I am getting very far into making a game with 15 unique characters. One of these characters goes by the name “Karma”, titled “The Sheep Demon” (Wow so edgy). I'm trying to avoid real-world religion as a topic in my games, but the idea of heaven, hell, Gods and divinity is a common theme in this one especially.

Each character is associated with a symbol, Karma's is a rotating star inside a circle- referencing a pentagram. Would this be allowed or should I change it? It is just a spinning blue shape behind her, it's not got any sort of detail and isn't used for demonic purposes in the game.

In this character's story mode, there will be mentions of her originating from hell too. Is that okay or would it be best for me to say “The underworld” or something less direct?

Karma is a character in another game I am also making all about her backstory.
Am I allowed to mention how she's heavily associated with sacrifice?

I've come really far with these games and I'm super proud of how they are turning out, so I really want to avoid getting in any sort of trouble over things I can easily fix like these.

Thank you for your help! (Also sorry if I did this wrong, I'm still new to these forum things)

Don't see anything wrong. Don't go too graphic with the sacrifice part though

I think this would be allowed, as long as you don't mention anything graphic and steer clear of controversial topics.
The word is a mild swear. Depending on who sees it, it could get you a warning, but ST isn't too strict with that.
Best to use a substitute just to avoid it altogether.

Assuming we’re thinking of the same word, what do you mean? Isn’t it a fact how some see it as a mild swear except some don’t?

I personally think of it as a mild swear, which is why I didn't say it directly. I try to avoid that risky stuff in general.

To clarify; I was never going to use it in that structure. It was more so “Hi guys we're in hell now lol” or something like that, if it makes any difference

Don't understand; This context doesn't really change the fact that it can be considered a mild swear. From what I've gathered, you should be able to use the word, it just might make people uncomfortable.

Well, it can be a swear or just a noun in different contexts
For example, the hi guys we’re in hell now lol is a noun, as hell here is to describe the place
But “OH MY GOD THE HELL??? ☠️” is a scratch allowed mild swear
