Ouroboros

The **Ouroboros Dragon** is an ancient Primordial entity that appears as a cosmic serpent or dragon which is depicted as eating its own tail.

## Overview

The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a dragon or a serpent that endlessly swallows its own tail to form a cycle. Ouroboros is often interpreted as a representation of the perpetual cyclic renewal of life and infinity, the concept of eternity and the eternal return, and represents the inherently cyclical nature of life, death and rebirth, leading to immortality, similar to the Phoenix. In Gnosticism, this serpent symbolized eternity and the soul of the world. It is said that the Ouroboros lives by feeding on its own regenerating tail and was called the invincible snake.

It is a very important religious symbol over the ages, prominent in both Greek and Egyptian iconography, and the western mystical tradition as a whole. It was also widely utilized in alchemy, where it is a purifying sigil. The myth of the Ouroboros is not dissimilar to other myths of cosmic serpents, such as the Australian Aboriginal myth of the Rainbow Serpent, Shesha and Livyatan. The image of Ouroboros crossing itself into an infinity symbol is a modern idea, but one that retains the meaning of endlessness.

## Appearance

Like its fellow primordial entities, the Ouroboros 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. The form it usually takes is of a giant white serpent with varying features. Sometimes it'll have wings, sometimes it'll have legs; even the color of its body has been different.

## Personality

It has been stated that they were born from a primordial egg known as the Cosmic Egg, although they could not say where or what this egg came from. Alongside Ouroboros, Vitriol was also born alongside the Dragon of Infinity. Ouroboros exhibits a friendly, polite, calm, collected, and insightful demeanor when talking to anybody.

## History

In the beginning, there was nothing. An endless, shapeless, and formless void of nothingness. Then, all of a sudden, an egg materializes from that nothing, and from that egg came two beings, one of which was Ouroboros.

During the beginning of existence, the Ouroboros and Vitriol were both born from the Cosmic Egg 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 it had awakened, it became lost and confused in the empty abyss where it wandered until it found one of its older siblings, Khaos, who then raised the Ouroboros as its child.

Shortly after the creation of everything, Ouroboros attempted to replicate what Life and God did, and create life by creating its own souls. The results were less than savory as it ended up creating reptilian beasts, similar to the Primordial Beasts, known as the Dragons. After witnessing them rise up and engage in a war that nearly ended the young Creation, God descended and Ouroboros, afraid that they would be destroyed for their disobedience, disciplined the creatures so that they would behave.
