Personality:
Quiet/Withdrawn/Serious - Like his father, Orr tends to keep things hidden under the surface. No matter what he's feeling, his exterior stays unruffled looking. Plus he tries not to come under the scrutiny of his mom by acting out of turn. He has a serious personality and approaches challenges and problem solving in a practical, logical manner.

Vain/Finicky/Perfectionist - Orrick is very aware that he is a LORD who has to look his best at every moment. Mom’s constant grooming made him very particular about keeping himself clean and tidy. What some stags might consider excessive neatness, Orr sees as basic hygiene. He has to be the perfect looking child. A surefire way to rouse Orrick’s usually dormant temper is to mess with his looks intentionally. The world is a filthy, mucky place and Orr reluctantly makes peace with that. Everyday grime, while a frustrating nuisance, is part of the natural order of the world. But someone who is deliberately causing a mess that includes Orrick? Repulsive! Villainous!

Strategic/Calculating/Diplomatic - One day, Orrick will be great at politics. He quickly understands the motivations of others, and will use that information to his every advantage. Orr learns how to get what he wants while raising the least amount of suspicion. He would never be so crude as to be found out for pulling the strings in his favor. Some might consider him manipulative, but he prefers to think of himself as cunning and circumspect instead.

Curious/Investigative/Meddling - Despite his deadpan exterior, Orrick delights in seeing how other fawnlings react to different situations. He loves to mix things up and watch the results, whether that be someone physically going outside their comfort zone, or arranging things so that fawns who would otherwise never interact must come into contact with each other. Naturally such scenarios are rarely traced back to him in a negative manner! Should he put his mind to it, Orrick would likely be an excellent matchmaker. But a LORD does have other duties to occupy his time!

Protective/Loyal/Defensive - Convinced that one cannot be a true lord if one cannot keep their family and loved ones safe, Orrick has become increasingly protective of his siblings, especially those that are younger than him. Orrick is particularly concerned with the welfare of his full baby brother, Ffael, and will thoroughly trounce anyone who tries to mess with his baby bro, whether it the trouncing be verbal or physical. He is not afraid of pain, and not afraid of standing up to ANYONE.

All together now! To summarize:
On the outside, Orrick does all he can to ensure he looks unflappable and perfectly bred. Living up to his title as Lord, and as a firstborn son of a Princess, is incredibly important to him.
Internally, Orrick hides a highly curious and clever mind. It's not that he thinks everyone else is a puppet he can control, but more that he understands he is part of a great game of politics - and he intends to play his part well, while ensuring everyone around him is caught up too. Despite the enjoyment he takes from setting fawnlings up for new experiences, Orrick does not himself appreciate surprises.
Once he understands the scope of the world around him as well as within the echelons of Glenmore nobility, it wouldn't be too surprising to find that Orrick has dreams of gaining a position of even greater power and esteem than a Lord. Whoever holds the throne better watch out! If this unsuspected scheming schemer isn’t aimed in the right direction, or at the right enemy, he could end up causing a fair bit of chaos within Glenmore!

Appearance:
Orrick is a traditional dark stag who used to take great pains to keep his coat and mane as tidy as possible. Lately he has lost significant weight, allowing ribs to show. His mane and tail grow long and straight, and despite neglect retain a glossy smoothness.

History:
Born into the high society of Glenmore, Orrick is his father’s, Lord Knox’s, first fawn out of his Princess mate, Brighid. Both parents have strong expectations for their first born son, and once he understands that the expectations exist, Orrick rises to meet them as best he can. Much like his father, Orrick tends to show the world a stoic or scowling exterior, regardless of his inner feelings.

After Knox's defeat at the tines of Lord Raven in Autumn 765, Orrick was a deeply changed colt. His budding understanding of the need to be the perfect son became twisted into the notion that if he is not absolutely perfect, his loved ones will be injured or stolen away. Gone are the days when Orrick tried to make himself smile, and now he is found with brows permanently furrowed and mouth set in a frown. He pushes himself relentlessly to become stronger, faster, BETTER. Orrick is especially protective of his baby brother Ffael, who was born with an unfortunately pale coat. He is concerned at their mother's behavior towards the younger colt, and is starting to realize that Mommy and Daddy may not be as perfect as he thought they were all along.

Ffael's death in winter 768 shattered his older brother. Orrick lapsed into a year of deep mourning, depression and numbness. He became unresponsive and mute to everyone in his life, barring a few moments of clarity. Deep down, Orrick knows it was his fault that his brother died. He should have been there. He didn't keep one of the few creatures he loved safe. Grief led the young lord to wander aimlessly away from his family and hallucinate that Ffael was still alive, simply hiding out of sight.

After a year, Orrick has finally awakened from his anguished haze. Still raw with loss but realizing that he would cause his own death if he didn't make some changes, Orrick is attempting to return to noble life. He still rarely speaks and wears expressions of solemnity. In the wake of his sorrow, he has found solace in anger. His days are filled with relentless training to strengthen his body, and enforced rest to recover from a year of deprivation. He refuses to allow himself friendships and affections and holds all at arms length. Close ties are pitfalls of grief and loss waiting to happen.


Relationships:
Lord Knox: Orrick’s father has always had high expectations for his son, and Orr puts every effort into meeting and surpassing those lofty goals. Disappointing his father, even slightly, is devastating to Orr. Conversely, Orr is a foil to his father’s temper. Rants, raves and sharp words wash over him like waves on a beach. He loves his father deeply, while not being blinded to his flaws. He places great respect in the way that his father uses his distinctive nature to turn heads and achieve his goals. Knox is one of the rare few fanwlings that Orrick will show true affection towards. Orrick feels as though his father is one of the few fawns that actually understands what it can be like to have such a deadpan exterior, and that it doesn’t indicate the soul within is unmovable.

Princess Brighid: Orrick’s mother is a doe of strong opinions and flaying words. Orrick considers her sharp mind to be the most attractive feature a doe can possess, and enjoys listening to his mom dissect the world around them. Another parental figure with intense expectations, both for herself and her firstborn son, that Orr strives to succeed in! He absolutely looks to his mom to further his understanding of other fawnlings’ behaviors, and how they can be best turned to their family’s advantage. While Orr loves his mother just as much as his father, as he grows older his ability to show her unrestrained affection becomes a personal challenge. To honor and respect Brighid, Orrick must be the perfect Lord -and unfortunately perfect Lords do not spend the day snuggling with mommy dearest once they get older!
