Made a Demon OC for some proxies - thanks to @sstealth-crispiess for some INCREDIBLE help w the design. below the cut has the info/outlines on proxies. I'm working on making refs for them. (remaking some old OCs into proxies of the Harvestman)
Here be the deviantART group for it too!
Proxies view the Harvestman as their salvation from a tiresome life. The Harvestman preys upon and recruits those in the country who are dissatisfied with life and family. It starts by plauging their dreams so they are unable to sleep, and eventually offering glimpses of itself or other demonic looking creatures in the corner of the proxy's vision. When they are feeling weak, and want it all to stop, it swoops in and offers salvation from a pitiful life.
The proxies harvest organs for their master to consume. Some proxies may participate in cannibalism when times are tough, such as when there aren't as many animals to hunt or they haven't been able to get other foodstuffs.
There are a few categories of proxy, and most tend to flip flop around between them. There are Harvesters, Gatherers, Disposers, Searchers, and Suppliers.

Harvesters have the bloody job of extracting organs and meat from their victims. This is often done in the barn near the farmhouse in which the proxies tend to live. If a harvester is skilled at their work, the victim does not die. Very few harvesters have mastered how to do this.
Gatherers hunt down and bring victims to the farmhouse. They often do not kill the victim, as usually victims are left to the wolves or to freeze in the cold.
Disposers often times do not like blood, and are sent to drag the bodies of victims away from the farmhouse and out to the dumping grounds. This is either a place where the wolves and other wildlife can pick the bones clean, or a ravine with a fast moving river. Disposers need good stamina as they are often on hours long hikes through rough terrain.
Searchers are those who look for where to find the next victim, and inform the Gatherers.
Suppliers create, or more often times, steal/find drugs to keep victims subdued during organ removal. They also are in charge of hunting deer, moose, and other game, as well as getting other food and supplies for the proxies. Some searchers will bring in supplies as well, but will not work with making, stealing, or finding the drugs used.
All proxies are human, and are most of the time almost adults, usually around 17 years of age, up to early to mid twenties. It is extremely rare for a proxy to be chosen earlier than 17 or later than early to mid twenties.
Sometimes, but not all of the time, proxies will end up killing immediate family members, usually ones who try looking for them.
Most proxies are based out of an old farmhouse, which is now in a forest that has taken over the old fields. Some proxies, often time the Disposers, also work on fixing the farmhouse so its more livable. There is a dilapidated barn as well, where butchering most often takes place. Most proxies don't like to work in the farmhouse, and prefer to separate living and working environments. Searchers often do not live at the farmhouse, but rather back in various towns and work in said towns. They can stay at the farmhouse, but some proxies resent them for having a somewhat more "normal" life. As such, if they stay over at the farmhouse, they are at risk of being attacked and/or killed by other proxies.
Many proxies have a vice, such as drinking, drugs or something else. There is a moonshine still in the old chicken coop, and Break Away is the overseer of the still. She makes sure no one takes more than their fair share of whatever was put into it.
All proxies have a Sickle shaped marking on their body, which shows they are proxies of the Harvestman. It is located on the left shoulderblade. The mark PNG file can be seen here; sta.sh/0k98h4vkuun
