Osmehel Polterpolar

## Physical information

**Osmehel Polterpolar** is a boss character in *Outback Outrun*.

## Official description

*"This creature is the spirit of a resentful farmer who often got stressed out because of the work it had to perform and remaining incognizant. But Osmehel Polterpolar is the opposite of who the person was; optimistic and relaxed. But it remains incognizant, and that is its intent with the Grand Prix promising splendiferous money. While it is impossible for it to revive and turn its life around, Osmehel's wishes with it are to become a motivational talker of category. Already helping towards struggling people, it wishes to expand its horizons and have a complete audience."*

## Character

### Physical appearance

Osmehel has heather purple ectoplasm with a humanlike triangular head, thin arms with large, three-finger hands, a pot body shape, and a long tail that ends thinly. One of its eyes is closed and has a dark purple crack going over it whereas the other has a sharp, fuchsia iris in a black sclera. It has dark purple hair with lavender arrow tips, and an open nose.

#### Default outfit

They wear a raspberry conic hat that is heather purple on the front and has an eye sharing its colors with Osmehel's actual one, albeit surrounded by two grayish purple wormy tentacles and a magenta rim. The hat has a grayish purple rim and six magenta tags -three on each side- hold onto it. Over their eye, they wear an eyepatch-like belt with raspberry straps and grayish purple segments.

Osmehel also wears a raspberry tunic that is frilled on the chest and features droopy sleeves with three triangular segments on each. It wields a collar featuring the same symbol present on its hat, and three black belts with raspberry edges, magenta claws on the sides and eyes on the center.

### Personality

Despite its cracked aspect and dark intent, Osmehel is a messenger of positivity, often away from its grounds to make sure struggling people are well cared for and/or overcome their fears to move forward. *To be continued.*

Osmehel was created in 2021, though they wouldn't be publicly revealed until February 2022, with the announcement of the first version of *CRiTORA: Abnormal*. Their original name was **Osmehel Solsym**, and they were the ninth, yet eldest of nine siblings living in the Moon District.

In 2023, Osmehel was reconceptualized as an *Outback Outrun* character, being one of the nine characters Pam races against. Some aspects, like their ghost-like appearance and the wishes to redeem from the mistakes of the past, were preserved.

Their place in *CRiTORA* has been occupied by two characters:  Invader Demo in the Pluto CRiTORA spot, and  Kepler Solarowl in the *CRiTORA: Abnormal* protagonist spot. As Daydreaming Birdie liked Osmehel design-wise, some of their design traits were reused for Kepler, with Lasty's authorization.

### Design

Osmehel's design draws inspiration from several yokai, albeit the color palette is almost identical to the one used in the previous CRiTORA aspect.

### Name

They're named after Osmehel Cadamaren, the primary antagonist of *Luna de Plutón*. Their original last name was a corrupted phrase for *Solar System*. Its current last name comes from *Polter* and *Polar*, two suffixes known to go before *-geist*. One refers to a ghost, the other hints at a song by Step.
