Outcodes: The Goddess & The Revenant

The Goddess Yu Wa is an Outcode variant of Snyk inspired by the Chinese folk goddess Nu Wa, creator and protector of humanity. Yu Wa guards my corner of the multiverse as the embodiment of my creative will: what I want for my own story world is what will be. In the legend of Nu Wa, the goddess uses five colored stones to patch a hole in the heavens causing a great flood. Since Undertale has 7 colors associated with a major part of its world (the human SOULs), I decided to give her 7 stones that help her patch parts (and people) of the multiverse that have broken. Generally, Yu Wa is friendly but detached, a serene being with a time-and-space spanning perspective.

The Revenant is the opposite of serene. Having been murdered by the Bad Sanses across time and space in different timelines or AUs, the bits of code that recorded Snyk's deaths coalesced together from her strong sense of JUSTICE and her ability to use KARMA and created the Revenant. The Revenant isn't a fully sentient being. Her singular drive is to hunt down and eliminate Bad Sanses in the multiverse. She can't be reasoned with or convinced to show any mercy, even by living variants of Snyk. While she won't kill anyone besides Bad Sanses, she will forcefully move others out of her way if they try to stop her. She rarely speaks other than to pronounce her judgment when facing a Bad Sans.
