Brief biography: Odias is a dirty rat man with a love of cooking.

Longer Biography: Odias was raised on the frozen planet, Airritare. He was adopted by his two dads, Jaeuha and Skov, living on the outskirts of one of the many settlements around Airritare. So Odias didn't have many friends growing up. He would accompany his dad, Skov, to the nearby settlement to work the forge, but that was all the interaction he would get with the other children in the settlement. They would all play together while their parents worked. Odias was especially close to one girl whose family was friends with his dads.

Meritas and Odias were the best of friends for many years, even after his dad installed a forge at their farmhouse and no longer needed to visit the settlement regularly. Then they just stopped. Odias didn't want to play anymore and he spent all his time helping his papa, Jaeuha, with the goatogs. Even when Meritas would come to the farmhouse, he would avoid her and so they drifted apart. It was the most isolated he had ever felt. His parents didn't know what was wrong or what to do. It wasn't until much later that it finally clicked.

Skov was mending a hole torn in Jaeuha's coat by a goatog horn when Odias expressed a desire to learn to make clothes. So Skov sat him down and taught him. As he got better at it, he began to make his own clothes and it became increasingly clear that he preferred a masculine expression. Turns out Odias was a trans man who hadn't known how to put it into words. By making clothes and trying to figure out what exactly was bothering him about how he was perceived, Odias was able to put it into words. It was so obvious in hindsight.

Thus he became Odias. He started T, got top surgery, changed his name, and made new clothes that finally fit him.  The change in his confidence was insane. Odias was so much happier and energetic. However, he expressed some sadness, feeling he had missed out on much of his life so far. He had drifted away from all his old friends and didn't know where to go or what to do. So his papa, Jaeuha, suggested he travel.

The next time the unstable portal to Airritare opened, Odias was the first one through. He hopped through and turned back to wave to his parents. They wished him luck on his travels and he was off.
