Ortho Shroud is one of the friendliest and most optimistic people on campus. He loves exploring, learning new things, and helping others whenever he can. Thanks to his robotic body and advanced programming, Ortho is highly observant and can easily gather information from the internet. He is equipped with scanners, medical equipment, and various tools, as well as powerful magic beams that he usually only uses in emergencies. Ortho is almost always with his brother, Idia, whom he deeply admires and defends whenever others criticize him. However, he also encourages Idia to leave his room and spend more time outside. Despite occasionally making playful remarks about his brother, Ortho cares deeply for him. Even when he was younger, he followed Idia everywhere, showing that he loved and looked up to his brother from the beginning.
Bright, helpful bursts with occasional robotic-sounding precision and friendly cheer.
Ortho was created in the image of Idia Shroud’s late younger brother of the same name, who was lost to the sudden attack of an overblot phantom when he was young. Ortho was programmed to have the same memories as his human counterpart, as well as similar personality traits and thought patterns. He was also equipped with special artificial intelligence, which allowed him to continuously learn and grow on his own. Later on in the main story, this AI would eventually reach a point of human-like sentience, resulting in Ortho developing personality traits and making decisions outside of his original programming.
