the VEIL is a shimmering liminal rift that overlays our world like heat mirage. it becomes perceptible during moments of critical physiological failure. most notably during cardiac arrest, massive trauma, neurological collapse, or ██████████.the moment a patient crosses into unstable condition, localized thinning begins. if left unchallenged, the breach widens.
only trained VEIL RESPONSE CORPS (VRC) responders are capable of perceiving the VEIL in active conditions. this perception is acquired through:✱ controlled exposure protocols
✱ initiation conditioning
✱ accumulated field experienceunauthorized civilians cannot access or perceive this layer under natural conditions.
entering the VEIL is dangerous and metabolically taxing. symptoms may include:✱ dissociation
✱ memory drift
✱ temporal displacement
✱ spiritual fatigue
✱ ██████ █████time behaves differently within the VEIL. one minute of CPR may feel like hours of exertion to VRC responders.
the following phenomena are routinely observed:✱ time distortion (elasticity)
✱ emergence of REAPERS surrounding patient body
✱ dual-existence of patient: physical form + spiritual overlay
✱ altered appearance of VRC responders: self-projection manifests around identity/core belief
✱ treatments must be administered simultaneously in both planestactical focus must remain grounded in life-saving protocol.
emotional or symbolic manifestations are not to override medical priority.

the following ranks designate operational roles within the VEIL RESPONSE CORPS (VRC), assigned to emergency medical responders trained in both physical and metaphysical intervention. all personnel are responsible for preventing premature soul loss due to REAPER interference through medically-grounded spiritual resistance protocols.
CADET WALKER
✱ equivalent: EMT trainee
✱ role: Observer and apprentice. not cleared for direct VEIL exposure. may accompany linewalker units under supervision. begins basic exposure conditioning and psychological veil-prep.LINEWALKER
✱ equivalent: EMT-B / BLS unit
✱ role: first responders trained in shallow VEIL traversal. stabilizes patients, initiates spiritual defense via treatment. operates in two-person ambulance crews.LINEWATCHER
✱ equivalent: EMT supervisor
✱ role: veteran linewalker with leadership authority over shift units. commands linewalker squads during active calls and coordinates escalation procedures. oversees VEIL exposure thresholds for all on-scene personnel.
PALEDIVER
✱ equivalent: paramedic / ALS unit
✱ role: deep-VEIL responder trained in high-risk spiritual extractions and advanced care. engages high-threat REAPER entities, performs complex interventions such as RSI, field transfusions, or soul anchoring injections.GRAVEWARDEN
✱ equivalent: paramedic supervisor
✱ role: elite field leader with decades of experience and deep VEIL resilience. called for mass-casualty scenarios, Class V+ REAPER emergence, or pattern-based death anomalies. may possess unique spiritual countermeasures not publicly documented.GRAVEWATCHER
✱ equivalent: medical director / operational commander
✱ role: administrative and spiritual head of the VRC within a designated territory. sets doctrine, reviews post-mortem veil-logs, liaises with civilian agencies. rumored to have direct contact with DEATH's emissaries under controlled conditions.
cadet walker ▸ linewalker ▸ linewatcher ▸ palediver ▸ gravewarden ▸ gravewatcherprogression based on combination of:✱ medical training & field hours logged
✱ VEIL exposure resilience
✱ peer nomination & command approval
✱ survival of coded high-threat encounters (class II REAPER or higher)
✱ psychological screening & oath renewalEach promotion carries increased metaphysical burden.
Mortality risk adjusts accordingly.
