On the event they were introduced, their appearance also depends on the Main Character gender. If you play as Gran (Male!MC) they'll start out with their fem appearance and will finish the event with their male appearance, and if you play as Djeeta (F!MC) it's the opposite.

Otherwise they go from one presentation to the other in different stories they've appeared in since. They're also a dragon -- the human-ish appearance is one they took to approach the Skyrealms, where our story happens.

Orologia is one of the first Dragons in existence, and they oversee Causality. in Granblue the first dragons, also called Wedges, all influence a concept and can manipulate the element they're associated with. By being the Wedge of Causality, Orologia can see different timeline and see how to influence the man timeline in order to get the result they think is best for the world's development. They can also lock themself into simulations where they can experience as many realities as possible in order to see what future would be best to influence and how, but those simulations take a lot on their bodies, and also emotionally because for Orologia everything they see and feel in simulations is real, so when things go wrong the heartbreak caused by it shatters them.

As they've been here since the beginning of time, they have done their best to try to develop a world where the people of the Skyrealms would have a chance to live as happily as they could. However they cannot influence the Astral realm nor the Primal Beasts, as their power only extend to the Skyrealms, and therefore they have to plan around this. Usually they use their powers to influence some things by butterfly effect, because they can't do anything too drastic to alter the future. They also give vision to people who can see the future in order to help them prevent some catastrophic events.

We first hear of Orologia when Arulumaya, one of the psychic in our journey, says they came to her in her visions to warn her about a cataclysm that was about to hit the skyrealm. We then learn more about then when we're introduced to the 6 Dragons, Wedges of the elements and of light and death. Orologia is considered their elder and is also the one who gave them their Skydwellers appearance.

But we officially get introduced to Orologia during the 9th Anniversary event called "... and you".

The Main Character of Granblue Fantasy is considered "A Singularity". Orologia explains that the reason for that is because the Singularity exists in every possible timeline, and therefore, it means that their own existence is going to influence the world pretty drastically, for better or for worse.

Knowing the fate that awaits us, Orologia locked themself in simulations in order to try to figure out the best path we could get to live a happy life with as little struggle as Orologia can manage.

Our Main Character was abandoned by their parents, not knowing anything about their mother and learning that their father left in a journey to never return. As a result, our MC grew up in loneliness, with only Vyrn, the small red dragon at their side.

Orologia, knowing that, therefore first tried simulations where Orologia would be there to be a parent for MC, trying out simulations when MC was a baby.

Immediately, Orologia loved the Main Character as a parent would their child. In those simulations, Orologia stayed around as a supportive parent who would do anything for their child. As those simulations are very real to them, the simple duty of caring for us because we were the Singularity morphed into Orologia caring for us because we are Their Child.

Orologia influenced as many things as they could at first also to try to get our friends out of situations that would cause them so much heartbreak.

For example, they looked at Seox, who was locked in cells and abused as a child by his parents who were part of a master clan of assassin, and when they "tested" Seox for his assassin skills by drugging him, Seox, as a kid, massacred the whole clan and was left dealing with the guilt of such a horrible thing happening to him. He met our father afterward, and our father did his best to help Seox feeling better, but left him there -- and it's over a decade later that Seox meets MC and gets to grow with MC's warmth, and upon learning who our father was, feeling guilty that MC's father was more of a father to him than they were to MC. In the first simulations, Orologia influenced Causality in order for our father to find Seox BEFORE the massacre and bring him back to MC's house. While their father still abandonned them, Seox therefore was also raised by Orologia and Seox and MC could grow up as siblings, avoiding the horrors of their past.

This is the type of things Orologia will tweak in order to give us the happiest life as possible...................

but with horror, Orologia realized that being a dotting parent to MC would bring them to doom no matter what. Without their loneliness to drive them forward, MC keeps meeting an early death.

Orologia ran 5,153 simulations as MC's parent, refusing to acknowledge that the only path MC can survive on is one where they are fully alone. They tried to influence the timeline in every way, constantly having to see how MC would gruesomely die, over and over again. From freak accident to people trying to kill MC just because they're a threat to the skies.

But even if they try so hard to deny this reality, they have to accept eventually that they need to be out of MC's life. And they need Seox to be out of MC's life. they need MC to be fully lonely to survive.

and it breaks Orologia's heart.

During the second part of the event we see as Orologia tried to influence the others timeline to make things easier for our friends, even though they couldn't be there for us. We get to see multiple timelines of our fav characters getting a Bad End and Orologia trying to see the path that will lead to their happiness, and therefore, all the horrors we go through in our events are the necessary evil Orologia had to let come to pass.

By the end of the event, Orologia has ran 576,000,000 simulations, trying to figure out the best one for us.

During "... and you" however, Orologia is dying. Because in one of the simulation they were our parent in, MC wondered what their real mom ever felt about them, and Orologia promised they would figure it out. So Orologia searched every timeline for a moment with our mother that they could show us. Complicated to explain but our Mother is being hid by God's interferance itself, so Orologia strained themselves into getting this message, if only to let us know our mother loved us.

And because they did this many simulations, the barrier between every dimensions is about to collapse unless Orologia bears all of those possible timeline inside of them, and that they're killed before they can go bersek. Meanwhile as it happens, our Main Character is getting feverish and sick. It's implied that this deep connection with Orologia means they can feel what the suffering is all about.

Orologia begs the others 6 dragons, the Eternals, and even MC to kill them. They talk about how they know MC is too soft and they'll never manage to do it, but it's the only way they can leave this future into the hands of our MC, and they were hoping MC wouldn't know how much Orologia loved them so it would be easier, even though he knows this kid won't give up.

Orologia manages to pass down the words from our mothers they tried to reach, and then apologize to MC about all the pain they had to put everyone they loved into for it to be the best ending.

But we're the Singularity and we defy the odds. Fate cannot so easily be calculated for us, and we end up able to save Orologia's life in a way Orologia didn't manage to see coming.

and like that we saved Orologia's life, saved the skies, because ultimately we have the free will to choose our own path, and our own path is to save Orologia.

Ever since then, Orologia has been fine. they've reunited with the others dragons, and for now is acting awkward with MC, because while Orologia has loved MC for so many centuries (because Orologia mentions he started running simulations after the Astrals occupation's war, which we know to be a few centuries ago), MC doesn't know how much Orologia has loved them.

At the very end of the events we realize that there was a code in the name of each chapter. The code translate to "HOW ARE YOU". The final part of the story is called "I'm fine THANK YOU". all of this to conclude the event, called "... and you?"

So that's basically all you need to know about Orologia. They're the parent who stepped up, the one who went through all of those possible scenario, only to keep us safe and love us as much as possible.

They've cameo'ed in some Fate Episodes since then, influencing some light moment of life by butterfly effect, and we learn also that the 6 dragons have been asking Orologia helps to make gifts for us.

But yeah. So far that's where we're at.

And that's why we love them.

so you totally should get our Orologia today.

you're welcome ;D

and if you want i wrote a propaganda poll for them a while back.
