Osipian cultures refer to a set of cultures shared by the different sets of Osipian people. One of the key areas of Osipian cultures is the concept of taking risk and venturing into the knowns and to avoid remaining in the comfort zone.

History

Culture

Philosophy and Religion

The Proto-Osipians believed in a world of dualism. Similar to Yin and Yang. However is express by Soft and Hard. The first and most prominent dualism is Comfort (normal, ordinary, known) and Uncomfort zone(quirky, extraordinary, unknown) . For which the dualism is often biased towards the Uncomfort or new zone.

In Modern Osipian Culture there can be different attitudes towards the Soft and Hard with some retaining the bias towards the ‘Toughness’ attribute while some aim to achieve a balance between the two.

The Osipian principle is build that a person lifes often contain (or should contain) tough and favourable moments. Sometimes the moments are given by life while some had to be created by oneself proactively. Many believe that in order to achieve that, one has to get out of their comfort zone and find a growth zone which may lead them to favourable or tough situation but will always end up developing and cultivating the ‘self’. 

The Osipian believe that the Divine force that governs them all is ‘Kalches’ which represents the one that knows them all. Kalches is said to include all knowledge that human kind and any other beings are unable to see or perceive. Some cultures believe in ‘elkionkre klalches’ – the blindspot of Kalches. Elkionkre Kalches is an unpredictable or unknown variable caused by a person’s decisions or any other things by which Kalches may not have predicted or human kind may have altered the ‘Kalches flow’ requiring the Kalches to refresh itself.

A concept of a messenger of the Great Divine power exist throughout Osipian religions. Osipian religions can range from pantheon style gods to monotheistic relgions. A hero figure often refered as Osipa (his name would change as according to different culture and language) is often worship for his or her bravery of going against a culture of fear and risk aversion. (The gender of this figure is often in consistant)

Osipian believes in two main world. The known, pleasureful and comfortable world and the unknown, tough and comfortable world. Osipian belive that they can’t always stick to the comfortable world and have to face the challenge and get into the uncomfortable world. Osipian people also believes in a person has their ‘strong self’ and a ‘weak self’ . Not really a hard and soft as soft traits can be strong too and vice versa. Sometimes we have to show our strong self, often to people and to convince ourself of our self worth but we should also accept the weaker and vulnerable part of ourself, the part of us either history or current who perhaps in incompetent and unable to be strong and to allow both of them to ‘neutralise each other’

The Arts

Art often portray adventurism and a ‘worship’ of novelty. Art can often depict a contrast or a harmony of the known and unknown, the strong and weak. Duality and a feeling like ‘Yin and Yang’ is found within Osipian culture

Fashion and CLothing

The Proto-Osipian would wear a long sleeved shirt. Often with a vest to coverup. They would also wear furred boots. They also had ¾ pants. Leaving parts of the ankle exposed. The colour of the vest depends on the rank of the person. Some vest have drawings on it.
