Abilities & Powers
abilities: Due to his upbringing many of Orion's abilities are unexplored and underdeveloped until later in life. He may have control of powers in later canon points that aren't fully developed at earlier ages. This post describes his full range of powers, specifications for games are generally included in the application.
Orion has the ability to speak with and understand powers that may not be able to communicate directly with their followers. As a priest of a goddess in his own reality being able to "translate" for other gods is a genetic trait in his family. This ability would likely never come up in a setting where any gods present communicate on the network just like everyone else. He has worked as the mouthpiece of gods unable to speak directly to their followers or captives in the past in various settings.
Due to the lore of Orion - and myth attributing him to Poseidon - he's able to walk on (and breathe under) water, an ability that he's unaware of and would probably require some skill training to perfect. He's also a natural swimmer with accelerated speed and endurance in comparison to average humans, this skill was honed as part of the swim team in high school.
Orion has an almost empathetic ability to calm animals, although he can't communicate with them directly, there is a level of understanding and mutual respect that is supernatural, primarily shown with dogs, horses, deer and aquatic life. This was extremely useful in his line of work at an animal shelter, as he had a gift in luring out strays and relaxing animals in stressful situations. Animal characters may feel calmed in his presence or as if they've known him for a long time and can trust him.* Although undiscovered, this also ties into his ability to summon animals in times of need say if there was a battle. Fresh from canon Orion would be unable to do this intentionally and would require time to develop this power in game.
He's taken up training in sword fighting and archery after meeting Athena, which he has a natural skill for and actually enjoys during his downtime. He's not much of a fighters, as his personality isn't one of a warrior, but he enjoys sparring and using his bow and arrow leisurely.
*Please note: this is not an ability Orion is aware of, but an innate aspect of who he is. He doesn't actively target and calm animals/characters, they just feel a sense of calm and ease around him.
The closer a character is to being an animal, the more likely they'll feel this (For example a wolf that can become human will be more prone to response than a human that can become a wolf). In game the ability to do this is done on a case by case basis with player permission, at their discretion. Essentially players can determine for whatever reason it does or doesn't work on characters from their particular universe or the character's personality overrides any calming or desire to trust him. Characters may also feel mixed emotions about this should the player see fit, such characters may be uncomfortable around Orion because they don't understand what's going on or resent him for how he makes them feel etc. I'm good with any variety of things, if you have questions or want to hash it out, hit me up - please just let me know how you'd like it to manifest with your character!
