Deathform

Deathforms are a recently discovered form of creature originating from the Crossing. They represent certain causes of death, and each bear a unique appearance along with methods of killing humans. They gain more power from humans that die from the specific cause of death they represent, especially if they kill the human themselves. Essentially they are abstract entities that physically embody the concept of death and the different ways they are achieved. They can also infuse corpses with pieces of themselves, creating Leiche. 
== Background ==
The Deathforms appear to originate from the Crossing, but aside from that, very little is known about them, including their original role. 
They first emerged after the First Extinction Verdict, with more slowly appearing on Earth over time. Due to this, it's believed the First E.V.E. somehow created a bridge between the Crossing and our own world, allowing them to pass through. Due to the large amount of damage and death these creatures have caused, their existence is very much public knowledge. 
Deathforms can be killed, but are effectively immortal as they resurrect in a random location upon the specific cause of death that they represent happening again. 
Deathforms that represent more human-oriented or created ways of dying (such as failed medical procedures) take on a more humanoid appearance and can be difficult to distinguish from regular people. A prime example of this being The Doctor. 
Deathforms only gain more power from killing humans themselves or indirectly, killing Deathforms or Leiche does not give them any additional power. Interestedly, they don't gain more power from killing creatures that lack a soul. 
Deathforms have been designated as HADES followed by a numeral to help distinguish them from N.A.E.s. 
== Reincarnation ==
The reincarnation abilities of the Deathforms are very complicated. A Deathform first comes into being when a specific cause of death first occurs to a human. Originally, Deathforms were "born" in the mysterious gateway dimension known as Kreuzung, or as referred to in English, The Crossing. While not much about the dimension is known, it was believed to be the bridge between the living world and the afterlife, given that human souls, the Shadows or Seele, all seem to end up there naturally. The Deathforms seemed to have little purpose aside from hunting down these souls, and if you were caught, they would kill you with the cause of death that they represent. Only this directly harms the soul and is noted to be extremely painful despite the souls lacing a physical body. While the soul could not die and would regenerate infinitely, there was a very good chance that you would be repeatedly killed and tortured by these entities for eternity, especially if they were keen on keeping you in one place as they killed you. Meaning if you slip up and get caught, you might spend the rest of forever being killed over and over again with no mercy and be lucky if the entity got bored with you or it saw another soul wandering about and decided to go after it instead. Though the chances are not likely.
However, following the First Extinction Verdict, the Deathforms started appearing on Earth and have all but abandoned The Crossing for unknown reasons. While souls can now wander and pass on unimpeded, this may be far worse for the still living humans on Earth. 
Deathforms will now randomly appear on Earth, boasting a unique appearance every time they revive. They only reincarnate upon the cause of death they represent occurring, meaning that Deathforms that represent rarer or more specific forms of death may take months or even years to reincarnate.
Something that should be noted is that a Deathform will always have the chance of reincarnating so long as people can die from the concept they represent. If a cause of death is cured or can no longer kill people, then the Deathform will cease to exist and can no longer reincarnate. If the Deathform happens to be alive when this occurs, they will wither away and disintegrate. This was observed with the Polio and Smallpox Deathforms.
A Deathform may have other Deathforms created based off other causes of death originating from the original concept. For example, The Blade Deathform could unintentionally create the Blood Loss Deathform or others based on alternative forms of death that come from the original. If the original ceases to exist, then the others could likely wither away as well if their causes of death started to no longer happen. If a cause of death becomes possible again after the Deathforms "death", the Deathform will reincarnate. 
Deathforms based on causes of death that originated from humans or that mostly apply to humans (like the Medical Procedure or Murderer Deathforms) will have a very human appearance. What exactly determines it is unclear, as despite being based off a human invention, Deathforms such as the Firearm and Grenade Deathforms don't have a humanoid appearance. 
The reincarnation of a Deathform occurs in a random location, and is often hailed by a specific occurrence (such as an explosion occurring when the Explosion Deathform reincarnates), though since the location is random, it does mean a Deathform can die as soon as they are reborn (a well known example being an unknown Deathform reincarnating right above a volcano and falling into the lava). Some Deathforms may reincarnate in a manner that is connected with the death that brought them back. The current incarnation of the Medical Procedures Deathform (aka The Doctor) crawled out the open chest cavity of a patient that died during heart surgery in a shower of blood. 
Finally, Deathforms can only reincarnate if a human dies by their cause of death. Animals and other organisms do not count.
