So okay like you said I have a concept...

Okay this man named Wilson A. Johnson was an infantry man in the civil war of the colonies in North America he was killed in a shooting those many years ago, he has been dead a very very long time and when a 'Reaper of Death' or a Handmaiden of Death was sifting through older souls he found a valiant young soul who sacrificed his life to save a man from being shot to death and the Handmaiden was astounded by the bravery and bravura of the young man and he knew this soul was restless so the maiden had a long conference with Death and they came to the conclusion to release the soul and give him another chance at life but give him the gifts of the dead only minor gifts of course and to shortly provide him with the needed information about the modern world they also deemed him a fellow Reaper of Death and gave him the ceremonial Scythe that grants him Etherealness for a limited amount of time.

He was told that the world needed more heroes and that he needed to reap the souls of evil and banish them from their existences

Johnson had a hard time fitting in the world but got used to it.

He specializes in military combat and he was once a farm boy.

(BTW Sigil love the Avatar Red Mages are awesome!!!)
