☠ character information; [siren's pull]
Character Information
General
Canon Source: Kuroshitsuji
Canon Format: Manga/Anime
Character's Name: Undertaker
Character's Age: Age is undetermined within fandom. Physically around 30, excluding his gray hair.
What form will your character's NV take? This snazzy thing.
Abilities
Character's Canon Abilities: None.
Conditional: If your character has no superhuman canon abilities, what dormant ability will you give them? In the anime, Undertaker is revealed to be a 'fallen reaper', though the details are unclear. In the manga, this fact is likely with quite a bit of evidence to support it, but yet-to-be-comfirmed. Within the world of Siren's Pull, he has a seal that binds his abilities, which will slowly deteriorate with the power of the Pull. Eventually, it will break, giving him back what had been taken away from him. He'll start out with the unconscious and near consistent ability to sense the presence of death as it lingers around an area or a person, either before or after the fact with varying time constraints based on specific circumstances. This ability will slowly get stronger the longer he remains in the city. Along the same lines, he can hear the voices of the dead, and enjoys engaging them in conversation, though they cannot actually hold one. When the seal finally gives under the influence of the world he's now living in, he will begin to reacquire the reaper abilities he lost. In the beginning, he will suddenly be able to sense existences that are out of the ordinary, and have an instant understanding of what someone is on sight. He will also be able to witness the cinematic record (a reel of the dying's memories seen upon death that is used to judge the dying), and gain a nearly immortal existence. As of right now, the only known method of killing a reaper is by means of another death scythe. However, he can still be injured and will feel the normal extent of pain. After a great deal of time and effort, he will slowly gain control over the power to bend general laws of gravity, normally manifesting in reapers as enhanced physical prowess (jumping, running, scaling walls) and hovering. He will also gain the ability to manifest his old death scythe.
Weapons: Nothing, until he gains the facilities of his death scythe, that has the appearance of a classic reaper scythe.
History/Personality/Plans/etc.
Character History: As of right now, nothing is known of Undertaker's past in canon, save for the fact that he was, at one point, a reaper.
(note that everything below is headcanon for the sake of the game)
Undertaker has blurry memories of a human life, of growing up, but they're very broken. He attributes this to the chemicals that he works with dulling his brain. Once the seal breaks, it will cause quite a large rift in his memories, as he will have none of being a reaper, though his existence will tell him that he is. It's bound to cause some strife.
Point in Canon:The end of the Manor House Murders arc. He's last seen performing a burial service for Sebastian, playing along despite the fact that the man wasn't dead, down to the very last detail, and taking great amusement from watching the man 'rise from the grave'.
Character Personality: Undertaker is, above all things, an odd man. While his mysterious and lonesome business breed natural stigma against him, he does absolutely nothing to conflict it. In fact, he does quite a bit to drive it into the opposite direction, to heighten the discomfort and shock of those few guests he gets visits from who are still alive. As such, he often greets and hosts guests in ways that get some sort of reaction out of them, most likely for that reaction alone and subsequently, his amusement. This ends with him crawling from caskets or jars of embalming salts, offering tea in beakers when there's no way to be sure of what was previously in them, and being extremely touchy and morbid in his actions and speech. His voice is raspy from over exposure to embalming chemicals and he uses a very sing-songy tone, no matter the subject of conversation. All of this combined makes for quite an unnerving experience to those who are unaccustomed. For Undertaker, the more dramatic the reaction to the particular sort of show the better. The best living guest of all is most definitely the young Ciel Phantomhive, for whom he does quite a large amount of work. He adores touching the boy knowing that he absolutely hates such contact, and is eagerly awaiting the time that he can design a custom sized casket and lay him in it after giving him the best treatment his shop has to offer. This always ends with pleasant reactions, which just pushes him to continue. The most recently game was to perform a service for Ciel Phantomhive's butler and play along, causing the servants of the house quite a bit of grief. He buried the butler completely, including the headstone and the bell that was traditional in services of that time. However, the man wasn't dead, and Undertaker was rather amused to see everyone's reactions when the man came back to life and rose from the grave.
There are two types of work that Undertaker performs, and is meticulous with the details of both. His front work is most obviously that of a funeral director, which, in that time period, also included performing autopsies for those with questionable deaths. While he treats his living guests like children walking through a house of horrors, he treats his deceased guests with at least a small measure of care. The measure of care is normally directly correlated to who the person was, who their family is, and the method in which they died. He has a hobby and a habit of dissecting guests to take their internal organs for research purposes, but even this is done gently. Secondly, he is an information broker to anyone willing and interested. It is hard to comprehend how much people say at a funeral when they think no one is listening, despite the fact that there is always someone there, someone to make sure that everything goes smoothly. As such, Undertaker hears quite a lot of things that most people wouldn't, and some of what he hears is valuable. Being the observer in order to gain information requires a certain level of neutrality, which, in Undertaker's case, manifests in anything from apathy to sadistic amusement. He never chooses sides, even between right and wrong, save for two very special circumstances: the Queen and the Phantomhive family.
Undertaker hates nothing more than the Crown of England, to the point that he openly speaks out against her despite the trouble that could cause, and even refuses to accept payments for his services in currency. He prefers to barter for both his information and funeral services, generally asking for his payment to be in the form of a joke that can make him laugh. This may be in part to the madness that has no doubt begun to eat away his mind from the chemical fumes he's surrounded with, but it may also be due to the profound lack of human and laughter within his professions. On the other side, he has a strong attachment to the Phantomhive family that dates back to possibly before Vincent Phatomhive. His attachment may be something like loyalty, or it could be a mere morbid fascination with the dark history and dealings of the family. Either way, when a Phantomhive is in need of his services, he goes above and beyond what he would for anyone else. This includes giving the young Earl Phantomhive rather cryptic and insightful advice that is often left unheeded. He seems to know more than he lets on, including the unique relationship between Ciel Phantomhive and his butler, but whether or not that is true is locked behind his Cheshire smile.
Character Plans: Most likely, he will accept his temporary housing, but remain mostly transient, spending the safe, daylight hours roaming the city. He is used to being something of a ghost to society because of his profession, so he will assume that he can be such within this world as well. That may or may not ring true. Beyond that, it will all depend on what information he's able to gather and who is willing to pay for it. He may even start to offer burial services to those who die within this crumbling world. He does, however, have vest interest in medical science and research on the human animal, so that may come into play as well. After a period of time, depending on events, the seal on his abilities will begin to crack, before breaking.
