention.
35	----
36	* AnimalMotifs: Ravens. Her signature Noise is a Decadraven and the Composer later gives her a Cornix Canor for her loyalty.
37	%%* SecretKeeper: For Taylor, about being both Acoustic and the Composer.
38	%%* UndyingLoyalty: to the Reapers.
39
40	%%!!Pierce Jackson/Chicago Blue
41	%%* TheCracker: Used to be this before leaving to Brockton Bay. He is still very good at it.
42	%%* KnowledgeBroker: Fulfills this role to the Reapers.
43	%%* MrExposition: can come across as this.
44	%%* TheSmartGuy
45
46	!!Chief Engineer Lithe/Grunge
47	* {{BFG}}: While most Reapers get regular Tinker-made guns, he is handed a grenade launcher.
48	* TheBigGuy: The largest, most muscular member of the Reapers.
49	* FriendOnTheForce: Is actually a PRT agent along with being a Reaper. He doesn't see a problem to belonging to both groups.
50	%%* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Tries to be this to the Reapers... with ''very'' mitigated results.
51
52	%%!!Hip and Hop
53	%%* BrotherSisterTeam: Always fight together.
54	%%* HalfIdenticalTwins: Hip is the girl. Hop is the boy.
55	%%* KleptomaniacHero: Hip and Hop have rather...sticky fingers.
56	%%--> That’s that! I’d say we’re done here. Gangsta, Chicago, Grunge, South, let’s bounce. Hip, Hop, give back the silverware.
57	%%* ParentalAbuse: Implied, if Hop's comment in Allegro 7 is anything to go by.
58	%%-->'''Hip''': They weren't ''actively'' trying to kill us.\
59	%%'''Hop''': Could have fooled me...
60	%%* StickyFingers: Have these.
61	%%* StreetUrchin: Before joining the Reapers. They may still be.
62	%%* TricksterTwins: Goes with being a pair of prepubescent pranksters.
63
64	%%!!Samuel Hardy/Southern
65	%%* TheBartender
66	%%* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Anarcho's weapon for him in Sonata 10.
67
68	!!Synth and Chiptune
69	* BuccaneerBroadcaster: They host the Reaper's Review, an illegal broadcast used by the Reapers as entertainment and to pass messages to the group.
70	%%* LargeHam: The main providers of hammtastic goodness in the story.
71	* MundaneUtility: Use their Canor bats to broadcast audio waves.
72	* ShoutOut: Their introducing the Reaper Review sounds a lot like DJ Professor K from [[VideoGame/JetSetRadio Jet Set Radio Future]].
73
74	!!Psychedelic
75	* FlashyTeleportation: His teleporting creates a burst of fire.
76	%%* MoreDakka: His Noise-firing [=AK47=].
77	* PlayingWithFire: His teleporting creates a burst of fire.
78	* PsychoPrototype: Averted. The Composer gave him a can of experimental Noise that messed with his brain, but he is very quiet and very loyal.
79	%%* TheStoic
80
81	!!Anarcho
82	* TheLastDance: 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.
83	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: 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.
