Aha!! Finally finished drawing a full body view of Nadira!

As mentioned before, Nadira takes her position in security seriously and trains hard — she's trained for most of her life. It's a great activity to let off steam when she's angry, though she seems to fall into a trance. Like she's placed herself in the middle of battle. Be cautious when interrupting her.

While in complete uniform, it's easy to assume that she's a pure-blood Wyrmtain (Mountain subspecies of Kakorean), but it's other ouytfits like this one that you can see her draykle (Snow subspecies) features — the fur at the base of her tail and her thighs

I hope you guys like her!

I still want more seasons!! But if we don’t get them, that was still a wonderful way to send off The Orville! I could feel at peace with that ending.

[kokoreanoftheorville]

Aha! Got my bestie into watching the Orville with me, now he's making an OC as well >:D

Still in the midst of writing Nadira's character form. But I'm thinking of writing a series like I had tried to do a while back with the 'what is a 'dragon'' series still cringing at the old character. But I feel much better how writing more with this version of Nadira.

I'm also open to X Reader requests or ideas cause I do want to start writing for the Orville! So send them in!

Nadira Redesign

Hi everyone! Like I've said before, I've been rewriting and redesigning Nadira since getting back into The Orville and having much more Kakorean lore to work with and to work into her story.

I present redesigned Nadira!

I hope I've shown improvement in my drawings since the last time I drew Nadira (I'll actually draw a full body version soon). A lot of her changes are giving her more personality in my opinion that comes from the world that Kakoro has become and the arc she can go through with the crew of the Orville.

Nadira works in Security. First alongside Alara and later Talla as a Lieutenant. But appears to take up a secondary position to the Chief of Security. When working with Alara, she was acting more like a teacher to the young woman. With Talla, they're more evenly levelled colleagues.

Kakoreans are known as pacifists that take in refugees and other people in need. While they work with the Union, it's rare to see them on ships, let alone apply for positions on them. Even rarer for them to apply for Security. So when Nadira first arrived on The Orville, the crew was surprised to see quite a tough-looking drake.

I'll be sure to write an OC sheet for her. But I hope the changes so far are cool anyway!

[kokoreanoftheorville]

Hi! Me again after way too long!

So I just watched season 3, episode 1 of the Orville and now I'm really gonna rewatch the series again and redo my OC Nadira. cause I love this setting, but I'm confident that I've improved in drawing and writing since the last time I posted here.

And the lore of the Kakoreans has expanded so much since I made Nadira, it's going to be fun implementing that into a new version of her. Plus she's due for a redraw and possibly a redesign

I've also been compiling my Kakorean lore into a world anvil page, you're free to read here

What is a ‘Dragon’? (Captian Ed Mercer x Nadira) Part 1

Pairing: Captain Ed Mercer x Nadira (Original Female Character)

Series Synopsis: Nadira is the only Kakorean aboard the Orville and indeed feels lonely no matter how much she denies it to anyone who asks. So Ed decides to reach out to her, hoping to make her feel comfortable. It turns out they bond more than either of them expected.

Author's Notes: This was meant to just be a one-shot, but I didn't want to write a long one-shot, so this is now gonna be a little series. So have fun with that, I guess. 

"Lieutenant Nadira's finished her report about the treaty. She says she sent it to you, Captain." Alara informed Ed, glancing over her shoulder to check if he nodded. 

Glancing down at his comscanner, he received the notification of the document. He nodded "Yep, got it." This was going to be a fun report. It had been a few days since the Navarian-Bruidian conflict and... eventual agreement over Lopovius. 

No one was daring to mention what had happened with Darulio, especially  Ed and Kelly. They were both trying to bang the retepsian. At the same time, the lone Kakorean ran herself silly around the ship to accommodate the two warring species. 

Ed's brows furrowed as he thought about it. "Alara," Ed spoke up, lifting his gaze to the xelayan as she turned to him curiously. "Has Nadira left her office today? At all?" 

"I don't think so, sir. I saw her this morning for breakfast. But once her shift started, she hasn't made a move." Alara's brows as she recalled the movements of her friend, her lips formed into a hard line, slowly nodding her head, confirming to Ed and herself of her thoughts. 

Ed nodded in return, shifting in his chair as he stared at the comscanner. His fingers tapped at the armrest relentlessly. The trail for them was smooth, which was excellent! But it left Ed's head unoccupied, left to swarm with random thoughts. 

The Captain abruptly stood from his chair, telling Kelly that he'd be back soon. The blonde blinked, opening her mouth to question what he was doing, but he was gone before the words could be sounded. With a sigh, Kelly moved to the Captain's chair.

Ed's path was uninterrupted and swift, it wasn't long before he was standing in front of the Relations Office where Nadira resided. He tapped the large button on the screen beside the door. The loud beep earning a hesitant 'Come in.' from the woman inside. Ed stepped inside, looking up to greet the Kakorean. 

Nadira's dark purple eyes shot up from her work. She blinked upon seeing Ed, her scaly ears pointing shooting up to match her expression. "Captain! What brings you here?" She asks, closing her desk screen to give Ed her full attention. 

"Sorry, am I not welcome?" He asked, the corner of his lips quirking upwards in an amused smirk. 

"Huh? No-No-No-No! I just didn't expect--" The Kakorean fumbled, standing from her chair and waving her clawed hands frantically. 

"Nadira. It's alright, I was joking,"  Ed chuckled as he gestured for her to relax. He watched as she returned to her seat, her shoulders slumping along with her wings and ears. Ed found himself smiling softly as he observed the way Nadira would react. It reminded him of Earth's cats, it was cute. 

"My apologies, Captain. Guess I've been tense lately..." Nadira admitted, scratching the side of her head sheepishly. 

"Yeah... about that, uh, do you wanna get a drink? Later tonight." Ed blurted out, quickly shutting his mouth already kicking himself for just suggesting this out of the blue. Was she even comfortable around him? Yeah, he was too forward. Ed raised his hands to dismiss the idea. 

"Drinks? With me?" Nadira interrupted, raising an eyebrow as she gestured to herself. "If I may ask sir; why?" She tilted her head.

Ed sighed, stepping forward to sit on the chair before her desk. Running a hand through his hair, he looked back at Nadira with furrowed brows, while she looked back at him with confusion and curiosity. 

"I feel bad." He said, but Nadira simply continued to tilt her head, subtly requesting that he elaborate. "You, Alara and the rest of the crew were handling everything while I was..." He attempted to choose the right word for what happened, his hands coming up like he was physically trying to build the name. He ultimately huffed in defeat, then shrugging his shoulders "... you know." 

Nadira's lips morphed into a smile, gentle and kind. She spoke softly, "Captain. It wasn't your fault. No one on this ship expected what happened. In fact, I'm still annoyed that I wasn't informed of this, or that the Union didn't know." She chuckled, then shrugging her shoulders. "But that's behind us. Well, we'll remember if we have another retepsian on board."

"Oh, god no." Was Ed's immediate reaction to the idea, surprising the Kakorean. Nadira snorted, swiftly covering her mouth with her hand, but it didn't stop her giggling from being heard. 

"I'm s-sorry, C-Captain," Her wings unfolded from her back, moving to cover her face as she attempted to regain her composure. "That was inappropriate and rude, I'm so sorry!" 

"Hey," Ed stood up, reaching out, placing his hand upon the blue scales of her wing and gently moving the limb away. "It's alright, Nadira. I'm not offended." He offered a little smile. Which grew wider as Nadira's wings to shifted away to show an embarrassing blush on her face. 

Both sat in silence as their eyes shifted, eventually making contact. Ed cleared his throat, stepping back sheepishly while Nadira rubbed the back of her neck similarly. 

"Uh, so are you interested in having a drink?" Ed asked, breaking the timid silence. 

Nadira glanced to the side, then returning her gaze to her Captain. She smiled and nodded. "I am. It sounds nice. Thank you, Captain." 

"Call me, Ed. See you tonight after our shifts. Mess Hall?" He asked.

"Mess Hall." Nadira confirmed, "See you tonight... Ed." His name came out hesitantly like she was testing it out on her tongue. Both smiled at the sound of it before returning to their posts—both anxious for the night ahead.

.....

.....

So, it's been a while.

I disappeared off of this blog for quite a while mostly cause I dropped out of The Orville since we're still waiting for season 3.

But I've recently started watching the series again and I'm back to being Orville trash 😂

And it will include drawing Nadira again and hopefully writing for her with the rest of the crew! I may still do prompts here and there. But we'll see!

I hope you're all staying safe and healthy during these times

Hey! There is a SERIOUS lack of Orville x readers. I’d loooove if you wrote more? I’m sure lots of other people would too

First off;

As for actually writing for The Orville, I should watch the series again to refamiliarize myself with the characters that I love. You know, just to study up.

I’ll reblog a list of dialogue prompt that can be used to request a fic. It helps get the creative juices flowing.

[kokoreanoftheorville]

Imagine Alara’s parents suggesting that she could have some luck in romance now that she is home to recover from the ‘Gravity Sickness’. Alara glares at her parents because they don’t know about you; her boyfriend/girlfriend. Who she knows is waiting for her back on The Orville.

Gif is not mine. If you wish to write an imagine based on this, go ahead. Please tag me so I can read and reblog it :)

Episodes ‘Identity 1+2′ and ‘Blood of Patriots’

Identity Part 1 and 2

It had to pull at my heartstrings, didn’t it? Well, it did a good job of using our compassion for the Finns and their relationship with Isaac in these episodes, especially with the cold reminder that a machine should not be able to feel anything let alone feel something for a biological. 

I do like how it completely opened the path for peace with the Krill. Because it is a really good reason to join together; to fight a common enemy. Plus the history of the Kylon is interesting since it is the topic of most apocalyptic storylines that have robots gaining sentience. 

Blood of Patriots

Right off the bat, a really good Gordan episode. Cause we all know that Gordan is immensely loyal to his friends but also to his ship. His old friend had his reason for what he was doing and it does make us question the morality of his mindset.

I am glad to see Gordan’s loyalty and the knowledge he does have of the situation. Also glad to see that they didn’t need Teleya in the episode for the peace talks to actually proceed as planned, cause otherwise, it would feel that Teleya is something to lean on.

[kokoreanoftheorville]

Have an idea percolating in my head for an Orville fanfic drabble where the Orville heads back to Earth for repairs and Ed & Co. visit Opportunity on Mars. I picture a giant museum on Mars detailing the history of the first Mars colony and the whole building is built around Oppy’s final resting place. Been having a rough couple of weeks so I’m trying to get my energy up to write it. Just think it’d be a neat idea.

There are Art trades and Comissions Open on my deviantart DS3942.

Season 2 Episode 7

I don’t know how to word my thoughts on it. Cause well-done episode with all my sympathy. But the subject matter hits kinda home. Like barely, but enough to bring up old times. I’m just not gonna try and essay this one. Just know I still find it a good episode, just not one I will actively choose to rewatch on its own.
