Breed- Seal lynx point siamese
Profession- Guard
Soulbound- Kaethe
Mate- Snowflake

Personality-
Laidback and charismatic, Orro is the sort of guy you could describe as a 'lady-killer'. His easy acceptance and casual friendliness with everyone, coupled with his level temper and 'cool' demeanor make him what girls dream about and squee over. Despite this, he's never had much interest in them. A fling here and there, but no real infatuation or any sign of intending to settle down. He is also quite skilled with words, and has a knack for swaying an opinion with just a few casual meows. He's extroverted and very social, feeling most comfortable around a large group of his tribe-mates, who he sees as his extended family. He also tends to walk into things quite often, as he lacks whiskers.

Brief Backstory-
Orro was born into Water-tribe, in a litter of four, with two loving and loyal parents. At the age of one month, left alone to nap in the nursery by their mother, the kits were approached by their father, and tempted with an explore outside the camp. The two boys readily followed him out of the camp, but the girls were not quite so naive. They stayed in the nursery, forcing their father to go back for them. When he returned, there was only one kit with him, hanging limp in his mouth, and he seemed extremely agitated. He tried to usher the kits father from camp, but one kit, thinking it was a game, skipped away from him. Jeriko quickly became frustrated with him, dropped the kit in his mouth, and pinned the male down by his whiskers. At this point, the kit realized it was no longer a game. He struggled wildly, finally managing to wrench himself free, at the cost of his whiskers. He fled across the island, spending several days wandering in confusion, before stumbling into one of the underground caverns of the semi-disbanded Shadow-tribe. He was found and taken in by member of the tribe, and raised as though he was born there. Over the years, his memory of Water-tribe has faded, replaced with years of living his new life.

One fateful night, during which Orro had been assigned guard duty with another male, he witnessed firsthand the beginning of the feud between Shadow and Fire tribes. His partner for that night, Furor, went to investigate a noise among the trees, and never returned. Orro followed him, and stumbled upon the bleeding body of his tribe-mate. A stranger stood over his body, claws drenched in blood, and quite obviously the killer. The stranger (who Orro later learned to be a Fire-tribe healer by the name of Stark,) fled the scene, and he was left along to bring Furor's body back to camp. He never quite god over the thought that he was responsible for his tribe-mate's death, though he eventually accepted that what had happened could not be changed.

Some time later, an unexpected encounter with a fire-triber named Tzurai, coupled with the words of a mysterious stranger, brought about the rediscovery of Orro's family. The fire-triber was revealed to be his sister, and the revelation brought them even closer. Despite the fact that his leader wished death on ever Fire-triber, Orro became very close friends with his sister. It was also around this time that he met the Earth-tribe deputy, Snowflake, and found himself falling head-over-heels for the male. Though their love was forbidden, for more reasons than one, he was still overjoyed to find his feelings reciprocated.

As the stirrings of war began to spread among all five tribes, Orro became increasingly afraid for his loved ones. He fell into a deep depressive state, spending his time pacing and patrolling, while avoiding guard duty. It took a deep and highly felt conversation with a she-cat named Kalani, along with a few well placed verbal smacks from his close friend Kaethe, to bring him back to his senses. His friendship with Kaethe began to grow even further, and it wasn't long before they chose become soul-bonds, tied irretrievably to each other.

Now that the war had become impossible to ignore, Orro was faced with a choice- Stay loyal to his leader, or return to the rebellion. Snowflake was adamant that he come live in Earth tribe, but Orro, unwilling to leave behind his tribe, who he felt were like family, refused. Instead, he became a spy for them, living in Shadow and relaying information to his sister and mate. It was highly dangerous, and he knew it, but he felt that he had to actively protect his loved ones, and this seemed the only option. Unfortunately, it was also his downfall. His motives discovered, he was taken in by the Water-tribe leader and tortured mercilessly. Finally, she took his life, and hid his body away in the deepest recesses of her den. It would be quite a while until his rotting corpse was found by a handful of Alliance apprentices, becoming the cause of their banishment. Ironically, one of these apprentices was his niece.

Sullivan
/
I don't know him all that well, but I think he's funny. He can spin a good tale. In retrospect, I feel a bit bad about taking out some of my grumpiness on him.

Damian
/

Sango
/
My apprentice, though I really don't know him all that well. He's... sweet? I guess? He's certainly got a spine. And even if he says that he and Maika 'aren't', I still think they're adorable together. I can tell they're very close friends. I'm not sure if this is such a good thing though, with the way the tribes are now... Next time his friend comes sneaking into camp, he might be there to save her.

Kalani
/
She's nice, and a lot more friendly than most of my tribe. She gave me a good reality check when I was starting to lose it, and reminded me that I'm not the only one going through some tough times right now. I like her practical outlook on things. I really want to hang out with her some more.

Kaethe
/
Kaethe is... Well, she's Kaethe. Our relationship is a little odd, but I have to say, I'm really quite fond of her.

Maika
/
She's a spazz, no doubt about it. She's cute though, and I think it's very sweet that she came all the way into Shadow-tribe territory just to see Sango. I don't think she likes me all that much though... Probably because I teased her so much. I kinda feel bad about that now.

Tzurai
/
She saved my from myself... I really should have known better than to climb that tree. I like that she didn't hold Killan's attack against me, even though he's my leader. She's smart, she's funny, and she's not too over-the-top. I quite like her, and even before I knew she was my sister, I felt like we had the potential to become good friends. I'm little ashamed to admit it, but perhaps do to so long without any family, I feel especially attached to her now.

Snowflake
/
I love him. I love him, I love him, I love him, and I don't care what anyone says. He's the sweetest, most adorable cat I have ever met, and I cannot express how lucky I am to know that my feelings are reciprocated. We have tough times ahead of us, but I'm confident we'll make it through somehow. I would do anything to protect him.

Killian
/
He's my leader, and I respect him... But to be honest, I'm not sure I particularly like him. He's harsh, quick to anger, and doesn't seem to think before he acts. He's a brave cat, but for his qualities, I don't know if he makes a very good leader. And the more he descends into insanity, the more afraid I become. For myself, for my mate, for my sister, and for my tribe. All the tribes, really...

Stark
/
I never really knew this cat, but he killed Furor, and for that, I'm not sure I can ever think fondly of him. From what I hear though, he didn't seem the type to do such a thing. And he cried. Which leads me to wonder if he really had a good reason...
