For centuries the kingdom of Easthaven has been led by the Oracles, a series of women chosen by the Triple Goddesses to receive visions of the future. Five years ago, the last Oracle passed away and twin oracles were revealed to take her place. Their divine nature recognized, the children were taken to the Palace to be raised in the ways of the Twin Goddesses whom they are believed to embody. Soon they will come of age and take their place as the leaders of Eashaven. The whole country is abuzz--some with excitement and others with mutiny. It's time to see where everyone stands, as war still rages on the Western border...

Harada Orochi Position: High General Rank: Noble (however he’s still considered a commoner) Birth month and day: March 3 Zodiac Animal: Tiger Age: 37 Height: 6’5 Weight: 230 Physical Description: Orochi is a very large man, standing at 6’5, he gives off an air that demands attention and respect, with his sheer size alone. He has wide, broad shoulders and well toned and muscular body from years of military training as well as a few scars, and even a burn mark on his right shoulder. He has a thin face, with dark, cruel almond eyes. He keeps his straight black hair cut very short, and has a small beard and mustache, he keeps nicely groomed.
Despite his size, he can move as quick as a viper, and has the strength of an oxe. If you ever get to touch him, you’ll find he’s surprisingly warm, for such a usually cold man. A look of seriousness is always on his face for times that call for it, otherwise he’s usually seen with a malicious smile, or mischievous glint in his eyes. Always wanting to play “games” with people. He has a very intimidating aura around him, and a feeling that you don’t want to anger him.
Personality Description: Where to begin? Firstly, I must warn you. Harada Orochi is not a nice man. He might have been considered pleasant once upon a time, but after a betrayal he could not forgive, he was permanently changed into the man he is today. And there is no fixing it.
A bit of a sadist, Orochi likes humiliating people, punishing them to as much of the extreme as he is allowed. He is cruel, stubborn, has a temper, and is not a man you want to be on the bad side of. Determined goes hand in hand with this cruelty. Making a for a bad mix. If he wants something, he’s going to get it. Whether you like it or not. Throw stubborn into the mix, and you just might want to run for cover. He’s arrogant, cocky, and more then that, he loves the control he has, and isn’t afraid to flaunt it. He’s the High General, and as far as he see’s it, only the Oracles can touch him.
He keeps to his social graces when he needs too, giving off the air of a quiet man. On the battlefield he turns into an unmerciful beast. If you’re not someone of importance and you cross paths with him on the battlefield, you’ll likely be becoming a corpse if he has any say in it. He almost becomes a madman, so hung up on bloodlust, it takes more than one person to stop him from doing what he’s doing.
The only sliver of possible humanity is what he shows his daughter, and even then it’s not what you would consider a loving father to be. On the contrary, he resents her, and takes out his anger for her mother on her on occasion. Despite this, he see’s her as the son he never had, and expects nothing but the best from her. He’s been known to reward her for her hard work, and even crack a kind smile at her, but it’s very rare. Heaven help anyone who lay’s a hand on her.
Due to some unfortunate circumstances, Orochi has come to resent, and even hate women. But being in a society where they are respected and considered equals, prevents him from doing what he really wants to them. So, instead he treats them merely as objects, and tools to fulfill his desires. He has multiple concubines, whom he treats just well enough that they want to stay with him, but they feel obligated to allow him to do whatever he wants. Essentially they’re his property and if anything happens to them without his consent, heads will roll.
Religious Preferences: He is one of the few who believe that there is a male god, however he only shows mild respect to the mother goddesss for the gifts she gave him.
BIO Orochi was born to a concubine, who at the time, thought she couldn’t have children. She didn’t want to be a mother but decided to keep him anyway, but it led to many mommy issues. Giving birth to his first initial dislike of women.
She was emotionally abusive to Orochi, and didn’t give him the care he really needed. In the end, he ended up going to a temple after it was revealed he could use magic. Specifically, fire magic. He’d nearly burned the house down, and rather than dealing with him like she should, she dropped Orochi off at Shou temple to never see him again.
He was taught there by a wise old master who saw great potential in him. Raising him from the time he was seven up until he was sixteen. He received great praise, that eventually went to his head. Making him confident in his abilities. He soon left the temple to join the Inquisition, and it was here where he first got his taste for blood. And torture, and everything cruel. And thus his sadistic nature was born. He started immediately as an interrogator. Having the stomach to do what was needed, but it appeared Orochi enjoyed it too much. After two years, he was let go and entered the army instead.
Orochi finally found his calling. It wasn’t long before he was climbing the ranks. The promise his old master said he had, coming true in the ways of warfare. At age 23 He finally got married, but really only for marriage sakes. By this time he had become one of the seven Generals and thought life was coming together like it should. When his wife became pregnant, he found himself wanting a boy to continue his legacy and to become his heir, however, he was given a daughter instead. Akane was a sweet baby, that he couldn’t help but soften up too, and he promised himself, and his wife, they could always try again for a second child in hopes it was a son.
Orochi and his wife Fumiko tried for many years to have a second child, but they weren’t lucky. At this point, he’d risen ranks in the seven generals, and finally! After years of trying, his wife ended up pregnant. Convinced he was going to receive the son he always wanted, Orochi became a great husband and father during this time. Putting his wife and daughter’s needs before his own, he almost seemed like he was going to make a good turn around and be a semi-decent man. Wrong.
On the night Fumiko went into labor, another man came to the Harada household claiming he was the father of Fumiko’s baby. Not believing such a thing, Orochi to went Fumiko while she was having the baby and demanded to know who the man was, and why he woube be making such claims. Unable to keep the truth from him, she admitted having an affair with the man, and the baby she was bringing into the world wasn't Orochi’s. What makes it all the worse, is once the baby was born, it was revealed to be a stillborn boy. Orochi saw this as a bad omen, that the goddess was angry at his wife's infidelity to him, and he takes this as a sign that the goddess is giving him permission to punish her. Consumed by his emotions and the betrayal he feels towards his wife, he is unable to control himself from lashing out at her, in the most subtle way he can. He ends up killing her, essentially cooking her body from the inside. Covering it up to make it look like she died in childbirth as well as their son. The rest of the world believes this, and no one but Orochi knows the truth.
He sent the man who claimed to have an affair with his wife away after telling him she died in birth, and that the baby didn’t make it as well. He had him removed from his property and arrested for making accusations against his now deceased wife, and that's the end of whatever might have been nice about Orochi.
In the years following he became to resent Akane for what her mother did to him and because she was not a boy. He decided however if she was going to be his only child and essentially heir, she was going to take what he gave her and damn well appreciate it. He's very strict with her and sometimes even shows her kindness because he did love her at one point, but he hides it.
Because of his betrayal, he was able to focus his goals on becoming the high General, and he eventually claimed the title. Since then he’s ruled over the military with an iron fist and merciless ideal. Having no issues flaunting his power, and making it clear to all, he is a powerful man. He’s slain all those that challenge him, and as far as he’s concerned, he’s here to stay.
