Idia and Ortho's Backstory - Monster AU

"Monster": The Reaper, Living Puppet Word Count: ~ 0.42K ***This is different than the other ones, different kind of style as the monster types are fairly self explanatory*** Also I'm tired and a day behind so I'm copying and pasting this out of a conversation I had lmao Relationships Mentioned: the Shroud family TW: Chapter 6 spoiler ig, death --------------------------------------

What happens in terms of family is when whoever is carrying the Shroud name has a partner who is in it for the long haul, its this whole ceremony like once the Shroud is sure they would want to marry this person, basically the equivalent of one of the Fates would do a "soul reading" to ensure the two were meant for each other if that got approved, then the Shroud was welcome to "propose". HOWEVER "marriage" is more than just binding, when they get to the "altar" they can choose from new souls who have yet to receive a body - up to three- to have as children that will then be stored in separate pods until they decide they're ready to "have" kids after both say "I do" and the other partner is accepted as a Shroud, they have five to ten years where they can simply be as they are, but when they're ready for their first child, a similar ceremony is held where they open the pod and bestow the soul a body that all the Shrouds of past and present help "summon" basically, their power dictated by how many souls they've reaped. So for the first six months of his life his parents will be present, to keep their life magic pouring into his body enough until it's 100% solid and foolproof. Its around that point that they cannot support themselves anymore, and the technology they've developed will help take care of and raise their child from there as they join the fray of Shrouds "spirits" they get time to recover, and then they can keep reaping souls and if they choose, they can make another child, or just keep saving their energy for when their children are ready for their own families but the point is, Shroud kids are surrounded by the dead/spirits/souls since they were children. They weren't really allowed to meet humans/living creatures until they were 12. Obviously Ortho never made it that far. And for haha angst reasons, yes, Idia's first soul he had to reap was his own brothers and he blames himself for not watching him close enough while they were playing. However, because of Idia's unique abilities and because they're of the same soul line, he was able to contain a low powered version of his soul. While they were unable to give him an organic body, Ortho's soul possesses the puppet/Marionette body his brother made for him. However, he doesn't count as a ghost as the "possession" does not drain him. -----------------------------------------------------
