Orion xe Aquarii
SupportingAlso known as: Orion
Orion's squat frame bulges with shoulders like forged iron, azure tattoos glowing on dark skin under pale arctic eyes. Bald and commanding, she smirks with a pilot's knowing edge. You sense the math of stars in her every calculated step.
Orion xe Aquarii begins as a plump, dark-skinned Blue pilot with azure math tattoos in Golden Son, rising swiftly to captain aboard the Pax where her technical prowess and predatory smirk make her a vital ally in Darrow's fleet. By Morning Star she commands from the bridge with quiet ferocity, her pale eyes and muscular frame anchoring critical space maneuvers for the Rising. In Dark Age, brutal torture has reduced her to a gaunt, ashen figure marked by resFlesh grafts, seizures, and metal prosthetic fingers, yet her unyielding naval genius repeatedly saves Darrow's forces before her death leaves him devastated.
Physical Description
Orion is a plump dark-skinned Blue woman around 40, her squat body dominated by massive shoulders, bald pate adorned with swirling digital azure tattoos on crown, temples, hands, and neck—equations like Larmor’s formula and Maxwell’s. Pale arctic eyes pierce sharply. Often in captain's uniform with winged star badge, she paces with smirking authority. Skin nearly as dark as her form-fitting black uniform, Orion boasts a muscular, broad-shouldered build with meaty, powerful hands. Her large pale eyes dominate a strong face, often curved into a nasty white smile revealing sharp edges. She stands tall and commanding, exuding intensity on the bridge, every movement precise and forceful. A once-stout but now severely stick-thin woman with ashen skin beaded in sweat from intense neural strain, her face visibly mottled with fresh resFlesh grafts that have replaced large eaten-away sections from brutal torture. She possesses striking bright blue eyes that convey both trauma and unyielding spirit, whether focused in command or twitching in seizure. New metal prosthetic fingers extend from her knuckles, and she wears a prisoner jumpsuit with bare feet often visible, marked by a trident ring signifying her rank as fleet navarch.
