Osiris the Grave-Keeper by XAnkokuRyuuX on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Yuuuuuup, another OC...... xD;;;; Since I have an even number of good and evil Wayfarers though, I figured it was time for an all-mighty 'neutral' force. Osiris is my most 'powerful' Journey OC, as he is effectively immortal. He can 'die' and be 'killed' physically, but will reappear after a time, and will even feign ignorance at having been killed in the first place to the chagrin of whoever 'offed' him....However, he's also my 'weakest', as he will not even fight back even if someone tried to kill him.

He knows the true names of Ghost and Darkness, and is the one that 'tells' them to Scourge, and eventually, Mala, Fade, and Domino.

Osiris' symbol is a combination of a Journey grave-marker and the Egyptian shen ring, which is a symbol for everlasting eternity.

Osiris looks like a rather gaudy low-level red cloak, but there's definitely more to him than his many accessories imply. None know the origins of this Wayfarer, but since one can usually run across him on the desert sands, it is an accepted thought that he has lived in the desert all of his life. However, he doesn't exclusively stick to the desert, and at times it seems as if he 'appears' when one least expects it..... Sometimes seemingly when an individual 'needs' him the most. He has absolutely no fighting skills what-so-ever, and as such, he will never partake in any sort of physical fight; and in fact, if he spots such skirmishes, he will take no part even if a companion is in dire need of assistance. In fact, while he is very laid-back and carefree, he is one of the few that is completely and utterly neutral in morality. He is just as likely to help an evil Wayfarer out with his abilities as he is a good one, and sometimes vice-versa in the same day. This is not because he doesn't care about the well-being of others, he just feels that he has no right to interfere with their destiny, whether that destiny leads to happiness or tragedy..... What comes, will come.

Personality: Lazy with a capitol 'L' is what best describes Osiris' personality. Not one to ever feel rushed, he always takes his time when he goes places, usually strolling leisurely at the slowest pace possible if he can do so.... He never runs unless he really has to, and doesn't see the point in rushing off to go anywhere, because as far as he's concerned you'll get there eventually regardless. He's very friendly and has a very relaxed attitude, and frequently beckons other Wayfarers over to lay back in the sand with him to watch the clouds go by..... It takes a lot to get him mad, or even mildly annoyed. However, he has a habit of sounding cryptic, especially when asked for advice, and the way his eyes glint always makes it seem like he knows more things than he admits to. Most of the time he can be found near the graves of fallen Wayfarers, 'chatting' with the inhabitant as if he or she were really there..... Whether they are is still up for debate. Osiris also thinks himself to be quite the charming ladies-man, and usually can't pass up the chance to flirt with a pretty female Wayfarer.... Whether they're spoken-for or not. As such he tends to receive quite a few whacks to the head for his attentions, but it doesn't really discourage him all that much. He's also a notoriously annoying complainer if someone tries to force him to do things he doesn't want to.

Powers: Osiris is known as the 'Grave-Keeper', and is the one responsible for burying the fallen and erecting a tombstone over their resting place. He's rather bulky for a Wayfarer, and he uses that to drag completed tombstones from the scattered rocky outcroppings back to where the original grave's inhabitant lies. Osiris is pretty skilled in sculpting tombstones out of rocks, using his scarf and a sharpened stone to mold the rock as he see's fit. However, his major power is the gift of foresight, in which he can see the destinies of other Wayfarers, whether they are good or evil. While these visions are clear to him, he never makes them clear to the Wayfarers that seek them, and always relays the vision back in a cryptic puzzle of words in which the destiny-seeking Wayfarer must work our for his or herself. One can says that Osiris' visions are the only thing he's ever serious about. However, his visions are not always true, and it is impossible to figure out whether any one part of his vision will happen or not. It is said that he is able to 'feel' when someone is in need of him, and that he is able to teleport to that individual..... Osiris likes to say that 'fate' is what brought them together.
