A Marorek in the final stages of his illness, Osseus acts as a clan scavenger, bringing anything back that he thinks could be useful. He tends to take requests from those who are looking for specific materials, often traveling much farther than usual in order to get what they need. Going above and beyond what is expected of him, he’s popular among the clan’s dragons who craft things for their work.

- Hatchling Biography -

Osseus was born into a fairly large Marorek colony, living on the outskirts of the Tangled Woods, just barely past the boundaries of the Shadowbinder’s territory. He hatched with his illness, his skin already peeling off, leaving his bones exposed. Small and rather frail, Osseus spent most of his childhood within the safety of the colony, where he would not be judged for his appearance.

- Adolescent Biography -

While his parents were among those Marorek who embraced their condition, as Osseus grew, he found he did not share their sentiments. He didn’t really hate it per se, it was just a characteristic of his that he didn’t really pay much mind to as a fledgling.

Osseus, as far as he was concerned, did not find his colony deserving of the title “Black Death” that ordinary clans seemed to have taken to calling them. Most of the dragons he knew were kind and fun and not scary in the least. He played with his friends, explored, and did things dragons his age were supposed to do.

How could anyone associate them with death? If anything, they should be the ones associated with death, what with how they treat Maroreks, thinking of them as less than themselves.

Osseus just didn’t get it.

Though when a civil war broke out seemingly out of nowhere, those thoughts were put on the back burner, as he was too preoccupied with the current happenings of his colony. Osseus was shocked and horrified, unaware of where all the hostility came from. Just yesterday, everything had been fine! He tried to ask, but he was ultimately ignored.

What went wrong? What did he miss?

As the civil war raged on, the untrained fledglings and hatchlings were either taken to the side their parents agreed with or sent away for their own safety. Osseus fell into the second group, his parents sending him to relatives in the Scarred Wastelands with nothing but some food, water, his father’s carapace and his mother’s matching silver earrings and cuffs to serve as reminders of his birth clan and family.

He never saw them again.

- Adult Biography -

Raised by his distant aunt and uncle, Osseus grew and with his growth came the growing of the disease. It finally reached the point where his wings were basically useless, too tattered to truly fly, though they still had their use. The loss of flight was a harsh blow and the skydancer finally came to resent his illness, growing ashamed of his appearance as well.

His aunt and uncle eventually died of a mysterious fever and Osseus was left with no one. So he left, roaming Sornieth and all it’s lands while mostly steering clear of the more densely populated areas.

He ended up back in his homeland, though he avoided getting too close to his birthplace. Instead he wandered the woods, where he was inevitably found by one of Argok's guards and taken to Ausha and Dak, who despite his condition and the possibility of it spreading, couldn’t turn him away.

So they took him in and gave him a job, but put precautions in place and made sure to have oils and and herbal remedies made to relieve the itching he experiences. Ausha did not wish to quarantine him, thinking of such a life not enjoyable in the slightest, but he ended up isolating himself, not wanting the others to contract his illness, but not wanting to leave either.

But there are those who do not fear the contraction of such a condition. Lyren, with her own affliction, cares not whether she contracts another one. The two have grown close and Osseus often asks her to act as an in between for those who have requested things from him, with her taking his finds to whoever asked for them.

He’s attempted to see if there is a type of magic that can stop the spread of a disease and while he thinks he’s onto something, it sounds rather risky and unsafe, requiring materials that he’s never heard of to craft the actual spell.

But that’s a risk he’s willing to take, he just has to find everything he needs first.

- Additional Notes -

➤ While Osseus cannot fly, his wings are still intact enough to gain enough traction for being airborne in short bursts; it’s more like doing long jumps with some extra air than actually flying, but it’s the best he can manage.

➤ Osseus is among the more magically inclined Marorek, but he still wears white armor in public in hopes of it hiding his condition, tricking others into thinking his exposed bones are just part of his armor.
