Orin: Difference between revisions

When Nasar was revived by her Ghost, one of the first things she did was request that her Ghost give her a name. Accepting Orin to be her new name, she named her Ghost [[Gol]]. Gol mentioned a nearby settlement that they could reach by foot in several days, and the threat of aliens they would have to face. Trusting her Ghost, Orin fashioned a mace out of tree branches and the two moved out. Once they reached the settlement, they found it had been destroyed and the residents slaughtered by nuclear weaponry. Upset by the senseless slaughter, Orin asked who was responsible. Gol explained that a Warlord was likely responsible, and with none to oppose them, the massacre was the end result. While Gol calculated the likely time-frame of the raid, Orin contracted radiation poisoning, and Gol herded her away from the danger zone.

Moved by what happened, Orin began a one Titan campaign against the Warlord. Though she had no quarrel with the [[Fallen]], she hunted them to salvage their gear and weapons. Eventually getting her hands on a [[Scorch Cannon]], she became a threat to Risen that have been around longer than her, eventually becoming a target of mercenaries. During a battle with a gang of such mercenaries, she was rescued by the [[Pilgrim Guard]]. At first assuming the Guard to be more enemies, she eventually learned of their purpose and befriended them. The Guard offered her a place with them, and she accepted, being gifted a new war hammer. One day, Orin encountered another Awoken, and learned that her [[Awoken|people]] lived in the [[The Reef|asteroid belt]], but no one could tell her why they were not on Earth. As the decades passed, Orin worked with the Guard, fighting Warlords, defending against Fallen, and protecting civilians. Eventually, the same restlessness that overtook her in her days as a reborn Awoken came again. Despite loving her role and her community, she confided in Gol that she was itching for something else, despite not knowing what or why.

During her search for answers, Orin met [[Namqi Sen]], an [[The Reef|Reef native]] pilot stranded on Earth after his ship was downed by a Fallen [[Skiff]]. Orin questioned him about the Reef and the Awoken there as he struggled to repair his ship. Eventually, Orin went with Namqi for drinks and continued her questioning, where she began to find Namqi's looks and listening ability attractive. After eight weeks, Namqi finally repaired his ship. Still unsatisfied with the knowledge she had gained, Orin convinced her new friend to smuggle her and Gol into the Reef. He obliged, but they were caught and imprisoned partway into the asteroid belt.

Orin was visited in her cell by Sjur, who was slightly disheartened to see her old friend as a Guardian. After a brief detainment, [[Mara Sov|Queen Mara]] had Orin brought before her without Gol or Namqi. Despite remembering nothing of her past, Orin immediately recognized her. Mara explained to her why she was banished from the Reef. Orin was brought before her former Queen several times over the course of her imprisonment, where Mara spoke to her about things more terrifying than anything she learned since she was first revived. Eventually, Mara decided that since Orin no longer had memories of being Nasar, she could not be held accountable for violating an oath made in her past life. Instead, she was punished for sneaking into the Reef and was allowed to go free in exchange for a favor that Mara would call upon later. After being released, Orin returned to Earth to contemplate everything she learned.

Over time, Orin watched the Pilgrim Guard become famous, and lived to see the Risen take up the title the people bestowed on them: [[Guardians]]. Despite being happy for her friends and their success, Orin opted to leave the Pilgrim Guard permanently. Orin was kept busy by Namqi, who called her everyday while serving out his sentence in the Reef. Once his time was served, Orin convinced Namqi to come to Earth and take her across the system in search of answers to humanity's past. The two of them traversed the inner solar system, working odd jobs to keep Namqi's ship running. The two eventually began a romantic relationship, spending centuries exploring together.

On the day that Sjur died, Mara called in Orin's favor to her: to investigate Sjur's death and find the killer. Orin suspected Mara want the killer dead, but explained that she was not convinced that Sjur's death was murder. Orin obliged, her searching leading her to a [[Xûr, Agent of the Nine|being]] with tentacles for a face. The creature told her to forgive someone, but not who needed forgiving. The man reached into his robes, and Orin struck him with her hammer, only to find that he was reaching for a silver jar. Puncturing the lid, Orin found the jar to be full of dust. The man made a cryptic statement about the dust and vanished.

At some point, Namqi perished in an [[Aphelion]] attack. After learning of his death, the Drifter, claiming to have been a friend of Namqi, found Orin to offer his condolences.
