Ossis

Ossis is a dragon of unknown age, and without a tribe. He currently works under the Children of the Dawn, making offerings to the goddess Xquic to (hopefully) restore his body of his curse of immortality. The Children of the Dawn is a cult focused around sacrificing the rich to gain blessings for the poor.
This page is still under development, as Ossis is still a WIP OC of mine, and it will experience heavy changes in the future. The current version is made simply to introduce the OC and give him grounds of existence on the Wiki. This beta version will also allow me to move onto other projects, such as OCs that I have put more time and effort into, and will also allow people to share their thoughts on the character before he is more carefully developed.

Crack
The sickening sound of bones splitting, shattering, and repairing...
Crack
A scream of terror, pain, suffering...
Crack
Laughs resonating through the stone halls as the dragons laughed...
Ossis's head dropped. He had given up on escape long ago, but now he couldn't even think. The pain was immeasurable, and he was exhausted. Why? Why was he here again? Ah, right, he remembered now. His curse. Immortality was a nasty thing. His bones poked through his skin, and his mouth dripped with blood. He was regenerating right now, sure, but he was suffering. His bones slowly, painfully, retreated into his flesh as he breathed heavily, tears running down his pale white snout. He wanted to die, more than anything. There was nothing left for him in this life.
"Miserable, miserable dragon. This is what you get for wishing for immortality!" One of the dragons shouted, tightening the restraints around Ossis's limbs. He couldn't even fight back, he couldn't muster the strength to move. "You think... I asked... for this?" He asked between heavy breaths, shivering violently as the sickening shlep of his bones sinking into his body rang in his ears. The dragon chuckled, gripping his victim's claws and bending them so far backward that the bones pierced back into Ossis's talon, ripping another scream from his chest without warning.
"I think selfish dragons like you deserve a fate worse than death. A fate worse than death such as immortality. The repeated feeling of pain and suffering without anything to do about it. Chained to a wall, stabbed with every weapon imaginable, this is the fate you deserve." He said, slamming his claws through Ossis's eyes, the squirt of blood and destroyed lenses loud enough for all of the dragons currently present to hear. Ossis didn't scream, not this time. He was too exhausted. He had become numb to the pain. His torturer, who's name he had heard once, ripped his claws from his eyes. "Let's go, lads. He'll starve here." He said, turning around and cleaning the blood from his claws.
Ossis let out a sigh of relief. The suffering was over, finally. But now, he was going to starve to death alone. He was okay with that. He was ready to die, eager even...
== Description ==
Ossis is tall, lanky, semi-muscular, and bone white in color. He has tired, black eyes- a result of countless years of sleepless nights and anxiety weighing him down -that are often described to be similar in appearance to a "dark void" that gives him a more menacing appearance than he deserves. Splattered randomly across his body, Ossis has jagged lines of black scales that give him the appearance of being cracked/damaged, like a fractured bone. His teeth are long and sharp, often poking out of his lips ever so slightly, giving him an angler fish-like appearance. His wings are large, about the same size as a SkyWing's, and share the same cracked/damaged appearance, as his veins appear black. 
After allying with the Children of the Dawn, Ossis is often seen sporting a blood-red cloak with various ritualistic insignia plastered on it in bright green colors. This is not only to openly show his affiliation with the cult, but also to sharply contrast his bone white scales and help him stand out amongst other dragons. The cloak is clipped together around his neck with a skull-shaped pendant, and he wears a matching pair of skull earrings made from dragon bones. He sports a couple of shining silver rings with glittering, blood-red rubies embedded within them, another way for him to stand out in big crowds. 
Ossis is often described to have the facial expression of someone who is "far-off" or "distant," as he never sports a smile, or any kind of facial expression, and seems to always be locked in a permanent state of eerie calm, despite his endless years of torment and misery. He seems to feel nothing and, even in the face of perceived death, his face remains perfectly calm and collected. 
== Personality ==
Ossis is cold and blunt, never shying away from giving other dragons the cold, hard truth about his feelings. He will openly insult other dragons, often without even noticing, as a result of his brutal honesty and lack of consideration for the way his words affect others. He is emotionless and empty, never showing the slightest amount of emotion or feeling much of anything, a result of his mental torture and the destruction of his psyche as a dragonet. He kills without shame or regret, and hardly seems bothered when dragons mourn for the loss of their loved ones, as he has no loved ones himself. 
Despite his cold nature, Ossis does tend to seem to enjoy spending time with other dragons, as it helps distract him from his memories and trauma, and will often stand off to the side silently while other dragons talk. He enjoys the background noise, as it occupies his mind and keeps him from spiraling into uncontrollable rage and anguish.
Ossis holds a deep, unending fear of and hatred for any and all Animus dragons, as a result of his curse, and will openly try to murder any Animus that he crosses paths with, not bothering to introduce himself or explain his aggression. More often than not, he is able to catch the Animus off-guard with his abilities, and is able to kill them before they can use their magic to defend themselves.

WIP
== Relationships ==
=== Duskweaver (Neutral) ===
Ossis's relationship with Duskweaver is highly neutral. They both respect each other, but hardly ever talk to one another unless it's necessary. If Ossis were to ever learn about Duskweaver's Animus magic, he would not hesitate to attempt to murder the leader of his cult, but would be much more wary of the hybrid as he notices and recognizes his intelligence and cunning.
=== Sanguine (Negative) ===
The two have never gotten along. Sanguine finds Ossis boring, as his lack of emotion gives the blood-red NightWing nothing to manipulate, and his general coldness gives Sanguine the heebie jeebies. They hardly speak.
=== Nightspinner (Negative) ===
Nightspinner and Ossis do not get along. Because of Nightspinner's obsession with taking down the Children of the Dawn, and Ossis's active involvement in the cult, the two have never gotten along.

* The insignia on Ossis's cloak are based heavily around the loa, spirits in the African religion of Haitian Voodoo.
