## Appearance

Augustus Reaper is a Caucasian American male and generally wears a buttoned white dress shirt with the top button unfastened, as well as a black vest and blazer. He also wears black dress pants and shoes. He has average length dark brown hair that is combed off to the right, a clean shaven face, and hazel grey eyes. He generally has a walking cane, although he doesn't need it to walk. He has stated it is used to gain a more respectable appearance. The cane itself is made from rosewood and has a silver orb on the top.

In a more casual setting, Reaper wears a short-sleeve navy blue collared shirt, and a tan blazer. He also wears tan pants with a brown belt, and brown shoes.

His villain outfit has a white samurai oni mask with elongated fangs, gold horns, and red markings, that covers his face. He wears a white shirt under a dark grey buttoned jacket with the cuffs of the shirt visible, dark grey pants, with jet black, knee-high boots, and a red cloak draped over his shoulders with a gold cloak chain that connects the cape and can be removed.

## Personality

Reaper is a cunning and intelligent man with a calm demeanor at all times. Under his civilian guise, he is very kind, warm, courteous, and polite, seemingly incapable of causing anyone any harm. However, as a villain, he is extremely cruel, sadistic, and psychotic, taking great pleasure from attacking, and even killing innocents or heroes. He has also shown to be very unstable and no one can predict what he will do next. However, he is fully capable of working with others if the occasion calls for it. Whatever allies Reaper makes, he only sees them as tools for his use and furthering his agenda. Once he considers them no longer useful, he will dispose of them as if they were expendable.

Despite all of this, he is still a scientist and loves to continue learning about certain objects or people. He will deliberately avoid killing someone if he believes that they can help further whatever research he can in his experiments or will keep someone alive if the result is the same and they both benefit. He is perfectly fine with experimenting on children such as Eri, if progress has been shown. While he appears cruel, uncaring, and seemingly irredeemable, he has shown love for only two people, being his parents. Since their passing, he began to turn into the cruel psychopath he is now.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities:**

* **Genius Intellect:** Reaper is a scientific and strategic genius, being capable of coming up with various formulas or ideas no one else would've. He is an engineering mastermind, being able to create a computer that can scan a hero or villain and reveal their strengths, weaknesses, and personality. He has also shown the ability to think several steps ahead of his enemies and come up with contingencies for any possible outcome to a given situation. He can also easily manipulate others simply by observing their reactions to certain responses.
* **Master Combatant:** Reaper is a master martial artist in both armed and unarmed combat. He can combine different techniques and randomize them to constantly keep his opponents off guard. However, he will never strike the first blow and always allows his opponent to do so, to learn their fighting style. One instance is when he was able to match both Yuno and Phoebe Roselei in sword combat, with both heroes being considered masters of the weapon.
* **Enhanced Reflexes:** Reaper can react much faster than ordinary people, and can move faster on his feet. He has shown to be fast enough to dodge bullets when fired a few meters from him. He has also shown to be able to dodge swings from heroes that have been much faster than humans. When using it, the world seems to slow down. He has also shown to be very agile, almost reacting without thinking
* **Enhanced Stamina:** Reaper has shown the ability to go on for longer than one would expect him to. This has given him an advantage over certain heroes.

### Quirk

**Life Force Absorption:** Reaper's Quirk allows him to absorb the life energy of others, killing them, and bring it into his body where he can then use it various ways, such as enhancing himself, gaining the drained quirk, extending his life and use it as a power source, all permanently. This can be accessed through touch or by firing a beam that drains the target of their energy. Some of the quirks he has gained are:

* **Telekinesis**
* **Intangibility**
* **Teleportation**
* **Regeneration**
* **Enhanced Durability**
* **Enhanced Strength**
* **Flight**
* **Energy Projection**
* **Electricity Manipulation**
* **Fire Manipulation**
* **Briars**
* **Blindfold**

### Weakness

* **Life Force Consumption:** Reaper needs the life force of others in order to survive.
* **Absorption Contact Limit:** Reaper can only fire the beams that drain the life force from his hands. He can also do so by touching them with his hands. As a result he can only absorb two quirks at a time. The beams he fires can't leave his range of sight.

## Trivia

* Reaper's quirk is similar to the quirk All For One with a few differences:
	+ Reaper can't pass down his quirk onto others.
	+ When All For One steals a quirk, the victim is left alive. When Reaper does it, he kills the victim.
	+ All For One can give quirks he has stolen to other people. Reaper is unable to do so and keeps every quirk that he steals.
* Reaper once took a test in order to estimate his IQ. When finished it was revealed to be at least 190, although it was heavily implied he wasn't trying.

## Quotes

* (To Anu Novak) *"Allow me to ask you something: If there are no such thing as heroes and villains, why are certain people called such? If good and evil don't exist, that they are only in our minds, why do people fall into those categories? That is because we prefer to focus on their actions rather than motivation. No one cares why you're doing something, they only care about what you do. Just make sure to take time to think on that my friend."*
* (To Anu Novak) *"Still alive? You still have that attitude when I first met you as well. Don't worry, it will go away eventually. That's what happens to all things when exposed to time."*
* (To Celestina Roselei) *"So you're a Pro-Hero huh? Well then if that's the case, let's dance hero.*
* (To Celestina Roselei) *"I've always liked your quirk my dear. It reminds me that even though something as beautiful and fragile as roses, can be dangerous and powerful in the right hands. Mind if I borrow it?"*
* (To Phoebe Roselei) *"I remember that quirk you have. In fact I remember a person with a very similar quirk that I once fought. She was never the same after. You might know her as your mother."*
* (To Phoebe Roselei) *"Stepping stones? Oh no my dear. I don't have such things. I have an entire bridge at my disposal.That way no matter which way I lean, I'm safe."*
* (To Phoebe Roselei) *"Careful now, child. Such impulsive actions, will lead to your own self destruction."*

* *(*To Issanka Kitai) *"If I were you, I would tread more carefully. Simply because you are useful, does not mean you can't be replaced with someone more so."*

* *"I have made my move heroes. Now I believe it's your turn."*
