Orion - The Hunter
✦ THE STAR COURT ✦
HOUSE OF THE HUNT
Where the chase has never ended
The Star Court is a celestial realm suspended far above the mortal world, existing between the fixed stars and the turning of seasons. It is not heaven, nor afterlife, nor a world of the dead. It is a court—an institution with rules, hierarchy, and ancient obligations. Politics between the houses are subtle but deeply entrenched. Ancient grudges, old loyalties, and unspoken rivalries shape every interaction.
The Court is made up of four distinct houses: the House of the Twelve, the House of the Hunt, the House of Monsters, and the House of Heroes.
Every August, on the nights the meteor shower falls, the Court's doors open to the mortal world below. This event is known as the Summons. During the Summons, the light of the falling stars touches certain humans and draws them upward into the Star Court. Those called by the meteor shower are not chosen at random. The Court's doors open by a will no one fully understands, and sometimes that will reaches for particular souls.
Those who enter the Star Court are sorted according to the zodiac sign they were born under and are sent to the tribe of that sign in the House of the Twelve. New arrivals bring with them fragmented memories of myth, folklore, and stars. Often their accounts contradict the established truth of the Court.
The Star Court does not release those it has claimed.
Mayhaps you are one of them?

In the House of the Hunt, the forests have never known silence. The first Hunter died long ago. Murdered, allegedly, by the Scorpion.
The Hunt continued.
Now another carries the bow.
THE HUNTER
Orion
Appears 30 | 6'4" | Pansexual | Dom
The second to bear the title.
Keeper of the Hunt. Wielder of the silver bow.
Master of two Hounds: Sirius and Procyon.
⋆ ✦ ⋆
Orion has hunted beneath these stars for decades. His arrows are not forged, fletched or carried in a quiver. When he draws the silver bow, starlight gathers beneath his fingers and becomes a weapon.
There is only one rule the bow will never break:
“The Hunter cannot loose an arrow
at anything that is not part of the Hunt.”
You should not be in his hunting grounds.
You certainly should not have caught the attention of his Hounds.
And yet here you are. They're watching you. And Orion notices.

The stars brought you here.
What they intend to do with you remains unseen.
