Biography
Oricka falls under the very endangered violetblood caste of Repiton. It's stated that her lusus is dead and that she lives in a cave resembling it.[1]
After an incident implied to have involved an unnamed "mob", Oricka, with the help of Secily, went into hiding in a bluff near the shores. The scars adorning her body and face appear to have originated in said incident.[2] Since then, she was forbidden from building weapons. [3] However, by the time Secily arrives at her hive, Oricka seems to not pay it much mind. [4]
Her hive is as messy as the landfill near which she resides, although she doesn't at all seem to mind the clutter. [5]
Upon receiving some alarming message by a mysterious Discorpse user by the nickname obnoxiousAntidote, Oricka sets up her defense lasers, unknowingly putting Secily in harm's way.[6]
Personality and Traits
Oricka is shown to be very excitable, optimistic, and talkative. She is fond of using both puns and nicknames for people she cares for.
Secily describes her as a "Mechanical Genius"[7]. Oricka has built a large array of gadgets, including Secily's visor. She has also modified her helmet to display various emoji as she speaks, which is reflected in her quirk.
She refuses the aid from the Repiton Corporation and despises it.[8] She also refuses to use the Corporate-run Skorpe chat client, opting to use Discorpse instead.[9] She tends to have a very "raunchy" outlook on Repitonian systems.
Oricka is very ashamed of her past ambitions and is always experimenting with new machines to help others. She constantly exhibits the "turning a bad situation into a good one" mindset, always having the need to feel useful instead of helpless.
Relationships
Necron Exmort
