Yalp

Yalp is a character hailing from Untitled Community Fighting Game, created by Faz Studios as their contribution to the project. He is a sentient set of chattering teeth brought to life under mysterious circumstances, seemingly fighting only for fun.
==Appearance==
Yalp is a set of pink, plastic chattering teeth, with two googly eyes above his jaw serving as his actual eyes. Despite being a simple toy, he has a tongue which is both natural and prehensile. Yalp moves with the usage of makeshift "legs" comprised of various K'nex pieces of differing colors. Overall, Yalp has a very short build, only standing at about two feet in height.
==Personality==
Yalp is somewhat animalistic in nature, easily giving in to his prime instincts without outside interference. Fortunately, he is somewhat domesticated; As long as he is treated well and not threatened, he acts very similarly to an energetic dog, being fond of affection and attention. However, Yalp can be a little rough while playing (albeit unintentionally), and his being unable to speak leaves him unable to communicate with those around him.
When threatened, Yalp's behavior becomes more violent, although his expression leaves his emotions ambiguous. However, he does not go beyond knocking his opponent out, and refuses to kill. After rendering the threat incapacitated, however, he is quick to forgive and forget, usually being friendly with them until he is threatened again.
Yalp doesn't seem to abide by any rules of good or evil; He simply does whatever he feels like doing in the moment. This makes him somewhat easy to manipulate, as he can be tricked into doing anything with the right motivation. He is fiercely loyal to those he considers his allies, though, and once he is aligned to one side of a conflict, he usually stays on it until it becomes clear the movement no longer benefits him, at which point he will simply leave with little fanfare.
==Abilities==
Yalp appears to be able to summon any kind of toy at will and telekinetically manipulate it. This has a variety of purposes; He can spit out spiky jacks as projectiles, use spring-like Slinkies to propel himself into the air, or use toy blocks to create a barricade. There seems to be little, if any, limit to this power.
Aside from his toy manipulation, Yalp also appears to be near-indestructible. He can bounce back from injuries which would be fatal to organic beings, and not even the strongest of blows can cause him to crack. As such, it can be said that Yalp is immortal in a sense; He very likely has a weakness which could kill him, but it has not been discovered as of yet.
==History==
Yalp was once an ordinary pair of inanimate chattering teeth, living a peaceful life in a child's bedroom. One day, however, that changed once Yalp was given the gift of life. Nobody is quite sure how this happened; Much less Yalp himself. However, soon after gaining his sentience, he proceeded to eat a pair of dirty socks before leaving the house and becoming a lost toy.
Eventually, he stumbled across a fighting tournament which caught his interest (although his motives for joining are unknown). Since then, he has been training for the tournament in countless battles, but his boundless energy keeps him coming back to brawl whenever he desires.

Yalp was once your average set of fake toy teeth, but was given life... somehow. Nobody's quite sure, honestly. Regardless, while Yalp now spends his days searching for food and doing whatever his little heart desires, he will never turn down a good scrap!
Yalp is a jack-of-all-trades fighter attack-wise, but exchanges resistance for high mobility. This, combined with his small hurtbox, makes him hard to damage.	Debut: Untitled Community Fighting Game (2021)

==Trivia==
*Yalp's name backwards is "play", a reference to his nature as a living toy.
*Yalp's design was partially inspired by Piranha Plant from the Super Mario franchise and Chomp Chest from Skylanders Trap Team.
*Yalp's backstory mainly being a mystery is a reference to the fact that Faz cannot remember what inspired his character in the first place.
