1. ori’s mismatched eyes have a very complicated reason behind it.. his amaurotine soul (already dead to begin with) was resurrected by a pair of researchers, and to complete the rites, they had to do a little self sacrifice for it to work. for them, they traded eyes! 1 from each
2. still back in amaurotine days; but no one really knows how he had died to begin with, nor he does he know himself. the orisis of today (until a point in msq) is completely unaware having any of this history of being amaurotine due to hydaelyns ability to block memories
3. ori likes to garden as a hobby ! dahlias and violas are common in his garden, and a few fruit trees naturally grow a short walk away from his home. he can get busy due to his military work, so he isnt home often nowadays. but he does have a friend help him out when hes gone !!
4. he has a teeny tiny habit of getting crushes, but he doesnt see them as crushes. he sees it as a deep admiration and respect for the person, and usually a 3rd party would have to point out how soft his expression is or how he seems to act different for it to click in his head
5. on that same vein as above, he just isnt very in tune with some of his emotions in general... either very aware of himself or very oblivious, no in between
6. the feathers in his hair arent canon, nor the braids until a certain point.... at some point his s/o braids these things into his hair and he would keep the look from then on
7. his ears are banded/dotted to reflect serval fur patterns and are a lighter black/grayish in color, with the smallest hints of blue
8. ori finds massive comfort near the sea.. or anything similar to the lochs, since his home originally was within the ala mhigan quarter. the sea isnt quite the same.. better, even, since being at a real beach in of itself is usually a fun time
9. ori had originally intended to become a doctor when he grew up, but things took a very bad turn and now hes an all rounding tank with the resistance. he still studies potions and the like when he finds the time
10. since oris a soldier, he knows the importance of maintaining a proper diet. BUT that doesnt stop him from being picky and he doesnt like veggies.. he also tends to eat smaller portions than most people but thats just because he doesnt have much of an appetite -
- though, he forces his meals sometimes bc he knows he needs to be in good shape. he Does have little sweet treats to snack on from time to time tho !! and carries them around/shares with friends
11. his memories of others mean a lot to him, and its its a primary source of strength. he may not understand completely yet, but he sympathizes with the ascians for doing what theyve done, elidibus especially so
12. he only has a braincell for tanking and will absolutely try to tank something even as a dps or healer. permanent tank stance
13. he seems to be the approachable type, much to his confusion.. he isnt very outgoing at all save for with close friends, and can be blunt/straight to the point. he is polite nonetheless !
14. he used to be incredibly reckless, and to some, it seemed like his method of coping with survivors guilt. he has since then moved on from this way of living and turned to a healthier path of pursuit for his goals
15. while ori is a seeker, he isnt from any tribe... imperial rule took over the quarter early on in his life, and in an effort to comply, his father stepped down. his father eventually is forced into their ranks, never to be seen or heard from again
16. this doesnt sit well with his kids. ori’s sister, while sweet and nurturing at first glance, absolutely hated the empire for breaking up their family in this way, and in her own act of rebellion, is killed. this event is what sends ori off the rails in the first place /shrug
17. he absolutely HATES when people touch his tail and would probably respond by throttling you
18. he has a fondness for porxies because a certain someone gave a minion of one to him as a gift ^__^
19. i know i just said hes not part of a tribe but i like to think his facial markings are the last semblance he has to anything about his family ,,, and hes very proud of them
20. referencing all the way back to the first post but in some lighting/angles his blue eye looks yellow.... his original eye color before the trades
21. im still gonna add to this as i remember more things but he also has mild dyslexia.. he likes having people read to him
22. crunchy pic but the only DoH classes ori knows are alc and wvr. but since im omnicrafting in game, theres a running joke that people go to him for things outside the scope of his profession like bsming or armoring. he doenst know shit but he& #39;ll sure try to make smth for you!
in regards to 7 his ears have the faintest traces of blue bands instead
23. his neck is something he makes a point to hide. he thinks the scarring there is terribly ugly and its a point of vulnerability for him. i try not to dress him in outfits that expose his neck
24. he has a little bit of a sweet tooth! or more of a taste for fruit. he likes berry flavors over citrus and raspberry is his favorite
25. by seeker tradition his nickname would be something along the lines of “reese”. no one really calls him this however since he doesnt consider himself in a clan
26. hes a terrible insomniac. his mind tends to wonder into negativity in the quiet of night, and if he does get some sleep, more often than not hes shortly woken up by night terrors. everyone knows this about him, and usually let him get some rest if he passes out during the day
27. on that same note, he tends to doze off at random times + places, but mostly at tables or in the corner of a room. hes a little sleeby boy sometimes........ just give him five minutes...
28. hes a coffee drinker, but also appreciates tea. he likes his coffee strong but with milk and a little bit of nutmeg, and his tea with lots of honey
