Karmesin Mordant Alizarina, otherwise known as Orichas or simply Ori, is a Huntsman-in-training and inspiring chef. He is the main protagonist of an upcoming saga of fanfictions. He is the rather straightforward and focused leader of Team KMSN.

Physical
Ori is a human young male who is five feet and ten inches tall, weighing in at one hundred and seventy six pounds (seventy-nine kilograms). He has a tan complexion, with an athletic body type. His eyes are naturally neon blue, but he wears contacts to make them yellow. He does this so that way his tribe members, or "his kin", do not refer to him by his father's name.

Other than that, he has a huge amount of scars on his chest from his Initiation experience, his various tattoos (including his tribal tattoo on his forearm; a red moon behind a black tree), and a birthmark on his lower left calf that's barely noticeable.

Attire
One could usually see Ori sporting a red sweatshirt hoodie, a black graphic tee underneath, black denim jeans, and red/black boots that resemble sneakers. He sometimes could be seen without his sweatshirt during the hotter seasons, or wearing some similar, heavier clothing. Ori could be also seen with opposite colored clothes.

For accessories, he wears an ear band and earring on his left ear. He wears two bracelets on his left wrist and a watch on his right one. He has several alternate attires, including a black and white suit and tie, his Beacon uniform, his light armor set nicknamed the "RESOLVE" armor, seasonal clothes, and his legacy clothing (basically him in his younger version's attire).

Personality
Ori's personality is.. hard to explain. His behaviors are mostly dependent on his surroundings and his mood at the time. From far away, he's seems like a loner. He trains constantly, doing strenuous, taxing exercises as he listens to music. He would want to be left be so he could finish his training, but when he's done, he relaxes alone. Whenever he's like this, he walks with a relaxed slump and a bittersweet smile. He reflects heavily on his life thus far and some of the future goals he has planned.

Most of the time, whenever he's comfortable, he's a showoff-dazzler. He does a very flashy entrance, naming himself to be not only great, but THE GREAT. He asserts himself to a newcomer, referring to himself as Orichas, The Great! ... Though, you can just call him Ori. After the whole lights and cameras act, he acts like a pretty chill person. Almost the point of being actually normal...

He's a humble, kind and lazy fellow around friends. He pokes light jokes at others to get a reaction, rather it be just a light blush or a empty threat. Ori usually says a bunch of catchphrases, such as "ahoy" and "kinky", and is very recognizable from his greeting (due to him being the only one who uses those phrases). He strangely keeps a lot of things about his past and family withheld from a lot of people.

As one would get closer, Ori would treat them as if they were apart of his family. He is more willing to tell them more stuff about him, but still persists to keep some specific things withheld. At this point, Ori could be referred to as "Karm" freely, and he accepts it. For the ones that pay attention to his mild mood swings at the mention of some topics might even predict that Ori isn't showing his true colors.

Around someone he is in a romantic relationship in (at the moment, he's dating a girl named Jam Kuroberi), he acts very open about everything. He's VERY respectful of his lover's space (even though they would probably like to get all over his space). Karm refers to "Orichas" as a persona and is glad that he could truly act like himself around his lover. He's mostly referred to as that one boyfriend who constantly outdoes himself way too often for his own good. Though, would he be great if he didn't give his lovely mate the time of day they deserve?

Around those he hates, it's VERY dependent on who he's dealing with. If they're an asshole to him, he will probably act just as bad. If they are respectful, calculating, and cunning, he will probably treat them as an admirable foe and will probably even work with them, if they are working against a common enemy. When he's facing someone who's criminally insane, he will probably be stoic and focused on taking them out as soon as possible. If they prove to be a threat to innocents, he will be obliged to kill them.

Ori's true self is... sort of sad and pitiful. He's constantly overshadowed by the success and skills of others so much so that he feels like that he's utterly helpless/useless in a social/physical situation. He doesn't socialize with others because they don't pay much attention to him, which leaves him to keep his advice for them for himself. Another thing he strives for is protecting others, but with their experience, they're mostly saving him or protecting themselves.

He's literally a lonely child. He barely has any memories of his parents, nor does he have any siblings, as far as he knows. He had to learn most things by himself, and there's still some basic things he doesn't have any knowledge of. Ori keeps this under wraps due to the painful feeling of not even knowing what it's like to have someone to raise you.

To sum up Ori, he's a young man with a facade to hide insecurities, hopefully one day able to balance out his life and to not be worried about the constant struggle of weakness. Maybe one day he will recieve what he has reaped for... Or one day, everything could just all go away in an instant.

Trivia

 * Orichas is a concept of the user's first character, which was supposed to be an RWBYsona. This has been scrapped in favor of doing a story with him.
 * Orichas' real name, Karmesin Alizarina, is German (Karmesin) and Italian (Alizarina) for "crimson" and "alizarin" respectfully. Yes, yes, basic name, judge me.
 * Karm is the only one of his village who uses the icepick grip for his blades. No one really knows why he uses it, while he just affirms that it's comfy.
 * His faux ego is a running gag with his friends. Most people kid around about it, with a certain girlfriend of his nearly breaking Ori's ego entirely, through humility training.
 * Ori is a Capricorn, being born on January 13th.
