### Backstory
---
Ori is from what was once the world of Iktia, and place of all manner of developing magic and technology, but was doomed by an invading interdimensional demon god. As a last act of defiance against an unavoidable fate, Iktia’s greatest came together and created the ‘Origin Project’, or simply ‘Ori’, an artificial demon designed into the shape of a human. Ori was created with three directives in mind:
- To survey all of Iktia and record it down to the last speck of dust.
- To persist past Iktia’s destruction and survive in an environment fit only for demons.
- To continue developing herself until she gained the capacity to use her abilities and summon Iktia anew (minus the world ending bits), hence “saving the world”.
Under the mentorship of her master, Arika Ashling, and many of Iktia’s heroes and nations, Ori traversed the entire world and recorded as much of it as possible before its eventual demise. Afterwards, she continued to survive on Iktia’s remains, fighting off scavenging demons and gathering power so that she might one day complete the final part of her mission.
Some time after Iktia fell to ruin, Ori used her records of Arika Ashling to summon a ‘version’ of her late mentor. This summon had the physical form of Arika’s younger self mixed with the memories of Arika at the end of her lifetime. The result was a different personality whom Ori began to regard more like an older sister or best friend.
### Personality
---
Up front, Ori comes off as an aloof, chipper, and somewhat clumsy individual. But anyone who spends enough time with her will begin to notice the oddities behind the cheerfulness. She doesn’t seem to outwardly exhibit other emotions such as shock, sadness, or anger. She practically never blinks and behaves like she has eyes on the back of her head. It is as if she is wearing a mask that is shaped to smile.
The cheerful mask isn’t there to be deceptive or to hide malicious intent. Rather she developed it as a means for facilitating social encounters. Past it, a person might notice they are being given an inordinate amount of attention when conversing with her.
Despite the odd front, Ori is capable of emotions. It is simply that expressing them is difficult for Ori, if she even tries to express them at all. The one feeling that shows through most earnestly is curiosity, as Ori’s mood will brighten more noticeably when her interest is piqued.
