General Dressing Style:

Off the job, Orion wears casual and comfortable clothing, usually jeans and a plain t-shirt, though cargo shorts aren't uncommon in the summer months, and he prefers hoodies in the winter, but obviously wears heavy coats when required by the Canadian winter. He prefers sneakers over dressier shoes, but has been known to spend up on fancy hightops -- his absolute favourite pair being custom cosmos hightops that his then-girlfriend Chiara bought him for his birthday.

On the job, Orion wears the appropriate paramedic uniform.

General Description:

Standing at a tall 6 foot, Orion is broad of shoulders, with a fit and toned body that he takes care of, to better do his job. He has brown hair, often cropped short to keep it out of the way, and can usually be seen sporting well maintained facial hair.

Gorgeous blue eyes are set under heavy eyebrows, and above a strong nose. He has a wide smile, with straight and white teeth and cupid bow lips.

Skills:

Orion has a talent for healing, able to exceptionally well without killing himself; he uses his power while on the job on the sly, to help ensure his patients survive with the assistance of mundane health care. While he isn't always successful with his magic, he is often enough to continue with his use.

While his speciality is definitely in healing magic, he can produce a decent shield, but he is crap at healing poisons, which he hates.

Important History:

After many years of trying, Orion's parents finally managed to produce a child, and he was born in April 1897, to a pair of rich, upper-class English Mages. While his parents employed maids and servants, Orion was taken care of primarily by his mother, who after such a long attempt to have children, was unwilling to share her little boy with servants. He attended a prestigious school when he came of age, amongst other prominent mages and a few shifters. Early in his youth, he showed signs of being a Light Mage, with a strong talent for healing. He can produce shields, but never really worked hard on the skill as he grew, focusing primarily on his abilities to heal injuries, both minor and major.

After graduating high school, Orion entered college, studying to be a doctor with a specialty in the ER setting. He cheated a lot, honing his skill with healing magic, and used it almost recklessly to help prevent his patients from dying. In the early days, he would often expend more magic than he should, and would set himself up for migraines if he was lucky, or blackout entirely if he wasn't - which was more common. He ended up pairing with another Light Mage, who would help him learn to control how much energy he expended in magical healing, as well as help him strengthen and grow his abilities.

After the role of Paramedic was born in the early 1970s, Orion soon took up instruction to become one himself, joining the crews and finding he really enjoyed the new role. It was more hectic than the ER room, in a way, but also allowed him to travel around their range. Sometimes things were horrifying, sometimes they were little more than false alarms, but every trip was a life that could be saved, and Orion thrived.

- Grew up in England
- Began training as a doctor.
- Became an early form of a Paramedic in the 1970s
- Moved around the USA every 10-15 years to re-create his identity and avoid being noticed for his lack of visible aging.
- Met Chiara Angeles in [Year], and began dating her soon after. He found her bright and enchanting and she became the highlight of his days.
- Chiara Angeles suddenly broke up with him on 22-oct-2021, leaving him heartbroken and confused.
- Depressed, he lost his sparkle and with some urging from his parents (who still live in England) he opted to move on again; a new country was called for.
- In March of 2022, Orion confirmed his move to Greenbrooke Ontario, a central location for mages and other preternatural creatures.
- Continuing to work as a Paramedic, Orion is due to start work in April 2022, giving him a month to explore the city and get to know the layout.
