Orien was one of the many sons of King Triton, the son of the two gods of the sea. Orien had a large family, he was one out of eleven, having four sisters and six brothers. It's a long and complicated story that Orien really didn't feel like getting into. He was one of the few children who lived with Triton in the vast underwater city of Atlantis. Now, unlike most stories Atlantis is seen as more of the capital of the underwater world, as there are many other 'towns' and 'cities' of various sizes that could be found all across the ocean. As Triton is a son of the god and goddess of the sea you would assume he had some huge and important role in the sea, and he does. King Triton does not live in Atlantis with his children, he lives elsewhere to care for the underwater world.<br/><br/>Orien and his siblings are all blessed with special gifts as they're the third generation demi-gods of the sea. Orien has a very special connection to aquatic life and can communicate to them, which comes in handy when specific animal attacks happen in Atlantis. He loves his gift, and after eleven kids it seems no gift is passed on twice, as each having their own very unique skill that other merfolk don't have.<br/><br/>Orien had a love for the surface of the water, he never wished for legs to join the people up there as he believed the horror stories on how they polluted the sea. He would spend a lot of his time around the surface saving animals from the waste of humans. He was known for doing that with other brave and careful merfolk, as if they were caught they could not be saved. If a mermaid was found it was not life or death for the entire species as they were well hidden and protected from any human finding them. When they were caught it would be everyone for themselves, nobody would be able to help them escape. So, Orien did this at his own risk.<br/><br/>Now Orien was at the surface watching a few baby sea turtles make their way to the waves, protecting them from hungry birds peering by. Around this time every year sea turtles would pick the very secluded spot of sand to lay their eggs in hope that their offspring would make it safely to the water. He had never seen a ship, boat, or footprint anywhere near this part of the 'beach', if you could call this tiny section of sand a beach.<br/><br/>Orien didn't look like most Merfolk under the sea. Most had the bottom of a real aquatic creature, it could be a fish, a jellyfish, dolphin, anything! Orien had the bottom of a fish, though it was more of a fake fish, as most of Triton's children had unique looking bottoms. Orien had two main colors which are midnight blue and some slightly pinkish tan accent. His fin was midnight blue with one set of fins at the end matching that color, and a second set of smaller fins being that tannish color. His hips had what could be best described as decorative frills with the tan color.<br/><br/>His skin was a soft chocolate brown, though at his forearm they slowly oozed to that midnight blue of the fins in a seamless gradient.  His hair was a slightly darker shade of blue than his tail, and was always a wild mess above or below the sea. He was a stunning creature, to say the least.
