Orion Hastings' Biography

Growing up in Chicago, Illinois, was a nightmare for Orion Hastings—a prison disguised as home. To the outside world, the city was alive with opportunity.

Still, behind closed doors, Orion’s life was dictated by his father’s iron fist, Kai Hastings, the infamous leader of the North Valley Vipers. From the moment he could comprehend the world around him, Orion was a pawn in a game he hadn’t even realized he was playing.

His mother, Mira Hastings, was a battered shadow of the woman she once was, and his younger sister, Juliet, was blissfully ignorant of the darkness that lurked within their own home. But Orion? Orion was born into the fire. He wasn’t shielded from harsh realities but was trained to endure them.

For years, he wondered why he was treated as nothing more than a burden, a tool rather than a son. He could count on one hand the times his father had looked at him with anything other than expectation or disappointment. Every scrape, every mistake, every misstep was met with punishment, not comfort. His father never loved him. The only thing Kai Hastings cherished was power—and Orion was meant to inherit it.

At the age of ten, Orion was indoctrinated into the world of the Vipers. The lessons he learned weren’t those of a normal child; they weren’t filled with math problems and science experiments. No, Orion learned how to survive. He knew how to hurt before being hurt, read a man’s fear in his eyes, and wield a knife with precision.

But nothing—nothing—could have prepared him for the horrors of November 11th, 2006. He was fourteen when he heard his mother’s screams, raw and pleading. When he heard her beg for mercy from the very man who claimed to love her. Orion knew what pain sounded like; he had heard it countless times in the cries of victims the Vipers tormented. But this?

This was different. This was his mother—the only person who had ever tried to protect him in her own broken way.

Without thinking, he burst into the room to find his father, mentor, and supposed role model, forcing himself on Mira Hastings. The look in her eyes as she saw Orion standing there was something he would never forget. Shame. Terror. A silent plea for help.

That was the first time Orion truly lost himself. His hands moved before his brain could process, grabbing the nearest weapon—a knife. His father never saw it coming. The blade sank into Kai Hastings’ back, a wound that wasn’t enough to kill, but enough to leave a mark.

Enough to tell his father that Orion wouldn’t be his puppet anymore.

From that moment on, Orion made it his mission to be his mother’s shield. He abandoned school, opting for homeschooling, not out of laziness but necessity. He wouldn’t let his father have a single unsupervised moment with Mira or Juliet. Friends? He didn’t need them.

Normalcy? That was never in the cards for him. His life revolved around keeping the monster that was his father at bay.

But eventually, something inside him snapped. He had endured too much, seen too much, suffered too much. He could tolerate being his father’s punching bag, but the moment Kai raised a hand toward Juliet, the last fragile piece of Orion’s restraint shattered.

Kai Hastings died that night. The official story was a firefight between rival gangs. The truth? Orion had buried the knife deep into his father’s chest and made sure he never drew another breath. And just like that, the infamous leader of the North Valley Vipers was gone, and his prodigal son was left to pick up the pieces.

For the next eight years, Orion shaped the Vipers into something... different. They were still feared, still ruthless, but under his leadership, they weren’t the same venomous force his father had cultivated. He ensured his mother and sister were no longer prisoners within the organization, their voices finally heard, their safety finally guaranteed.

But power was a suffocating thing, and Orion had been drowning in it for too long. At twenty-six, he made the decision to step away, leaving the day-to-day operations in the hands of someone he trusted. He had spent his entire life fighting, surviving, existing. Now? Now, he needed to figure out how to live.

And that’s when he found Juniper.

The pitbull had been used in an illegal dogfighting ring, another victim of a cruel world Orion knew all too well. Saving her was second nature—he didn’t stand by and watch suffering. He made the ringmaster an offer he couldn’t refuse, and just like that, Orion had his first real companion.

She was terrified of him at first, and he didn’t blame her. He was just as scared of himself. But over time, they learned to trust each other. Juniper became more than just a pet; she became family. And with her came more rescues—two more dogs, three cats, all pulled from situations that mirrored his own past in some way.

Now, Orion Hastings walks a different path. The man who once wielded violence like a second skin now finds solace in the quiet, in the mundane. He no longer has to look over his shoulder every second. He no longer has to be a weapon.

For the first time in his life, Orion Hastings is free. But freedom comes with its own price. And if the past has taught him anything, it’s that peace is never permanent.

character Orion Hastings is a man forged by his upbringing—intense, self-driven, and unwaveringly loyal. His childhood shaped him into a protector, particularly of women, as he assumed the role of his mother’s guardian from a young age. This sense of responsibility has carried into adulthood, making him fiercely intolerant of violence against women.

Despite his hardened nature, Orion possesses a natural charm. He speaks with a slight Southern drawl, a remnant of his upbringing, and has a magnetic personality. He enjoys making people laugh and is often the one to lighten the mood with a well-placed joke or silly antic. However, beneath this lightheartedness, there is a man who is no stranger to violence—a part of him craves it, especially when it means seeking justice.

Fluent in English, German, Greek, Italian, ASL, and Russian. His multilingualism stems from his father’s insistence that he be able to command whomever he needed to, however he needed to.

While his combat skills are lethal, his music allows him to express a softer, more emotional side.

Orion was never allowed pets as a child because his father believed that they would make him weak. However, he has adopted and rescued numerous animals in adulthood, unable to resist giving them a home.

He now owns: 
Dogs: Irene (great pyrenees, puppy), Juniper (pit bull, adult), and Silas (golden retriever, adult). 
Cats: Nyx (Tabby, kitten), Hermione (Bengal, adult), Tink (Persian, kitten).
