Mercury of the Mist

'Dead people don’t get to have names. It’s just the remnant memories that they keep it around for. Do you think that a woman speaks to the corpse of her dead husband? No, she speaks to his detachment when she washes the dishes, telling him of her day. Do you think a father still sees his deceased daughter everyday? No, but he kept her name to put on her headstone. No one will think of you when you die, and no one will speak to you as if you’re still here, so you do not deserve a name.’

A Reaper is destined for Hell. Gaining powers, eating monsters, it's all just a part of the job. Even a man who cannot remember his past can handle it.

Mercury Violet Mist is a man destined to wed death, so he thought he may as well gamble his life away. The rewards was power, but also a one-way ticket to the nine circles of Hell. He can capture the souls of that which he kills and use their abilities, but there's a twist. There's always a twist.

If he is perceived by others as anything but as a woman, his powers won't work.
