Oskar Mandus

"Balance through chaos and conflict, chum. -That- is how we better ourselves." Oskar "Ozzy" Mandus is a maniacal human cultist obsessed with the idea of bettering oneself through combat. The child of a proud and strict Saradominist and a particularly eccentric Chaos Druid, Ozzy's actions are paradoxical yet understandable for one who worships Zamorak. This peculiar methodology sees him a bit more amiable than most others of his religion while retaining some of the core tenets, albeit ideologically twisted.

Ozzy Mandus is played by none other than OzzyMandus.

Background
Born to former-soldier Percival Mandus and Chaos Druid Erzabet Corse in Draynor, Ozzy's young life was a rather broken one. His parents, while in love with each other, obviously did not and could not see eye to eye, forcing the two to separate. Ozzy was taken in by his mother and lived by her rather strange ideology centering on "being a balancing force in a world in need of chaos." This started on a Zamorakian tenet of faith via self-improvement, which the two spent most of their time doing. It was not a rather eventful youth, but it was more than enough for young Ozzy.

The teachings of his mother did not go wasted, however, but were instead modified. He found his calling in the Zamorakian faith and headed north to Varrock, set out to become a member of the Kinshra. Needless to say, it didn't end well, as his requests were often scoffed at or even greeted with violence. Ashamed and bereft at the thought of failure, Ozzy went deep into hiding somewhere north of Edgeville to continue his mother's practices. Utterly oblivious of what was going on up north, he had been under constant attack from various greedy adventurers, killers, and creatures of the Wilderness. However, unlike any sane person would, Ozzy ventured deeper into the Wilderness, slowly dawning upon his own epiphany.

Ozzy believed his constant failures and attempts on his life as tests of faith conducted by his lord. Twisting the tenets in his own way, Ozzy laid low as long as possible, studying various ruins and butchering countless attackers before returning to Misthaline, ready to share his newfound "wisdom" with the world in the form of his plans of establishing a cult called the Crimson Kingdom.

Appearance
Ozzy is a 5'06" man of slightly above-average build, typically garbed in his own vestments dedicated to Zamorak. It seems based off of garments that he might've worn if he had been accepted as a member of the Black Knights, fitted with customized "black" steel pauldrons, cuirass, clawed gauntlets, tasset, greaves, and sabatons over a crimson coat and dark slacks. A large cloak embroidered with the symbol of his god drapes behind his neck while a slightly personalized "Black Knight" helm sits upon his head, obscuring his identity.

Under the intimidating outfit lies a head of short, spiky salt-and-pepper hair framing a round, rather young-looking, shaven face. He has deep, dark bags under his brown eyes, the left one scarred by what appears to be a scratch wound, partially hidden by thin, round glasses resting atop the bridge of his button nose. His lips are thin, typically framed in a wide, eerie grin of dubious intentions. He has a somewhat toned musculature with thin, dark body hair growing a bit more coarse around the arms and legs, and no distinguishing bodily marks despite his affinity for combat.

Personality
Ozzy could best be described as "eccentric." He is constantly cut loose and enjoys being informal, often referring to anyone he likes with various terms of endearment. Highly hedonistic, Ozzy is driven only to seek out leisure, whether it be as simple as sitting by a running river and listening to its flow, or as wild as drinking himself into a stupor within the local tavern. This plucky and charming attitude betrays what truly lies in the core of his personality, however: an absolute joy for violence and power.

As opposed to most other Zamorakians, who can revel in destruction and death, Ozzy much prefers subjugation and straight-up violence, seeing killing as taking away someone's freedom and the chance to fight again as a way to grow stronger every time. Engaging in a duel or spar with Ozzy is rarely, if ever, to the death, and any outcome where one is still standing is utter pleasure for the cultist, even if he's the one on the ground. Sadistic and masochistic, Ozzy's life within the Wilderness may have marked his degradation in sanity, as well as a reasonable excuse for being utterly oblivious to events that have occurred since the past 13 years.

Skills & Abilities

 * Ozzy is no master combatant, as he has no formal training. However, his crazed and bewildering moves are more than enough to keep trained duelists on their toes, utilizing various tricks, feints, very basic magics, and even dancing in his combat style. This sporadic and wild stance turns fights into artistic, bloody shows.
 * Ozzy's magic experience is mediocre at best, which is further degraded due to his preference in melee combat. He incorporates simple illusions and very short-range "teleport" dashes into the mix, helping him in both subterfuge and being an annoying target to face in a fight. For proper spellcasting, he requires a lot of focus and maybe even a written version of the spell to read whilst casting.
 * One thing Ozzy is very proficient at is a skill he's learned while within the Wilderness; running. For someone who is practically comically clumsy, he is quite nimble for a man in armour and in robes, having had to escape from countless killers and assailants for more than a decade.

Trivia

 * Oskar's preferred name of choice, "Ozzy," simply came around from one of his legendary drunken binges. He was simply too intoxicated to properly say his name, so he could only utter "Ozzy" whenever someone asked for his name.
 * One could say Ozzy Mandus has lived under a rock for several years, as he is completely oblivious to countless major events that have recently taken place, including the Battle of Lumbridge, due to his life within the Wilderness.
 * Ozzy's favourite drink is actually not alcohol, but merely black tea heavily sweetened with honey and given a splash of milk.
 * Ozzy's taste in romantic partner is unknown, but he seems to enjoy male company more.
 * The name "Ozzy Mandus" is inspired by the famous Percy Shelley poem Ozymandias.
 * Ozzy is actually a reoccurring OC within other RP or fictional universes, but obviously with differing backstories and powers to fit the lore of the established world.
 * A lot of Ozzy's design carries references to real-world musicians, including Ozzy Osbourne and King Crimson.
