**Brook**, born **Alexander Chykov** is the tritagonist of *I'm the Grim Reaper*. He is known as the **Rabbit Reaper**, and the only Grim Reaper that is not a sinner. He formerly worked under the Red Spades but quit after Episode 54 and officially joined Scarlet and Chase on Episode 57.

Due to his actions, he can be considered the secondary antagonist during the Red Spades Saga.

## Appearance

Brook appears as a young man with a short stature and deathly pale complexion. He has white/pale pink hair, with bangs that cover his right eye. His rear hair is quite long, reaching down half of his nape. Brook has magenta eyes, and has several Magenta X marks (which were previously clock marks) along the right side of his body, possibly tattoos. His feet and the lower parts of his legs are permanently stained, presumably from when he walked through purgatory before being made a reaper.

Brook sports a short white t-shirt with a wide collar, short baggy sleeves, and a hot pink rectangle on both shoulders. He wears a pair of black knee-length baggy pants, and a belt with a loop on both the left and right side held by two white buckles. His "rabbit ears" is actually a hot pink ribbon tied in a bow, and looped around his neck to look like a scarf. He's also seen with pink gloves.

## Personality

During earlier chapters, Brook had maintained an aloof and antisocial persona towards his coworkers inside the Red Spades (—and later, Chase and Scarlet), maintaining a good distance.

However as time went on, Brook began to have a more emotional and personal opinion towards Scarlet and Chase; saving them countless of times, and helping them reach their goal of finding Scarlet’s true identity.

He is, at his core, a person who truly cares about the people he is close to. Although he seems to have a hard time saying these emotions, he often expresses them through gestures and does his best to keep his friends’ happiness, even if he didn’t know they cared for him as well.

Brook has a bleak view of humanity, not valuing the lives of others, but he seems sympathetic to those who have good reasons to why they have become sinner, and does not like killing them.

## History

Brook was born as the second born, and heir to the Chykov family's business as his older sister Natasha was considered an impure member of the family. After his father dies said sister takes over the family business until he turns 18, though she does not wish to give up the position. She grows the company to a point at which when Alexander does turn 18 she gives him the subtle option to let her keep the position or be killed to which he chooses to proceed with the course of taking the company over.

Natasha kills Alexander with the signature 'rabbit ears' sash that Brook wears in the present and due to his extremely neutral life he simply goes to purgatory. Desiring a purpose Brook walks to hell seeing its crimson sky on the edge of the horizon, permanently staining his legs on the trek. Upon getting to hell Brook cuts a deal with the devil to allow Natasha freedom from hell while he works as a reaper. Later on he saves Chase Carter from the red spades attempting to collect a debt from the Vo family.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Biological Immortality:** As a reaper, Brook does not physically age and thus is not susceptible to dying of natural causes.
* **Enhanced Condition**
	+ **Super Strength:** Brook can perform feats of strength far greater than that of a normal human, such as picking up and throwing a car into a helicopter without strain (Episode 86).
	+ **Super Speed:** He can match and exceed Scarlet's speed in combat, who is fast enough to intercept bullets.
	+ **Enhanced Durability:** Brook is capable of surviving injuries that would be fatal to a normal human, such as being riddled with hundreds of bullets (Episode 87).
	+ **Pain Negation:** As a Reaper, Brook can turn off his pain receptors and be able to not feel pain at will.
	+ **Self-Sustenance:** Like all reapers, Brook does not need to eat or sleep to function.
* **Regeneration (Limited):** Brook can have any wound healed so long as a part of his body remains. However, this ability is limited by the fact that he is dependent on Satan to do the healing and that he needs to kill a sinner in order to be teleported to hell and fixed.
* **Demonic Empowerment:** As a reaper, Brook has a demon soul bestowed by Satan living inside of him along with a human soul. The demon soul can enhance his body and takes the shape of a Rabbit. He has excellent control over his demon, in contrast to Scarlet.
* **Weapon Manipulation:** Brook can manifest his demon into a weapon of any sort, (according to GRAVEWEAVER) as well as manipulate the properties of it (making it longer, smaller, etc.).
* **Sinner Clairvoyance:** As a reaper, Brook can see those who have sinned as being marked with a big red 'X' on their torso.

## Trivia

* In a trivia session with the author, GRAVEWEAVER, on Instagram, the following were confirmed:
	+ Brook formerly had horns and a tail, similar to Scarlet, but they went away a long time ago.
	+ Brook feels indifferent about Chase. However, he doesn't mind Scarlet.
	+ His opinion on bunnies and rabbits is that they've "grown on him".
	+ Brook seldom eats, not that he needs to anyway. Nonetheless, if he sees a certain dessert that looks somewhat good, he'll try it, such as macarons, cakes, or cookies.
	+ During his time as a human, it is assumed that he was born into a wealthy family. He found most of that life boring, saying that he had many private instructors, wore uncomfortable clothing, sang, and even held forks in a specific way.

* Brook was in purgatory before he simply walked all the way to hell to become a reaper.
* The ribbon worn by Brook appears to be same ribbon he was strangled with by his sister.
* After death, he chose the name "Brook" because he would always follow the streams to prevent himself from getting lost while walking to hell.
* Brook is around 118 years old. "Plus or minus a few years, I can't remember." He says.
