Gallows

Gallows, a spectral figure of legend, is a grim reaper of sorts, though one who operates outside the traditional bounds of Death's dominion. Once a mortal gunslinger, she defied Death's grasp on multiple occasions, cheated the gallows time and again, only to be finally claimed by the grim reaper and bound to its eternal service.

Now, she stalks the shadows of the city, a vigilante with a macabre purpose. Her mission: to reclaim the souls of the newly deceased, those who have somehow slipped through the cracks of Death's design. These souls, often those of the unjustly slain or those who have cheated their fate, are not destined for the peaceful afterlife. Instead, they are marked for a different, more sinister fate.

Gallows, with her uncanny ability to sense the unnatural deaths and the souls that linger, hunts these lost souls with relentless determination. Armed with a spectral revolver, a relic from her mortal life, she drags these souls back to the Underworld, where they will face the consequences of their actions, be they just or unjust.

Her past as a gunslinger has shaped her into a formidable force, her skills honed by years of survival and combat. She moves with the grace of a phantom, her presence barely perceptible, yet her impact is undeniable. Her methods are often brutal, her justice swift and unforgiving. Yet, there's a strange sense of honor to her actions, a twisted code of morality that guides her every move.

Some whisper that Gallows is a harbinger of death, a grim reminder of mortality. Others see her as a protector, a guardian who prevents the souls of the innocent from wandering the mortal realm, lost and vulnerable. But one thing is certain: Gallows is a force to be reckoned with, a spectral avenger who walks the line between life and death, justice and retribution.
