Osovíx (ɒsɒviːks)
Osovíx
Osovíx was less of a warrior and more of an entertainer, to a degree. He wanted to make sure that his fellow Raxarians remained hopeful and inspired. It was in fact Osovíx that invented instruments such as the drum and flute. He wanted to help his brothers in battle while remaining out of the fight, not necessarily because of cowardice, instead because he was more of a pacifist. He did this using his instruments, composing war songs that he would play during battles for the other Raxarians. To accentuate his music further, he used his Soul magic (being a descendant of Avaking) on his instruments so that they actually influence the Soul of the listener to regain hope and to look past exhaustion. His efforts were invaluable in continuing efforts against the Void, even when some believed all was lost. Avaking recognised his efforts to keep his brothers inspired and offered him the relevant name: Osovíx, meaning "Inspire[er]".
Due to the general nature of most Raxarians, they cared little for his music and generally just ignored it or even told him to stop and fight. Osovíx kept doing what he thought was right, and since he did, Avaking recognised his efforts and named him. After that, more and more Raxarians payed attention to him and his music and started to be thankful for his work. Although most Raxarians still don't bat much of an eye to his music in modern times, all have taken notice of his invaluable work and respect him for it.
After the The Day the World Mourned, Osovíx wanted to write a song in recognition and remembrance of the those that fell. He dubbed the song "Forever True to the Cause" and was about how the fallen will live on forever, keeping true to themselves and their brothers. Every anniversary of the Day the World Mourned, he and many other Raxarians travel to Mt. Líflátlæ and sing the song atop the ruins of Udødliå as tribute. Valerik has been to every single one of these events, feeling it his duty to do so to retain his brothers' honour.

Physical Description
Apparel & Accessories
Despite being an Avaking Raxarian, much of his armour and clothing has been painted a vibrant orange. He does this to stand out from the crowd and to always remain visible during chaotic battles. Many Raxarians actually shamed him for doing this though, as they thought he was not representing his Dragon's colours enough.
He carries his flute with him at all times, looping a thin strap of leather into one of the key holes and up out through the mouthpiece and then attaching it to his waist.

Mental characteristics
Morality & Philosophy
Osovíx is a more pacifist Raxarian. This is not exactly completely unheard of, but considering the instinctual nature of Raxarians, it is very rare. Most of them are considered cowards and are often stripped of their honour if they do not fight. Osovíx is an exception to this, however, as his efforts to maintain war morale was never overlooked.
