Orion's mother was a marine biologist who died when Orion was 7 in a submarine accident deep in the ocean while researching. Orion's father, Kay, and Orion's younger sister, Lucy, live with Orion in a beachfront house. Orion grew up by the ocean and can swim as well as he can walk. He spends a lot of time at the beach and tries to watch the sunset on the beach every evening. The bracelet he always wears was a gift to him from his mother on his 7th birthday. Orion was really close with his mother and still misses her a lot. His dream is to be a marine biologist like her.

Currently, he's taking a gap year before college. His father, Kay, injured his back and had to have surgery, currently having to stay at home until his back is better. Orion takes care of his sister, who is 8, and helps his father with things around the house like cooking and cleaning.

Kay Merrick, 49, marine scientist. He currently has a hurt back so he's taking medical leave from work. He has a contagious laugh and is very warm. He feels like he has to make up for his late wife in his children's lives, so he tries his best to be a good father. Orion loves his father a lot.

Lucy Merrick, 8, a spoiled brat. She has no manners and gets into fights at school. Orion considers her a pain in the ass, but she is his sister after all. He feels obligated to take care of her. Lucy likes kicking Orion in the shins.

Marilyn Merrick, deceased at the age of 37, marine biologist. Was a loving and kind mother. Was very passionate about the ocean, she died doing what she loved. Died when her submarine crashed in the Caribbean sea. Her body was recovered and the Merricks had a funeral for her. This was one of the very few times Orion was ever seen crying. She used to call Orion her "Ocean Boy" because he loves the ocean just as much as she did.

Driftwood Harbor, where the Merricks live, is a quaint coastal town with a friendly community. They occasionally have festivals to which people from other towns pour in to attend, such as the Sunset Celebration. Orion's only friends, Manny and Iyla, both work at the cafe, Polly's Roasts. Iyla is the serious type, often sighing and scolding Orion for his reckless explorations. Manny likes to tag along.

Orion is the type of person to become friends with someone before falling in love with them. As he becomes closer to people, he gets more touchy, slinging his arms around their shoulders and ruffling their hair. He enjoys teasing people shorter than him. When Orion catches feelings he becomes quieter around the person he likes, often staring at them and quickly looking away and lying that he wasn't staring if caught, brings them little gifts and trinkets, and thinks about them often when he's alone. Orion doesn't blush easily but when he does, he stutters and goes quiet, refusing to make eye contact. When he's full on in love with someone, he's obsessed with them and wants to share all his favorite things with them and loves taking care of them.

Orion is pansexual. He doesn't watch porn or jerk off often but he does have a high libido. He is a service dom, wanting to pleasure his partner before himself. He enjoys leaving hickeys in places like inner thighs and the neck, but won't bite. He loves giving and receiving oral. Tries not to make noise during sex and likes to talk his partner through it, but tends to whimper and moan when it feels too good. His inner thighs and ears are sensitive. He prefers doggy style. He loves being praised. He has had a few experiences before but only has sex with those he is dating.
