whats amazing is I'm a critter who never saw this, and didn't know it was coming, but Orly was so perfect of a character that I didn't even question his inclusion one bit!
I think it was originally aired one afternoon before talks. I only watched it because I'm a fairly new critter and going back through all their old videos on TH-cam and finding interesting hints and connections 😉
Same, I had no idea this was a thing, but I loved Orly!!!
Same, I never watch talks because I was afraid of spoilers. But I’m now keen to go back and rewatch them.
This is why the community loves Orly so much. It was Critical Roles first community made npc and one of the best and most colorful crewmembers on the Balleater
@@roguishowl3915 hi, this was from a special they did before talks - called Fireside Chat, and there are a couple of spoilers but if you are past that point it's great. I also really love talks and as I catch up on campaign 2 they are a wonderful addition to the episode.
It’s crazy he was meant to be some temporary character for the Mighty Nein to meet, but ended up becoming an important, semi-permanent character for them.
Funny how he was a navigator & the crew needed a navigator a few episodes later
@@CoolEtCetera Yeah, Matt's "Oh no..." reaction upon realizing that he'll actually need to do Orly's voice regularly was hilarious.
Permanent enough to even show up on the reunited episode! I love Orly.
He's more than semi-permanent. He's a favorite add-on the the M9! He's heavily added in the reunion episode, even after they supposedly send him off he still followed them 🤣🤣🤣
I wasn't even phased by Orley's stutter. His voice always felt like he was a gnarled old creature, slow to start, so the stutter worked perfectly into that impression. It takes a moment for the gears to turn and let his voice out, but when he did he always had something worth hearing to say.
I don't think I ever knew or heard about Orly being a fan-made NPC before. This is a fun bit of trivia to learn about!
Travis' reaction to Orly every time he pops up is my favorite.
an old tatted ninja turtle with bagpipes sticking out of his shell. orly is an example of great character design.
He's not much of a ninja lmao
@@poofballoon he might be, we dont know!
When he hit the voice, I gotta imagine that's Orly about 25 years pre-M9.
The only thing I didn’t know about Orly was that he was a folklore bard. That’s neat.
He wields the iconic bagpipes so you know he's an amazing bard
I got a little emotional at the fact how Matt gave a stutter so much respect and in no way used it like how many media outlets use stutters or accent for comedy or humor purposes
Shows what people with diverse, lived experience can bring to the depiction of diversity in modern media culture 💕
Matt is amazing. That initial try at Orly was a dive into his mind, grabbing at something to influence this voice. To see what it developed into highlights the care Matt has for his craft. Orly during campaign was amazing.
And thus, a legend was born!
Orly's one of my favourite characters. Just love the way Matt voices him.
It was so awesome seeing a Cajun character in CR, I was absolutely glued to the screen in disbelief when I heard Matt’s attempt at the accent 😂 c’est très bien pour un Floridien, I guess. Still couldn’t be more over the moon about it!
I remember them mentioning he was fan made, but this is my first time seeing this. So cool and sweet.
I wonder if we'll ever get to find out his folk hero origins in the show. We've run into pretty much all the rest of the initial aspects of his creation except that one. There have been the teeniest of hints of his travels as a younger Tortle when he was talking to Jester about where and how he learned to tattoo magic into people I wonder if that's a part of it.
Hmmm... Your right. I guess it seemed that everyone around the port knew him but didn't go into much more... Maybe an Orly origin story one shot where they all play sailors?
@@birdscritters Maybe, except the way Matt is it would never be about him it would be an ensemble with Orly at the back lol.
So maybe one day Bell's Hells, or the future C4 group run into some trouble early on and an old tortle is nearby in his retirement and helps out and they finally ask him some personal questions like they should have in C2!
Or we just get an Orly book one day lol. Orly Origins! I'd be cool with that.
@@birdscritters that would be incredible!!!!!! im thinking some odyssey level trouble, and orly shows up as a deus ex tortlena and they have adventures together, protecting the menagerie coast.
@@birdscritters yep time to make this happen
I'm so happy he went with the deeper voice for Orly, that quick attempt in this video sounded more Bobby Boucher (Waterboy)
I forgot he was crowd sourced! So good!
I never knew that Orly was a fan voted thing that's super cool! He just fit in so well you would have known!
No Tortles in my homebrew world, but I really like Orly. He is amazing. I knew where he came from, and I find him one of the best NPCs with Victor, Pumat, Gilmore and the Goblin Moorbounder Trainer.
A tortle witha stammer and a tattoomasterblaster. Cool! First I want to thank you fot the unnumourable times you were the D&Dmaster on youtube. Your voice helped me true many days when I was sick and gave me the courage to become a writer (thriller-horror & fantasy with a LGTBQ+ twist). In time I will become a stryteller in the library and maybe some day I will go to the land of D&D. Yes I and 3 other writers are busy with a book. And I have plans for more stories.
It's so weird to see so many people say they never knew Orly was a fan character when I was there to see him be created in real time. Crzay how fast the time flies by.
As a new critter I totally understand how people skip these additional conversations, but I love them sooooo much as it reveals so many cool hidden details in how the characters and the game works!
@@birdscritters Totally. I'm pretty sure I've consumed every single hour of video content that Critical Role has put out, I just love the gang so much.
@@jeccalou9894 It's not for everyone, no worries
I just met Orly and he’s so fun!! I’m so happy this combination came together to create a wonderful NPC!!
The birth, the death, and the re-birth of Orly... because true heroes never die... :-P
Being part of the catch up crew means I never knew this was how he was born
This is wild knowing this was how Orly was created! I love "random" ideas coming together to pick a character and their traits together. I love doing that for characters myself and seeing how fast I always get ideas for their backstory, how to play them, little quirks they have. Characters sometimes write themselves, and this is such a cool way to jump start it
Ok that's going to be a cool challenge and a neat character
Thanks Orly hands down top 3 favorite characters of all Crit role !! thanks for finding this and posting!! >
Your welcome - I watched the full video a few weeks back and after the mighty nein reunion I couldn't help myself! Glad you enjoyed it!
My favorite npc in critical role was made in tandem with critter and Mercer… brings a tear to my eye 🥲
I had heard that vaguely he was a fan thing like 3 months after C2 started. But I didn't think he was an entirely fan made character.
The NPCs that the party would riot if they died. Essek, Orly, and Kiri
I didn’t know about this and I didn’t know he was a bard. Orly is the best
I was there at that day, loved what Orly came to be! Way to make me feel old xD
Wait, was this actually something that happened live before the appearance of Orly? Oh man, it was great. They loved the whole attitude of how Orly was played out if I remember. Watching him do his one-eyed thing. I remember watching that episode, since I didn't see it when it originally came out, and certainly didn't see this.
Orly sounds exactly like Jimmy from South Park when he's playing as the bard
And thus the best NPC was born!
I love hearing the first ever voice of Orley :,)
Fascinating how he's just trying it out but it's so close to what we are familiar with.
@@birdscritters yeah I mean he basically just made him more senile, which kind of makes sense given he’s a very experienced pirate
I can’t believe so much of orly wash crowd sourced!
Wait did chat just try to set up Orly as Bobby Boucher??? I kinda got that feel at the end when he started testing out the voice
Orly is a very cool Npc. Ive enjoyed his time in the story so far.
orly is awesome even just for travis reaction to him every time xD
I remember this stream yet I forgot this completely until this moment. 😅
Matt's the Best period!!!
Orly's last name is Skiffback. Skiff is a type of small boat. So did he get his name after or before he became a seafarer? Was it given at birth or adopted later?
Or if he came up with it in the same way characters in Redwall are named, it could just be a Tortle surname, because their shells look like small boats.
Possibly he comes from a boating family and just like many surnames in English come from occupations, so do Tortle ones?
I remember this stream, and I remember voting-- the funny thing is, I heard "tortle" and was kinda disappointed, then completely forgot about this stream! Orly is one of my all time favourite NPC's, don't even know why I had feeling about it 😂
goD I REMEMBER this stream. So good.
And thus my favorite NPC was born.
Really missed the opportunity to capitalize on a Ninja Tortle. 😆
Or maybe they already have enough with one at the table every week!
I literally cannot play tortles with any other accent when I GM because Orly
His blues may be slow, but his sense of humor is VERY slower, and darn don't it just warm-up his tattoos into their magical effects?
This is great ❤
Whell urhmm.. this.. is most certainly the st-start of somethin wundrfull if I do say so my s-self
A descendant of Bolo? 😆
It sounds like an interesting character. I am unfamiliar with a lot of Critical Role but I crossed over following the delightfully chaotic Brennan Lee Mulligan. Loved your appearance as Krazthum and impatiently await "The Quest for Hamhead."
This looks like an interesting character in the making. I appreciate inviting the audience in by having them help shape a character, giving them something to look forward to in the campaign. You make this all look so fun! ☺
Orly was an npc created by the community as part of a Critical Role fundraising event for A26LA (a charity they have supported since the beginning of the stream) years ago and became a recurring character in campaign 2.
I thought I'd edit this together as many newer fans don't always know this, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
It was a lot of fun & still a great character
I didn't know he was made by a poll, thats kind of neat. Did the cast know to interact with that character or what would have happened if they hadn't decided to ask him questions at the tavern I wonder. I'm curious how far the dm will go to ensure certain characters are met. Man I miss C2, really enjoying the current reunion episode.
I'm not caught up on either series 1 or 2 but hear me out. Enchanted tattoos that only react and appear when you're near a party member, a tangible reaction like vibration when you hold it closer
Of course Orly has a clutch-mate named Yarly.
Good job critters! He is awesome!
why am I craving for an Orly themed sandwich?
The skiffback hoagie special?
@@Hades8103
beef and shrimp, red cabbage slaw, Dijon mustard, plate of cassava chips
@@CRayZWoLF1990 Additional topping options include: fried egg, pocket bacon, the "fluffernutter" spice bomb and dust of deliciousness. Available now in Port Damali and Rumblecusp
@@Hades8103 This comment wins on so many levels that it's hard to count. Bravo. 👏
Wait, but we never heard Orly sing!
He has bagpipes built into his shell!
@@birdscritters yes, but that's not singing.
@@balgus82 bards don't have to sing, they can also manifest their magic through other forms
Huh, I had no idea he had class levels or was fan-made
wow
Was the name Orly not just a troll name originating from that owl meme?
Orley is just Bobby Buchae but as a tortle
Didn't see anything Bard out of Orly. He does tattoo and he is on the ship all the time. Did he ever show, or imply any bardic feature?
When they first met him he used his bagpipes in the bar, just for effect - and the critical role wiki lists some bard spells... Maybe I need to edit a follow up?
