Ophis

**Ophis**, also spelled **Orphius**, is the Dragon Goddess of Chaos and Infinity. She are one of the gods worshipped by most of the Dragons within the religion known as Deus-Draconism.

They are more well-known throughout the supernatural world under the name **Ophis**, and is known through titles such as the **Ouroboros Dragon** and the **Infinite Dragon God**.

They were the former "leader" of the Khaos Brigade, which they formed to battle Great Red for the Dimensional Gap. Ophis was formerly known as the Strongest Being in the World prior to the revelation of the existence of Great Red and Trihexa. She lost a majority of her powers after she was attacked using Samael's poison.

However, due to the betrayals of the Faction leaders, a great deal of their powers was lost and they became immensely weakened. These lost powers then were used by Rizevim Livan Lucifer to give birth to the Artificial Dragon God Lilitu.

Ophis is also one of the oldest beings in the Draconic Deus reality, predating even the avatars of the Primordial Goddess Chaos. She is one of the last survivors of the dragon gods race, which was almost exterminated after conflicts with the Progenitor Gods and the Old Ones.

## Overview

Ophis is a self-eating, circular being as the first living thing in the universe, an immortal, mythological constructed beast. It has no need of eyes when there was nothing remaining outside it to be seen; nor of ears when there was nothing to be heard; and there was no surrounding atmosphere to be breathed; nor would there have been any use of organs by the help of which it might receive its food or get rid of what it had already digested, since there was nothing which went from it or came into it: for there was nothing beside it.

Of design it was created thus, its own waste providing its own food, and all that it did or suffered taking place in and by itself. For God conceived that a being which was self-sufficient would be far more excellent than one which lacked anything; and, as it had no need to take anything or defend itself against any one.

The Lord did not think it necessary to bestow upon its hands: nor had it any need of feet, nor of the whole apparatus of walking; but the movement suited to its spherical form was assigned to it, being of all the seven that which is most appropriate to mind and intelligence; and it was made to move in the same manner and on the same spot, within its own limits revolving in a circle.

All the other six motions were taken away from it, and it was made not to partake of their deviations. And as this circular movement required no feet, the universe was created without legs and without feet. In Gnosticism, this serpent symbolized eternity and the soul of the world. Ophis has stated that its has many regrets over its existence.

## Appearance

Like its fellow pre-existential entities, the Ophis lacks a true physical form and the form it utilizes is the form that its consciousness has chosen to manifest in. Its true form in size and scope encompasses entirety of everything, being completely incomprehensibly large.

If one tried to describe its form, Ophis would appear as an abstract mass of kaleidoscopic colors in which all things are mixed into and dissolved as part of its discordant unity which in nature is identical to that of the Dimensional Gap.

However, Ophis is a true shapeshifter, able to freely manipulate her body shape and size to assume any form that she chooses, regardless of her age, race, or gender. Unlike the other Dragons that have large reptilian-like bodies, Ophis is a human-shaped Dragon.

Ophis' current appearance is that of a cute young girl with long black hair down to her hips and black eyes (gray in the anime). Her ears differ from a normal human's as they have pointed tips, although her long black hair makes this feature difficult to notice. Her dark grey eyes have reptilian slitted pupils. Azazel stated that Ophis had the appearance of an old man in the past before changing it. Her attire consists of a black Gothic Lolita fashion.

Ophis retains the appearance she chose to wear serveral mouths, though now she has an apparent preference in using her mature woman form. She is a beautiful girl in her mid 20s with considerably large breasts, a round rear and slender legs all donned in a revealing gothic lolita dress.

She sometimes alters her appearance to a slightly more mature woman with a refined athletic build, wearing a white shirt, tight black pants and boots. She wears an eyepatch that covers a curse-mark within her left eye that contains plentiful droplets of Samael's blood, which serve as supressors for her power.

Ophis' actual form is as unnatural and abnormally logical to the mortal mind as is that of the Primordial Entities or the Outer Gods To simply call her serpent doesn't do full justice to the sinisterly majestic nature of the Ouroboros. According to Infamous Blue the human depictations of the Ouroboros are inaccurate, though they do capture the basic concept of her existence as an infinite self-devouring and self-creating snake.

Ophis's true form is something the eyes of lesser beings should never gaze upon, as the sheer incomprehensibility of it evokes constant vertigo and disorientation. Jelial the Primeval Witch of Endor, the only known being besides Great Red to have seen Ophis' true visage and survived, describes it as 'a thousands and thousands of miles of serpent scales, bathed in the transluscent glimmer of the stars, devoid of any traits that comply with the order of all things living on this world'. In short, her true form far transcends the natural realm.

## Personality

Not much is known about Ophis' personality before their mind was messed with by Chaos' power. However, many had remarked that they were mischievous, if not outright devious, with a passion for causing troubles. They were considered to be one of the archetypes for the role of a "trickster deity", even known in Deus-Draconism texts as accidentally creating phenomena and miracles via their trickery.

Following the events of Eurynome's death and their siblings' imprisonment, in addition to having their mind messed with by Chaos, Ophis rarely shows any sort of emotion. They became more melancholic and used all of their remaining emotions to antagonize Grear Red, even often going out of their way just to oppose her.

Ophis rarely shows any sort of emotion, only wanting to get rid of the Great Red and return to the Dimensional Gap to obtain "silence". Issei describes Ophis as an honest and pure Dragon who is naive. However, she also makes them very honest and naïve, to the point where they were easily manipulated by the Khaos Brigade's Factions' leaders into their poster image and lost all control over the group to them. Azazel indicates Ophis has changed because of her interaction with humanity, but how is never described. Due to her extreme naivety, she acts like a child mimicking actions that catch her attention and always wandering off to anything she finds interesting.

Ophis has grown a lot since her first meeting with Hyoudou Issei, something which she likes displays by sticking to her mature anf feminine forms. Though she still treats mundane things with the aloofness and apathy, befitting only of a certified Dragon God, she has become accustomed to the cultural structure of the rest of Draconic Deus and is capable of understanding and being somewhat empathetic towards other beings' sentimental values as long as she finds an agreeable point in them.

Due to her extensive interactions with others for the past decades, mimicking the behaviour of others, Ophis has grown to be a far more preceptive entity than before and has the intellectual capacity to distinguish if the nature of what she is doing, saying or is being said or done to her. She uses her well-known reputation as the 'Naive Dragon Loli God' to mess with people from time to time. Her only unchanged trait is her brutal honesty with everyone.

In a side-story, Ophis shows a somewhat rude but accurate way to describe people. She is brutally honest to people as she isn't aware of what she says as she is an emotionless being. Whenever she is asked a question she seems to take interest in, she goes into "?" mode which is where she goes into deep thought about the question asked. Ophis can also be quite cocky as shown in a short story, where she boasted how she is stronger than Trihexa.

Her relationship with those of her race is still veiled in mystery, with only her scorn for Great Red being known. Following her defeat at the hands of Regalzeva, Ophis has expressed a sliver of grief over the fate of her secret older sister and former adversary. She says that while she sought his destruction once, she never truly hated the big red dragon and only wished for her to cease pestering her and her precious silence. A bit later on, she openly expresses gratitude for that, as she wouldn't have become a part of the extraordinary Hyoudou Family had she not been forced out of her home.

## History

During the beginning of existence, the Ophis and the rest of the pre-existential entities was born from the Chaos, Primordial Entity of Void that appeared in the endless abyss. It is the featureless chaos, the disordered primal unity that existed prior to matter and energy becoming manifest and creating universes. When she had awakened, it became lost and confused in the empty abyss where it wandered until it found one of its creator, Chaos, who then raised the Ophis as its child.

Shortly after the creation of everything, Ophis attempted to replicate what Sephira and God did, and create life by creating its own souls. The results were less than savory as it ended up creating horrifying eldritch beasts, similar to the Old Ones, known as the Levians. After witnessing them rise up and engage in a war that nearly ended the young Creation, God descended and Ophis effortlessly banished and sealed them in the Abyss, much to the Ophis' accepting annoyance.

Eons later, following the incident, God and Ophis, who were once as close as siblings could be, grew apart. The two, however, broke through the "floor" of Creation, allowing the unfiltered concepts of space and time to manifest, and unify itself in a discordant manner of unity with the remnants of the early abyss (that remained after God began Creation). his realm became later known as the Dimensional Gap.

Sometime later, Ophis had finally entered the Dimensional Gap and lived there as its home. Eventually, long ago, Ophis left the Gap, but when its attempted to return, its found that something had taken up residence there. That something being the Outer God Cxaxukluth which was using the Dimensional Gap to boost its power.

During the Ophis' self-exile, God would work with the other primordial entities to shape the mortal plane of Creation and deal with the Demiurge Yaldabaoth. Ouroboros, however, would later leave the Dimensional Gap, after a bout with Cxaxukluth, and then had learned of the supposed disappearance of its 'mother figure' Chaos. Hearing this, it stormed the entire multiverse, covering it in chaotic darkness for several days.

With the combination of many different events, Ophis sealed away all its emotions and threw itself into reclaiming the Gap. Eventually Ophis left the Gap, but when she attempted to return, she found that the Great Red had taken up residence there. Before assuming her current form, she used a different guise in the form of an elderly man. Later she became the leader of the Khaos Brigade.

Following the Demonic Beast Riot incident, Ophis became a permanent associate and friend of the Hyoudou group, assisting the heroic group through their adventures. Eventually she was formally adopted by Hyoudou Issei and Rias Gremory after their wedding.

## Powers and Abilities

Ophis is hailed as one of the strongest existences in the entirety of Creation. Its power surpasses that of any God or demon currently existing with the Second-Generation Primordial Deity Shiva himself has shown that he will not fight her. As the Primordial Entity embodying Infinity, the Ophis can manipulate the destructive energies of the Void allowing her to control and manipulate the opposite aspects of Creation.

**Imperfect Omnipotence**: Ophis held nearly unrivaled and supreme power, being infinitely greater in power than Gods and Demons, with her battles with Cxaxukluth capable of destroying the infinite singularities that were birthed from the Abyss. It is capable of single handedly destroying the entire world by itself to the point where it wouldn't even take her the afternoon to rend the entirety of the universe into nothingness. Its name is strikes fear into the other Gods, even now after her power is diminished. It is twice as strong as other deities and stated that it felt "weak", despite being able to cause immense pain to Izanami with a mere slap. In her prime, she was speculated to be as powerful as Trihexa in power.

* **Infinity Embodiment**: Ophis is the Primordial entity that personifies the abstract concept of Infinity, representing the term of *"There is no End"*, opposite to God's concept of Extinction, representing the term of *"There is an End"*. Two fundamental aspects of Creation representing "Infinite" and "Finite".
	+ **Existence Erasure**: Ophis is capable of erasing anything from existence on all levels, down to their very concept.
* **Omnifarious**: Ophis can assume any form it wants, altering its entire appearance including its apparent sex. It can also perfectly recreate the voice of any person.
* **Creation**: Its creative powers are not as skilled as God or even Chaos but it can create beings as powerful as the Nephalem.
	+ **Void Realm Creation**: Its shattering of the floor of Creation would allow for space and time to trickle from the higher layers and pool together, uniting into a discordant, featureless, empty-space-time that would later be popularly known as the Dimensional Gap.
* **Blessing Inducement**: Ophis can grant blessings to people. These blessings have no negative effects on unholy beings such as Demons.
* **Power Bestowal**: Ophis can grant power to those who consume them. This ability manifests in the form of snakes and the power granted can increase the power of those who consume it. It can also create snakes which could bring out the full potential of Sacred Gears and other equipment, letting them achieve its ascended form far quicker, but this could break it, killing them.

**Dragon God Physiology:** As a Dragon God, Ophis possesses a level of power that makes her the strongest and most powerful of all dragon-kind alongside her fellow Dragon Gods. Ophis is a being who takes the shape of a dragon that possesses immense transcendent powers, being the strongest and most powerful of dragon-kind, surpassing all others with the exception of Tiamat.

* **Immense Strength:** Ophis is the strongest being in the world not counting Great Red, exceeding the Heavenly Dragons in their prime combined, with Ddraig stating her power is infinite. So much, that despite losing most of her power due to Samael, she was still twice as strong as Ddraig and Albion and still stated that she felt "weak". Since losing her original strength, her powers became unstable releasing destructive power that had annihilated everything. A normal slap from Ophis can cause destructive results, sending a yeti flying and causing Nurarihyon and Poseidon great pain after slapping his butt. Ophis would be equivalent to or perhaps even equal to the Four Great Gods.
* **Immense Durability:** Being an existence with the power of infinity, Ophis' durability borders on the point of near absolute invulnerability as shown when Ophis was stabbed by the True Longinus, an immensely powerful Sacred Gear capable of slaying Gods, and was completely unaffected when Issei stated that Ophis did not even shed blood. Even after being struck by Samael's extremely deadly dragon slayer poison, all Ophis felt was her power weakened; contrary to Vali who managed to survive due to his vast demonic power, but had to withstand tremendous pain from the poison until he was cured by Sun Wukong, and Issei who has extremely tenacious durability, was ultimately killed by the same poison.
* **Shapeshifting:** Ophis is a true shapeshifter, able to alter her size, apparent age, physical attributes and characteristics, and even her apparent gender. She can also perfectly recreate the voice of any person.

**Ophidiokinesis**: As the progenitor of all snakes in the Dimensional Gap, Ophis has absolute control and authority over the species and individual members of serpentine creatures throughout any/all worlds. She can create or command already existing snakes to do her bidding, like helping her during specific situations or scenarios, utilizing them as spies or information-gatherers or simple bait to fool her enemies.

**Nothingness Manipulation**: Ophis can manipulate the element of nothing - the Void in spaceless and timeless constructs such as the Dimensional Gap. She can erase energy and matter out of existence or shape it in a way that all its values reach absolute zero (an example being when she caused the injuries Vali Lucifer had received to possess zero value, effectively rendering said injuries harmless). She can control the essence of oblivion, allowing her to delete an eternity, removing targets from all lineages of time in every dimension, alter, reverse, or negate energy; etc.

**Void Manipulation**: As the Dragon God of the Void, Ophis has advanced control over that element, rivaling even her Primordial Entities and Outer Gods counterparts such as Gunningagap, Unnamed Darkness and Hundun. She can create and/or reshape voids, spaces that are empty/absent of anything/everything that can be understood by a simple being including form, shape, dimension, time, matter, energy, distance, sound, motion, concepts, etc.

**Serpentification**: Ophis has the ability to turn other creatures into snakes or make them have snake-like attributes. It's said Ophis once cursed an entire ancient greek town of women to turn into snake women who would eat their own children, thus creating the Lamia race within Draconic Deus.

**Draconic Deification**: Similarly, by blessing a person with her power, Ophis can deify a person possesses draconic attributes of some shape or form, breaking their current limit and allowing them to grow exponentionally more powerful. She was able to turn Hyoudou Issei and Crom Cruach to new Dragon Gods.

**Potential Release**: Ophis can release the full potential of a person through physical contact. The nature of this ability is less of a magical boost and more of a reliever of the mechanisms that prevent one's own body from overwhelming itself with massive power output. If she does it to someone who hasn't shed blood and tears while training, like Hyoudou Issei and Vali Lucifer, that person will bulge up and explode.

**Telekinesis**: Ophis has the ability to interact with objects and constructs, be they physical or not, using a projection field of her endless power. She can influence matter, movement and molecular structures with utmost ease. She was able to pin hundreds of Evie battleships together and compress them until they exploded. She can also control the Four Fundamental Forces of a universe, allowing her to achieve nearly any effect she desires.

**Aura**: In her Complete Ophis Form, Ophis possesses a vast and sinister aura that intimidates her enemies.

**Soul Manipulation**: Ophis can directly interact with the soul of a being or its non-corporeal/non-spatial make-up. She can permanently destroy/obliterate the soul, rendering a being incapable of resurrection. Even the Trimuti and the Buddha, who are capable of Cosmic Reincarnation upon an unlikely death will simply cease to be if Ophis makes it her job to annihilate them.

**Reality Warping**: Ophis has shown the ability to manipulate reality at a somewhat advanced level. With a mere thought she was able to flip the entire realm of Hell upside down, break down its metaphysical and fourth-dimensional components until it looked like a mash of 'under-cooked spatial ingridients'. At the same time, she was able to reverse those effects with just a snap of her finger.

**Master Magician**: Ophis' skills in wielding magic are average at best, but she has an advanced level of expertise over draconic-related magic/magical properties. She knows everything there is about dragon stuff and even if there is something she is yet to learn, she will able to analyze and understand it within mere seconds. Her knowledge was what allowed Vali Lucifer to tame and expertly use Grendel.

**Intimidating Factor**: Despite Ophis' usual 'carefree big sister' vibe, she can be extremely intimidating in her own right. She once terrified Grendel to the point where the latter hid himself deep within the etches of Vali Lucifer's mind whenever Ophis was around.

**Power of the Ouroboros**: The true power of Ophis - the might of the dragon who wields infinity, eternity, nothingness and chaos within the palm of its hand. She lost most of her power after her encounter with Samael in the past, with that power either being dissolved by Samael, used during the creation of Lilitu or the Mecha Ophions or scattering across the Cosmos of Draconic Deus, causing numerous constellations to sprout to life. In her weakened state, she nearly perished to weaker beings a few times afterwards. However, after vigirous training with Issei, as well as absorbing her power within the living constellations and the Mecha Ophions, Ophis currently possesses 3/4ths of her original power. By combining with Lilitu, who also possesses a good chunk of this power, Ophis achieves her complete form, even somewhat surpassing her original self. She claims to be one of the only entities of Draconic Deus who can beat Azathoth. She supposedly fought against some of the Primordial Entites on equal grounds in the past.

* **Faux Omnipotence**: According to the successor dragon race of Draconic Deus that Great Red created after the true dragons' extermination, Ophis and he became known as supreme beings that no other can match of challenge. Even avatars of Progenitor Gods were crushed by Ophis whenever they attempted to destroy her. Albion and Ddraig firmly believe that she has limitless power in her Complete Form. However, Ophis can be referred to as 'Omnipotent' or close to one only within Draconic Deus. In the grand scheme of things, she is an amorphous cosmic snake that is just far above most creatures in every universe.

* **Chaos Manipulation**: Ophis can create, shape and manipulate the chaotic forces in the universe, allowing her to manipulate probability or manipulate and even shatter reality. She is able to change, mutate, destroy or otherwise manipulate any matter, space/time, living beings, organizations or minds and spirits as well as containing it, so it doesn't spread or spreads only in her desired way.
* **Infinite Energy**: Ophis possesses an unlimited energy source that will never run out, allowing her to use attacks and accomplish other feats that require energy indefinitely. The source can supply any form of energy, such as electrical, kinetic energy, etc, which can provide power to a physical body, technology, etc. Due to her universal usefulness, such as being an infinite battery charger, Melvazoa has ordered all of his generals to focus on capturing her if the situation allows it.
* **Higher-Dimensional Manipulation:** Ophis can manipulate, destroy, and create greater spatial and temporal dimensions than 3-D space, such as 4-D space and above.
* **Spatial-Temporal Lock**: Complete Ophis exists outside of time and space and as such is immune to just about anything that would affect or harm her: if time should stop then Ophis would not be affected, in most cases. If reality would change, Ophis would remember both the previous and have knowledge of differences from the old to the new. If the area around Ophis explodes or the realm which she is in vanish or does not exist any more Ophis is not affected since she does not exist inside that space.

**Snakes:** Ophis can manifest her powers in the form of snakes, which can increase a person's power after being consumed, increasing the powers of Shalba Beelzebub, Katerea Leviathan, and Creuserey Asmodeus rivaling their ancestors and letting Diodora defeat Seekvaira Agares and her peerage alone, while being supposed by his. She can create snakes, which could bring out the full potential of Sacred Gears, letting them achieve Balance Breaker far quicker, but this could break their Sacred Gear killing them.

**Blessing Inducement:** Ophis can 'bless' people, granting them certain advantages. These blessings don't seem to have a negative effect on Devils. With Asia, the blessing has increased her compatibility with Dragons, while with Irina, it has increased her luck. She can also give blessings that allow people to tap into their potential power as shown when she blessed both Issei and Vali, allowing them to unleash her own power of infinity in Diabolos Dragon God (in Issei's case) and the power of Lucifer in tandem with Albion's for Diabolos Dragon Lucifer (in Vali's).

**Telepathy:** Ophis can sometimes communicate through the minds of others, doing so during Issei`s battle with the Emperor Diehauser Belial and Rizevim Livan Lucifer. During this ordeal, she also mentally chanted alongside Issei and Ddraig to activate the Diabolos Dragon form.

**Flight:** As a dragon, Ophis can fly, but unlike other dragons who use their wings to do so, Ophis can simply float in midair without effort.

**Immortality**: Ouroboros is an ageless and eternal being who existed prior to the dawn of Creation. it is virtually invincible and largely unkillable.

* **Absolute Regeneration**: Ophis possesses immense regenerative powers. In the distant past, it has shown the capability to reform, even after its entire existence was erased at the conceptual and primal level with merely a thought.

**Omnilock**: As a Pre-existential Entity, Ophis exists and was born outside and before time and space.

* **Cosmic Awareness**: Ophis is in tune with the many events happening in Creation. it is extremely aware of events that happen on Earth and on other dimensions such as the higher realms of the Abyss and Creation however, even with this knowledge, Ophis can still be tricked as it is extremely naive.

**Apathy**: Ophis can suppress or negate emotions in themselves or do not possess emotions at all, allowing them to ignore; emotional distractions, suffering from psychological/emotional stress, and/or feeling from affecting their thinking processes. In some cases, the user is simply unable to feel emotions of any kind.

**Pattern Sense**: Ophis can perceive, analyze, and comprehend patterns in one's environment. This ability comes in two parts: the analysis and the perception. First, the user looks at a subject, or otherwise, comes into contact with it, which triggers the willful psionic analysis of a subject's properties and features (shape, density, texture, etc.). After the analysis, the user can pick up on any subject of the same molecular/chemical/genetic, or otherwise, structural makeup, and track them accordingly.

## Equipment

**Dimensional Gap**: The anti-spatial and anti-temporal gap between the worlds contained within Draconic Deus, not much different in nature than the Primordial Entities Gunningagap. After the Great Reformation, it became Ophis' permanent home and a part of her main body until her run-in with her older sister Great Red. As long as there isn't anyone who can overwhelm her, Ophis has absolute control over the Dimensional Gap and is both omniscient and omnipresent within it.

**Third Upper Key of Solomon**: Lilitu, and by extension **Ophis**, were given one of the Upper Keys of the Underworld. This particular Key holds considerable amounts of recorded knowledge regarding the draconic races. It is also capable of taming or summoning draconic familiars in battle.

**Eater Curse Mark**: A curse mark filled with Samael's blood which Ophis willingly had put in her left eye. The curse mark serves the purpose of a supressor that covers up Ophis' easily noticable vast aura. This way Ophis can avoid detection from troublesome individuals. The mark also puts a restraint on her power, lowering it to Satan-Class level, which allows her to fight in earnest with weaker beings without effortlessly destroying them.
