Orken 7861

Orken 7861 is a biologically human, mentally Yeerk agent from the Animorphs continuum. He is currently stationed in the Department of Mary Sues.

Backstory
Orken 7861 was recruited from a piece of Animorphs badfic on the verge of deletion. He is a postwar Yeerk to human nothlit. In simpler terms, he is as a Yeerk permanently trapped in human morph. He was placed in the Department of Mary Sues, and has been there ever since. He has gone through two partners in that time, the second going insane after a particularly bad mission. Orken was spared due to the wonders of Bleeprin. He was then assigned Thomas Greenwall as his partner. On their first mission together, something referred to as the Plutonium Incident occurred, and their response center bathroom was rendered unusable. At some point in his recent past, he had a tryst with Luxury.

Appearance
Orken is around six feet tall, and in impeccable shape. He keeps his hair cut low, and his beard is nonexistent. He wears a black button-up shirt, black slacks, and black sneakers. The cactus flash patch adorns his shoulder.

Personallity
Orken considers himself a very professional individual. In the environment of Headquarters, this is rather difficult. Most would describe him as up-tight. He is good at hiding his reactions to things, due to the practice he had when he was in control of a human host. Still, even he is incapable of stifling reactions to particularly bad pieces of badfic.

He is also insecure about his looks. This may have led to his tryst with Luxury. His insecurity likely stems from the relatively short time he has spent as a biological human. It may also have something to do with the fact that he is a bit of a coward.

His favorite book is 1984. He has knowledge of many other continua, and cares about them all deeply, although he does his best to appear dispassionate and professional.

Minis
Despite his partner's insistence otherwise, Orken is not the owner of Winston the Ministry of love (Witmol). Rather, Thomas owns him. While Orken enjoys the company of O'Neil the mini-Unas and Witmol the mini-telescreen, he has no desire to own a mini himself.
