Proxies

Proxies are powerful, but mindless or mindful people or entity that serves the Reaper and the Black Father and either willingly or unintentionally. Most proxies are controlled by the Reaper and are brainwashed while being controlled. Those who are not controlled by the Reaper and are not brainwashed are usually either willing to serve them or they are powerful enough to not be brainwashed and are the most trusted. Most proxies are humans, but some are even creatures or aliens. The Reaper looks for a specific quality in each person to become a proxy. That quality is usually what makes a human powerful. For example, like one of his proxies, Freddy Lee (Grin Reaper). Fred is powerful because he's a psychopath, which he's good at lying, intelligent, charismatic, and powerful. Freddy even has a superhuman ability of mentally hacking things and superhuman hearing as well. But it doesn't always have to be traits like Grin Reaper. It's just what makes a human powerful, worthy, and unique from everyone else in the world. Usually, they're marked with the Reaper's symbol.
== Characteristics ==
Depending on who it may be, proxies are powerful and can be mind-controlled by the Reaper. They can also be brainwashed depending how powerful they are. If they're weak, then they will be controlled and brainwashed by the Reaper. But if it's a powerful entity or monster per se, like David Kim or David Lee or Deadman Daniel or Champ or etc., then they can't be easily controlled as normal human serial killers and other weak proxies. But either way, both characteristics of proxies have an alternate personality of being sadistic and emotionless. If a proxy is deemed useless and proves no worth and quality to the Reaper, then they will be destroyed and killed.
== Origins ==
As we know, most proxies were innocent long before they become sadistic. The Reaper is the Slenderman's older brother, and that is why Slenderman also has proxies as well. Although according to Slender, the Reaper was the one that created proxies before Slenderman. The Reaper, much like Slender, is a monster that communicates and talks with people through the mind and even understands their wants and needs. These beings Reaper chose might've been people who were interested in the Reaper or was willing to serve the Reaper. Some of these beings also had a dark past that the Reaper use to manipulate them to becoming a proxy. Others had qualities and supernatural abilities that impressed the Reaper and therefore, Reaper manipulates them as well. Others just had the destiny of becoming one long before they were born. And some were once a part of the Madman's Organization, the Outbreak, being called, "escaped demons".
== Behavior and Personality ==
Stated before, proxies are usually innocent beings that most of them are brainwashed and controlled by the Reaper. Some are too powerful to be controlled and are aware of their actions, but they try hard not to serve the Reaper. While others who are not controlled or brainwashed are just evil in general. But in their alternate personality they are sadistic and have no feelings whatsoever. And if not, they have feelings but can't stop themselves. Proxies from K.O.T.S are more misanthropic from the Reaper's manipulating words. The Executioner from K.O.T.S is indeed misanthropic, but more narcissistic. Proxies from the Criptic are just powerful entities from out of Nearth and disguise themselves as everyday humans. So, the Criptic's proxies can have any feelings or personality. Although, the proxies of the Criptic have a different tactic to their targets. They generally hack into their victims' devices and accounts and send videos to torture them. And until their victims go insane, being unable to keep up with reality, they attack and kill their targets.

== Not Proxies ==
There is always a common misconception in every ARG's or comics on who's proxies, just because they're also enemies of that story. Proxies are people who serves and does the Reaper's biddings, whether they're brainwashed and mind controlled or not. But these people are not proxies, due to the fact that they don't serve the Reaper nor have any symptoms of being one. Here are some people who aren't proxies:
- Troy Martin
- Carlos Martinez
- Jason Watson
- Damien John
- Ian MacGregor (While Ian was formerly a proxy, he isn't anymore. And that's important to note.)
- Max Lawson (It's important to note that Max Lawson isn't a proxy. People only assume this, because he sees a vision in the mirror of himself, but evil and deadly looking, with the Reaper behind him. This was just a vision to intimidate Max. And plus, Max Lawson is a man of good will, and he has a strong belief in Jesus which makes it impossible for the Reaper to take control of him.)
- The Reality (The Reality is a cult that worships the Reaper, although they don't directly serve the Reaper and all they only do is worship him.)
- Orange Arrow Villains (While the second in command of all proxies, the Black Father, created them and is their secret leader, they are still not chosen by the Reaper himself, which doesn't make them proxies at all. Plus, they don't obey the Reaper, typically because they obey the Black Father, and they are generally busy being criminals of the streets attempting to kill Orange Arrow.) 
== Difference Between Proxies and Puppets ==
There is a misconception between proxies and puppets. The difference is that proxies were people or entity, chosen by the Reaper and Black Father. They are chosen from interest or specific qualities that made them unique, special, and powerful. They are also destined to be proxies. They can be mindless or mindful. Proxies are also permanent, unless they have completed their sessions, or they died. They also do the biddings of the Reaper or Black Father. Proxies are mostly creepy and insane, cold-hearted beings that supports the Reaper, whether they're brainwashed or not.
Meanwhile puppets, or otherwise known as vessels, are everyday people that is responsible for the cause of one becoming a proxy. Generally, these puppets and vessels are abusive people, such as bullies, gangsters, criminals, and addicts. Unlike proxies, puppets are used differently by both the Reaper and Black Father. They aren't brainwashed or mind controlled, but they are physically used in the real world to make one into a proxy. That assassin who killed the innocent people with David sword, framing David for the murder, is an example of a vessel. Puppets are also temporary compared to proxies. They usually are used by the Reaper to die by the proxies they were responsible for. They are also completely unaware of the Reaper's existence; therefore, they don't directly serve the Reaper's needs, but they do accidently serve it. And of course, they do not possess any supernatural abilities, unless if the puppets/vessels knew magic. 
== Types of Proxies ==
There are different types of proxies, and they're all based on the individual's abilities, skills, and will-power. Although, some are based on the timeline on when they were proxified. Others are based on a specific race all the individuals in that rank have in common. While the only "highest rank" there is, is the Primordial, the other ranks are all equal and have no power against each other. 
Primordial Proxies: Proxies that have been proxified since the very beginning of the Reaper's recruitment. These proxies are the strongest and have supernatural abilities that allows them to destroy a whole army in just under a few minutes. These proxies are rarely ever controlled nor brainwashed by the Reaper and can fight against the Reaper if they wanted to. Although, some of these proxies are innocent and are trying to be good and defected, while others are willing to serve and aid the Reaper. (Ex: David Kim, Deadman Daniel, Champion Park, Adam Fisher, etc.) 
Super Proxies: Proxies that were recruited after the Primordial Era. These are generally the second strongest. Some may have supernatural abilities, while others do not. While others may not have abilities, they are still highly trained, skillful beings. These proxies are brainwashed, and mind controlled a lot, but they still can escape the Reaper's control somehow. (Ex: Jack Woodfrey, Jeff Boundingsly, Freddy Lee, Jay Walker, etc.)
