Okhalis



An o'khalis (ohb-AH-hiss, plural is o'khalisi) is a symbol that is highly feared by Mhaelotians and people of similar culture.

History
The origins of okhalisi is unclear, or whether its mythical properties are true. It is a triangle split into a trinity with a grey side, a red side, and a blue side. Its outline is usually white unless the background is a light color, in which it will be a black or dark brown.

An okhalis in Mhaelotian culture is like writing a swear word on paper; it is the designation of chaos, darkness, and manipulation; these three traits go with each color, Red being Chaos, Grey being Darkness, and Blue being Manipulation. To Mhaelotians, these are the very three things that are counted as "highly evil" and that should never be followed, done, or fallen for. The outline of white (or black/brown) is the designation of the very fabric of space and time that separate these three colors and their meanings, with the assumption that if any one or all of them were to cross, pandemonium would ensue and the destruction of everything in the universes.

Those who drew okhalisi were marked as evildoers and corrupt, even if they were just drawing okhalisi out of curiosity and weren't neccesarily "evil" or corrupt. Modern lore of okhalisi is much different than its ancient kind and includes far-fetched tales of those who have drawn or seen them.

Lore (Ancient)

 * Were a representation of general evil
 * Cursed those who drew it
 * The more drawn in one place, the worse the punishment for the drawer
 * Drawing 666 okhalisi meant death
 * White outline had stronger meaning

Lore (Modern)

 * White outline has weaker meaning
 * Beings who can draw 667 or more without dying are destined to follow pathes of pure evil
 * Strongly curses those who draw and look at it
 * Are a representation of strong and extreme evil
 * Each three triangle for chaos, darkness, and manipulation hold a long-forgotten corrupted and evil deity
 * Summons a random Virus
 * Black/Brown outline is replaced with neon blue and dark crimson
 * Derikas that look at it have a strong chance of becoming Derikas of Darkness if not already one
 * Animals become corrupted and obsessed with drawing okhalisi once they look at them
 * The now common and bloodchilling phrase is commonly written under an okhalis that says "Darker than Black" forces almost all light and angelic beings to become demonic when looked at, blinds deities of light for short periods of time
