Kimryl

""I'm a god, I don't have to modify my behaviour.""

- Kimryl

Kimryl is the sovereign god of Astraria. He is god of (intentional) death, justice, order, vengeance and retribution. Due to how Astraria's monarchy works, Kimryl is actually the King of Astraria while Morlin Valcyne is archduke. He is also the divine source that gives Astraria's rulers their power.

Description
Kimryl is a god, taking the form of a 7 foot 8/9 skeleton, with similarities to pre-podcast Infernal Elves. He has long curling jagged horns, coming back from the forehead, and very sharp silver teeth that appear closer to a canine's than a human's. He has glowing silvery-purple pupils in his eye sockets, and he makes rattling / rustling sounds as he moves. He wears long black robes and lots of jewellery, including on his horns and teeth, with lots of necklaces and rings.

He cannot have facial expressions given he has no muscles, but he does express his emotions through other body language, such as tilting his head unnaturally far to replace a grin.

Personality
He is a sexy bone god who is a bit smug and condescending, and does not have any regard for what is socially expected because he is a god (ie. turning up in people's rooms at night when they're trying to sleep). He does what he pleases and that's everyone else's problem (to an extent). Kimryl is a bit inactive and withdrawn from his own religion, and he doesn't interact with even his closest followers very often. A lot of his decisions are made seemingly because he wants to (he has been stated to find murder funny), though he does also tend to have a greater reason for things and may manipulate situations to his advantage. His movements are very exaggerated because he does not have muscles, so Kimryl twists his face a lot and moves his body in strange ways to get his emotion across.

Leoril Valcyne
Kimryl works with Leoril through the series as his God, giving him more magical abilities when he sees fit. These extra abilities are mostly awarded when Kimryl views Leo's actions as either entertaining or smart, and he appears to give Leo these powers at times that are especially comedic, typically when Leo is naked in bed with a love interest sleeping in the same room (ex: Eleanora Ashthorne and more notably Zed Stonebloom).

Kimryl has been stated out-of-podcast to have a lot to gain from Leo's current situation, and implied that he may have a much bigger role in manipulating the circumstances to be like this for his own personal gain. We currently don't know much about what Kimryl stands to gain from this relationship, but from Leoril's knowledge, he is to "work Kimryl's will on the world" and that will be what Kimryl gets out of this. Likely due to Kimryl's investment in Leo's situation, Leo is the only character Kimryl will manifest in front of by choice to communicate, with other characters like the priests of the Church of Kimryl he is summoned, and with characters such as Mia Sondiss and The Hierophant, he communicates through other means.

Mia Sondiss
Mia Sondiss is working for Kimryl and has been for quite some time. They typically go to places he tells them to go, and has been stated to have been through a lot of harsh circumstances due to following Kimryl's orders. During the podcast, Kimryl sends Mia to go save Leo from being kidnapped and very likely killed, and accompanies him as a bodyguard after this, also by Kimryl's instruction. They do not particularly like the things they have to do for Kimryl, and they are stated out-of-podcast to be fed up with him. Kimryl's feelings towards Mia are presently unknown, but likely finds them useful as he has a long history of sending them to do things for him, which he does not request of any other character we've met in podcast so far.

The Hierophant
Kimryl has been stated out-of-podcast to be fond of Syd (the Hierophant), due to finding him entertaining. He enjoys things like Syd's attempts to poison the punchbowl at the Shakrana family's Beacon party, but does not talk much directly to Syd due to finding Syd quite mean.

The Church of Kimryl
Astraria is a theocracy so everyone (legally) worships Kimryl, though he doesn't seem to have much control over the Church of Kimryl and what they do. The Church of Kimryl has a recurring theme of using bones and necromancy magic, because Kimryl is a skeleton and god of death.

The Stormbringer
Kimryl and The Stormbringer were originally worshipped together but now Kimryl is the only religion of Astraria. Other details about their relationship are unknown.

Morlin Valcyne
Kimryl's relationship with Morlin Valcyne is unknown.
