//Personality & Character:
Orion doesn’t feel the need to be the star of the show by any means, but the people he is around he likes to make sure that they have a smile on their faces as much as possible. Nothing ever really seems to upset him, He thinks ‘outside the box’ so to speak. It’s because of this trait that he can accept things as they happen. That things happen the way they happen for a reason, as part of the bigger picture. Not the one to show his negative emotions, when he is upset you could never guess by looking at him. Despite this he is a light-hearted person, generally happy if in no other mood. He has a good sense of humor, having the ability to laugh when poked fun at. Not a shy person, he simply has a hard time introducing himself to people. When you get to know him he is as loyal to his friends as anyone could be. He will believe whatever people tell him, unless he has been given a reason to distrust someone. If that happens he wont hold a grudge against them, it will just take a lot for him to trust them again. He holds his morals in high regard. He prefers to help those in need, and won’t sit by if he can help out in some way. He is known to be a good listener.
Orion is no quitter. He likes to take on the harder tasks, to really push his limits and boundaries to become better. He gets bored of things that present little challenge, and will put in minimal effort if any at all. Although when presented with a difficult challenge he gives it everything he has and never says die. He won’t accept defeat as an option.
Orion joined the garden simply because he took an interest in combat. The idea of joining the regular military seemed too basic for him. Just run and shoot. Orion liked the sound of Garden very much though, a place where he could train in physical combat, with a weapon of his choice. A weapon he chooses to fight the way he chooses to. Dedicating his career to honing his skills, improving himself, and striving to forever improve himself was a life Orion believed to be worth living.

//Combat Data & Limit Break
Orion uses a straight edged ninja blade. Its handle is 10 inches long, it is long enough for 2 hands to be used, but not long enough where it would counterbalance the blade and be required. The blade itself is 27 inches long. The sword is light enough to be used single with one hand, but easily strong enough to be used with two. The blade is made out of traditional tempered steel. The steel of the blade goes right into the handle (known as a “Full Tang” blade) with an Oak handle wrapped in grip like cloth. On the handle under the cloth is written “Courage and Honor”.
Orion mainly fights swift and light-footed, more likely to dodge than to brace. Orion prefers the use of speed and well placed attacks as opposed to brute force. Rather than match swords, Orion is more likely to throw the opponent off guard and strike vulnerabilities. Orion’s combat training is focused on meaningful blows of precision. If the situation calls for it Orion will grab his sword with both hands, weather to attack or to parry a heavy attack that would require a more defensive stance. By default however, Orion prefers quick and nimble attacks and fights with a one handed sword style.
Orion uses mainly light armor. His preferred combat attire is a custom made leather tunic and a pair of forearm guards. His custom, sleeveless leather tunic has 2 layers to it. In between the layers is a row of chain mail. On his wrists he has guards that wrap all the way around his forearms, starting from his wrist to a few inches below his elbows. He makes a point to not wear anything that would restrict his movement.
[Limit Break] Orion pulls his blade to his side, adopting an almost samurai like stance. In a sudden rush, Orion dashes towards his target. This limit has two iterations, a horizontal slash or a forward thrust. The horizontal slash drives Orion’s sword with his full body weight behind it across the mid section of his target. The forward thrust drive the tip of Orion’s blade into the centre of mass of his target, with Orion’s full weight and momentum behind it, driving the target backward if possible.
//History
Orion was the second child born into the family Celest. Born after his older brother Chaos (age 18), and before his two younger sisters Sarah (age 14) and Jade (age 12).
Born into a middle class family, Orion was not hard stricken during his youth but still knew hard work ethic. He has been described as someone who could think outside the box, mindful of cause and reaction, and consequences. When events that should normally trouble a child happened, Orion could look at the bigger picture and understand why it had to happen. Seeming somewhat emotionally closed off worried his parents. However, he seemed to just continue to grow and take in everything around him and accept it for what it was. Orion would often rely on his factual logic to achieve his goals. Not particularly booksmart however, Orion would rely on factual problem solving and process of elimination to make difficult decisions. The one thing Orion cherished most was his immediate family. Particularly close with his older brother and willing to protect his sisters with body and soul.
