Final orikero Introduction Post yayayay
I kept my promise and locked in to finish my character refs, so here are not one, but TWO orikeros to make the final introduction post. Feels fitting to introduce them together since they're best friends :3
Xuroro
Xuroro is the troupe's flute player, and is an ex-assassin
He is a very talented songwriter and composer who writes many of the songs the troupe plays
He also particularly enjoys poetry, philosophy, and astronomy
Has bad anxiety and paranoia and is often caught up in his own thoughts
Grew up in poverty, he often had to wander around finding any job he could get to support his chronically ill little sister and his mother who could only find small low paying jobs due to a work-related injury
Once he was old enough, he began to train as an assassin since the field paid well, though he was neither physically nor mentally fit to take on the position and was never more than a mediocre assassin who survived thus far purely by luck.
Xuroro, now very traumatized from his time as an assassin, was assigned to the Aokeke platoon. At first, he was very untrusting and paranoid of the other members but eventually warmed up to them after the troupe deserted the army and became best friends with Chikuku.
He was then also able to pursue his dream of being a musician which he had previously had to abandon.
Chikuku
The troupe's accordion player
An old tech and physical media enthusiast
They are an inventor and craftsman who is very resourceful that mostly works with older technology and things he has on hand. He is incredibly skilled with the technology he uses and is good at coming up with creative solutions.
Aside from his fascination with technology, he is the one who sews and maintains the troupe's costumes, as well as instrument repairs.
Keeps to themself and can come off as blunt or cryptic at times, and others have a hard time understanding him. He can also be very stubborn and is not one to give up easily.
Can, however, can put on a very charismatic act at times to get his way and he and Cosmomo occasionally get up to mischief (scamming people, probably)
He likes to wander off, likely going exploring or looking to scavenge for parts to use in his inventions
They especially like abandoned buildings and nature
As a child, he had a ton of unsupervised free time since their parents were army scientists and were often busy, so he spent his time wandering around and finding things to do and picking up random skills and knowledge
He joined the army as an engineer to improve his proficiency with technology but didn't find as much joy in the newer and more advanced technology. They are much more fascinated with old and more obsolete technology and believe its limitations to fuel his creativity more.
frogge👍
I do have a story for all my little critters; all the posts so far have just been their backstory and general information :3 Maybe I will get to writing eventually or make comics or something idk
