First Appearance

Appearance

Dragon Form

A long, slender and sinewy dragoness with a purring and subtle voice and a barbed bone spike on the tip of her tail. Her fine scales are the color of milky alabaster, and they have a luminescent shimmer under moonlight.

Human Form

A woman with silver eyes and hair who speaks softly and eloquently. She often wore mourning, and looked familiar to matter who the observer was.

Personality and Traits

Ospkethara was an egotistical and fairly callous female dragon that made appearances from time to time in 2011, and was Ashagar's sister. She strongly implied that she could predict, sense, and gain sustenance from sorrow and loss. She seemed to split her time between destruction and prosyletizing, claiming she did not bear malice, but instead intended to teach mankind "The Lesson" as she proceeded to destroy cherished objects in the neighborhood.

Much like her brother, she was capable of changing between her true form and a human guise at will, and seemed to be nigh-invulnerable to weaponry when locals attempted retaliation. While Ospkethara was presumably capable of wreaking large-scale havoc using the strength of her Dragon form, she was far more reserved and methodical than her brother and did not seem to share Ashagar's predilection for going on violent rampages of destruction.

As time wore on, Ospkethara showed herself more often, and though she would speak to anyone who would listen, she gradually revealed herself to be more and more unstable. She seemingly believed herself and her kind to have been somehow "cheated" by destiny itself--a curious complaint for a creature that claims to embody inevitability. After numerous appearances at the Ten-Aino House, Ospkethara finally started to unravel mentally. One night, after she had raged against the House of Serenity, decried reality as being somehow flawed, and accused notable Heroes within the house of "starving her to death," the well-argued rebuttals of the House residents broke through her raging and vehement denial.

Thus, Ospkethara, in a moment of weakness, was made to doubt her role and purpose in the multiverse, and this moment of weakness led to her absolute destruction.

History

A disguised Ospkethara first made contact with the protagonists in Tokyo in the form of a woman with silver hair and eyes who had a penchant for staring directly at them from the apartment complex across the street.

Eventually, Ospkethara revealed her true form, a slender and silvery dragon that shone under moonlight. She stated she came as a courier with a presumably important message to her brother, who she revealed was in fact Ashagar. Upon taking her true form, she delivered the message to the other Dragon, and the message seemed to be a stern rebuke.

She decreed that some group of mighty entities condemned Ashagar for his subservience to his new mistress, and were furious that he had descended to a state of thralldom. His punishment for breaking the "Old Ways," they said, was to be harsh, and Ospkethara foretold his venture would doom him, and that this fate would exclude him from attending their Feast during the "End of Days." After her brother mocked this judgment, she spoke again to lament his sad fate of servitude, and flew away.

Some time after this, Ospkethara appeared in the Neighborhood once again, and shared tales with others, smashed the occaisional car, and bemoaned to all who would listen with lamentations about her brother's decision, or give vague hints of some catastrophic fate which had befallen her Race--sometimes suggesting that it was this "inherent crisis" that conquered Ashagar from within, and drove her brother to become apostate. While the Voice of Harmony offered her a chance to "redeem her Brother," she scoffed at his proposal, swore that she would never follow her brother's example of consenting to servitude, and stated that she, like her brother, was the Voice of Harmony's unyielding enemy.

Death

The the weeks that followed suggested she was undergoing rapid spiritual and mental decline. And one night, under the light of the moon, Ospkethara seemed to finally relinquish her grip on reality. She spoke of reality as a "Great Lie," spoke of "great enemies" that dwelt within the Ten-Aino House, and lauded what she called the "inevitable triumph" of ruin and the food it would bring. Spewing curses at all those that doubted her, Ospkethara finally succumbed to her own despair and desperation, and to the might of an ancient and powerful entity that manifested to condemn her.

With this event removing a great deal of her former power, Ospkethara was immediately turned upon by her own kind, just as any predator who has grown impotent and feeble. No sooner had she proven weak enough to be affected by this condemnation than a titanic dragon black as the void arrived on the scene, and pronounced a far more severe sentence upon Ospkethara. He claimed "her flesh, and her power." Then this massive dragon, by the name of Urlithrask, devoured her humanoid body, destroying it until all that remained was a strange silvery-luminescent tallow, which Bixia Yuanjin attempted to salvage. Only hours later, however, Ashagar himself arrived upon the scene, and seized the last of his sister's remains. Holding this shining and mercurial essence aloft, he then claimed Ospkethara's "flesh, and the tales stored within it." Thus, Ashagar hardened the now-spiteful ichor with his dragonfire, forged from it a shining Ring the exact hue of Ospkethara's silvery scales, and greedily drank the rest.

Ospkethara has never been seen since this event. Her brother Ashagar and her father Urlithrask wholly devoured her, and they now wield her power.
