my thumbnail button broke :[ short bio time: Name: Kuolema (Death in Finnish) OR hymyilevä (Smiler in finnish) Gender: It/its Species: ... 1: scene - it going through a tunnel on his way to claim another soul w/ the underworld lighting 2: Bust - this is basically like a uh example of the thing in concept lore abt only being able to see its smile clearly 3: Full - mainly just to get a feel of its design in my style and was pretty bored concept lore thingy(tw: mention of death): - as soon as a wandering soul sees even the smallest glimpse of it they have an overwhelming feeling that compels them to follow it, eventually reaching an underworld type thingy where they'll spend the rest of their afterlife - it is normally seen in the corner of your eye, in dark places - most of the time it likes to play games before eventually leading you to the underworld thing - if you manage to catch a full glimpse of its body, it'll either be standing or sitting there eerily, watching you with its smile being the thing most noticeable (which is where the name hymyilevä comes from) -almost 90% of the time when you see it, you know you'll die soon, having an ability to know when someone's close to death and appears to claim them before the nurturer can come (this cues the name Kuolema) -Names vary on different experiences with it, kuolema is mostly used for when one spirit is talking to another about it, hymyilevä is mostly used when their still alive but have seen it, talking with other alive beings but mostly being labeled as crazy and almost never believed, getting brushed off as them making it up to gain attention. kuolema hymyilevä (both put together) is used rarely among spirits who have named it that due to the two names.
art by me character is made by @TheZoZoI I'm planning on making more entries and writing it a proper backstory soon :]
