Black Star



Black Shooter is the term used to refer to souls who are tasked with hunting and purifying souls in the Threshold. The souls utilized in making Black Shooters are stagnant, but undergo an unknown process that destroys their ego, and transforms them into a Black Shooter.

Black Shooters commonly have a familiar-like creature that accompanies them in their duties, and these creatures transform into the Black Shooter's weapon if the need arises.

It is revealed that Black Shooters are considered as dispensable tools that is often disregarded when they revert to becoming a stagnant soul.

There are currently around two million Black Shooters in Hazama, but apparently the majority of them are 'corrupted' in some way and currently cannot cope with the amount of stagnant souls in Hazama.

Observations

 * It seems that Black Shooters are always female.
 * A possible effect of this transformation is amnesia; however, this is not confirmed.
 * According to Ram, if a Black Shooter is consumed by fear or is killed, it will become a stagnant soul.
 * The familiar-like creatures seem to be responsible for their Black Shooter and can aquire a new partner at will (e.g Nico suggests to Ron that he should get a new Black Shooter as Rock is showing emotions).
