Odium Sui

Many years before the series started, Odium was a young, well-meaning, and helpful pup who was born into an honorable family. They've taught him many different lessons to learn in life in order to be good towards others, but the biggest lesson he learned was that whenever he sees injustice of any kind happening, he should tackle it head on in order to make sure that others don't suffer.

This made sense as his family moved to and lived in a very disreputable town on the other side of the planet named Rogue Town, where injustice and hardships usually happens on a daily basis due to overpopulation, poverty, and competition for years before he was born. This made Odium's family, who are some of the only ones trying to do something about it, create and uphold to a moral code against injustice in order to make sure that life becomes better for others, whether inside or outside their new and current damaged society.

Overtime, in Odium's life, he would follow this code for his family and others in order to make life better out of honor and integrity. He's done things like giving an orphan back some bread after it was stolen from him by hooligans before giving them some bread of his own, told off a cruel and abusive family for yelling and kicking out their child, etc. all in the name of honor and integrity. However, this caused him to be so obsessed, single-minded, and blinded by his family's philosophy to the point of downright hatred, confrontation, judgement, self-righteousness and bitterness towards injustice of any kind, as well as towards those who violate said moral code.

After Odium became old enough to survive on his own, he left his disreputable town and waved goodbye to his honorable and loving family before heading through a cold and barren forest that leads outside of the town named the Black Tree Forest. Freezing from the chilling air without any warm clothes to put on, Odium needed someplace to warm up for a while. Suddenly, his ears twitched as he heard a strange sound from nearby. Out of curiosity, he decided to quickly follow it up to a large, rocky cave that housed an old and mysterious seer.

The seer took him in and gave him some warmer clothes to put on. The seer then insisted that he'd stay with her for more warmth and better shelter from the cold, which Odium hesitantly agrees since he's got nowhere else to go. After a few days have passed, Odium was about to leave, until the seer stops him and tells him that she and others need help. This intrigues Odium with both curiosity and a bit of skepticism, but she assured him that it's truly for the greater good. Seeing this as a necessity to help others out and live up to his family's high moral legacy, Odium listens to what she has to say.

The seer then shows Odium, through her crystal ball, all of the Mane Six, Starlight, and Discord's future wrongdoings and faults; the disasters they're responsible for, the crimes they questionably committed, and even how they've treated each other and others like Spike at times throughout the series while also subverting the good that they've done. She also says that they're manipulative and vindictive beings who use their so-called "good-nature" to escape their faults and even excuse them. They will also destroy anyone who goes up against them.

This angers Odium while the seer tells him that he's the only one who can stop them. Odium asks why him and not anyone else, but the seer says that he's the most selfless and bravest person that she's seen who has the most potential and that he has to do it in if he truly wants to do the right thing and live up to his family's moral legacy. Odium hesitantly accepts and the seer decides to help train and prepare him until he's truly ready to face the Mane Six, but also tells him to watch the visions over and over again in order to have a great focus needed for his mission. Little does Odium know that the seer has ulterior motives for her actions besides helping him.

After years of training, planning, and studying the Mane Six, Starlight, and Discord while being told to watch the visions over and over again, causing his hatred and determination against the Mane Six and their friends to slowly grow overtime, the seer finally said that Odium is ready and gave him one of her ancient weapons before painfully dying of old age and turning to dust right in front of him. This traumatized Odium greatly before he headed out on his journey against the Mane Six and the others.

During his journey, however, he began to see injustices everywhere he went and decided to stop it with no reward or recognition. Like helping an old lady against a pack of criminals, defeating a giant rock monster for a lost child, etc. Despite his good deeds, however, that still didn't stop his journey to go after the Mane Six, Starlight, and Discord for their misdeeds. In fact, it only strengthened his belief that what he's about to do to them is the right thing to do.

Unlike other villains in the series, who's goal are motivated by power, control, revenge, amusement, etc., Odium is driven by justice and a strict moral compass against the Mane Six, Starlight, and Discord for their fake misdeeds on others throughout the series. He personally thinks that he's the only one who can put them in their place and is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure they get the consequences they deserved.

However, he wasn't always this way. Originally, Odium was just a very young, well-meaning, honorable, helpful, and curious, yet very introverted, insecure, and naive at times pup.

Overtime, though, while he still has those well-meaning and naive traits, Odium grew very hateful, unforgiving, bitter, aggressive, confrontational, and at times short-tempered of injustice of any kind as well as towards those who violate or have violated said moral code due to his family's flawed, yet understandable moral code and living in a place full of injustice and hardships ever since after his family moved out and after his birth.

Odium has become so single-minded, narrow, and limited in his own moral compass and view of justice and vigilance to the point of being downright obsessive, arrogant, judgemental, and self-righteous at times. He is so determined and devoted to his own moral philosophy and wants others to follow it that he may even use aggression and violence towards those who violate it.

Despite acting very serious and determined on the outside, Odium can also be very gullible, curious, and idealistic towards those who need his help. This is one of the reasons why he was tricked by Gabriella for years due to thinking that she was just someone who needed his help and assistance when needed. He can be indecisive and full of doubts, confusion, and turmoil when faced with a moral dilemma of what's right and what's wrong.

However, he's not outright dumb or slow-witted and has above-average intelligence and perception when it comes to things like psychology and observation. He only has trouble with social interactions and usually enjoys being by himself due to only interacting with his family and a few other people during his journey before meeting the Mane Six and their friends.

Odium is very courageous and brave for the most part, willing to risk his own life for others even if it means fighting till his last breath. His determination, little regard for his own safety, and perception makes him a very dangerous opponent. The only things that he's truly afraid of are fire, losing loved ones, and being a bad person.

In spite of Odium's flaws, He does have his good qualities as well. He does genuinely care about and is compassionate towards those who are either close to him or aren't his target's. He's also capable of self-reflection, vulnerability, and a lot of remorse for his own injustices and actions deep down, especially when realizing them. He can also be very self-conscious and shy about his actions and doesn't like excuses from either himself or others. Despite his hatred towards his targets' for their injustices, he's willing to be more careful and considerate when it comes to the things that they personally care about and hold value to. He can also be very merciful towards others, even said target(s), when they show absolute fear or flinch in front of him. Despite his arrogance, he can be very selfless, honest, helpful and willing to put himself in danger and sacrifice himself, even postponing his journey for the sake of helping others in spite of his single-mindedness. He also lives a relatively normal life outside of trying to save or punish others.

Odium has two similar motivations. His main motivation for his actions is because he wants to help and make life better for others and doesn't like to see them suffer or let others who've caused their suffering get away with it for the greater good. However, due to his single-minded, self-righteous, arrogant, unforgiving, and somewhat distrustful flaws towards his target(s), as well as his usual gullibility and naivete towards those who need his help, he can sometimes forget his own injustices and, when he realizes them, becomes so distraught and full of self-loathing that he feels like he's unworthy of forgiveness and redemption, especially from those he's hurt.

His second motivation is because he wants to preserve and live up to his caring family's reputation and legacy for honorable behavior and integrity. This is one of the reasons why he was so distraught, broken, and hurt when he found out that they were possibly gone, along with literally everything else that he had, after years of being tricked by Gabriella, due to his mutual love for them and everything they taught him.

Despite his gullibility and naivety, Odium is at least mature enough to know that forgiveness and redemption doesn't come easy, at least for him. When he's not being hostile, violent, short-tempered, antagonistic, judgemental, serious, or unforgiving, he's usually a real sweetheart who only wants to do what is right and gets distraught and full of self-hatred when he realizes that what he's doing is extremely wrong.

Odium is an slim, anthropomorphic, bipedal, grey wolf with a white underside and dark-gray tips on both his ears and long, spiky tail. He also has spiky hair on both the top and sides of his head and turquoise eyes with black, vertical slit pupils and white highlights, as well as pink skin on the inside of his ears. He has a medium-sized snout and black nose, as well as white, sharp, canine teeth and claws. He's also taller than the Mane Six, but shorter than Discord.

His clothing consists of a dark-brown, long-sleeved, vigilante jacket with a dark-gray, golden-buckled strap, and a dark-blue, white and black arrow cross symbol on each side and elbow. He also wears light-brown shorts held by a dark-gray, golden-buckled belt and has a turquoise feather on the front of each pant-leg. He also has a dark-blue stripe around the bottom end of his jacket, sleeves, and pant-legs. He also wears no socks or shoes.

He also carries a long, light-brown, magic-proof, wooden staff with three small, bent branches on the top end and white bandages wrapped around the middle of it, on his back.
