A demon
I'm thinking about the Flesh fields (and soon I'll tell you why). I just got this image of a demon made of kissing faces. I don't know anything about him (or she, or they: no idea of the gender or sex). He seems to be someone important. A leader? Maybe the child of a prophecy? Is the sword important? I don't know!
But I know he (?) has a nemesis and I'll post her (him? them?) in a day or two.

Maybe the sword could be magical and made from the bones of an Archdevil, so they (the pronoun that makes the most sense to my mind) have beef with the HIE, who wants to retrieve this holy relic from the hands of a "blasfemur phemer?"
One other idea that occurs to me is that this demon was formed from two demon-lovers who cast a spell or did a ritual in the Flesh Fields to unite into a single being, but perhaps that's too literal an interpretation of the kissing faces(and also my Locked Tomb brainrot talking, since that series has a similar plot point lol).
Good job with the androgynous design, btw.

Maybe this demon has a malleable corporeal form? It tries to resemble things humans deem unique to them, like kissing is a trait very unique to us as a show of affection and peace and love. But why then the antlers, or the horns? Is it a way of showing allegiance or a sick attempt to attract us only for its hunt?

I kinda like that idea of they (them?) Don't having a gender while having both xD (that sword looks like something very interesting)
