Kevin Dolak Mallory P.

BACKSTORY {

Not much is known about Kevin's past. A picture of him and his parents can briefly be seen on his fridge, it can be speculated that they have a positive relationship. His childhood was described as neutral.

Around 4 to 5 years ago, Kevin wakes up to apply for a job at the CandyClub. He cleans his teeth and bikes himself there, bringing his resume. Being a successful hire, Kevin signs the contract, dons on the uniform and begins his first day of work there. The store is dirty, so he cleans around the store with a bored expression.

Suddenly, a younger Skid and Pump enter the store, exclaiming "Trick or Treat." Kevin is only confused as it was September, but was greeted with the kids making a mess as a "trick". Kevin tries his best to settle them down but when he couldn't, he bursts in rage and demands to meet their parents. When Skid cries and Pump explains that Skid's Dad had past away, Kevin is taken back and gives the children free candy cans out of sympathy. He apologies for yelling. The children thank Kevin and Pump hands him a bag of bugs in return, causing Kevin to scream as he desperately dusts the bugs and worms off.

Now that 4 to 5 years have passed, Kevin is shown looking at his watch at the CandyClub's counter, tiredly saying "here we go..." as he (presumably) anticipates Skid and Pump's arrival. Soon, Skid and Pump run into the store, staring at the display of candies. Kevin's demeanor becomes more annoyed as he exclaims, "What do YOU kids want?"

However, Skid and Pump are not affected and excitedly asks for three candy cans. Kevin then becomes confused and asks where's the third person is. As Kevin looks up to the same of a window breaking, The Eyes shows itself, screeching with glowing eyes. forcing Kevin to give them free candy.

On another day, Kevin is at the counter of CandyClub, humming to himself until Skid and Pump arrive at the store. Despite being dizzy after being scuffled by Roy, the kids ask for a candy can. Kevin sternly apologies, explaining that they are Halloween-exclusive and it's June 17th, on 2012. When Skid and Pump groan in disappointment, Kevin back tracks and hands them for free, saying that the kids owe him one. As the kids thank him, Pump hands Kevin the sugar from the Candy Dealer. However, Kevin is not aware of any sugar or the Candy Dealer and before he can get answers, Skid and Pump have left to watch TV at Skid's home. Without extra information, Kevin assumes it's drugs instead.

Kevin attempts to think of a solution to make the situation better... until two cops, Jack and John, enter the store. John reassures Jack's mishap about shooting someone by mistake and upon hearing their discussion, Kevin sarcastically blurts out how a cop shooting someone is a surprise, intending it to be an inside thought. However, he still said it out loud and the two cops glare at his response. John notices the "sugar" on the counter and prompts Kevin to explain what it is. Now stressed and stuttering, Kevin says that it's sugar from the candy dealer but his words fall unconvincing as John goes ahead to try the sugar, causing Kevin to stress out further as he feared he'd be arrested.

To John's, Jack's, and Kevin's surprise, it IS sugar. Kevin swiftly moves the situation along by offering free candy to the officers and as they left, Kevin sighs in relief and exclaims how he still has one more day at the CandyClub. Then, two random robbers enter, pointing guns at Kevin to hand over the sugar. Kevin shouts for them to take it and as the robbers leave, Kevin finally says "I hate this job."

On another time, Kevin thanks Robert for buying at the store but as Robert and his friends turn to leave, Kevin immediately sees the stolen candy in Roy's sweater and demands him to stop, reaching for an anti-theft paintball. When Roy yells to run, Kevin throws the paintball anyway which hits an innocent bystander. He apologizes and tries to explain his actions, but the bystanders leave the store, causing Kevin to groan at the messy problem.

He is then approached by Jack and John who hand him a Happy Fella Doll and instructs him to give it to a child as it is a lost item. Kevin, still panicked from their previous encounter, agrees. Jack tells Kevin to stop getting into trouble and when the officers leave, Kevin drops his smile and walks inside the CandyClub.

More worried about the candy Roy has stolen, Kevin tosses the doll on the counter, looking around the store. When he turns back, the doll is missing and the lights are turned off. Convinced that it is Roy and his friends again, Kevin is angered and orders them to come out and reveal themselves. From the counter, instead of a child, the doll (the happy fella), reveals himself with weaponized candy. Kevin is chased around in the store and is stabbed in the leg. He retaliates by throwing the doll off, making a gumball sticky trap, and throwing a bucket over the doll's head. Through the back door, Kevin throws out the Happy Fella Doll out of the building.

He slumps against the back door and lets himself fall on the ground. Finally, Skid and Pump enter the store but are alarmed to see Kevin in such a state. Kevin is too tired to entertain them. Suddenly, Pump runs to get "Bubble band Aids" and sticks it to Kevin's bleeding wound, making him smile and thank the boy. Skid explains that they needed Kevin's help to find their doll which Kevin realises in frustration that it is the same doll that attacked him, forming a small growling sound. When he reveals that he threw it in the back, Skid and Pump thank Kevin and runs off.

Kevin, close to exploding with anger, defuses and says "whatever". The candy aid falls off his leg.

During another time of October 2013, after selling candy cans to two kids, Kevin is greeted by Carmen who makes a sour impression of herself by shooing away the children. He pulls a polite faced and asks what she wanted, only to be met with a snarky "not you." With a tight smile, Kevin grits his teeth until Carmen makes her decision to buy two of everything in the store. When Kevin turns to ask Rick for help, Carmen orders them to hurry up. Kevin gasps at her audacity but continues to fulfill her order with an annoyed expression.

When Carmen leaves, Kevin straightens himself when Skid and Pump arrive to the CandyClub. This time, he wants none of the shenanigans and repeating "no", he turns them around so they can leave. Kevin holds his ground when Pump explained they wanted candy cans, saying that the kids give him trouble every time. The kids are oblivious, making Kevin list off all of the problems they caused, even noticing Bob and listing it as trouble... Quickly, Kevin realises a new and serious problem: Bob.

Kevin, frightened, assumes a more protective figure as Skid and Pump does not know Bob or why he is following them. When Kevin sees Rick quit on the spot, he tries to call for Rick back with no avail. Now faced with Bob who is equipped with a knife, Kevin thinks to use gumballs as a tripping hazard for Bob which initially failed, causing Kevin to trip instead. Skid and Pump helps Kevin back on his feet as he tells them to get outside quickly. All three run through the back door.

Trouble is still trouble, and Kevin is back to nearly exploding. When the kids still want candy, Kevin finds a big box of candy and drops it to them, pointing the way out to them. Under his breath, Kevin mutters and Rick appears to ask if Kevin deals with this every day. Kevin answers back "kinda" but is startled by another devilish figure. Thinking it is Bob again, Kevin throws candy until it turned out to be a person who wanted to report children stealing candy from the unattended store. Kevin runs back in.

On another day, After Kevin finishes the pyramid display of candy cans, Skid and Pump run excitedly into the store which causes it to fall. Rather than lecture them again, Kevin angrily hands them the candy and sighs in exhaust when they leave. Radford enters the store, seeing the commotion and asks Kevin if he needed help with the candy cans.

Kevin and Radford have a brief discussion about Rick quitting on the spot but Kevin can only groan. When Radford offers to help work, Kevin warns Radford about how terrible working at the CandyClub is. Although Radford remains optimistic about selling candy, Kevin corrects him in that selling the candy is not horrible, it's Skid and Pump... who also enter the store.

Thinking that the kids want more candy, Kevin starts to decline them but is genuinely shocked and confused when they hand him a lot of money on the counter. He listens to the children who apologise for never paying and ask for his forgiveness. Kevin gently rejects the money, saying that everything was okay and that they didn't need to pay. However, when Radford offers them free candy instead (that he will gladly pay), Kevin is back to being annoyed.

Behind the kids is Father Gregor who lectures Skid and Pump about candy and to not accept more. Kevin is suspicious of Father Gregor and questions why there was an old man around children. He is cut off by Father Gregor reaffirming that he is their guide, making Kevin nod, unconvinced. When Skid and Pump reveal that Kevin is a friend, Father Gregor gifts holy water to him. Kevin is unfamiliar with holy water and is frustrated when Radford sprinkles the store with it. However, the holy water seemingly "blesses" the CandyClub, causing an influx of customers. Watching Radford runs in the back to find a uniform, Kevin comments how the situation isn't that bad and begins to help the customers out.

During Moloch's rampage, Kevin gets possessed by him and throws out various candy out. He roars at Radford who throws the remaining holy water in his eyes which makes Moloch leave Kevin's body. Kevin is left on the ground, coughing with disheveled hair and heavy eye bags.

On another time, Kevin is interrogated after the police find a candy wrapper leading into the candy shop in Susie's phone doesn't he explain anything and instead calls the children troublemakers and after being yelled at Lila and Jaune he explains the story: The Hatzgang were in the candy store when Susie, Skid, and Pump walked in and Roy said something to Skid and Pump that they headed to the forest and Susie and Roy's friends left with them. Kevin later said to Roy to go after them. He then says that it's been 3 days since he last saw them and that makes everyone shocked, Aaron grabs him by the shirt and forces him to help look for the kids.

He then later seen helping the adults looking for the kids when he accidently trips on a branch and lands on a mushroom making him influenced. While influenced he sees in real life counterparts of the adults which terrifies him and starts running away, bumping onto a live action version of Aspen moor asking if he has seen the kids, he then passes out. He later appearance unconscious, being dragged by Aspen to the cabin in the woods.

Later, he wakes up in aspens cabin only to be jump scared by Ooga Booga, spooked, he runs to the forest in a slightly comical way, struggling, drugged and injured, but he makes it out of the forest. Once outside, Kevin leans on a tree for support and he meets Streber, who was walking down the street and, giving Kevin an annoyed stare, just walks away. The tree Kevin was leaning on moves, making Kevin fall to his face, Kevin, tired and completely annoyed says: "Damn...kids...". }

PERSONALITY {

Kevin is shown to have a dislike for his job, likely due to all of the ways his life goes wrong when he's clocked in. He is also sarcastic and very easily pushed into a state of panic, as shown when John and Jack enter the store and begin to question him on the pack of sugar Pump left on the counter. Kevin doesn't seem to be able to hold back sharp comments, and this gets him into trouble as a result. He usually only talks when he feels the need to. He also appears to like kids, just not Skid and Pump. Kevin emits canine growls when especially angry. }
