Ori is the second oldest of five half-siblings, with his brother being his elder. like most older siblings of the Goro tribe, he helped raise his younger sisters when they were small. even now having left his home, Ori tends to take on an elder brother role towards his younger comrades.

Ori hates himself so yes. he's committed enough atrocities to objectively be considered a bad person but he would think that of himself regardless. Suutir does not think Ori is a bad person though & will try to convince him for the rest of their life that there's nuance here.

Ori is my transfem horse & Teruki is my genderless fish.
peruse the #orisweep & #FSHverse tags to find my pages (ship stuff)
Ori's father comes from a long lineage of Goro religious scholars that date back to the tribe's inception. his dad's aunt is the current Khatun/udgan. Ori's mother is third generation Goro, with her grandfather hailing from the Himaa tribe. this is why Ori has twin half sisters :]

Ori also identifies as a "man" but only inasmuch as he is a gay man. he doesn't have the language for this but in modern terminology he'd be nonbinary, likely also transfem. but him being a gay man is a gender identity in & of itself so that's what he goes with.
#orisweep
Orion was a big butch bear of a gay man. he embodied nurturing masculinity & identified strongly as a man who loved other men. every Orion shard is homosexual, regardless of gender or presentation, which is the only consistent trait amongst them. Ori is very fem compared to Orion's masc.

Ori's canon minion is Midgardsormr! Ori got his magic dragon hybrid soul from Midgardsormr bestowing his power to him to defeat Omega. the minion version is an empty vessel but still has a bit of a personality. he's more like a kittycat than a great wyrm these days
#orisweep
Orion has existed in many forms across the Source, most of whom have been farmers & ranchers of little note. however, one of the first notable shards was a violent & cruel war lord who existed in the age before the Calamity of Wind. this was the first Orion shard the Unsundered Ascians met
#orisweep
circles & triangles make up my buddy Ori. i truly haven't drawn Teruki enough to figure out his simple shapes but i think he's probably also triangles
#orisweep
my buddy Ori :')
#orisweep
Ori would not do this but this is what he would look like lmao
#orisweep
i have baby Oris to share. he's brand new in the first imagine & like 2yrs in the second image
#orisweep
Ori's mom is Altani of the Goro. she loves her son!
#orisweep
Ori is a happy sleepy drunk & i love drawing him that way so so much
#orisweep
Ori's dad is Kaidur of the Goro. he does not love his son.

Orion invented horses & other ungulates. he meant for them to frolic & play in the meadow. the horse trend caught on & people started making hybrids (pegasus, unicorn, hippocampus, etc). the horses of Etheirys remain unchanged in form & temperament amidst the Sundering
#orisweep kinda
i don't think Ori would be embarrassed by anything he did as a kid cus he did the things all kids do. however he would roll his eyes if any loved ones asked to see how well he can draw in the dirt these days. pics related (ages 2 and 7, respectively)
#orisweep
the thing abt Ori is that i do think he is the most powerful mortal on the planet. he can, theoretically, take on anything & win. HOWEVER. he is chronically injured & horrifically traumatized bc of his role as The Most Powerful Mortal On The Planet. therein lies the chance of failure.

Ori's favorite food is the little hand pies from his home tribe on the Steppe, particularly in the way his mom would make them. the filling is usually spiced meat but other fillings are used depending on the occasion.
#orisweep
Ori is autistic which is important to his narrative like all his other inherent traits are. the Goro tribe is very uplifting to autistic folk (it's common amongst the population) so his upbringing was very supportive & he was never expected to assimilate or hide his traits (1/?)
#orisweep
Ori yearns. craves, even. to be okay. he wants to merely be okay but he is never allowed to be okay because being okay is at odds with being the WoL. in the absence of being okay, he seeks to be held & cared for & loved. at this point, that's enough.
#orisweep
please behold my beloved Ori. he also used to be a farmer. he's got it all
