So Artfight is soon and this year I finally intend to join! Today they'll be announcing the teams. So I've been uploading some characters and I have done an updated ref sheet for Yal! I'm currently doing one for Mewn also. I may also need to sit down and do a suitable one for Mudd too (as she had two 'forms'). Mostly these are character that have changed a bit since I've first drawn them, or would seem confusing to people without a ref sheet.
Yal info:
Yal is a traveller and priest of many faiths and likes to collect and share in religious knowledge of any kind. Yal is a prophet worm, his goal being to go across the universe and experience various religions and be a wandering priest to many and who goes around studying, experiencing and partaking in all religions to achieve a form of enlightenment. If you were to ask about who or what he believes in, his answer would be 'life, death and the universe itself'. However, he'll always hold a personal prayer and belief for the worm god of hope and rebirth. Life it'self is ouroboros and Yal finds he can believe in that.
He's a great character to inset into your own world building regarding religions and have him partaking in them. He's a scholar and willing to experience other cultures even if they are very different to his own.
He's a very gentle and kind soul, and this can put him at odds with certain aspects of religion. Religion that calls for unkindness and bigotry are easier for him to disavow if it's at odds with core teachings (be kind to others, not to judge, etc.). But animal/human/sentient being sacrifice is hard to ignore when it's a core part of the teachings. He'll partake, but carry immense guilt about it (especially in sheep/goats, which he feels are far too familiar). So Yal's personal demons will involve the various guilts surrounding practises that go against his core beliefs and caring aspects of his personality. Often they will take all the evils of the religions and come to him in the form of the sacrificial beats he may have helped to end the life of. But he's learnt to deal with his demons and offer them tea, for it's his burden to bear.
Could be a form of worm angel. He's bereft of anger and seems to survive almost anywhere with a cheerful attitude. No one has seen him flight though, but he will flap his 'wings' and they assist with no gravity/water.
