The UG exists as a separate plane where the Composer can judge the worth of men.
Within it are Reapers and human Players. It is infeasible for the Composer to judge all of humanity by himself, so a filtering system utilizing the Reapers was created: the Reapers' Game. Reapers act as a test, weeding out unfit Players.
Upon becoming a Reaper, one's physical body changes, gaining incredible strength and an extended lifespan.
As Reaper and Player alike progress through the Game, engaging in Imagination-driven combat, their Soul is refined.
Soul is abstract matter revealed through Our research into life and death, and a component in the makeup of the atmosphere, humans, will, thought-all phenomena.
As Reapers execute the Game, they undergo a process of evolution, from grunts to officers to the Composer.
However, Reapers that follow the ideal route are rare, and most are erased by Players.
Reaper or Player, those erased within the Game disperse the mind and spirit housed within their flesh in the form of Soul. Thus, they are erased only from visible existence: their Soul persists in the UG until gathered and tied together according to a new code.
This new code is, essentially, Imagination. Given sufficient Imagination, any form is possible, be it a pin or a Reaper.
Variations in this code cause the Soul to manifest in different forms.
In other words, humans, Reapers, and Noise are all entities formed of Soul. The only difference is their code.
And what are Noise? Entities without conscious will, only the drive to multiply. Thus, they constantly thirst for Soul, attacking Players and possessing humans in the Realground.
Soul consumed by Noise is destroyed, even if the Noise is erased.
Thus, possessed humans often exhibit a rush of euphoria immediately after the Noise is removed.
Though untested, the same would likely hold were a Player or Reaper possessed.
