The firstborn son of House Von Urkseld. Orren is a giant among his peers. Bound by tradition, expectation, and love for his family, Orren strives to uphold the honor of his family name. He is Von Urkseld. He is the bear. And

Lord Orren Von Urkseld may be the heir to Baelgorod, but at ten years old, he is still finding his place in the world. With his father’s Ursine strength and his mother’s sharp wit, Orren is caught between who he is and who he wants to be, a great knight, a noble leader, and a warrior worthy of House Von Urkseld’s legacy.

Born with his father’s feral stature, a muscled build, clawed hands, and striking amber eyes, Orren already looks fierce and strong for his age. But his attempts to carry himself with the same quiet, immovable presence as his father are not always successful. His siblings, who know him too well, can easily poke through his stoic act, unraveling the serious mask he tries so hard to maintain. His mother is deeply amused by this and reminds him often that true strength does not mean closing oneself off, but knowing when to stand firm and when to listen.

Now, for the first time, Orren is leaving home and entering Oathwatch Academy for its inaugural session, the kingdom-mandated boarding school where all noble children of Eldoria are to be sent to be educated in warfare, diplomacy, and leadership. The pressure is immense, everyone knows who he is, and expectations follow him like a shadow. He wants to prove himself, to become the knight his father is and the leader his family needs, but he is not there yet.

For all his discipline and determination, he is still a boy, one who clings protectively to his siblings, struggles with frustration when he falls short, and who wants more than anything to make his parents proud.

Personality & Mannerisms

• Determined but Young:
  


• Orren wants to be like his father, so he mimics his stoic posture, his quiet presence, and his air of command.
  


• But no matter how serious he tries to be, his youth betrays him, his energy is boundless, his frustration with failure is visible, and his siblings can make him laugh when no one else can.
  


• He wrestles between trying to be strong and knowing he still has much to learn.
  


• Protective of His Siblings:
  


• As the eldest, Orren feels responsible for his younger siblings, even though he is still a child himself.
  


• At Oathwatch Academy, where noble-born children must navigate their own alliances and rivalries, he is always on guard for them, ready to defend them if needed.
  


• But they, in turn, remind him not to take himself too seriously, teasing him when he puffs up too much and pulling him into playful mischief that he pretends to resist—but secretly enjoys.
  


• A Blend of His Parents’ Strengths:
  


• His father is his hero, and Orren dreams of one day leading the Ursine Guard and defending Baelgorod as Count Bryndorr does. He trains relentlessly to match his father’s martial skill, even when he stumbles.
  


• His mother knows that while his father will teach him how to fight, she must teach him how to maneuver the courts. She counsels patience, diplomacy, and the art of words, gently tempering his desire to rely solely on strength.
  


• Seraphine sees the potential in him, and while she enjoys watching him struggle to hold his serious demeanor, she also ensures he learns when to listen, when to speak, and when to act.

Skills & Training

• Squire in Training:
  


• Orren is still learning the fundamentals of knighthood, from swordplay to battlefield formations.
  


• He is stronger than most boys his age, thanks to his Wildfolk blood, but lacks refinement, often relying on brute strength where technique is needed.
  


• He is stubborn in his training, refusing to accept failure, which sometimes leads to frustration when he doesn’t improve as quickly as he’d like.
  


• An Instinct for Leadership:
  


• Though he doesn’t realize it yet, Orren naturally commands attention, and his classmates at Oathwatch already look to him as a leader.
  


• When he speaks, others listen, and when he fights, others rally behind him.
  


• He is still learning the balance between leading and listening, between command and camaraderie.
  


• A Protective Streak & Fierce Loyalty:
  


• Orren does not tolerate injustice, and his protective instincts make him quick to stand up for those he cares about.
  


• He will throw himself between his siblings and a bully, or take a punishment in silence rather than betray a friend.
  


• His parents recognize this as both his greatest strength and his greatest vulnerability, for one day, his enemies may seek to use his loyalty against him.

Relationships & Influence

• Count Bryndorr Von Urkseld (Father & Role Model)
  


• Orren idolizes his father, wanting nothing more than to match his strength, his skill, and his honor.
  


• Bryndorr pushes him hard, knowing his son must be strong, but also reminds him that a great warrior is not just defined by his sword, but by his wisdom.
  


• They share moments of quiet understanding, where no words are needed—only a shared nod, a firm hand on the shoulder, or a sparring match in which Orren tries, and fails, to land a single blow.
  


• Countess Seraphine Von Urkseld (Mother & Teacher of Cunning)
  


• Seraphine delights in watching her son’s serious nature crumble at the hands of his siblings.
  


• She guides him with patience and humor, ensuring he learns not just how to fight, but how to think, how to read people, and how to lead with more than brute force.
  


• While Bryndorr teaches him to stand strong, Seraphine teaches him when to bend, when to strike, and when to let others believe they have won.
  


• His Siblings (His Heart & Weakness)
  


• Orren protects them fiercely, even when they don’t need it.
  


• They, in turn, tease him mercilessly, chipping away at the stoic knight act he tries so hard to maintain.
  


• They are his greatest joy and his greatest vulnerability, for if anything were to happen to them, Orren would never forgive himself.
