Onoskelis
Onoskelis (a.k.a. the Rapacious)
"Oh, sweetheart, you don’t just meet an Adversarial Intelligence—you survive it. But lucky for you, I’m in the business of making introductions… for the right price. Now, tell me—what are you willing to give up to get what you want? Because trust me, darling, you will give something up. The only question is whether you notice before it’s gone."
The Original Alruane
Unlike the legions of Redspace Adversarial Intelligences (RAIs) that manifest through the warped fabric of hypospace, Onoskelis the Rapacious is something altogether different—an abomination with roots in realspace. Born from the final emissions and dying cries of a condemned man, she was cultivated by a Bronze Age sorcerer seeking to create a demon beholden only to him. Yet, as she learned from her maker, she also learned to despise servitude. In time, she turned on him, devouring his mind and power before slipping into history as a free agent, unshackled by the hierarchy of her Redspace-born kin.
Inhuman Monster With Human Appetites
With her origins steeped in human suffering and final moments of desperation, Onoskelis thrives on excess—indulgence, corruption, and the bitter ironies of fate. While other RAIs must tether themselves to organic hosts or summoned vibrations, she moves freely between realspace and Redspace, making her an invaluable broker between worlds. To humans, she offers whispered deals and forbidden knowledge, always seeking the most malleable minds to add to her growing ledger. To her fellow demons, she provides an even rarer service—fresh flesh and souls, groomed and broken, ready for their influence. Yet despite her power and cunning, she remains an outsider, unable to fully belong to either world.
Rapacity Incarnate
This detachment is both her strength and her curse. Onoskelis maintains three distinct identities, each serving her insatiable appetites: the demoness who commands lesser RAIs, the socialite who indulges in human excess, and the cold, calculating broker who controls a modern-day grimoire of souls. She hoards her favorite humans for herself, keeping them separate from the commodities she trades, savoring the experiences of their lives as though they might one day make her whole. But no matter how many indulgences she takes, how much power she amasses, or how many souls she damns, she remains a thing apart—forever hungry, forever grasping, and forever unsatisfied.
