Osmehel Polterpolar/Osmehel Solsym

## Physical information

* Ingrid

**Osmehel Solsym** was a character in *CRiTORA* and one of the protagonists of the first version of CRiTORA: Abnormal. They were a Pluto CRiTORA from the Moon District who ended up in the Abnormal District.

In 2023, they were repurposed as Osmehel Polterpolar in the Choonieverse and  Kepler Solarowl in *CRiTORA.*

In the series, they were voiced by Sam A. Webster.

## Description

***"The Pluto CRiTORA**. Osmehel is the ninth -yet eldest- of the Solsyms, though they used to not take matters to themself and go around CRiTOPiA without a care of the consequences of their actions. One of their favorite activities was gambling against other CRiTORA at the Asteroid Casino. Then, the Infestation Invasion happened and Osmehel's life was turned upside down when they ended up at the Abnormal District. Teaming up with Darrell and Ingrid, two CRiTORA they never met before, Osmehel escaped and reunited with their siblings. Thanks to the lessons learned underground, Osmehel is a completely different CRiTORA from the one they were before everything."*

## Character

### Physical appearance

Osmehel has a rounded, mauve head with a crack running through their right cheek and eye. They have a single, oval eye with a purple ring iris in a black sclera. Atop their head, they have three purple pipe-shaped antennae that are bent.

Osmehel's body is long and purple, and their limbs consist of dark fuchsia, chipped wings. On the bottom, they have a mauve 'stinger' with a central sphere that is lavender.

#### Default outfit

They wear a lavender, conic 'hat' on their left, goggles with a single, lavender lens and a dark fuchsia strap, and a band on their left wing featuring two 'S' connected to an eye-like symbol.

### Powers, abilities, and weaponry

* **Galaxy-Freeze Bombs:** Lavender bombs with ice blue stars on them that are formed on the center of Osmehel's 'stinger' and are launched at the target, with a mild chance of freezing it.
* **Moonerangs:** Four crescent moon-shaped blades that are launched against the target and back to Osmehel. Upon their return, they disappear.

## Story

### *CRiTORA: Abnormal* (first version)

Osmehel enters the Asteroid Casino, willing to distract themself from matters at the Solsyms Isle. They encounter Axodus Wasteria and Mr. Surprise playing poker and joins their game. After both reveal their respective hands in one round, Osmehel reveals their winning one, much to their shock.

## Development

While Osmehel was created in Late 2020 and developed during Early 2021, they were not publicly revealed until Early 2022 along with *CRiTORA: Abnormal.*

During the time Osmehel was not public, it was on the table they would be the only proper CRiTORA to end up in the Abnormal District and would befriend the Amalgams living there, unaware the place was crumbling and they needed to escape to the surface.

With the story's replanning during Mid-2021, Osmehel would have teamed up with Darrell Halostorm and Ingrid Sprinkandle to escape a mortal terror deleting everything on its path, including any Abnormal District residents they encountered. Despite this, they would have escaped and reunited with their friends -and family in the case of Osmehel.

The novelized version of *CRiTORA: Abnormal'*s first version further revealed Osmehel's backstory and an understanding to their purpose as they spent their time at the Abnormal District: to learn and redeem from their mistakes as pointed out by Mancuria Solsym. As *CRiTORA: Abnormal*'s first version, as well as the characters LastyGhost designed at the time, were cancelled/retired in Late 2022, Osmehel's story was never further elaborated on.

Despite Osmehel's *CRiTORA* embodiment is retired, they are sometimes still used by LastyGhost and she gave Daydreaming Birdie the authorization to use part of their design to create Kepler.

### Design

While the exact basis of Osmehel's design is unclear, they were inspired by the Limini symbol from *Hiveswap*'s Extended Zodiac, the one-eyed Minions from *Despicable Me*, and Marx from *Kirby*, Additionally, their design had borrowed parts from 2017 designs of current *CRiTORA* characters such as Angelica Bellring and JUNKY.

As Osmehel was designed during the final stages of the Pilot Season's style, not much thought was put into their color palette, which consisted of bronzes, purples, and pastel pink. Once Season 1's style became effective in Mid-2021 and LastyGhost began updating her designs, Osmehel's color palette was modified to become harmonious.

In Late 2022, given the evolution of LastyGhost's art style, Osmehel's was given more details, including a fuchsia color for their wings. Those details were removed in 2023, both to make them easier to draw and to match Osmehel Polterpolar's updated design.

V-Osmehel, designed in 2021, was heavily reminiscent of Marx Soul from *Kirby Super Star Ultra*, including the color palette and physical aspect. During 2022, the details were reduced. Should Osmehel have had an updated infected form, the resemblance with Marx Soul would be removed.

### Name

Osmehel is named after Osmehel Cadamaren, the main antagonist of *Luna de Plutón*, a novel written by Ángel David Revilla. Their last name comes from a corrupted phrase for *Solar System*.

## Trivia

* Before Kepler's creation,  Invader Demo was intended to replace Osmehel in the Pluto CRiTORA spot. Despite preserving it, Kepler has more similarities with Osmehel than Invader does.
* One of Osmehel's weapons, the Moonerangs, were repurposed for  Moonbeam Slumberton.
* Artwork of them by Daydreaming Birdie is used in CRiTORA Database's Retired template.
