A happy memory huh? It’s really a toss up between spending an evening with Cross and just talking, or the first time Carell meet Emilio. When they sat in his room in the quiet. Those two times are really when he felt calm and at peace.

“Emilio, on your left!” Lenalee brought a heavy kick down on the head of a Level 2, stopping to shout out in warning as a swarm (regrettably too far out of reach for her to get to in time) flew maliciously in his direction.

Isabella Clair Marx || Character Bio

Horoscope: Scorpio (INTJ)

Height: 165cm (5' 5")

Weight: 53kg (116 lb)

Gender: Female

Blood Type: O

Sexuality: Straight

Relatives: Vivian (mother, deceased-1870) James (father, deceased-1870) Oliver (older brother, deceased-1870)

ModernAU Age: 150 (claiming to be 23, looks about 20)

Birthday: November 16th (born 1865)

Personality: Depending on the circumstances, Isabella usually acts polite and reserved, often giving off a calm and composed attitude,while, in reality, she prefers to be emotionally detached from everyone and everything, often telling her (reaper) coworkers that it is tactless to bring emotion into work. She is very easily irritable, but depending on whom she is accompanying, she hides it well, though if she doesn't hide it, her glare will cut daggers into the thickest of skin. 

Isabella prefers to remain emotionally detached because of her family's untimely death: when she was only the age of four, on a stormy night her parents and beloved older brother were murdered before her eyes. As a teen, Isabella committed suicide, being severely depressed and overwhelmed with the responsibility of becoming family head, and this is how she was ‘reborn’ as reaper. She also as an irrational and uncontrollable fear of storms, having tried years and years to rid herself of the fear, only to fail (if probed with close contact or affection, she shows small resentment towards being what she is. She is also pretty kind and affectionate but she would never admit it). 

Isabella is also an extremely successful business woman, having after her parents and older brother's death, she was raised to be the perfect business leader from a young age. Over the decades, she has become head of the Marx family as well as leader of the family company (Marx Printing and Publishing), which has expanded into several countries of Europe, Asia and North America. Because of her company's success, she has become an extreme workaholic that interferes with her sleep schedule more often than not. 

Linguistics: 

Being a native to Britain, where her home is, when speaking English Isabella has a distinctive British accent (as one would expect). Isabella can speak French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese,Japanese, German, and Russian almost fluently and a little of a few other European languages (though not much, she intends to improve over the rest of her long life).

Favorites:

Food: Italian Pastas and German pastries Drink: Coffee Desserts: Lemon Cake Hobbies: Cooking, playing piano & violin, singing, sketching Dislikes: People who put in no effort or don't even try. Laziness. Tardiness.

ISABELLA CLAIR MARX || GRIM REAPER BIO

A Grim Reaper (死神; Shinigami) is a neutral supernatural being, whose primary duties are to review and collect souls.

Background

Humans who committed suicide become Grim Reapers as punishment. Until the day they are forgiven, they are to work hard and continuously observe people's deaths.

General Information

Grim Reapers must remain neutral between God and humans; they are strictly forbidden from to intervening in or influencing human affairs. Grim Reapers receive a soul retrieval list of those scheduled to die from their higher-ups. The list contains substantial information on the human, including the person's name, parents, birth date, death date, cause of death, and any additional notes. Their principal job is to check each dying soul's kaleidoscope of memories—its Cinematic Record—one by one, to determine whether they deserve to die or not. For the human who receives the judgment, "this human should die," the Grim Reapers use their Death Scythes to sever his or her memories and souls from his or her bodies, resulting in the human's death. Afterward, they would promptly stamp "Completed" on the individual's file on the list. The human can be removed from the list only when they are judged to have been one "who has potential to be beneficial for this world"—notwithstanding, the number of humans who have that sort of value is few to none, according to William T. Spears. The Grim Reapers fundamentally work to confirm that the rare possibility of a "valuable" human is not the case each time, and they must do so as indifferently and levelheadedly as they can.

If a Grim Reaper makes a mistake or breaks a rule during their mission, they must return to headquarters and submit a written apology and report. The details of their punishment are unknown, though if the crime is severe, they may be suspended for some time. On the other hand, if a Grim Reaper quits or retires, they would no longer have their soul retrieval list, and their Death Scythe would be confiscated, unconditionally.

Characteristics

Grim Reapers typically intend to eliminate anything that gets in their way. They and demons have a long-standing and mutual distaste for one another. They consider demons vulgar and a nuisance; demons disrupt their structured, meticulous work of reaping souls, due to their tendency to devour souls indiscriminately and in great quantities.

Unlike demons, all Grim Reapers require sleep. All Grim Reapers have chartreuse phosphorescent eyes, and wear glasses because they are extremely nearsighted. Grim Reapers without their glasses are normally presumed to be "deserters."

Abilities

Grim Reapers have a variety of abilities including:

Enhanced speed and power

: Grim Reapers have the strength and agility comparable to demons, for they are able to fight and defend against attacks that would easily crush a human.

Enhanced endurance

: Grim Reapers are extremely tough, able to endure numerous assaults that would have killed a human.

Soul review and collection

: By using their Death Scythes, Grim Reapers can review a dying soul's memories, via its Cinematic Record, and retrieve the soul, once the formal assessment is finished.

 Grim Reaper Dispatch

The community of Grim Reapers is referred to as the Grim Reaper Dispatch. The organization is divided into administrative departments or districts; each section is charged with a specific duty. The Management Division is responsible for overseeing the dispatch members, and ensuring that their conduct is proper and acceptable. They will apprehend whichever Grim Reaper violated their ordinances. The Retrieval Division consists of members dispatched into the field to retrieve souls. The Personnel Division sends out reinforcements to the field, when necessary. The Administrative Division controls the use of Death Scythes; Grim Reapers must obtain permission to use their Death Scythes, and to modify them.

 There are different branches of the Grim Reaper Dispatch, separated by geographical regions. According to William, the London District, or English Branch, is "perpetually understaffed." Occasionally, the branches cooperate by sharing information or important documents, as did the English Branch with the German Branch during the events at Wolfsschlucht.

"Does your left eye hurt? Because you have been looking right all day?" [He's very confused on if this is how puns work, the Italian DWEEB]

Carell looked over at Emilio when the man tried (and failed) to deliver the pick up line. He felt a laugh bubble up and tried hard to fight it down. “Darlin’ if you could use pick-up lines you’d have gotten laid already.” He said, teasing, sexy smirk on his face. A thick drawl entered his voice, making it seem slightly darker.

In the Night || @troppe-anime

  It was just after the very last rays of sunset, making the city of London sparkle in the dark night, night workers lighting all the street lamps. Isabella was dressed in clothing that highly contrasted to her usual noble garb, not only giving her an odd futuristic look that didn’t fit with the times, but the stereotypical appearance of what a business man might wear. Her wardrobe consisted of a plain  blouse, grey dress trousers, and matching grey vest. Her dark blue hair that was usually cascading around her shoulders was tied up into a rather untidy bun, a large contrast to her usual character.

           Her current location was in a city park located in the upper region of London that had spaciously wide lawns, trees and ponds that included a Japanese landscape garden as well as a French style garden. Though the scenery was beautifully lit by lanterns, being the perfect setting for a nightly stroll, she was here on a mission; there was a new soul on the to-die list. She stealthily crept her way towards the north edge of the park where there was a more secluded spot surrounded by trees. That’s where she heard the low whisper of voices. It wasn’t long until she spotted the dark shadowed silhouettes of four male figures, three large and bulky while the fourth cowered weakly in fear.

           The pathetically crouched form on the ground was that of James Estreth, an older gentlemen that had a bad gambling habit and owed a great deal of money to a rather shady company. Isabella watched as the scene played out, the pathetic man begging for forgiveness and a pushed back due date, spouting out empty promises of paying back his debt. Isabella never felt any pity for such souls, her only thoughts of how slimy the human race could be. The three larger figures pounced on their prey like savage animals, beating the man senseless until he stopped moving, leaving him there to die.

           Isabella waited only a few seconds before stepping from her hiding spot in the bushes, walking casually to the bloodied heap of a man on the ground, her expression grim and serious. She stopped a few steps away from the man, standing over him as she pulled out a slim black notebook, adjusting her glasses before reading out in a clear voice over the dying man’s whimpers for help, “James Estreth, British male at the age of 45, died on April 14, 1988, at 11:14 P.M. from fatal blows to vital organs repeatedly.”

           She snapped the book shut after reading the verdict, her cold blue gaze moving onto the sight of the man reaching out as if he were asking for her help. She slashed the air with her scythe—a long, slender handled Japanese garden slasher—as if pulling it out of thin air before bring it down into the man’s chest to collect his soul…

A few minutes later, Isabella was walking back out of the park as though nothing of the previous had just occurred.
