As the name suggests, Reapers are agents of Death, with the purpose of maintaining the natural order of Life and Death. They are often refered to as 'Children of Reaper' as their origins have a close tie with the Titan of Death, Reaper.
Their form often represents that of the planet or place they live or work in. For example, a Reaper that is positioned to gather souls of Humans will tend to have a human form. However, some may have some non-human features like wings, tails or animal ears. But their 2 defining features are their dark, raven hair with grey streaks and their dark blue eyes with bright Cyan pupils.
Reapers are divided into 5 classes: VIRTUES, POWERS, SCHOLARS, REVIVED, and DOMINIONS.
POWERS are Reapers that tendto enact the role of soul collectors or fighters of any corrupting energies that might affect souls. They have the ability to separate the souls of the bodies of living things and have the liberty to do so at will. Not only that, but they are essentially warriors and are known to be the strongest of the classes.
VIRTUES have the ability to heal others. Unlike the rest of the classes, most of the Virtues are able to grant boons to others the more powerful they become. They do not train under Reaper and the Scholars, but rather under Genesis, the Titan of Life. And they learn how to reverse their magic, granting them the power to heal or grant strength.
SCHOLARS are the ones in charge of gathering current and old archived information and investigating current events, or anything that might throw the balance of the soul cycle off. They also serve as Trainers of Powers and Revived and tend to be the helpful partners of Dominions.
REVIVED are beings that were revived by a dominion, they can be anything from Humans to other intelligent creatures. Really anyone who was once still alive that piqued the interest of a Dominion can be a Revived. They don't look all that differently from other Reapers, except for the fact that their eyes are the same color as when they were alive, and their arms and legs have black or gold gradients.
DOMINIONS are the second top authority within the Reaper society, only behind the Titan of Death, Reaper, and are in charge of overlooking everything. They are the most powerful of Reapers, and they can control and mold souls at their will.
They’re in charge of overlooking specific areas of the Hyperaverse and managing the order of things there. They are the only Reaper class that is allowed to control or interact with souls, other than Powers directly.
Each Dominions has a different epithet; Aloy is the Dominion of Rebirth, Elle is the Dominion of Beauty, Mathew is the Dominion of Freedom, Azrael, the Dominion of Order, Homura Miko the Dominion of Magic, Thanatos, the Dominion of Peace, and Irmin, the Dominion of Knowledge.
Within the 4 main classes, there are also Groups, that are assigned or related with certain dominions
THE PSYCHOPUMPS are a group of POWERS that work under Thanatos.
They enact the role of actually transporting souls to the Reaper's Realm. Their leader is a Revived called Kharon.
THE INVESTIGATORS or often called AGENTS, are a group of POWERS, SCHOLARS and VIRTUES that work under the Dominion Matthew. Their job is to essecially scout the Realms for any suspecious activity that might endanger citizens. Valeria is part of this Group, and their leader is a REVIVED called Ruby
THE COVEN is a group of VIRTUES that work under Homura, and are trained to be exorcists in order to banish and sooth Wraiths and Eidolons enought to be harvested. They are the only group of VIRTUES capable of doing so, as it's generaly a POWERS job to do so.
THE CHOIR is a group of Angels that follow the Angel of Death, Azrael, and enach his will across the cosmos. Little is known about them as they keep to themselves, but the most known is the angel Evander, right-hand man of the Dominion Azrael. Their leader is a POWERS called Evander.
