Relationships


Relatives: Noname (mate), Asli, Anti (children by own creation), Kalet (daughter with Gunagi), Seijalka, Arevalous (children with Noname)

Notable Relationships

Asli: Oreki still has a smidgen of love for her son in spite of what they've done to each other. Her resentment toward him prevents her from showing it, however. They have interacted a few brief times since she initially left Velukaelo and she has never failed to be over-critical and demeaning toward him. Asli is afraid of his mother.

Anti: Anti did not get to be raised by Oreki like Asli. Anti's mother is the only person who he truly fears. He knows she is perfectly capable of killing him and the only reason she doesn't is because she enjoys his conflict with Asli. On rare occasions where she's bothered to return to Velukaelo, she enjoys unexpectedly dropping in on Anti, as well as his brother, in order to remind them just how weak they are compared to her.

Kohtoyasa: Oreki has a deep respect and affection for Kohtoyasa, who she views as being far more competent than Asli. Oreki sees Kohto as the best possible leader for Velukaelo's pantheon. It was Oreki who made Kohto a full-fledged goddess by giving her some of her own power.

Noname: Noname is a god from the otherworld, the head of their pantheon at the time he and Oreki met. Oreki was curious about the otherworld when she found out the gods of Velukaelo had opened a bridge to it. Noname was the first being she was able to relate to on equal footing and the two formed a fast bond. Noname's demeanor balances Oreki's type A personality. They have retreated to Oreki's sanctuary planet to live in peace.

Gunagi: Oreki had a brief relationship with the king of the hibridi when he was still young, which resulted in a daughter: Kalet. She was the one who put the curse of the draugen-wight on him at his behest, though she wasn't convinced he could control it at the time. She left shortly after cursing him, only seeing the result of it all when she returned many years later. Gunagi managed to master the curse, gaining more and more power, as well as apparent immortality, by eating his enemies. Entertained by what Gunagi has become, Oreki considers him one of her favorite "creations".

 

Personality


Alignment: Chaotic neutral (No current honor/notoriety status)
Personality: Oreki is known for being an extremely severe and confrontational individual in spite of her short stature. She is controlling, manipulative, and fiercely independent. She's also quite the troll and on the rare occasions she's on Velukaelo, it is guaranteed she'll do something to mess with her sons. As is evident with Asli, the punishments she dishes out for being wronged are grievously harsh for the crimes. The only time Oreki is tolerable and even pleasant to be around is if her respect has been earned. Otherwise, she treats others as if they are below her.

 

History


     Not much is known about where Oreki came from, only that she is very old and has been "planet hopping" for millenia. She has only recently settled down with her mate Noname (possibly the only long-term relationship she's ever been in) and has given most of her power to Kohtoyasa, a sign that she plans on retiring in a sense.
