Reapers

**Reapers** are a supernatural species featured on The CW's *Supernatural*. They are responsible with collecting human souls and delivering them to their final destination, whether this being Heaven or Hell. Though Heaven being the optimal choice being as people who are destined to go to Hell are normaly dealt by Demons.

## Characteristics

When "reaping" a soul, they give them a choice: to stay behind in the Vail and become a ghost where they will roam the Earth for the rest of eternity where they will eventually become a Vengfull Spirit or to go with the reaper where they will move on to the afterlife such as Heaven. Reapers are unable to disclose where or what it is like in the Afterlife if a soul should ask.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Invisibility:** Reapers are invisible to normal humans. They are only perceived by them if they are the one which they are going to reap. Superior beings such as Angels, Demons and Ghosts are all able to perceive Reapers.
* **Teleportation:** Reapers can teleport anywhere in the world. This includes different dimensions such as Heaven, Hell, Purgatory and the Veil. They are also able to transport the human soul with them to take them to their afterlife. However, they don't have access to places which have been closed such as Heaven after Metatron closed the gates. This prevented them from taking souls to Heaven until his defeat.
* **Telekinesis:** Reapers also possess the ability to move things with their mind such as when April Kelly used her power on the Winchesters.

### Weaknesses

* **Magic:** Via a spell, reapers can be bound so that they do the user's bidding such as to take someone's life and to give it to someone else. If a Witch is powerful enough, they can cast a spell which can cause a reaper to burst into flames, killing them.
* **Death's Scythe:** The scythe owned by Death himself has the power to kill reapers such as when Alastair did so to two other reapers when breaking one of the 66 Seals.
* **Reaper Trap:** The trap has the power to seal a reaper or reapers inside where they are powerless to leave or use their powers.
* **Angel Blades:** These blades also have the power to end a reaper as shown when Crowley stabbed Ajay in the back. When stabbed with the blade, they die a similar way to Angels as they expel light when they are stabbed.
