**Osseus** is a character that appeared in *Lacius* and was created by theryanjake11. Osseus was a gigantic, skeleton-like being that was prophesised in Aqua-Iravian legend to battle Hydro-Girl's son Lacius for power.

## Appearance

Osseus is a massive, charcoal-coloured being that resembles a human skeleton.

He has a rotted heart visible through his ribcage, and he possesses yellow eyes that move radically and independent of each other.

## History

### Early Years

Osseus is part of the Okuyisisekelo, a race of gigantic skeletal beings that wielded tools referred to as Elemental Staffs and their homeworld consists of numerous towers that feed Osseus and his people energy.

Before the prophecy came to be, Omeka encountered Osseus and battled against his people. Omeka decided to encase them all within various planets to halt their deeds. Osseus was encased within the planet Vort.

### Meeting Lacius

Whilst talking with Omeka, she and Lacius are teleported to Osseus' pocket dimension where they encountered an avatar of Osseus. The avatar acknowledged Lacius, and looked forward to their forthcoming battle and threatens to destroy Aqua-Irava when he eventually rises.

### Fighting Lacius

Lacius, disguising himself as a scientist named Lucas infiltrated the B.M.B.M. Research Post in order to find Osseus' staff and destroy the crystal inside. While there, Lacius became infatuated with fellow scientist Wanda.

The Osseus avatar, disguised as a guard, revealed itself and attacked Lacius. The skeletal being managed to drain Lacius of his power before leaving, the weakened Lacius fled back to Aqua-Irava.

### The Prophecy

Lacius ventured to Vort in order to rescue the people from the destruction that would be caused by Osseus' rise, but they refused. They acknowledged their sacrifice and all stood together in peace, refusing to leave their home. Lacius watched as the planet was destroyed as the titan-sized Osseus rose from the ground.

Now free, Osseus retrieved his staff from Earth and proceeded to destroy the planets Micciacarro and Choxevis before turning his attention to Earth. Osseus is then confronted by Lacius who launches himself at the giant demon, but he is flicked away into an asteroid. Osseus begins climbing out of what remains of the planet Vort.

Getting back up, Lacius viciously punches Osseus in the face as the massive skeleton begins closing his hands around the son of Hydro-Girl.

Osseus then calls Lacius a "mistake" and uses his hand to push Lacius which crushes him into an asteroid, he then lands a final blow which seemingly knocks Lacius unconscious as Omeka looks on in sorrow.

Grabbing his staff once more, Osseus points it down at Lacius in order to kill him once and for all. After hearing Osseus threaten both Earth and Aqua-Irava, Lacius decides to use his maximum strength to grab the staff and forcefully twist it around.

As the staff leaves Osseus' grasp, Lacius shoves it into Osseus' heart which causes the skeleton to cry out in pain. As his eyes fill up with fire and his heart erupts, Osseus becomes covered in numerous minor explosions before being completely obliterated in one final explosion.

With the prophecy seemingly fulfilled, Lacius returns to Aqua-Irava with Omeka who tells Hydro-Girl of her son's actions.

## Personality

Osseus is an incredibly sadistic, unpredictable joker. Whenever he battles Lacius, he mocks the young hybrid almost constantly and also mocks his heritage.

## Powers & Abilities

### Elemental Staff

As with his people, Osseus had possessed his own Elemental Staff which could use the power of an embedded red gem to fire red lasers powerful enough to destroy whole planets.

### Avatar

While his true form was trapped within the planet Vort, Osseus took control of a significantly smaller and weaker version of himself which he used to both inhabit a pocket dimension for some time and enter Earth to attack Lacius.

### Disguise

Osseus' avatar had the ability to shapeshift, taking on the appearance of a security guard within the B.M.B.M. Research Post.

### Red Lightning

Osseus' avatar had the ability to emit powerful red lightning from his hands. It is unknown if Osseus' true form had this ability.
