So... Reapers could've been created out of the primal subconsciousness of an extremely ancient and more than likely extinct race that where this said race's id had very dark and deep fears but they also had the power to create these things out of their id.

So this is what it sounds like to me, we have a person with this power to create anything out of his or her id. This person could be strolling around, happy as a lark, but suddenly, dark and scary thoughts go through his or her mind. The id processes this information and all of a sudden, we have a Reaper. But wait, it gets worse. The id added onto this information, creating a way for the Reapers to "reproduce" by breaking down this person's body and significantly more of their kind into genetic paste that is then processed and combined with incredibly strong metals that produce a 2nd Reaper.

Do I have this right in a nutshell or do I not?
