Death (mythology): Difference between revisions

[[File:Duroc main.jpg|right|Death's unfinished physical form created from the energy drawn from the deaths of twelve mortals. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dead Man Walking (TV story)|Dead Man Walking]]'')]]When gaining a physical form in the world of the living, Death had the ability to bring forward the death of any mortal. It favoured the dying or nearly dead, but could do the same to healthy individuals if necessary — although it could not permanently kill the immortal [[Jack Harness]], and had no power over undead beings like [[Owen Harper|Owen]]. With a touch, Death could also sap away a mortal's life as he did to [[Martha Jones]], bringing them to extreme old age without actually killing them; however, this effect would reverse itself once Death ceased manifesting in the mortal plane.
