Osiris

**Osiris** is the posthumous overarching antagonist of the *Lightning SMP*.

He was an incredibly influential and abusive god, Osiris was a member of the Reptillius species who obtained immense power that allowed him to be perceived as a god. Osiris then fathered two children; one of them being Horus. Osiris belittled and abused Horus for not being what he expected, this would lead to Horus eventually killing his father many years later.

## Appearance

While Osiris has never been shown onscreen before, there are several hints as to how he looks like. The series creator states that Osiris' skin is green and his facial features are reminiscent of Horus' and Zillius'.

## Personality

According to Horus, Osiris was a very hypocritical and power obsessed individual. He was a neglectful and abusive father towards Horus, treating him more as a servant than his own flesh and blood. Belittling him as Horus was born with unusual traits for a Reptillius, particularly his dark skin tone and purple eyes.

Osiris seemed to had a god complex, while he was indeed a god, he believed himself to be the supreme ruler of the world and the universe. He believed that mortals were merely born to serve him and those similar to him, he believed that mortals depended on him as he was able to control the environment.

## History

### Background

Osiris was an incredibly powerful god of agriculture and monarchy, he had a massive influence across the Overworld, he would bless crops and resources to those who believed and worshipped him. Many civilizations began worshipping him in hopes of good harvests, revering him as their patron god. Osiris would order his followers to construct a great kingdom full of reeds, his followers succeeded in constructing the kingdom in which Osiris would then name the kingdom Aaru. His kingdom would become so vast that other gods became afraid of Osiris and chose to be on his good terms.

Eventually, he would sire two offsprings, one named Sobek and the other named Horus. Osiris loved Sobek, deeply caring for the latter as he was everything Osiris expected from his offspring. On the other hand, Osiris was disgusted of Horus, not able to accept that his offspring was not what he had expected.

As time went on, Sobek and Horus grew up with different treatments from their father. Sobek was trained personally by Osiris to learn divine magic, spoiling Sobek and turning him into a great and beloved son. While Horus was physically and psychologically abused by Osiris, Horus doing a slight mistake will lead to Osiris physically abusing Horus. Osiris also neglected Horus, not caring that his son was incredibly lonely and did nothing to relieve his son from his loneliness. When Horus grew up, he left Aaru and his entire family behind, Osiris simply shrugged as Horus left.

After several millennia, Osiris received a report that a trespasser has forcefully opened Aaru’s gates using dark magic, Osiris dispatched his entire legion to deal with the trespasser. Unfortunately, the trespasser revealed himself to be Horus and slaughtered the legion. Horus then breached Osiris’ palace and attempted to kill him. Osiris, heavily wounded, remarked with his final breath that Horus is not his child, in which Horus bitterly replied by saying that Osiris was never his father in the first place. Horus then drew his spear and killed Osiris, ending his father’s reign over Aaru.

### Events of the *Lightning SMP*

Osiris was posthumously mentioned twice during the events of the *Lightning SMP*, the first time was during the Liberal Arc chapter "Bargaining Peace", where Horus mentions Distortion being a hypocrite, similar to Osiris. The second time Osiris was mentioned was during the Indigo Arc chapter "Never-Ending", Horus points out that his and Zillius’ family were corruptive and selfish.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Horus

Horus was Osiris’ son, despite that, Osiris never really acknowledged Horus as his own son, rather perceiving him as more of a servant. Osiris would abuse him because he was disgusted at the fact Horus was born with unusual traits for a Reptillius, Horus would do one alight mistake and Osiris would physically abuse him for doing said mistake. It is possible that Osiris was terrified of Horus’ appearance and might be angry that he fathered a "demon". As time went on, Horus became more and more vengeful towards his father, becoming so angry that he trespassed into Aaru and slaughtered an entire legion, all to kill Osiris by driving a spear into his heart.

#### Sobek

Contrary to Horus, Sobek was loved and spoiled by Osiris. Osiris does not hide the fact he loves Sobek infinitely times more than Horus, since Sobek is everything Osiris expected from his offspring; physically similar to him in almost every way, never questions him, never argues with him, and never "pity the lesser ones".

## Trivia

* Osiris could be considered the cause of all of Horus’ actions, because it was Osiris’ constant mistreating and abuse that made Horus who he is now.
* In terms of power, Osiris was vastly more powerful than any being in the universe. Only being surpassed by Horus and the Embodiment of Death herself, Arius.
* It remains unclear as to what happened to the kingdom of Aaru after Osiris’ death in the hands of Horus.
