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.
- Combo Platter Powers: The Composer has this Up to Eleven, even by Worm standards. An incomplete list includes: Super-Strength, teleportation, Flight, pyrokinesis, projectiles, enhanced hearing, summoning the Noise and the ability to grant some of those powers to anyone via Power Tattoo. And of course, her Noelle Clone has all the same powers.
- Deadpan Snarker: 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.
- I Am Not Left-Handed: 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.
- The Leader: Type 4, Charismatic. She may not want to be the leader, but having founded the movement and being somewhat of a Magnetic Hero, people look up to her 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.
