The "Grin" Reaper is back!

Well I'm back. As Luis "Smiley" Marquez.
Just to review, I spelled Grim as Grin on purpose, to give the feeling that the Grin Reaper is actually just a "child" (at first he is but he gets older throughout the game). As for "reaping" people, it doesn't matter who you "reap" as long as you follow a list that has specific times and locations and is given to you around the begining of the game. So if you need to "take" John Johnson at 8:30 at the Town Square and succeed that's fine but if you take him at 8:29 or 8:31 you lose points (every second is worth 1 pt); the same goes for locations, If you get him at home instead of the square or something you lose points too.
As for the Reaper's partners, he will have three of them:
Aves (A-v-E-s), the baby raven you bring up during the game,
Sir Stillive (still-I-ve), the lonesome zombie of the round table and
Vampiro (vamp-E-ro), who obviously is a vampire.
(stress the letters in caps, caps mean long sound;
A= ay, E= ee and in this case I= ee)
The RPG fighting part is not in the reaping part for most of the game, but actually in fighting evil spirits that intend to take the souls of humans and enslaving them to vanquish the Reapers, but toward the end of the game you will need the RPG style fighting to reap humans that are possesed by demons.
I will update this as soon as possible.
