≼Basic Information≽
Mind behind the Character:
- Conduit Nox
Name:
- Orion Alexander
Gender:
- Male
Age:
- 18
Personality:
- Orion, at first, can seem like a cold or distant person. He acts as if he doesn't care -- or, for lack of a better phrase, as if he were better than you -- until you get to know him. Though... he doesn't seem like this until you get into a conversation with him. And he doesn't flat out say anything that would make you think this. It's more of the way he talks, as if what you say has no meaning to him. It must be some quality in his voice. He has a big heart, and cares deeply for everyone. That's just how he was raised. Orion doesn't lie, but he might not tell you everything right away. He tends to avoid questions he doesn't want to answer, and instead will try and find a clever way around them. He is fairly intelligent, but doesn't seem like it at first. He acts like an idiot most of the time. And by most of the time, I mean there are times when he really is an idiot. Orion is fairly naive about the world due to the fact that he has never had the opprotunity to experience it. Orion has a weird habit of say "what" in response to someone else speaking, then giving an actual response. It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen. He'll hear what you say, then respond without processing what you actually said.
History:
- Long before Orion was born, a well was built, with the reservoir beneath spanning for miles. People all around the country flocked to the site for the wells construction, either for jobs or for fresh water, or even for nothing more than a change in scenery. As if the lake below them had been mixed with sweet sugar, the water from this well tasted sweet to those who injested it, and not long after they began to feel invigorated and powerful. Their entire bodies were brimming with an unnatural youth. They built a small town, with the well standing as a center piece that held all of the people together. And as the times changed, so did the well and the area around it. The town flourished and thrived, and the well had been rebuilt as a fountain, and children began throwing coins into the clear blue water and making wishes. The town settled on the name "Miracle Village" as a tribute to the magical well that began their success. However, the success of the growing town was short lived, in comparison to the rest of the world. After 50 years of growth, poverty struck. The fountain stopped flowing with water, the townspeople began to fight and argue, and storms plagued the area. Eventually everyone moved far away from the fountain, and time drowned the village in age. Many years after sand replaced the gridline streets of the old town, a young girl found the fountain, dried and cracked from neglect. She saw all of the coins hidden at the bottom, and decided to toss in one of her own. And with it, she made a wish to know the secrets of the universe. Every year she was alive from that point on, that young girl uncovered new discoveries and unveiled secrets that even world leaders had yet to behold. She unearthed ancient civilizations, and found truths behind the disappearance of entire races. She described the construction of modern marvels, and even went so far as to prove her findings. With every secret she learned, her memory of that old fountain faded. She forgot about her wish, and claimed credit for everything she found. However, greed always comes with a price. She met a man, a respected graduate from the DWMA, and soon they were married. Happily so. They were expecting a son! Life couldn't have been better for them. Up until the day their son was born. A voice spoke to the woman, through her own mind, repeating her own wish to her and saying she should have been more humble in her findings. Once the voice had finished speaking to her, a flash of white burst into the room, and it faded away with her son. The light stole the boy away to a place resting outside of the physical plane. It was a strange dimension, where the inhabitants were formed of pure energy, but still felt human. They were smart, and inviting towards the human boy. They raised him as one of them, naming him Orion after the constellation, and teaching him everything he would need to know. From how to walk, to reading, to mathematics, and the list kept growing. They even taught him how to fight, and use abilities that most humans couldn't even dream of. And once he grew old enough, Orion struck out on his own. Bidding a fond farewell to his surrogate family, and leaving that strange dimension. He landed in Death City, ready to start his adventure.

≼Abilities and Techniques Information≽
- Legends have been told since time immemorial of an invincible sword style that utilized the help of both soul wavelength infusion and water manipulation to help control the ebb and flow of a battle, while at the same time maintaining a strong and versatile arsenal of forms that would grant a utility of responses no matter what happened during the battle. The stories described swordsmen who would teach their pupils only some of the forms, and then give them the knowledge required to design their own. However, there was a catch. Those who were taught this sword style would only be allowed to see each of the different forms once. After that, they were to replicate and recreate what they see on their own if they truly wished to use this style. The reliance on the students ability to remember and produce the result they desire, and the instruction to come up with at least one of their own unique forms was what made this style invincible. The many different branches that stemmed from the original teachings of the style allowed for the strong branches to survive and prosper, while the weaker branches wilted and fell away, forever lost in time.
Long ago, when the infamous Old Ones first appeared, and the threat of Asura the Kishin was overlwhelming, the legend of the invincible sword style had long been forgotten. One of the few alive who could still retell the old stories took it upon himself to create a style based on those same principles. He trained and studied for years until he perfected what he believed to be an invincible sword style. This style was named Shigure Soen Ryu, and has also been referred to as the Blue Swallow style. Over the years, the style evolved to include the idea that even the most basic of sword techniques could yield wondrous results if used correctly and learned properly. NOTE: This is not literally an invincible sword style. It takes time and effort to set up and perform each of the different forms associated with this ability. The Basic skills listed below are what comes from training in this style and are passive.
- Basic Skills
⊱ Sword Mastery: After intensive effort in learning the Shigure Soen style, Orion has become a master in using swords. His proficiency with them is high enough that he can pick up a blade of a different weight and size than what he is used to and within moments of holding it he can adjust to the differences and wield it with the same ease as his usual instruments. Even further, he is able to pick up any bladed weapon and quickly learn how to use it properly, though with anything other than a sword or a knife he lacks the same skill that a master would have. He is simply able to use well enough to keep himself alive in a fight.
⊱ Ambidextrous: Similarly to his mastery of swords, Orion has learned how to wield a sword in either hand equally, making him a threat no matter which hand he is fighting with. He prefers his dominant hand, however.
⊱ Dual Blades: Orion has learned how to wield two blades simultaneously, as part of his Shigure Soen training. He hasn't quite mastered this, but he becomes much more of a threat while two swords are in his hands.
Shigure Soen Forms
⊱ Shajiku no Ame: A simple offensive thrust attack, which can be boosted in power by charging wavelength through the sword.
⊱ Sakamaku Ame: A defensive technique in which Orion produces or manipulates water to rise as a wall in front of him to obscure his body from the opponent, then holds the sword in front of him to block any attacks that would land through the water.
⊱ Samidare: While performing a slicing motion with a drawn sword, Orion feints the attack and drops his sword to his free hand, performing the same exact same motion at a lower height. When he catches the sword, he speeds up the attack slightly.
⊱ Shibuki Ame: Orion holds a sword upside down and dips the tip in standing water, then pulls upwards on the sword, manipulating the water to form a large current of water rising into the air. This current runs strong enough that it can redirect strong attacks, and weaker attacks are completely swept away. This ability is defensive
⊱ Utsushi Ame: Orion is able to use the flat of his blade to cause a large wave in a standing pool of water, sending it towards the opponent. This wave stands taller than Orion and, if one were to look into the wave, they would see Orion's reflection. However, once he creates the wave, he jumps above the opponent and delivers and attack from above. The wave itself is harmless.
⊱ Beccata di Rondine: A simple, but quick, series of thrusts from Orion dealt one after another. This can number in up to 50 thrusts. The speed this is performed requires a chunk of stamina to maintain. The stamina cost can be reduced if used in conjunction with an ability that increases his base stats. This series of thrusts takes only a couple of seconds to complete, and moves so fast that it appears as if spears are forming out of thin air around Orion to jab at the opponent.
-NOTE: More forms will be added during the RP, as Orion develops and creates them. These are the basic forms that he was shown.
- While being taught the Shigure Soen Ryu, Orion also was taught how to manipulate water in various ways. Not only was he taught how to utilize it to enable the use of the Shigure Soen style instead of having to always search for bodies of water, he also was taught how to manipulate it outside of the Blue Swallow Style for everyday life. Orion is not a natural born talent when it comes to water manipulation, and as such he is only able to do a minor amount of things. However, he is still learning and has the potential to end up mastering Hydrokinesis.
- ⊱ Water Generation: Orion is capable of generating bodies of water by releasing a pulse of his own wavelength into the air. This pulse is harmless to living things, and virtually undetectable unless you are extremely sensitive to those kinds of things. In response to this pulse, the water molecules in the air condense themselves together and form a foot-deep pool of water that covers the area. If used in a smaller space, it covers the entire topic, if used in a larger area, it covers just the area that Orion is in. This pool lasts for 15 posts before the water is absorbed into the ground. This ability requires moist air, which means dry air (such as in a desert) makes Orion unable to generate water. In order to create a second pool, 5 posts must pass after a pool has disappeared before he can create a new one.
⊱ Bullet: Orion is able to manipulate water to form a small sphere that he can then throw or flick in a direction of his choosing. This sphere, due to its small stature and aerodynamic appearance causes it to move quickly through the air. While it doesn’t do much damage, it packs enough of a punch to knock someone off-balance. Orion is capable of making a multitude of these at once, but must fire them individually.
⊱ Water Dragon: While surrounded by a body of water, Orion is able to manipulate the water to form a large water serpent, which then is directed at an opponent or target of his choosing. The monster rushes head first towards the target and crashes into them with tremendous force. This attack is strong enough to fracture bones and send the target flying back a considerable distance if they do not dodge or block. Orion is also capable of doing this after generating his own pool of water; however, the size, power, and range of this attack is cut in half.
⊱ Water Walking: Orion can manipulate water to form a dense landing for him to stand on whenever he is in a body of water. This landing moves as he does, essentially allowing him to walk on top of the surface of water.
-NOTE: More will be added as Orion grows and learns in RP.
- Growing up in an alternate dimension has its perks. For example: the beings that raised Orion taught him how to slightly manipulate the spatial plane. However, doing so requires a lot of focus and energy to do so. It isn't as easy as it looks. At least, not for Orion. He wasn't naturally introduced to the concept of spatial manipulation, in fact he was forced into it, so he isn't quite so fluid in his manipulation. However, he has developed a series of techniques stemming from this ability that he has practiced enough to use them without much strain.
- ⊱ Spatial Crush: Using minor spatial manipulation, Orion is able to increase the gravity around a select target or a group of indiviuals. This ability, if used on an opponent, will cause their movements to feel sluggish, heavy, and cause their body to use up 1.5 times the amount of stamina to move as they normally would; however, their physical attacks will yeild a greater impact. A normal punch would be twice as powerful and do more damage. Should Orion use this ability on a part of his own body, he is affected in the same way, but his area of affect can be fine tuned and surround an area as narrow as one fist or foot. The area is not locked in space, and travels with his intended target. The affect can last for up to 10 posts, then must be recharged for 3 posts. The larger the targetted area, the more energy spent to activate and resolve this ability.
⊱ Amalgamation: Amalgamation is the process of merging matter with another by overlapping the two objects' spaces, removing their separate boundaries. In Orion's case, he is able to use this ability to teleport. To explain, he uses spatial manipulation to overlap the space that his body takes up with space containing no other living being, then release his space control. The result is the folded space between bounces back to normal, but the overlapped spaces are switched, leaving Orion's body where previously there was empty air. This ability can be used only twice in battle due to the energy consumed if this ability is used under duress, but can be used more outside of combat, as long as their is at least a post between each use.
⊱ Spatial Rift: Similar to Amalgamation, a Spatial Rift is the overlapping of two unconnected spaces; however, unlike Amalgamation, this ability allows Orion to punch a hole through the area that would separate the two spaces to form a portal between them, allowing Orion to transport multiple individuals rather than just himself. This ability requires slightly more energy to activate, but more time to use. Cannot be used during combat.
⊱ Dimensional Slash: Using a blade or the side of his hand, Orion is capable of producing a sharp, thin ripple in the fabric of space that travels out like a wave of energy and is capable of cutting through objects in the same way a sword would, density and all. A blade would cut halfway through a large oak tree, therefore the ripple would cut halfway through an oak tree. The energy consumption for this attack is minimal, and there is no cooldown to use this ability a second time.
⊱ Pocket Dimension: Orion is able to surround an area with a spatial barrier, removing the contents of the barrier from the current space. Sounds cannot penetrate nor escape this barrier, time does not move forward in the outside world though inhabitants still age, even the laws of life and death do not exist in this barrier. Injuries are ignored, mortal or non. Once created, it lasts for a maximum of 20 posts before it dissipates. This pocket space exists outside of the physical plane once created, and as such, those inside are invisible to those outside, and vice versa. Once the barrier begins going away, a pulse of energy is released to signal the return to the normal reality. Although this ability seems like a wonderful one to use during combat, that is not the case. The energy required to activate and maintain this ability drains Orion to nearly empty, leaving him vulnerable for a while and unable to use any of his abilities. This is used more for when friends or allies are wanting to train, or when information needs to be passed on in secret. There is no offensive use to this ability.
- Orion is capable of performing a minor variation of self-resonance in which his soul wavelength releases pulses of energy throughout his body, with each pulse of energy bouncing off of each other to fill every fiber of his being. These pulses increase his stamina, strength, speed, and reflexes, and reaction time immensely, placing Orion on a superhuman level that allows him to fight against monsters of various types with unique abilities. After years of training, Orion is able to keep this self-resonance going until something disrupts his flow of wavelength (such as a strike using soul menace). While this form of self-resonance is active, the color in his eyes fades to a pale white, and his eyes have a feint glow to them.
NOTE: This ability shall be expanded and grow stronger during the course of the RP.
- While Orion was taught how to manipulate water, he was born with the ability to conjure and control electricity. It began as minor static building up within him, giving a light jolt to things he touched; however, over time it grew stronger and he learned how to use it. Orion is a master of this ability, and combining it with his Hydrokinesis has formed some deadly combinations in the past.
- ⊱ Electrogenerator: Orion is capable of generating electricity at will, with the amount seeming to be infinite.
⊱ Zap: A non-offensive, minor jolt of electricity that is more for getting attention than anything else. This is delivered through touch.
⊱ Discharge: After generating a massive amount of electricity, Orion is able to unleash it all in a pulse around his body. This pulse delivers electrical burns to the surrounding area and deals shock damage to anyone it comes in contact with. This pulse extends up to 10 feet in all directions.
⊱ Thunderbolt: Orion generates electricity and concentrates it into his hand, then shoots it outward in a line at a target.
⊱ Plume: Orion can generate a large amount of electricity and surround his body with it, giving himself an aura that deals minor shock damage if someone would come in contact with it. This aura can only be produced once per fight, and dissipates after 10 posts.
⊱ Storm Prodigy: Orion can place his palms on the ground and cause a surge of electricity to run into the earth, directing toward a target. The electricity races along the ground in the intended direction, destroying the earth in its wake. This attack, though it seems simple, is quite powerful and can cause a large amount of shock damage.
⊱ Thunder Gun: By clasping his hands together after gathering electricity in them, then spreading them above his head until his arms are by his side, Orion creates an arc of lightning above him that begins forming buds of electricity along its path. These 5 buds grow rapidly until they are approximately 6 inches in diameter. Once fully grown, they each fire a powerful bolt of lightning in the direction Orion is facing. The formation of the arc and the growing of the buds happens in the same post, with only a couple of moments between them.
⊱ Interception:Orion is capable of taking control of electricity that he didn't generate himself and use it as part of his attacks.
⊱ Electroball: Orion generates and forms a sphere of electricity in the palm of his hand that he can then throw at a target. This sphere expands when it hits the ground, causing a surge of electricity within its shape. Anything caught within is bombarded with electrical damage for 1 full post.
⊱ Jump Start: Orion can absorb electricity that he didn't generate in order to replenish stamina and energy. Likewise, he is able to output electricity to give power to an electrical device or battery that is out of power.
⊱ Rubber Skin: Orion has been described as having rubber skin, because his body has built up a natural resistance to electricity. Even outside electricity doesn't phase him. However, the Kirin ability does still permeate his rubber skin and deal damage to him.
⊱ Emotion Wave: While in the presence of water, Orion is able to release a jolt of electricity through the water to deal electrical damage to enemies within its contents. This ability cannot discriminate, and even allies get caught within. He can combine this with his water generation ability, however in doing so he runs the risk of shorting himself out, being unable to access his electrical abilities or water based abilities for the duration of the battle.
⊱ Halberd: Orion is able to condense a highly concentrated amount of electricity into the form of a long slender halberd in his hands. He is able to attack head on with this creation, or can throw it at a target at high speeds. Either way, if this halberd makes contact with a surface other than Orion's hands, it explodes with electrical force and engulfs a 10 foot-diameter area in electricity, dealing shock damage for a full post on anyone trapped inside. However, despite Orion's resistance to electricity, this ability deals damage to Orion in the form of blunt concussive force damage.
⊱ Kirin: The only ability that actually requires any source of outside electricity: Kirin can only take place during a thunderstorm. By concentrating electricity in his hand and pointing towards the sky, Orion can call down a massive bolt of lightning to attack the area around him. Completely destroying the terrain and dealing massive electrical damage to anyone caught in the bolt. This attack can only be used once during the storm, and in doing so Orion takes heavy damage.
⊷ Shall Be Developed as the RP Progresses
- Ability to be discovered.
⊷ Shall Be Developed as the RP Progresses
- Ability to be discovered.
- Unbeknownst to Orion or anyone else for that matter, there is a dark malevolent presence hiding deep beneath the boys skin. If one were able to look into his subconscious or see the finer parts of his soul, they would notice a large, ominous gate that has been chained up and sealed with various magic spells.
NOTE: I do not intend to make this a part of Orion's story yet, though I will be coming up with a personal line of RP events that will involve this gate after a while.
