| “ | In a world terrorized by slavering shadows and tentacled nightmares, something as innocuous as an additional star in the night sky may be the most prophetic premonition of doom. For wherever the lurid golden light of the planet Carcosa shines... the long, wicked shadow of the King in Yellow is cast. Behind that mask lie echoes of decadence and disorder... masquerades of limitless cruelty and hideous laughter in equal part. |

Summary
Estir, also known as Estir the Unspeakable and The King in Yellow, is one of the three heroines of the comedy-horror Dating Sim Sucker For Love developed by AKABAKA. She is an ancient eldritch horror, an Outer God, and most importantly a "God-King", being the Heir to the Crown of Planet-Star Carcossa, which is, in fact, her true form. She is the embodiment of entropy and disorder, appearing whenever monuments, nations, empires, and relationships stand tall so that she may bring them crumbling down. She especially delights in stealing the devoted followers of other Outer Gods and enslaving them into their court through the Elder Sign, and she holds a particular grudge against her sister Ln'eta, which ends up bringing her in contact with the game's protagonist.
She is an obvious parody of Hastur, a deity from Robert E. Chambers' The King in Yellow, later incorporated into H.P. Lovecraft's Expanded Cthulhu Mythos.

Weaknesses: Supremely haughty, arrogant, and overconfident. Her humanoid projection requires that the light of Carcossa be shining in the sky for her to exist, and as such, she cannot enter dark and enclosed spaces | None notable
