II Main II Updates II The Reaper II The Infested Marine II The High Templar II The Story II

"Marine candidates who remain unmanageable after neural resocialization are sent to be trained as Reapers. These troops are chemically altered to heighten their aggression even further, and then they are instructed in close-quarters combat and the use of Jet Packs. These grant Reapers a high degree of mobility, allowing them to traverse obstacles easily and cover ground rapidly. In combat, Reapers attack with rapid-fire dual Gauss Pistols and dangerously unstable D-8 Charges. Reapers are guaranteed their freedom after two years of service, but none has survived for more than six months."

The New Reaper

Since the fall of the terran confedration, reapers found themselves free of the ties and bonds of the enslavement of their superiors. Now they are free to do what they wish. While most reapers resorted back to their old ways of crime and murder, a select few choose to take the higher path.

Leading a life of war for so many years has made what was left of the man underneath the reaper, a hollow shell. They live, breath and fight for war....or to end it. Those who choose to fight for a cause became aware of psionics first. Something about the emotional ties between humanities cry for help and the psionic powers that bind them into existence called upon the souls and minds of the reapers.

Psionics have granted the reapers with enhanced abilities in combat. From increasing their survivablity to effecting the weapons they wield.

The CeC

During the fall of the confederacy, terran scientists were working on new technology to help fight against Chaos. The reapers were the first to get a hold of this new technology, but not before it was too late. The development of the Cryogenic Elementium Chamber, or CeC, was installed into all new reaper weapons. The CeC is linked to a neural inhibitor inside the reapers suit. This provides a direct link to brainwave impulses of the reaper and allows the CeC to "communicate" with the reaper. The CeC is capable of modifying bullets inside the chamber. The type of modification is only limited to what the reaper can "think up".

Due to the lack of education for prisoners, you can imagine that thinking up anything beyond "I shoot, you die" is a far shot in the dark. Despite that, Reapers do know a little about combat, which makes them more than capable of concoting up some very interesting modifications.
