Life and Loss

Orion, Haru and Celeste became the Celestials to oversee and defend souls across the universe. However, Orion finds his relationship with Haru to be far stronger than any other. The Infernals he doesn't get close to and even Celeste he keeps at an arm's length away. Haru becomes everything to him-- much like how an older brother would feel to a younger. His worry for Haru begins to proceed even his own duties when he learns that Haru doesn't simply visit and protect these worlds-- he's interacting, making friends, and giving no thought to what they could do to him. And Orion blames Hax's friendship with Haru for encourging it.

Orion takes his job very seriously. Yet he doesn't know fear until the day he gets a message from a lowly Star-- that they've seen Haru on the planet he usually visits. He rushes to get there to scold his friend and take him home. Except upon his arrival he sees Haru using all of his power to save a child-- to heal her. And to the side, is Hax, watching it all. He jumps to the conclusion that this has all been a scheme-- a ploy that Hax started-- and rushes forward. He scoops Haru up as he falls to the ground and spirits him off.

Except when he takes Haru to Celeste, she can't heal him. It doesn't even feel like he's there, as if the power is barely there but the soul is gone-- somehow separated from each other. Orion recalls that there must always be a balance. Three Infernals, three Celestials. Therefor, he takes Haru's power into himself to keep that balance.

Humanity

Orion doesn't trust Hax or Kerse. Once Haru is gone he begins to separate it all. No longer do Stars work with Dark Stars. If he knows of it, he admonishes and questions-- if they continue, he doesn't consider them an ally. This only escalates further when the Dark Surge begins to pop up. Their goals to dismantle the power structure and ignore their responsibilities has Orion frequently handling things himself. As well as bringing on two Stars to take Keeper positions. Of which, he begins to rely on Aster the most.

It all comes to a head when he finds a dying mortal with Hax's power signature. Fearing what Hax has in store, he essentially kidnaps Zye and erases any memories that relate back to Hax (as well as those that include Jace and Callua who he knows aren't mortal). He plans to keep Zye at his side until he can decide what to do with him. Killing him is the first plan until he's stopped by Celeste, demanding he do something else now that Charmilla can't assist them.

Except he begins to bond with Zye. He gets used to him and finds he might be able to rely on him just as he does Aster. The only thing that keeps him from telling Zye the truth is that he'd side with Hax-- much like Haru always did when they'd argue. So instead he continues to lie until the truth has to be told. Even then his little lies sprinkle through their interactions-- not wanting to get attached further now that he assumes Zye will want nothing to do with him.

Onward

With everything behind him, Orion has to come to the realization that assisting in defeating Kerse doesn't right his own wrongs. What he's done only added to the aggression. While he stays on as a Celestial, he knows he has a lot to try and work on if he wants to be able to live to make up for what he's done. That he became what he disliked. To start, he steps away from power in general and allows most of the others to work things out. He puts in his opinion but tries not to get as frustrated when something doesn't go his way.

Slowly, he works himself back into the mold that these new friends create. While he still struggles with dealing with them in his own way and not getting overwhelmed by all of their personalities. Regardless, if he does, he can usually be found either in his room alone or with Aster.

A relationship that has a chance to blossom further should he allow himself to tend to it more.
