My silly interpretation of Orin Scrivello

He’s a Folk Punk Greaser but without the progressiveness! ☠️

As a folk punk fan and a neurodivergent person with a fascination for Orin, I felt it was only logical I’d put them together.

Orin mainly likes the patches and pins aspect of folk punk fashion. He spent a lot of time decorating and procuring the look of his leather jacket. He feels it makes him look more intimidating. He found the decorations at thrift or antique stores, which is also where he found his gas mask and dental tools!

When it comes to his personality, he is lacking. Orin is still the same shitty, sadistic guy that prospers off of capitalism and the power it provided, so he plays no part in the anti-capitalist message of the punk community. He’s also a closeted bisexual with internalized homophobia because of the time period. He got into sadism as a kid too and has had a life-long fixation on pain since then. His interest both comes from sexual gratification and intrigue in the niddy griddy of the human body (he loved medical school / dental school). He commits malpractice on a near daily basis, but he IS very passionate about his job and uses it to better his life (sometimes at the detriment of others). Did I mention he’s abusive still? Abusive AND misogynistic! Between his mean streaks, he is charming, sometimes even sweet. Although these are glimpses into something that could be nice, it is often used to manipulate people and keep them in his life. The only harmless thing he does is mess with easy to pick on people. He rarely pays Seymour any attention, but when he does, he takes pleasure in keeping him on edge by hazing him one minute and giving him a hearty side hug another. As much as I hate “I can fix him” cliches, I am an optimist and believe people can fix or at the very least improve their lives. I want my interpretation of Orin to have an open-ended story, allowing me to use him in various plots for my LSOH misc story ideas. Most focus on Orin improving his life in some way / righting his wrongs because those stories make me feel good.

I might work on my hc for Seymour and other characters. Orin and Seymour just have the most hc because I relate to them heavily and project hardcore on them.
