There have been monsters in the world ever since the dawn of time. When a human who has committed a deed worth death is killed, they reincarnate as a soulstealer, demons who can steal souls walking around with human faces and human smiles, living boring human lives. They see stealing souls as a necessity to prevent overpopulation and excess of mortals. However, left unchecked, they will grow soulthirsty, hooked on memories and begging for more.
(let me clarify: by stealing souls, i mean they take over the human's body and steal their memories. when they are done with that body, the old body disappears and "melds" into the new body. the soulstealers steal souls by using "the dementor's kiss." on rare occasions, a soulstealer can sacrifice themselves for the human's soul to return to their old body if they truly loved that human. a soul that is devoured lies dormant inside of a soulstealer. that soul can talk to the soulstealer inside of its body… think of like venom/eddie, except venom has all of the control of eddie's body)
When a soulstealer dies, all of the souls that they have stolen goes to the Library of Souls, where that soul will reincarnate into anotther human being in a couple hundred years.
Scythes belong to an underground society made to prevent the soulstealers from taking more than what they need. The most talented and gifted of teenagers are chosen to be scythes and raised in a secret academy. The soulstealers must hide from them for as long as possible.
So, I was thinking that we could do two scenarios: Either the number of soulstealers suddenly begin to dramatically drop down, causing overpopulation, or the number of soulstealers could suddenly grow and become more ravenous, forcing the scythes to work overtime to vanquish them all.
Rules:
I want this to be a fairly serious RP. No one-liners if you can help it, and please, for the love of god, no Mary Sues.
Swearing is fine, as long as it’s not constant
Romance is fine, and encouraged, as long as: 1. Both parties agree 2. It doesn’t interfere with main plot 3. You don’t get explicit or gross, because no one needs to see that
LGBTQA+ characters are welcome (but also, don’t make everyone the same sexuality. It gets a little old.)
And this should go without saying, but be nice
(i copied and pasted it from the dragon rider RP, in case you were wondering, so no, i did not write the rules)

However, she will not hesitate to kill any scythe that wants to kill her. Always lives out at least 10 years of each soul's lives before moving onto the next one (this is how she's not really caught… she moves around after each soul to avoid suspicion and tries not to take too much). Loyal, but timid when talking to others.

Background/backstory: Was the first person executed in the Salem witch trials for "dubious moral character." (she was actually just wearing a colorful dress lmao go look it up)
