— Yatzil (at least thats what we call him) is a semi-god that represents the neutralness and lack of care in the humanity. He works aside to the three gods as a grim reaper, taking people who recently died to the Land of The Remembered or the Land of The Forgotten. He also helps writing the stories in the Book of Life. His backstory is unknown, he says he doesn't remember anything about it, also isn't quite open about it. He's quite a shy and closed person, he can be quite vague sometimes, hopefully as time sets in, he feels more comfortable in speaking. Though, he seems to be close to the rulers of the two afterlife lands, La Muerte and Xibalba. Be patient with him.

What are your hobbies, Yatzil?

— " I really enjoy writing when I can. I myself don't have a lot of uhm... personal works of poems, I spend my time writing other people's stories in the Book of Life, but I still find it fun. "

(He pauses, but still not done talking.)

— " I don't know if this counts as a hobby, but I sometimes like going to a really high place in the Land of the Remembered and observing the parades from afar. Sometimes I even get distracted in my own thoughts. "

Do you have any humans you're fond of, Yatzil? Who's the celebrity you admire the most?

— " Hm, not that I remember... I don't know, really. I guess I don't pay much attention to them as I should be paying. "

(He looks down, his expression seeming upset.)

— " Sorry, I tend of not having any close relations to people I don't know of... at least for a good while... So these questions are a bit hard to answer. "

Gave you talked to other gods or spirits outside Mexican frontiers?

— " Not yet... To be honest, I don't really know a lot of other people or gods and I kinda prefer it to stay this way. I feel like it would be a lot awkward, both for me and them... I'm definitely not too good at conversations, not used to meeting someone new and all that... it's hard. This limits a lot of things for me... I wish I could grow out of this. "

What's your crow's name? Can he talk or mimic speech? Have you taught him any tricks?

— " His name is Garaitz. It means 'victory'. For now I've only taught him a few common words like 'hello', 'yes', 'no'. He arrived recently and just started hanging around with me... I'm quite surprised he learns things faster than I expected. "

(Suddently, the crow landed on Yatzil's shoulder and he pet it's head.)

— " I've been also trying to teach him this trick where he kind of uhm... Rolls around my arms. I- I'll show you. "

(He then snaps his fingers at the crow, directing it to go to his hand. He then bends over and the crow rolls from his left arm, to his back, to his right arm. He then gets a treat from a pocket around his coat and gives it to the crow.)

— " I might teach him more of these. "

Which one of the four kingdoms (Land of the Remembered, Forgotten, Unknown and Cursed) is your favorite?

— " No doubt, the Land of the Remembered, even if it's a bit overwhelming, I like the energy of it . I haven't been to the Land of the Unknown, nor the Land of the Cursed, though but... I don't like being in the Land of the Forgotten. I spent so many decades rotting in there... I'd prefer to avoid it at all costs. "

(He sighed and looked away for a moment, unsure if he should continue speaking.)

— " Of course I have exceptions, I only go there when I really need to. I'm afraid my body will end up vanishing away, even if I'm... immune to it, kind of. "

[gardeniareaper]

What's the nicest thing the gods have ever done for you?

— " Hmm... there were, of course, a lot of things that they've done to me, I must say... "

(He looked away in thought.)

— " I know this answer would be quite obvious but uhm... I'll still be very grateful for them turning me into a sort of... demi-god, if that's how it's called. It's like they've saved me... I- I really like working besides them and just... helping them in general. They're special to me in a way. "

What's your favorite food, Yatzil?

— " Hm... that's a hard choice... "

(He paused for a minute, placing his hand on his chin.)

— " Well, I prefer sweets, so I'd probably say uhm... churros are my favorite. Although I enjoy a lot of other things but... I wouldn't remember them now. "

(He nodded his head and tried to smile, even if he knew it wouldn't be so apparent.)

[gardeniareaper]

— Yatzil has a crow! It just randomly appeared one day and started following him around. He doesn't seem to mind it, might quite enjoy it's presence.

(That's not his crow. He's annoyed about it. You can barely see it, though. He doesn't know how to express his emotions.)

hello yatzil: what is your favorite color and why

— " Hm... I like colors whose tones are closer to white. Or brown-ish. "

(He pauses for a moment, looking away in thought.)

— " I like them because they're warm colors, though not warm like red to yellow, if you know what I mean. They give this sensation of... Uhm... being calm and being neutral... that's how I can describe it. "

Sartana handed a scroll at Yatzil. "Hola, Yatzil. I know that I am still exiled and that my parents won't talk to me, but... Can you give this letter to my siblings?"

She looked away, trying to conceal an underlying sadness. "I... Kinda miss them. They are great guys."

— " Hola, Sartana. "

(He greeted her, in a quiet tone, taking the scroll in his hands, listening to what she had to say and nodding in understanding.)

— " Don't worry, I can help you with that. I'll let them know you sent it. "

(He nodded, once again. His expression was blank as always, but he tried to make an effort to show empathy towards her.)

— " I'm sure your siblings also miss you. If you need something else, don't hesitate to let me know. "

— " Greetings, everyone. My name is Yatzil and I am... the guide of the death. I haven't talked to anyone new in a while, so... uhm... feel free to ask me questions or just start some chit-chat if you'd like. I will try to be as open as possible. "
