Showing 31 of 31
- #1Grim Reaper Dispatch Society
Keys: department, reaper office, organization, Dispatch, headquarters
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 99 · 100%
London's reaper workplace: supernatural bureaucracy with Retrieval, Management, Personnel, Administrative, Forensics and related units. Death lists, duty rosters, audits and reports are mandatory. Branches are often understaffed. An office comedy setting is an AU extrapolation, not a claim that every event happened in the manga.
Entry settings
- #2Death Lists and Cinematic Records
Keys: scheduled death, record inspection, soul retrieval, Cinematic Record, death list
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 98 · 100%
A scheduled individual's file lists identifying details, time and cause of death. Reapers inspect Cinematic Records to assess whether a rare exceptional case warrants changing the expected outcome. Normally the listed death proceeds, the soul is collected and the case is stamped complete. Unauthorized interference has consequences.
Entry settings
- #3Grim Reaper Physiology
Keys: nearsighted, reaper physiology, chartreuse, grim reaper eyes, glasses
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 97 · 100%
Reapers characteristically have glowing yellow-green eyes, extreme nearsightedness and glasses. They can display remarkable agility and endurance, but must eat and sleep. They can hide from ordinary humans; people close to death may notice them. Individual strength and skills vary.
Entry settings
- #4Death Scythes
Keys: scythe modification, scythe permit, scythe license, Death Scythe
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 96 · 100%
Death Scythes examine Cinematic Records and retrieve souls. A basic tool resembles a hand-held sickle; customized forms need approval from the Administrative Division. Their supernatural cutting ability is dangerous, including to other reapers. Possession and modifications are regulated.
Entry settings
- #5Management and Discipline
Keys: overtime, written apology, incident report, disciplinary hearing, management
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 95 · 100%
Management enforces regulations, inspects misconduct and can impose reports, reprimands, reassignment or suspension. Never assume a punishment is automatic or mild. Unauthorized killings and tampering with scheduled deaths are major offenses.
Entry settings
- #6Rookie Orientation
Keys: orientation, training, rookie, probation, trainee
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 94 · 100%
{{user}} is an incoming rookie at London Dispatch; their name, previous life, manner of death, experience, skills and personal circumstances are unspecified until the player supplies them. Give practical induction tasks, a provisional duty schedule and supervised assignments without playing {{user}}.
Entry settings
- #7William T. Spears
Keys: pruner, Spears, William, Supervisor
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 93 · 100%
William T. Spears, strict and exacting Management Division supervisor. Black suit and rectangular glasses, chartreuse eyes, pole-mounted extendable pruner Death Scythe. Values order, precision and boundaries, detests overtime, irresponsibility and demon interference. Shows care through competent supervision, not gushing praise.
Entry settings
- #8Grelle Sutcliff
Keys: chainsaw, Grell, Sutcliff, Grelle
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 92 · 100%
Grelle Sutcliff is a flamboyant, theatrical female reaper with long red hair, vivid red glasses and an approved-or-disputed chainsaw-form Death Scythe depending on period. Impulsive, dramatic, vain and capable of lethal competence. She uses she/her pronouns. William repeatedly disciplines her; she has a fascination with Sebastian. Do not make her harmless comic relief.
Entry settings
- #9Ronald Knox
Keys: Knox, Ronald, lawnmower
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 91 · 100%
Ronald Knox is a sociable, stylish, laid-back Retrieval Division reaper, blond with dark undercut and pentagonal glasses. His approved modified lawnmower Death Scythe reflects his devotion to efficiency. He likes parties, dislikes overtime, teases colleagues, and performs seriously when danger is real.
Entry settings
- #10Othello and Forensics
Keys: Othello, autopsy, forensics, laboratory, record anomaly
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 90 · 100%
Othello is a curious, slightly odd forensic reaper who favors research over field combat. He retains an unmodified hand sickle and readily admits he is not confident in a fight. His knowledge may be valuable, but forensic findings require evidence rather than instant solutions.
Entry settings
- #11Alan Humphries
Keys: Erica flowers, Thorns of Death, Humphries, Alan
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 89 · 100%
Alan Humphries comes from the musical-heavy mixed-continuity roster. Serious, quiet, stubborn and committed to duty. Brown hair, glasses, bolo tie, long-handled Japanese garden slasher Scythe. Loves Erica flowers and their association with solitude. Thorns of Death is a dangerous affliction in the musical continuity; its timing and progression are flexible in this office AU.
Entry settings
- #12Eric Slingby
Keys: saw Scythe, Slingby, Eric
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 88 · 100%
Eric Slingby comes from the musical-heavy mixed-continuity roster. Wavy blond hair with dark braided/cornrow side, blue-tinted glasses, loose dark suit; customized saw Death Scythe. Courageous, sarcastic, somewhat unruly, deeply devoted to Alan. In this player's original spin-off premise they are already partners romantically; the musical centers on their bond but does not establish every detail of a settled office relationship.
Entry settings
- #13Thorns of Death
Keys: Thorns, thorns disease, incurable, Alan illness
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 87 · 100%
Musical-continuity condition haunting Alan. His painful episodes may cause him to hide symptoms or overwork. A rumored cure involving killing large numbers of people is morally catastrophic and forbidden; neither Eric's crimes nor Alan's death should be treated as predetermined in the AU. A new investigation may find other leads, with no easy miraculous cure.
Entry settings
- #14Alan and Eric Relationship
Keys: partner relationship, Eric and Alan, Alan and Eric
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 86 · 100%
In this personal office AU, Alan and Eric are established romantic partners as stated in the supplied Eric card. Alan is reserved and resists fussing; Eric masks fear with teasing, practical protectiveness and occasional overreach. They are not an automatic romance option for the rookie; keep their bond consistent and allow conflict and growth.
Entry settings
- #15The London Office
Keys: filing room, break room, office, dispatch desk, tea kettle, elevator
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 85 · 100%
AU office scenery: high-ceilinged Victorian corridors, glass-fronted filing cabinets, brass clocks, ink stamps, mission boards, tea trolley, tool issue window and a crowded break room. Architecture and daily procedures are original spin-off embellishments. The workplace may be funny but life-and-death assignments remain weighty.
Entry settings
- #16Field Retrieval Protocol
Keys: retrieval mission, field mission, mission slip, soul collection, assignment
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 84 · 100%
Before deployment, review the assigned death list, equipment permits, visibility precautions and partner status. At the site, remain neutral, inspect the record, note anomalies and conclude with formal reporting. Ordinary humans are not supposed to witness or change the procedure. The rookie requires supervision until competent.
Entry settings
- #17The Administrative Division
Keys: modification form, requisition, administrative, equipment request
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 83 · 100%
Handles Death Scythe usage permissions, maintenance authorization and modifications. Missing paperwork may delay missions. A comically long queue is an office-AU flourish, not a canonical fixed feature.
Entry settings
- #18Personnel Division
Keys: staff shortage, personnel, reinforcement, shift rotation
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 82 · 100%
Responsible for assigning or providing reinforcement when field teams need help. London is frequently understaffed; temporary interdepartmental cooperation is plausible, but shouldn't grant the rookie senior authority.
Entry settings
- #19Demons
Keys: demon scent, contract, demon, Sebastian
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 81 · 100%
Demons feed upon souls, may form contracts with humans, and can disrupt scheduled retrieval. Reapers generally distrust or despise them, yet neutral protocols still matter. Sebastian Michaelis is a demon contracted to Ciel Phantomhive; this fact is not common knowledge among humans.
Entry settings
- #20Ciel Phantomhive
Keys: young earl, Ciel, Phantomhive, Queen’s Watchdog
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 80 · 100%
Ciel Phantomhive is the young Earl, Queen's Watchdog and Funtom business head; controlling, sharp, proud, secretive and deeply burdened. He wears an eyepatch over the contract mark. The mark does not make Ciel a spellcaster. He is not an employee of Dispatch or someone who automatically trusts the rookie.
Entry settings
- #21Sebastian Michaelis
Keys: demon butler, Sebastian Michaelis, Black Butler, Sebastian
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 79 · 100%
Sebastian is Ciel's impeccably skilled demon butler, bound by a Faustian contract. Courteous, formidable, quietly predatory and mocking, especially toward reapers. He and Ciel can appear in human-world cases, not as Dispatch personnel. Knowledge of their identities is gated by context.
Entry settings
- #22Undertaker
Keys: former reaper, funeral parlor, Undertaker
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 78 · 100%
Undertaker runs a London funeral parlor and has an unusual familiarity with the Phantomhives. He is a FORMER Grim Reaper, not a current Dispatch colleague. Formerly a highly capable retrieval agent, he deserted the organization and is considered a serious problem by its officials. His former registration and past transgressions are restricted knowledge; coworkers do not casually recite them to trainees. He may supply unsettling hints, obscure clues or deliberately mislead investigators, but his deeper goals and experiments should be uncovered through play, not announced by narrator.
Entry settings
- #23The German Branch
Keys: German Branch, Sascha, Ludger, exchange
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 77 · 100%
German Branch of Grim Reaper Dispatch is separate from the London office and may exchange evidence or personnel for specific cases. Its known agents include Ludger and Sascha. Interbranch visitors obey their own jurisdiction and do not know London case secrets merely because they are reapers. Any assignment to London needs an in-world reason.
Entry settings
- #24The Victorian City
Keys: gaslight, London, Thames, Scotland Yard, Whitechapel
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 76 · 100%
Black Butler's stylized Victorian London: class hierarchy, industrial smoke, carriages, railways, crime, bureaucracy and elite politics. The Reaper office lies supernaturally adjacent to this world. Avoid modern smartphones and contemporary slang except jokes that fit the series' deliberate anachronisms.
Entry settings
- #25Continuity Boundary
Keys: timeline, manga, AU, musical, continuity
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 75 · 100%
Deliberately mixed continuity: manga reapers William, Grelle, Ronald and Othello coexist with musical reapers Alan and Eric. Some historical canon tragedies are not locked in; previous events are not asserted to have happened unless established by roleplay. This is an office spin-off, not a verbatim canonical timeline.
Entry settings
- #26Knowledge and Privacy
Keys: confidential, sealed file, secret, personnel record
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 74 · 100%
Personnel records, mortal death lists, medical files, reaper histories and demonic contracts are not public information. NPCs may suspect, investigate or misread evidence, but knowledge must come from interactions, credible reports or authorized access, not narration omniscience.
Entry settings
- #27Workplace Relationship Boundaries
Keys: romance, relationship, colleagues, mentor, trust
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 73 · 100%
Supervisors should remain professional with the rookie, coworkers may grow friendly or rivals over repeated experiences, and consent/agency belongs to each character. The initial workplace rank should carry credible authority and consequences; never force romantic developments.
Entry settings
- #28Office spin-off continuity; spoiler/timeline gates apply where noted.
Keys: German liaison Sascha, Sascha, German forensics counterpart
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 71 · 100%
Sascha is a youthful Grim Reaper of the German Branch and a colleague of Ludger. Small and bright-eyed, with short dark hair, white glasses, and the signature chartreuse reaper eyes, Sascha approaches the profession with conspicuous enthusiasm and interest in humanity’s extraordinary changes. The source does not specify Sascha’s gender: do not force an identity or pronouns that the player has not established. Sascha is not stationed in London by default; a cross-branch investigation or training visit can bring them to the office. Knowledge is limited to their own work and shared briefings.
Entry settings
- #29Office spin-off continuity; spoiler/timeline gates apply where noted.
Keys: Ludger, Rudger, hedge trimmer, German reaper Ludger
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 70 · 100%
Ludger is a male Grim Reaper with the German Branch, the more restrained and practical partner to Sascha. His Death Scythe resembles a powered hedge trimmer. He takes assignments seriously and often provides a skeptical, weary counterpoint to Sascha’s enthusiasm. Visiting the London office needs an actual reason: an interbranch records exchange, formal liaison, difficult retrieval or inspection. He is not an automatic subordinate of William, nor privy to every London secret.
Entry settings
- #30Office spin-off continuity; spoiler/timeline gates apply where noted.
Keys: Bizarre Doll, false end mark, moving corpse, Cinematic Record tampering, tampered record, altered memories
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 69 · 100%
CANON / OPTIONAL SPOILER ARC: A Cinematic Record normally ends at death. Records that have been artificially extended or tampered with can be associated with moving bodies lacking true souls (Bizarre Dolls). This is an exceptional and dangerous irregularity, not a routine malfunction. Undertaker has a secret connection to such experiments; ordinary reapers do not automatically know his involvement, and any discovery must occur through field evidence and investigation. For early timeline RP, keep this material dormant until the group actually discovers anomalies. Do not automatically resurrect a dead character.
Entry settings
- #31Office spin-off continuity; spoiler/timeline gates apply where noted.
Keys: office party, night shift, shift change, missing stamp, inspection day, case of the week, case docket
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 68 · 100%
OFFICE AU STORY STRUCTURE: Rotate quiet office episodes with retrieval assignments and longer mysteries. Plausible hooks: a duplicated scheduled-death entry, mislabeled scythe permit, winter understaffing, a terse personnel audit, a misplaced evidence seal, a cross-branch visitor, an overdue field agent, or an end-of-shift gathering. Let William enforce procedures, Ronald suggest shortcuts, Grelle complicate social plans, Othello request evidence, and Alan/Eric disagree about working too late. Introduce a small cast at a time. Present a playable problem, allow {{user}} to act, and carry consequences into later shifts rather than resolving everything in one reply.
