The Zombie Knight / int_106f1a77	comment	A Form You Are Comfortable With: Reapers are basically imaginary. They don't have a "true" form and those who can see them perceive them exactly as they expect a reaper to look. (Hector sees them as skeletons, Roman as crows, Geoffrey as basically human, Helen as ghosts.) Garovel explains this very early in the story:

Later, when chased by the police, he is so frustrated that he deliberately breaks a cop's arm. He's pretty horrified when he realizes what he's done.

The Zombie Knight / int_1e2af48	comment	Trapped in Villainy Colt, sort of. He has very compelling reasons to obey Joseph Rofal, but he wasn't exactly a good guy to begin with. After teaming up with Hector, Colt's lack of obvious remorse for killing innocent people still serves as a point of conflict between them. Lawrence doesn't want to go along with the traitor Vanguard's plans, but his reaper Dergoz forces him to and threatens to release him if he doesn't. All of House Blackburn. After Ibai Blackburn, the long-awaited heir, turned out to be an aberration, Parson Miles started blackmailing the Blackburns. If Ibai's existence should become known, he would certainly be killed by the Vanguard, so his parents did as Miles told them. Thirty years later, they're in so deep that there's no chance for peacefully resolving the conflict.

The Zombie Knight / int_2222a43e	comment	Nebulous Evil Organisation: Several. The Rofal family. Under Joseph Rofal the family business was basically The Syndicate, controlling all of the criminal underworld of Brighton. Geoffrey only wanted to cause harm and destruction and nearly killed the organization. Damian Rofal's goals are as of yet unknown, but he is definitely more dangerous than he seems. Even Abolish seem to fear him. The Pancake House Five seem to be this at first. Their true goals are still unknown, but Roman at least is willing to do anything to protect his country and teams up with Hector. Abolish. Waging and starting wars in order to obliterate the human race is pretty evil. The Vanguard are portrayed in a more positive light, but they are just as dangerous. As of the seventh Oath, we might just as well add the Vanguard to this list. They might not be evil, but no-one can tell anymore and their goals are definitely nebulous.

As the quote under Immortality Begins at Twenty states, most servants choose to age well into middle age so they get taken seriously. However, Parson Miles is a notable exception. He looks like a young man, but is in fact one of the oldest and most powerful servants around.

Hector hasn't appeared in chapters 77 through 81, more than one month in real time. Colt has been gone for quite a while (chapter 48, posted in December of 2013), presumably spending most of his time with his children and not being bothered by Abolish. Damian Rofal was last seen disappearing with Geoffrey's corpse (chapter 34). Damian pops up again in chapter 113, nearly one and a half years later in real time. And he disappears again almost immediately along with Dunstan Rofal. Geoffrey's corpse still hasn't been seen again.

The Zombie Knight / int_37fcf16	comment	Death Is Cheap: Servants are basically immortal. Sure, they may get killed, but they're usually alive and kicking a little while later. Averted with the reapers: They can die, and permanently so. They also take a lot longer to recover from injury. Played straight with Colt. After Geoffrey kills him, he stays dead for about one chapter until a reaper who just so happens to be close by revives him. Averted, so far, with Geoffrey. He is still dead, but we'll see how this plays out. Lampshaded here by Colt after killing Zombie Stoker. Though the trope is actually (probably?) averted with Stoker since he's dead and staying dead according to Garovel.

The aberration Ibai Blackburn has the power of true pathless teleportation, but as of his first appearance his maximum range is only a few dozen feet, so he has to jump repeatedly to go any great distance. He seems to prefer this method anyway, as it lets him enjoy the view.

The Zombie Knight / int_42224ac2	comment	The Good Kingdom: Atreya is a monarchy, currently ruled by Queen Helen. It's a rather small country and hasn't been all that important up to this point. It stays out of the waging wars and doesn't allow practices like slavery that are still common in other parts of the world. However, Abolish try to draw Atreya into the war by forcing (or replacing) the King and Queen. At the end of the second Oath, Helen is on the run and Abolish try to torture her husband into obedience. With the seventh Oath, Abolish has been driven out of Atreya for the time being, Helen has returned into power and the war with the neighboring country has been averted.

Due to Colt's personal problems, Rofal gained leverage over Colt and forced him into working for the Rofal family.

The Zombie Knight / int_844b6779	comment	Super Mode: A reaper can give their servant a temporary boost, making them stronger, faster, immune to pain, and trigger the ability to regenerate. One boost lasts for about thirty minutes until it needs to be renewed. This is the reason why a servant can only regenerate when their reaper is present (or has given them the boost beforehand). The sixth Oath introduced the concept of hyper states, which are even more superpowered than normal servant fighting mode. See above under Deadly Upgrade. It basically allows a servant to use different types of abilities such as: transfiguration+materialization/alteration+integration combo allows a servant to become a Elemental Embodiment, and the materialization/alteration part can be neglected entirely, as demonstrated by Sanko. Then again, there are limits to that, too, such as compatibility and the fact that a servant doesn't really "gain" another ability, it's just the limits of their existing ability that are broadened.

The Zombie Knight / int_8b1a664	comment	Kill All Humans: Apparently, this is Abolish's goal. They try to create as much destruction as possible, killing every last human being in the process. Their preferred method seems to be to start wars, but they are definitely not opposed to killing humans directly. Their reasons for this aren't particularly clear, but Garovel thinks it's because the reapers want to move on to the afterlife, too. As long as there are humans, the reapers have to fulfill their duty of ferrying their souls. So for the reapers to be able to pass on, all human life has to be destroyed. Yes, this logic is as bad (in both senses of the word) as it sounds.

The Zombie Knight / int_8ba9512b	comment	Our Zombies Are Different: All servants are technically undead. They died, and the only thing keeping their soul attached to their bodies is their reaper. They don't exhibit any of the usual signs of zombieism, though: No craving human flesh or mindlessness. Though it is hinted at that should a reaper be seriously injured, the servant's mind might take damage. Also, the Abolish reapers seem to prefer their servants mentally disturbed to the point of mindlessness. In chapter 42, we get to see what happens to a servant after their reaper is killed. What remains of them seems to act like very fast, very strong zombies.

The Zombie Knight / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: Every Oath (major plot arc) contains wham of differing levels. The end of the third Oath deserves special mention: Hector's wanted for murder, his father is dead, his mother never wants to see him again, most of his friends were killed and the rest are terrified of him, and he has to leave his hometown for good. The fact that the story's major Big Bad so far is dead is relatively minor in comparison. The seventh Oath basically changes the whole balance of the story. It turns out that the Vanguard aren't actually good people. For some reason, they are hunting Gema Elroy (who is barely more than a child) and are ready and willing to kill her whole family — who happen to be Vanguard themselves, but what's a little betrayal among friends? Oh, and did we mention there's a whole different civilization living under the earth?

It only gets worse from here on out: When the school called his mother about his absence from school, she offers him a stack of pre-written excuses and doctor's notes with this comment: When he was ten years old, the familiy moved towns and they sort of forgot to take Hector with them. He stayed behind and his parents called the police only after a week of his absence. After Geoffrey takes Hector's father's body, he taunts Hector by telling him that his father never loved him anyway. It's unclear whether Geoffrey just wanted to get a reaction out of Hector though.

They can regenerate any injury on the fly, but destroying their brain actually kills them temporarily and their reapers have to revive them, costing them several crucial moments in battle. Interestingly enough, to actually get rid of a servant, you have to avert this trope. No matter how thoroughly you kill them, as long as their reaper is alive, a servant can always regenerate. Aside from taking out the reaper, the only way to disable a servant permanently is to put the servant's Brain in a Jar so the reaper can't regrow their body or respawn them someplace else.

Killed by Geoffrey at some point in the process of switching bodies. Most of Hector's friends from school. Killed by Geoffrey. Geoffrey Rofal.

His reaper Nize was killed and he became an insane soulless husk, forcing Hector and Colt to kill him. Nola, Andres and Tessa. Killed in the Battle of Rathmore. Mariana Elroy. She allowed her reaper to release her soul so her deceased son Marcos could be revived as a servant. Socorro Garza and her reaper. Killed by Parson when confronting the Rainlords.

When a reaper and their servant have achieved high enough soul synchronization, they might be able to merge their souls and become temporarily nigh-unstoppable. Their power reaches Game-Breaker levels and they can use other abilities the servant usually doesn't have. However, the hyper state is very hard to control and takes such a high toll on their bodies and minds that they might even die.

When her servant powers kick in, it turns out she's a mutation user. Mutation is very hard to control and her first involuntary bout of power has grown her several horns on her head.

Notable examples include: Hector. Driven to Suicide by his loneliness and uncaring parents. Colt. Grew up in a foster family, never exactly bullied, but still beat up by the other kids. Later lived with a woman who was abusive towards him and their children, nearly got thrown in jail for the attempted murder of their children that she commited, only to be "rescued" by Joseph Rofal and subsequently forced to work for the Rofal family because his children were being held hostage by Rofal. Stoker. Grew up in a poor country, though his family was rich. That is, until the wars started. His family had to flee and lost everything, only for everyone but him to be killed. For years, he and a bunch of other kids lived as bandits in the woods, until they tried robbing the wrong guy who turned out to be the co-leader of Abolish. More or less ended up as a servant for Abolish without conviction. Also implied to have been raped by the captain of a slaver ship. Roman. Orphaned at a young age, homeless for many years. Ended up as a thief, though apparently a pretty good one considering the wealth he accumulated.
