Ortho has since lost his original body to his death on the Island of Woe and, because of that, his ability to transform and access his werewolf abilities were also lost. At least, that was the original thought, until after Ortho's body and soul were returned to the physical plane along with his status as a werewolf. However, he still uses his old, robotic parts as support since his muscles have atrophied and his immune system isn't what it used to be. Even though his wolf form is far sturdier than his human body, he still needs regular breaks and lots of rest.
Despite this, Ortho finds the most freedom and feels the most alive when he's running around on four legs. To him, it feels far more natural compared to the metal and wires that make up his dorm in Ignihyde. Although it's probably not the healthiest coping mechanism, he tries his best to live as his wolfish alter-ego as often as he can. He regularly does physical therapy to build up and restore his muscles to how they used to be as he hates being the weakest of the group, even though the Ramshackle Pack has expressed they don't mind taking things slower in order to accomodate their friend. Despite, probably, being older than he looks, the First Years have designated Ortho as the "puppy" of their pack.
Hey, it’s Mad Yuu and his new design, with Grim as a special guest.
I wanted to draw Yuu with rubber-hose limbs, but they weren’t working out, so I dropped it. Anyway, with the design, I wanted to do my best to make him appear youthful (a part I did a bit too well), energetic, “innocent,” and slightly mad. His colors are all monochrome in order to contrast against all the vibrant characters of NRC. It's also to add a bit of irony, as Yuu has one of the more “colorful” personalities.
I actually took Kalim’s hand when I first played but then ended up lowkey falling for Jamil😞
Ruggie is so… relatable in a way? Same with Deuce but in a different font, idrk why they're my favs but they 100% are and always will be.
