• Rank: Page

New Caledonia members may assume and reference the following without discussion/asking:

• Seeing him...
  • ... Swimming in the sea of Sword Coast
  • ... Following Clyde around
  • ... Adventuring a little away from the coast

Details

• Build and Size: Orca grows at an almost unnatural rate, a size that brings him a look of intimidation and strength, but that plagues the boy with constant pain and a feeling of being slow and tired.
• Fur: Thick from his wolf heritage.
• Humanization: Fairly humanized as he lives on a ship, however frequently uses his Lupus form to avoid being too big.
• Optime Hair: Short and a bit spiked, unknown to him but very similar to his father's.
• Scars and other Modifications:
• A jagged scar above his left brow, the cause of his memory loss.
• A cut in his left ear from a near-miss with an arrow.

Other

• Preference: Optime - (When shifted)
• Height: 42 in (107 cm) in Lupus, 8ft (96 in / 244 cm) in Optime
• Weight: 140 lbs (63 kg) in Lupus, 380 lbs (172 kg) in Optime
• Issues with Size: Orca is incredibly big. His size is often attributed to what Clyde likes to call a 'Gift of the Sea', but it can often be more of a curse. The boy will never know life without some kind of pain. His joints, particularly his elbows, frequently go stiff or ache. His lower back goes through days of spiking in pain, especially when Orca moves too fast or lifts something. Once he uses his Optime form more, his feet will also develop frequent sores from having to hold up his massive weight. Internally, Orca also struggles with fatigue, lasting around half the time as someone of more average height when doing a job. He hardly ever runs to avoid depleting his energy, conserving it instead to use when swimming, fishing, or to simply talk.

Markings

• Around Orca's feet and lower half the colours go from white to silver then immediately into the contrasting tones of a deep onyx colour which covers the majority of his body.

Basics

Orca is a kind young man. Perhaps that comes from deep down in his blood, or perhaps he just soaked in what he learnt from being around Clyde. Either way, Orca just wants to be nice, do good things, and escape that darkness of his past. Not knowing where he comes from scares the boy, but Orca is determined to become something better despite it, taking after Clyde and wanting to be a good and useful son.

His fear of others will begin to fade as he gets used to life around other canine again, living on a ship does come with the downfall of not socialising much, but time will make it easy for the shy Orca.

He has multiple streaks of intense fear, usually triggered by reoccuring nightmares or certain words that jolt some lost parts of his memory. Try as he might to fight them, they usually leave Orca shaken and more prone to hiding away, the boy choosing this rather than risk lashing out.

Interactions

• Speech: Deep for his age, though doesn't carry very far, speaks with a Scottish accent but it can be shaky at times
• Scent: Sea salt, fish
• Quirks, Gestures, Etc.: Can huff a lot, usually when in a bit of pain.
• General Posture and Body Language: Sits a lot, usually a bit appeasing.

Strengths

Weaknesses

• Swimming (Apprentice): Orca takes to the water like his namesake, finding himself more at home swimming than any other form of movement. Being encouraged to swim as much as possible, Orca finds it easy to stay afloat or even dive a few feet down, and practices almost every day to work on how long he can stay underwater or how fast he can swim around.
• Physical Strength: Born with a huge body and working it daily with swimming or other work, Orca will be physically strong and capable of lifting a lot of weight. So long as he can deal with the consequences.

• Size: Just as much as it gives him physical strength, Orca's size also brings him pain and makes a lot of things in life almost impossible. Try as he might, helping to sail the Wee Lass will always be tricky, as will crafting nets for fishing.
