Zaahir is a guide who escorts souls to the afterlife, an entity that had no form until recently. He has a keen eye, and the ability to judge one's soul. He also works at The Oasis as its bartender and owner.

The Oasis and Zaahir are a mystery that no normal human can solve. The bar only opens at night and those who pass by the Oasis in the daytime are often left confused because, in the morning, the bar does not exist. The store looks abandoned and deteriorated until night falls, and its appearance changes to one that customers are familiar with. The Oasis, paradise for the lost.

The Oasis is both a safe space for the living and the dead. Most customers of the Oasis are human, however some tend to be more on the dead side, lost souls to be exact. Souls that had just passed away and end up wandering here, to paradise. The dead that show up at the bar are often in need of guidance, and Zaahir is the one that helps them. He judges their character and guides the spirits off to the underworld. 

He tends to keep to himself at the bar and focus on his duties and work, however ever since being transformed into an animal... Things have gotten, harder.

Ah, hopefully that wasn't too long of a summary! But anyways, here he is! My blush blush OC, Zaahir ❤︎ I wanted to make OCs for this game since the very beginning when I first played, because that's what I do- and I end up really liking this one.

If it wasn't that obvious, Zaahir is based on the ancient Egyptian mythology deity, Anubis, the jackal-headed god. Zaahir's animal design is that of a black canine that resembles the jackal, that is, Anubis's head.

I ended up taking a lot of visual inspiration via characters like Cyno (genshin impact), Jamil (twst), and Gallagher (Honkai star rail), though I don't think he would act like any of them at all.

Also since Zaahir can judge people’s souls, I’d like to think it would be useful when he makes drinks since he has a special unique menu item at his bar that anyone can order (dead or alive).

It's the customer special, a special custom made drink where it's not available on the menu for anyone to order and is one of a kind for the customer who orders it! 

He creates each customer special based on the person, he’d ask for the customer’s preferences of course, like if they’d want it alcoholic or nonalcoholic, if they have any allergies or preferences. Then he creates the drink solely based on their soul, and what he can grasp from it. (Gotta draw blush blush character's inspired drinks now- HISHWAD)

Anyways I hope you guys like him! I’ll probably end up drawing him some more since the OC brain rot gets me sometimes- but after I draw the other bb boys. I’ve been neglecting some of them… oops!
