While she’ll wear flashy kimonos for her videos and fight appearances, she dresses far more casually in most situations. A baseball cap, vest, striped shirt, and jeans are her go-to items for just being out and about. Being that she’s only five feet tall, that baseball cap prevents most people from making eye contact with her. Unless they’re persistent. Regardless of how she dresses, she always has highlights. She’s always rocking a ponytail, but the stripe of color going through her hair can be any color and shape. Sometimes she has a purple corkscrew pattern that makes it look like her ponytail is twisted up, or maybe she’ll have a red racing stripe that goes from her forehead to the tip of her tail.

There are no inflections in her voice, and it's rare for the corners of her lips to be doing anything. You need to pay close attention to her eyebrows and hands to get any indication of how she’s feeling. Or pay close attention to her words. She will occasionally joke or give backhanded compliments with a deadpan expression. That’s not to say Oriko is a robot. Every once in a while something will pique her interest and even her cool exterior won’t hold once that happens. Her interests tend to be kind of childish and she gets excited about things like phone cases that feature her favorite mascots or whatever new device “Insert triple A company here” is pushing. Oriko also doesn’t like nomads as a general rule, but there are some she likes way less than others. Maybe she doesn’t like the extra competition or their eccentric personalities rub her the wrong way. Only the shadow knows. She also leads a bit of a double life. “Oros the Swift” tends to be a bit more outgoing and friendly when she’s singing or interacting with the populace, though even she doesn’t look at nomads favorably.

She was hardly the only youth in Japan that felt crushed under her parents' expectations for her. Not only that, but society was starting to demand more from its youth, and earlier on in life. But with a strong internet connection and her parents' willingness to assist her lifestyle, she had little reason to leave the house, much less her room. She spent her days watching videos on the internet and reading articles. If this was an uncommon occurrence, her parents might have done something. But with a child like Oriko on nearly every street in the country, what could be done? But her attachment to her computer would eventually lead to a promising development. Something she really enjoyed listening to were mix tracks made with software like fruity studio. She started top spend less time watching videos and more time making them. Her subscriber pool was small, but she got feedback on everything she put up. As her music got better, her subscriber count grew, and she had a better outlook on the world. But making frequent uploads was only going to get Oriko so far. She noticed the biggest surge of subscriptions came in when she changed things that weren;t related to her music. Her songs use to play while a loop of a fractal image played in the background, but she had started dressing up and appearing on video, which pushed her subscriptions from five thousand to twenty thousand in a single week. She made up an alternate identity and appeared as “Oros the Swift,” who was a magical girl ninja that sang along to her EDM music. Other teens in her neighborhood would join in as other characters, and Oros would go through arcs that were explored in song. Her parents no longer had to fund her lifestyle, as she was buying her own food, renting an apartment, and paying her help with what she made from her uploads. It didn’t hurt that her songs could also be downloaded from various stores, which helped her bottom line further. It was good, and Oriko probably would have gone on to be a successful yet unremarkable EDM artist if she stuck with it. But someone had to compare her to Jaden. Oriko didn’t really care about what some weeaboo rapper did, but he was the real deal. At the end of the day, Oros the swift was just Oriko in some makeup and a kimono. But Jaden was a [i]real[/i] ninja. Her followers were loyal, but Jaden’s fans could post videos of several incidents where Jayden had been attacked by ninjas and managed to defend himself. It was stupid, petty internet drama where people were comparing apples to oranges. And Oriko took that personally. She sought out Sensei Hirokazu to begin her training. While the old bastard wasn’t known for his generosity, he was able to cut her a better deal than he had for Jaden. Only because Oriko was more polite compared to his last pupil and wasn’t an American. That didn’t mean it was cheap, as Oriko had to auction off some of her older props to cover the cost of her training. But she went through all the bullshit meditation and eventually had some ninja moves to call her own. But Oros the swift was more than a ninja, she was a magical girl. That meant that she would need magical artifacts. But after last time, Sensei Hirokazu had been pretty mute regarding magical artifacts, requiring Oriko to procure her own. Artifacts like Murakumo were few in number, and who really wanted something that could take over their own will anyway? It seemed like the real big brain strategy was just to collect a lot of smaller, weaker artifacts that nobody wanted. But there was still the question of how to actually get them. After watching some videos of “magical girl/boy accidents” online, the answer revealed itself. It seemed that most people who got their hands on weaker magical artifacts made the assumption that they were going to turn into nomads overnight, when in truth they were the same impulsive, weak people they were before. They just had some magical powers now. Naturally, that wasn’t the type of person who survived a confrontation with a kaiju, sea monster, or whatever was attacking Japan that second. She just had to be observant and show up after a few of these idiots got themselves killed. It worked like a charm. She still makes EDM tracks, but instead of songs exploring the fictional tale of Oros the Swift, they serve as mood music for viewing her very real exploits as a magical girl monster slayer. The power stone has little use to Oriko. Anything that powerful has to be exaggerated or have one hell of a curse that she wouldn’t want to tangle with. But in winning, she’ll have proved once and for all that Oros the Swift could not only kick Jaden’s ass, but the ass of every other nomad that attended the competition.

Running on walls, jumping off walls, and attacking hard and fast is all part of what Oriko can do. But their different backgrounds, music choices, and artifacts lead to two vastly different fighters. Jaden’s strength and longer limbs give him a physical advantage, While Oriko’s stronger focus and numerous artifacts makes her more reliant on her mystical abilities. For her bread and butter abilities, she relies primarily on a nameless magical katana, her scroll of hammerspace, and the ability to transplace. The scroll of hammerspace is able to store items in an infinitely vast space that she can call to her hands or a portal during a fight. Her nameless katana is her daily driver for all of her sword slashing needs. She prefers to slash from her scabbard, and also learned how to create collapsing vacuums by cutting through the air itself. The blade’s reach is much further than the blade itself. Beyond that she has a stock of smoke bombs, vinyl disks, and her DJing equipment like her mix pad. She can imbue these items with her ki which gives them effective weapons against other nomads. Among her trove of more magical and dangerous items she has a scroll that contains over a hundred different beasts, a divining sword called Endless Eclipse, and a mask with a deadly curse.

This changes her outfit, arms her with all of her artifacts, and puts her under an identification protection spell. The identification protection spell makes it impossible for people to look at Oros the Swift and think she looks anything like Oriko, despite being the same person. The only way she can be exposed is when it’s the only logical explanation. IE: She transforms in front of someone or Oros walks out of an area that only Oriko was in. [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][u][color=tomato]■ Transplace[/color][/u] [indent]With some focus, Oriko can snap her fingers and swap places with her opponent. She can also swap places with any item that came from her Scroll of Hammerspace. Swapping with items is near instant while opponents take a bit longer. It has to do with the weight of what she’s trying to transplace, and is exhausting if done too frequently. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u][color=tomato]■ Scroll of Hammerspace - Store[/color][/u] [indent]Oriko can place her hand on an object and have it placed inside her hammerspace for later use. She can only absorb items this way if she can hold them in at least two hands, the item isn’t bolted down/ tied up/ held by or attached to someone else, and can’t be attuned to someone else’s ki like most nomad gear. The exception to these limitations are Oriko’s own ki infused gear.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u][color=tomato]■ Scroll of Hammerspace - Recall[/color][/u] [indent]Oriko waves her hand and conjures a small portal that launches a ki charged vinyl disk from her hammerspace. The longer she conjures, the higher the velocity of the item. Alternatively, she can fire any other item she’s used Scroll of Hammerspace - Store on. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u][color=tomato]■ Smoke Bomb, Bitch![/color][/u] [indent]Oriko throws a smoke bomb at her feet that briefly obscures her position and can cause opponents that are too close to choke on the fumes. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u][color=tomato]■ Dive Kick[/color][/u] [indent]Oriko can perform a high speed dive into the air before throwing a kick, which can change her trajectory in a way that baffles scientists. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u][color=tomato]■ Scroll of Hammerspace - Home Run[/color][/u] [indent]Oriko gives herself a baseball cap and a bat to swing at her opponent. Works well as an anti-air or to start a juggle. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u][color=tomato]■ Boing Boing[/color][/u] [indent] It’s just wall bounce, I won’t lie. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u][color=tomato]■ Hentai Haven[/color][/u] [indent]Oriko performs a lunging grapple where she locks her thighs around her opponents head and, using her ninja training, summersaults backwards to slam her opponent’s head into the ground. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u][color=tomato]■ Wall Dash[/color][/u] [indent]Like Wallrun, but the name has a space now.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u][color=tomato]■ Drop The Bass[/color][/u] [indent]Oriko pulls out her mix pad and drops the bass so hard that her opponent (and hammerspace’d items) briefly feel an intense amount of gravity. Most nomads standing on the ground can resist the effect, but airborne ones will fall to the ground, and if they’re being juggled, they’ll slam into the ground with enough force to bounce into the air again. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u][color=tomato]■ Flash Blade[/color][/u] [indent]Oriko draws her sword with such speed that it can create a collapsing vacuum a predetermined distance away. It has a bass boosted sound effect so you know it hurts.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u][color=tomato]■ Chill Beats to Relax and Study to[/color][/u] [indent]Oriko pulls out her mix pad and plays a short loop. If she finishes, her attacks get extra lofi girl (cold) damage for a time.

If successful, they will be briefly trapped inside the scroll with several angry tigers, monkeys, goats, dragons, roosters, and other zodiac animals. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u][color=tomato]■ Flash Blade EX[/color][/u] [indent]Oriko dashes away, and the aria fills with collapsing vacuums as she draws her sword over and over again. As cool as bass boosted sound effects are you’ll want to lower your volume for this one.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u][color=tomato]■ Endless Eclipse - Divinate[/color][/u] [indent]Oriko draws her black sword and peers into its future seeing blade. If an attack comes her way, not only is she able to dodge it, but she can follow up with a decisive thrust from her sword. Endless Eclipse cannot be out of its shieth too long, less it drain all of Oriko’s magic. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u][color=tomato]■ Mask of the Wicked Concubine - Warpgasm[/color][/u] [indent]Oriko nudges her kitsune mask over her face and allows its horrific magic to take over her body. She hulks out as her body is constantly changed and stretched by the magic coursing through her body. She has all of her old moves, only now her limbs are both twice as long and capable of contorting and stretching in unnatural ways. Greatly increased strength and defense, but after ten seconds the mask starts to eat through her remaining vitality if she doesn’t remove it. Oriko also screams the entire time she’s wearing it.

She can dish it out from nearly every range, but as soon as the fight comes to her, it’s time to start sweating. Nomad or not, there’s only so much punishment a diminutive girl can take before deciding it’s time to fall unconscious. Mask of the Wicked Concubine - Warpgasm is the closest thing she has to a quick fix in such situations. But ten seconds is not a long time, and wearing the mask much longer than that threatens to sap away what little vitality she has left. If she can’t finish the fight shortly after putting on the mask, she’s going to lose. Her parents also didn’t do her any favors doting on her the way they did. While she isn’t outwardly emotional, she is quite vain and can hold a grudge for the pettiest of things. Her pride makes her easy to manipulate and prevents her from allying with people she really should be.
