Formless as the abyss

Description

"From the slag of existence rose"
"A being whose reason not even it knows"
"It forever lives to die infinite deaths"
"It has suffered forever the drawing of last breaths"
"This being's search has always persisted"
"Towards a creation, that never existed"

This is my persona from since I was small. Qyoohoowin of the nothing filled. A character who continues to half exist, knowing why it does yet not understanding the reason.

This picture has a pretty long winded, and honestly, very tragic story behind it, one that i've tried time and again to write but can't properly place. It is no deity, or demon, it simply is there, feeding off of the minds of sentience inorder to keep to himself a form. A being formed and sustained solely by imagination.

Though its form is finite, his wings can change and formJust about anything. However it has as much control over these as one has the ability stop their heart. It simply must succumb to whatever fate hands to it and make due.

As for how it exists, well that isn't a question I can answer clearly. So I'll explain it in a way one of my teachers told it to me.
"Take a piece of lined paper, and fold it over and over upon itself. On each fold draw a little character in pencil, and then fold the paper upon itself completely. Notice how even though the characters are close, they cannot actually interact, or jump from one fold to another. That is how constricted by time and space we humans are. But imagine a being not drawn in pencil, but instead drawn in wet ink. If you fold that paper upon itself, you would have a print of each character on each fold. Now these same 'you' can interact, and now you have multiple 'them's' on the same fold. And if you erased one of these characters, that would in no way affect the other 'you' besides maybe a bit of smudging, but they would still remain. That is what it would mean to live without the constraints of time."

Not sure if that explains anything, but that is how I imagined this character when I was little. An inkblot, amongst pencil drawings.
