King In Yellow profiles/verse creation

[ShockingPsychic]

Howdy! Some of you may be familiar with The King In Yellow, a collection of short stories published in 1895.

Perhaps the most well-known and iconic aspect of these stories is their repeated portrayal of European romance. Kidding, if you know these stories, you know them by the titular eldritch-before-eldritch-was-a-thing antagonist. He's since been used in a variety of cosmic/psychological horror stories ever since Lovecraft and Derleth got their hands on him.

Here is his potentially underwhelming WIP profile. References and scans coming soon! I tried to be as objective as possible, due to the nature of the story. The only assumption I'm making is that the entity is literal and existent within the context of the stories (which very much seems to be the case in Court of the Dragon...)

I also intend to create profiles for certain other characters, namely Hildred, the Watchman, and that guy with the statue-juice, whatever his name was.

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Looks coo for the outdated Cthullu Mythos, I'm exited for Bastet the Cat lady to be finally added

KIY itself is entirely unrelated to the Cthulu Mythos, the characters are terminology were just later added there by Lovecraft and Derleth (He's known as 'Hastur' in the Cthulu mythos)

This just concerns the OG story collection, not any Cthulu stuff
