CHILDHOOD

Ori grew up within the mountains of Aldenard, just upon the outskirts of Ala Mhigo. He lived a modest but kind life, having spent his growing days scaling the mountains and taking notes in the art of spagyrics from his mother, who would take patients from the townsfolk further down the mountainside. These experiences inspired him to become a doctor, and he found great joy in helping others.

Those aspirations were all but forgotten during the invasion of the Empire, around his 15th summer. Ori's father was soon dragged off to join the fray, never to be heard from again. His mother would spend the rest of her years in grief and plotting revenge. Slipping home brewed poisons into the rations of the Garleans who made themselves familiar within their home, she paid the ultimate price for her actions, leaving Ori to further atone in her stead.

Heartbroken, alone, and yet determined to see their wishes come true, Ori took it upon himself to see that their home be saved from the hands of the Empire. Eventually caught in his acts of rebellion and taken prisoner within Garlemald, Ori spent countless years fighting back against his treatment. Despite the trauma hes come to endure, his spirit never wavered—finding hope in liberation and the dawn of a better future.

SHADOWBRINGERS

Having found himself in Amh Araeng, Ori took quickly to the daily lives of those who took care at the Inn at Journey's Head. He held great concern over the patients there, and tried his best to understand the local plant and wildlife, in so that he may be able to figure out some type of medicine that may slow the turning process.

Having done as much as he could, his attention eventually moved toward the Crystarium, where he—to his surprise—reunited with Thancred once again, and met with the Exarch. The two tanks agree to work together in the years spent before the rest of the Scions are called onto the First, and in that time, Ori hones his skills in wielding the Gunblade, officially putting down his sword and shield in favor of the weapon.

In some three odd years, other Scions find themselves within Novrandt, until the WoL arrives and the group are all called together. Ori puts his hand in to their efforts of seeing this shard be saved from the light.

It is not until the Scions find their way through Emet-Selch's memories of the Sundering that they run into a figure that seems to resemble their lost friend. It declares itself the name Mikael, and goes on the attack in one last attempt at protecting Amaurot's citizens of the Final Days.

Mikael retreats just moments before defeat, and many are sure that the figure is Orisis. But there are more pressing matters at hand, and the group tucks away their thoughts as they turned to confront Hades in a decisive battle for all of Novrandt.

Unable to trace their friend's whereabouts in the aftermath, the group pressed on, having decided to tackle the delimma of returning home to the Source, and figuring out how to deal with the last of the unsundered, Elidibus.

A trip back to Amaurot and access to Anamnesis Anyder not only reveals the true identity of Elidibus, but of Mikael as well... an Amaurotine who gave himself away to the experimentation of creation magic, the appointed Archangel acted as a guardian to Amaurot, and died protecting it in its last moments. Reborn as their friend Orisis, Emet had reawakened those memories in him, causing the party to defeat the angel once more before calling out to Ori in an attempt to bring him back to reality.

PALADIN
PREARR-STB. Ori trained in tanking while within Garlemald and conscripted into their army. Ironically to the Empire, he continues to use this class after escaping to fight against them.

⚔ GUNBREAKER ⚔
SHB and his main class. Despite being taught by Radovan the same time as Thancred, Ori does not hone his skills with the weapon until the two reunite in Novrandt. He grows to love the rush of fighting with gunblades, and eventually puts down his shield in favor of them.

WARRIOR
SHB. His involvement with the Virtue Hunters leads him to learn more of the former Warriors of Light, and of Ardbert. Orisis picks up the axe in honor of the man he's come to admire.

Orisis is a very reserved man, and such demeanor is often misinterpreted as broodiness or intimidation. Ori is simply rather quiet, and chooses not to readily socialize with others. His time spent within Garlemald warped his personality and perspective of the life hes lived, from a bright, optimistic love for the world to that of a man filled with trauma, grief, and a realistic outlook for what it truly is.

Despite knowing and having experienced these harsh realities, Ori is not quick to lose hope—willingly throwing himself into the fray for the dream of a better future. While he does not readily express it, Orisis is a passionate, devout man when it comes to his friends, family, and sense of justice, willingly helping others for the good of all. While he can be blunt on occasion and is a man of few words, one could easily understand his true intent and emotions with one look of his eyes.

Described by a friend, Ori "Has kind, sad eyes and a gentle soul." He is incredibly kind, considerate, and down to earth, regardless of how often he may choose to interact with others. He reliable and is quick to accept when asked for help, always going the extra mile when doing so. He has a way of easing a person's fears, and is easily someone to count on in times of trouble.

♡ Mikael also possessed wings, covered in white shining feathers, that help him to fullfil his duties.

♡ He is multicanon! <3

♡ Yes he has booba-

Mikael was an amaurotine unlike the others that dwelled within Amaurot. Giving his body and soul into the research of creation magic, he was given wings and deemed the title of "Archangel," the first of very few who would soon follow him.

The strength of his magic and physical prowess made him the perfect candidate to guard the city and its people from danger. He was lead of many groups that would serve to protect the safety and order of the streets of Amaurot.

Serving under a particular researcher, he was also tasked with overseeing subjects created through magic, including himself. If any were to go berserk, with no chance of salvation, he would answer to end their suffering.

As buildings fell and the skyline bloomed red in flames, it was Mikael who stood tall in the face of fate, standing guard over the city and its people as the Final Days marked their end. As his soul returned to the lifestream, its memories of tragedy lay forgotten in the warmth and love of a couple in Aldenard...
