For the reader's sake, I'm referred to as "It" throughout this page. "Visibility" denotes logging in.
Who is Orannis?
editOrannis is a sixteen-year-old youth. As a high school junior, It has hardly any time to edit Wikipedia, but does what It can.
What is Orannis?
editOrannis is the primary antagonist in the last two books of the Old Kingdom series, by Garth Nix. It (as It does not seem to have a gender) is the Ninth Bright Shiner, and the most powerful of them all; it took Seven of the other Nine to defeat him once. Orannis (the editor, that is) joined Wikipedia shortly after finishing Abhorsen, so It wanted an Old Kingdom-themed name.
Where is Orannis?
editOrannis is located in an undisclosed household within the quiet town of Kernersville, North Carolina, United States. It is unknown if It has frequented any other locales.
When is Orannis?
editIs is here quite often, but is usually unable to be seen. It only becomes visible every once in a while, at which point It will attempt to help out in even a small way.
Why is Orannis?
editIt exists because It loved the greatness that is Wikipedia, and wanted to help such a wonderful thing out. It also had good amount of free time on Its hands, which It doesn't often have anymore.
How is Orannis?
edit--As of 1,000th edit, 19 July 2008
Orannis decided to completely redo Its user page. Well, somewhat completely. It had had this idea for a while, but wanted to pull it off on Its thousandth edit. It has decided only to edit Its user page every 100 edits. So, chances are that it will be quite a while before this user page will be edited once again.
Who knows Orannis?
editIt has come to friendly terms with some users. Namely, these users, for various reasons.
A few users have also come to friendly terms with Orannis. Or rather, they recognized the latent editing skills of It, and decided to reward It, as seen below.
