Description Show All

Orbus has a bright and cheerful look in his seawater eyes, and the fox's black ears turn curiously at the sounds around him. His muzzle is pointed and quick to curve into a smile, and his black nose twitches at interesting scents. Around the red fur of his neck is a narrow chain clasped in back, with a metallic black gleam.
Some of the white fur on his front shows above his shirt. The shirt is a dark forest green, with a picture from Ghost in the Shell on the front. He wears a well-worn pair of black jeans, a bit frayed at the hems around his ankles but otherwise in fairly good shape.

Background

Orbus' actual history involves the player's journey into the fandom, trying on identities till one stuck. That stage of history is best forgotten; he's no longer a teenager and no longer trying to hard to figure out Who He Really Is.

In narrative continuities, the character of Orbus is a programmer (like the player), self-employed (unlike the player) and independently wealthy as a plot device to justify his life of abundant leisure (so unlike the player as to be laughable). Hey, it works to keep narratives going; don't knock it.

More info

Orbus is, just to be clear about this, a very thin veneer of vulpine over the otherwise unchanged personality of his player. He's one of those "personal furs" you hear about. He plays fast and loose with the fourth wall, and generally exists to project his human alter-ego into worlds where a fox would be a better fit.
