FORTUNIIS' LUUK HERSSEN INQUIRES OF ORION : ❝ do you think i'm a good person? ❞ - luuk for orion ! ( A TENDER GLIMPSE BENEATH THE SURFACE... ACCEPTING ! )
He's hardly the suitable one to ask for an opinion on matter as grave such as this. Do you think I'm a good person? Luuk inquires of Orion, and Orion does not hold, for a while, a response to give. In the end, some choices he has made in the past have affected so many lives, torn apart so many hearts. He loves this world, he loves those who inhabit it, yet for those who have tried to hold on to him, he has been akin to the rays of light slipping between their fingers: warm, present, real, though only ever so terribly briefly.
His past self must have known the cost of this decision. Ever the troublesome thing: to wear a face everyone around you seems to know, to want to understand what was done, what happened, yet the answers are elusive. His past self must have understood the consequences of all this, and chose to continue onwards on this path nonetheless. What could have been so much more important than what was shared with all of his loved ones, that such drastic measure was taken?
"I don't have an answer for you, Luuk," Orion finally begins to give a response, the most honest one he can muster, "Looking back at it, I have made decisions that have hurt a lot of people. If anything, maybe, I should be the one asking you the very same question you have addressed to me." But, all of that is pointless now, isn't it? When the damage is done, when what is past is past... Orion wishes to look forward to the future, to be there for everyone as they walk together towards a radiant dawn emerging after merciless night.
Still, he places a hand on the Doctor's shoulder, seeking to look him directly in the eye. "There are times that ask of us to become versions of ourselves we might not always be proud of," the Rover continues, "Circumstances that transform us. For what is worth, I want to believe in my current judgement. I want to believe in you. Is this the answer you've been hoping for? Is this good enough for you?" // @fortuniis

okay let me put it more eloquently now that I’m more rested up but I can’t look at a Stellaron encased within a person and not want to go wild with the concept. we see just how powerful the thing contained within Danica is, and she knows that. she knows she’s a vessel for a thing of utter ruin.
so yeah I don’t want to tone this down or meme-fy her. yes, she isn’t exactly human and she doesn’t always know how to form proper connections without the knowing of what she is staining everything, haunting her. she doesn’t want to hurt people but she doesn’t know how to say it without lashing out because yes she loves her companions but do they understand the dread under which she constantly lives?
Danica who feels like a monster and a fraud… Danica who is perpetually haunted by her own nature… Danica who is terrified of being the reason why everyone she ever loves will suffer due to her being a Seed of Destruction… Danica who zones out when you speak to her and it’s not intentional. Danica who sometimes lashes out without wanting to and ends up pushing people away because it’s better like this. it’s better if they don’t get close so she won’t hurt them in the end. Danica who suffers quietly and doesn’t know how to speak of it. Danica who loves everyone but she’s terrified of hurting them…
me doing gacha protags and it’s like “did you know that Rover is this cosmic entity and Arbiter and yet he loves the world and will always cherish it even if he’s not of it” versus “did you know that my Trailblazer feels more like a monster and a fraud than a hero and she’s perpetually haunted and burdened with the knowing of what she is” and then it’s “my PTN m!Chief absolutely downright HATES the structures that Shackle him, doesn’t trust anyone around him and would throw hands with Paradeisos stat but he can’t condone innocent people dying and suffering. he doesn’t necessarily care who wins the big war, but he won’t hold back. secretly always suspects that he’s being lied to” and -
I’m feeling like sending something flirty / shippy inclined in peoples inboxes, who would like something? ❤️ ( I won’t assume we are shipping btw this is just for the fun of it )
ROVER CHARACTER STUDY, 2 : ORION
To continue my series of Rover / Orion headcanons and analysis posts, I've decided that the second post, after the general overview one, should be about the name I have chosen to given my iteration of him, namely Orion, after the constellation.
Evidently, the inspiration for this comes from the fact that we see so many celestial or generally cosmic elements woven into his character. I aimed specifically to choose a name to be a reference to this, which stems from my personal decision to focus quite much on the cosmic aspect of his character, before delving into how each and every encounter and every companion does contribute to help shaping Orion the person. It's simply that, before this, I'd love to linger a bit on the bigger picture aspects.
Why Orion, out of all possible options? Let me expand on this:
This constellation is also known as "the Hunter", and there is extensive discussion to be had here about how this specific constellation has been observed in multiple cultures, with the theme of the Archer / the Reaper / the Hunter being quite frequently seen. But, for me, it's about the fact that this specific constellation has been identified so many centuries before. That it has been around for so long, and it will likely continue to be here for way long after we are gone, which is fitting for Rover's character, from my personal point of view.
It's about the distant, yet ultimately bright and fascinating nature for me. In the end, the Rover themselves are quite the elusive character, with a clearly stated connection to the Sentinels, who are often regarded as Divine Beings. What is more, the Rover is addressed by Sentinels as "Lord Arbiter", "Lady Arbiter", respectively. I would honestly love to see the chosen term in other languages, however, let's linger on the chosen term for English for now:
arbiter = a person empowered to decide matters at issue; judge; umpire. / a person who has the sole or absolute power of judging or determining. [ source ]
The very fact that the Sentinels are known to have been given previous instructions by past Rover, the fact that Sentinels do consult Rover's opinion about how they, as mighty beings & protectors of humanity should act, it should do more than speak volumes. It is clear that Sentinels' powers are declining. From what we have seen with both Jué and Imperator, these beings are fading / wounded.
They are not at the prime of their strength and power, which is very interesting to put against Threnodians, who are defined, "In essence, Threnodians are a reflection of the collective will of humanity condensed into physical form, born from the dark side of collective consciousnesses. Each Threnodian embodies a certain fear of struggle, which has a deep connection to the area that faces them, such as Ovathrax, the Threnodian of War, in Jinzhou, a land that has been a battleground for centuries."
How are Sentinels, guardians of humanity, supposed to fight against creatures born out of humanity? This is a very fascinating discussion that I genuinely await for the game to explore. It is clearly not a random decision, to let Rover be someone cosmic, from afar, a presumably ancient being who acts as a Celestial Arbiter. All things considered, to me at least, it made sense to give my Rover a name after a very ancient constellation that has been observed from way long before I personally existed.
ROVER CHARACTER STUDY, 1 : GENERAL OVERVIEW
Knowing me, I can't do a character without also delving into studies of them, hence Orion / male Rover meta series incoming. But, before going into specifics such as the element I primarily have chosen for him (Aero) or the name I have given him, I want to stop on the motifs the game already gives, starting with his name as a protagonist, Rover:
I genuinely enjoy the motif of the Traveler that Kuro have chosen to primarily associate with him. In some other languages, French for example, they have chosen to name him Nomade, Nomad:
nomad = a member of a group of people who move from one place to another rather than living in one place all of the time [ source ]
In Spanish, the chosen term is Errante, which means, roving, moving, wandering, or can mean distant, faraway.
This is something I do majorly take into my account in my portrayal of Rover. Yes, we see him (I say him merely because I use male Rover, but do recognize the validity of fem!Rover, too!) move from place to place. He does not stay for too long, he does not have a permanent home. In a manner of speaking, we could assume the entirety of Solaris-3 is his home.
What is very interesting, however, is that the game does not tell us from where, exactly, has Rover traveled. Or where will they go next. In the "Set Sail" opening cinematic, we witness a cosmic scene:
This very screencap, taken directly from the cinematic linked before, makes me insist very much on the aspect of Orion as a Celestial Arbiter, even more so since the Sentinels we have met thus far do refer to Rover as "Lady Arbiter" or "Lord Arbiter". We do not know, exactly, on a cosmic scale how powerful Rover is, or even who or what precisely are they. This scene leaves quite a lot to the imagination, the questioning, though I believe the celestial / nearly divine or bordering to God-like angle is difficult to ignore.
Then, after this mysterious, female-presenting entity seems to awake Rover, it looks as though Rover were cast down towards Solaris-3:
This leads us to the opening scene of the game, where it looks as though Rover first passes through time and space, before landing in the water where the opening proper takes place.
So, all in all, I see the Rover as a Wanderer not only of Solaris-3 alone, yet of the Cosmos as a whole.
you know, I don’t have a rule on variants / duplicates of my own muses here because I think that everyone writing the same canons as me has excellent tastes. yes, some of them I can be particular about such as Robin or Sephiroth because these are characters in whom I have invested a lot of heart and soul. but like even so… I think that everyone should just be free to enjoy their blorbos the way they see fit. if it’s not for me, I merely won’t follow.
besides, we can have two versions of the same muse interact if we want to have mega esoteric interactions and plots. I’m never opposed to this since it’s so cool to basically have them speak to another version of themselves.

I have been so exhausted today I slept nearly the whole day away and then logged in WuWa to pop the new combat event, how are we all doing and feeling?
okay but now some Sunday-themed musings for Orion / my Rover (mild spice under the cut)
I don’t see Orion as having a strong preference towards being in charge or not being in charge. I’d say he’s pretty versatile, because he cares about his partner enjoying every moment they’ve got together, as much as he seeks to enjoy it, too.
should his partner like to take control, I don’t see him minding that. in the end, that’s an opportunity for him to relax and momentarily relinquish the burden of all he carries. if anything, I think he’d love being seen as a person to share in something so intimate as opposed to his position / title of Arbiter.
should his partner be someone who enjoys letting him take care of them, I don’t think he minds that, either. it’s an opportunity for him to carefully observe what they like, what they don’t like. a chance for him to explore their vulnerability and intimacy, to connect with them within an openness so profound. to show them how much he cherishes them and loves them.
as for one night stands… I’d say he’s pretty open to it IF he likes the other person well enough. he’s realistic with the fact that he can’t stay with them long-term, but that doesn’t mean he can’t appreciate their moment of togetherness. even in these cases, they can always text him and rely on him. just because he can’t stay long-term, it doesn’t mean he will just vanish completely but it’s safe to assume he also won’t be available 24/7.
thinking about Parma and another thing I’m taking with him for his WuWa verse is that how he knew to be so well liked that, for 10 years, he was able to work in the shadows with a whole circle of key political and public authorities figures involved with him. he knew how to be charming, how to promise things he would do but with the caveat it would still serve his ultimate endgame goals and ambitions.
you could say that, yes, a lot of the things he’s done were done under the noses of many people who knew of him or had an idea of what he was doing. but they didn’t bother to stop him because he was working in an active danger zone and it was convenient for them to THINK they were paying someone to take care of that chaos
he’d do exactly the same thing in the New Federation. trust me when I say this entity has got the manipulation skills levels 9000 not because he’s playing mind tricks on people. he’s merely very well mannered, polite, listens and even SEEMS to work on that problem that’s bothering you… except there are at least two or three experiment sites where the next world shattering thing is being created
seeing this surge of interest in Parma makes me want to throw him at your muses, obnoxious and unapologetic
if the Eye 👁️ spies you in these notes, you WILL get a Parma ask. just let me dig into my brain for some ideas. however, you are in danger
