The Kumakatok were omens of death in the Philippines, and they would knock on the doors of those fated to die. There are three of them, two old men, and one young girl — Mallory happens to be that young girl. Appearance: [hider=True Form] [img] http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b518/ThetaOswin/Mallory%20cloaked_zpsidnhg41k.jpg[/img][/hider] [img] http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b518/ThetaOswin/Li%20Ji-Eun_zps0d0aatas.jpg[/img] Personality: A strong and confident young woman, she’s determined to make her way in the world. Witty and ambitious, she is very calm and decisive, but with a dark sense of humor. She does, however, have a guilty pleasure in gossiping and hearing secrets not meant for her. Abilities/skills: She has the ability to postpone death for up to thirty seconds for another individual, can limit interaction with physical objects when in true form, senses who is near to death, able to mimic the powers of a ghost (mild telekinesis). She can “read souls” so basically, she can know if someone has sold their soul and where they’re likely to end up. Occupation: She’s a receptionist at a chiropractor, as student loans are still a burden. Occupation based on beast: Since she’s a door knocker, some of the various gangs will ask for her to go and inform people that death is imminent. She basically is the person who sends out the warning messages for the beast mafia. Strengths: Intelligent, light on her feet, can quote Oscar Wilde, able to discern the truth quickly, calm, decisive, and relentless. Weakness: Iron and salt will have her be down for the count. In her true form, if someone removes her hood, she is basically rendered useless and will be no more useful than a vegetable for ages. If she gets too emotional, her powers will go out of control in a hilarious meltdown. And finally, each town she goes to, if someone is near death, she MUST go knock on their door, or she’ll get extremely weak. Her sense of humor can be off putting as well at times. History: Her mother married Mallory’s father when he was rather old, and never caught on that he wasn’t who he seemed. Once she had Mallory and saw the thing she gave birth to, she screamed in fear and terror, looking at the form of a Kumakatok underneath the cloak. Luckily for Mallory and her father (or perhaps unluckily?), her mother quickly died in childbirth, right after Mallory’s father began knocking. Since then, she was raised by her father and her uncle, other Kamakatoks. They traveled the world, with Mallory being raised in Egypt for the majority of her teenage years, as her father and uncle worked on an archaeological dig, attempting to learn more about their own kind. Her childhood years were fairly uneventful, except for on one occasion where she was lost inside of a crypt, and had to turn into her true form in order to merely glide through the walls to find her way out. The other archaeologists in the team regarded Mallory as family, and ended up raising enough money to send her to NYU. Living in New York by herself, Mallory has a small apartment and rooms with a human girl named Eleanor. The two of them are mildly close, as both of them study at NYU. Just like her father and uncle, Mallory is hoping to become an archaeologist —and perhaps move to a town where she doesn’t spend her entire evenings knocking on doors to warn people of impending death. It makes her a bit tired in the morning, and cranky, of course. Given that money doesn’t go too far for a school like NYU, she took up a job as a receptionist, watching people trot inside to receive a back adjustment each day. She hardly cares about her work, and spends most of her time reading about dig sites. Her job for the “beast mafia”brings in some extra cash as well, causing her to be expected to graduate debt free.

She loves to read famous works of literature, with her favorite playwright being Oscar Wilde. She knows just about every expression about death and has lengthy opinions on all of them, despite hardly ever being in contact with her mother, the Angel of Death. Her wit helps to bring a lot of confidence to her, but given that no one can recall when the last door knocker died, she perhaps has earned the right to be cocky. Additionally, her presence is a calm one. She is decisive and firm in her decisions, even if her aura does have a tendency to frighten humans. One of her favorite pastimes is listening to idle gossip, especially when it comes to secrets that were not meant for her ears. For example, Mallory knew about the impending apocalypse before some of the angels did--a fact that she continues to feel very prideful about. Her pride can lead to some stubbornness, but she hasn't been in a situation yet truly where her pride has been tested. [hr][hr][h3][b][i][color=#a64dff][center]History[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [b][color=#a64dff]History:[/color][/b] Azrael, the Angel of Death, has many children. The most famous are the reapers, beings who collect souls when it is time for them to move from this world to the next. Lesser known are the kumakatok, also called the door knockers. Believed to be Filipino legend, they are omens of death to come. No less than an hour before the time of one's demise, one of these death spirits will knock on the door thrice, and from that point, one's fate is sealed. Only three door knockers exist, no matter what. If one dies, another arises almost instantaneously. There are always two old men and one young girl. The pattern never varies. The kumakatok have extraordinary abilities as well--they can postpone someone's death for up to a minute, consciously control whether their body is corporeal when in their true form, sense which individuals are nearing death, mimic the abilities of a ghost, such as telekinesis, and know where each soul is fated to go. But as strong as they are, they are just as weak. They are vulnerable, like many spirits, to iron and salt. But additionally, if the hood of a door knocker is removed, they become completely paralyzed and slowly perish. And lastly, if they do not fulfill their duties and knock on the doors of those fated to die...Well, no one is quite sure what happens--they go into a mad frenzy. No one has cared to see what happened next. Mallory is perhaps unique for a kumakatok. With a pendant gifted to her from her mother, Azrael, she can assume human form and move throughout human society. The girl is a wandering spirit at heart, wanting to see the world, and hoping to somehow have something akin to a 'normal' life. Whereas humans have an afterlife waiting for them, there is no such afterlife for the kumakatok. It frightens her.
