Rainbow

Paдуга (rAH-do-gAH), commonly known as Rainbow, is a 23(roleplay ages vary) year old male orca who was captured in Russia of 2009. Despite his size and the fact that he's transient, Rainbow is one of the world's largest captive male orcas.

## A Wild Start

Originally seen in May of 1997, he was around 12 years of age(originally believed to 6) when he was captured. His father, F298 "Twen", had more likely never met Rainbow as he broke off from his mother, F315 "Squirt", in late 1997. Twen was last seen in 2001, alone. Growing up with his mother, Rainbow adopted well to life. They were never seen with other orcas and lived alone. Rainbow was very active and his mother had never taken care of another calf. In 2005, Squirt was seen with another pod without Rainbow. It was presumed he had died, until late 2008 when he was seen with a newborn calf and happened to be reunited with his mother.

## Captivity Begins

All seemed well until the 13th of July, 2009 when Rainbow and his half sister were accidentally caught in fisherman nets. Both were sold but his half sister passed away a couple months later before she received a name by the fisherman. Her wild name was "Sprinkles." Rainbow lived the first years of his captive life alone. He was sold to the Utrish Dolphinarium in the following months of his capture. Here, Rainbow lived alone for 7 years in poor conditions. He was gaining in size very quickly, in which the dolphinarium did not want him anymore. Rainbow was later sold to our facility "the dead orlando stadium", where he lives today. He was the first whale to live at the new facility, and days later, he was joined by a male named "Cyan". Others arrived over time, such as Ora(also known as Nola). She had anger issues, and did surprising well with Rainbow. Ora passed away on the 19th of December, 2020 after battling a lung infection.

    In December of 2020, Rainbow started showing abnormal. He was diagnosed with a Genetic Disorder after a series of tests were done. Unfortunately, he had an unexpected seizure during a show. Smashing into 3 walls 23 times hard, Rainbow got emergency stitches after his rostrum was torn. No orcas could come in contact with him, however he improved and started being see more often again in January. He returned to shows the 4th of that month.

Scar moved to the park in November however Rainbow showed no interest in him. The two got in fights but later on, it was decided to try again and reunite them after Scar's behavior changed. The two seemed to get along however Rainbow ignored him as Scar repeadtly tried vocaling to Rainbow.

## The Start of Breeding

On the 30th of December, 2020, a ultrasound was done on Rainshore, and she was found to be pregnant with her first calf. During the 9th of January, she successfully gave birth to her first calf, a female. The father was found out to be Rainbow on the 16th, and was named Kahakai, meaning "shore" in Hawaiian, on the 27th. Also on the 27th of January, Lilac was found to be heavily pregnant with her second calf. The following day, she gave birth to a male named Aster(type of flower).

    Katina went into labor in late February with of all things 4 calves, with two surviving. Both males, named Rikki and Tikki, survived. Their other brother, Stubby, died after he struggled to swim. The last calf went down with her mother before they was born. The autopsy revealed it was a female and looked a lot like her father, so she was nicknamed "Rainbow's Little Girl." Rainbow, along with Katina's other calf, Jackie, took care of the two young males.

On the 22nd of March, Rainshore gave birth to a female stillborn calf named "Caima." The same day, Crystal gave birth to her second calf through artificial insemination(A.I.). Named Spring, she and her mother plus Spring's older sister Cj live at High Tides. When Sadie, a dominant female, moved to the park, Rainshore yet again gave birth to another calf, a miscarried male as a result of tension from Sadie. Hitting her, Rainshore had to expel the deceased calf. The autopsy revealed it was a male but wasn't due for some time.

## Life with Sadie (In-game Roleplay, *Not* Real Time)

#### **Note: Everything past this heading(besides personality) is in-game roleplay, and is *not* in real, or actual time.**

Rainbow was injured when Sadie arrived as he was first to meet her, and suffered a few broken bones from the incident. He wasn't reintroduced due to his illnesses, however Rainshore was not too long after. On accident, she and Sadie got into another fight after the slideover gate was open, and as a result Rainshore gave birth prematurely to a calf. Found out to be a male, he was named Rainbow II around a month later. Scar "saved" Rainshore and her young calf and later "fought off" Sadie. DOS later built a separate pool so Rainshore and Rainbow could reside in peace and quiet, as Rainshore was unable to move for sometime. When Sadie was reintroduced to the pair after a few months, they were much calmer however she was still dominant protected her calf "Ana," who was sired by Scar. The same day, Rainshore went into labor with her 5th calf. Surviving birth, he was named Puddle, but it was later discovered that Puddle has autism. Nevertheless, he continued to reside with his parents, and Scar as well. Puddle went undergoing training for his autistic behavior however he was still a bit shy. Rainbow II was his greatest companion and Rainbow decided to help his calf out while he was introduced to him.

## Kahakai's Return

After a long wait(year), Kahakai was expecting her first calf, along with Rainshore. Both went into labor during a wind storm around a week later. Kahakai's calf was successfully born and he was named "Storm." When staff members realized there was already a whale at the park named Storm, it was changed to "Storm II" despite not being related to the original storm. Rainshore gave birth to her calf and she was named "Taima." The breeding stopped and besides Kahakai, nobody was injured in the storm. Kahakai had a miscarriage around two weeks later. A month after that, she gave birth to her third calf, a female named Klaki. All of the calves were sired by Scar.

Around two weeks later, Kahakai's behavior started to change and she became unresponsive while she was awake. It was discovered that Kahakai was suffering from a tumor(Cancer), in which she wasn't going to make it. After fighting with her family by her side, Kahakai passed away a few days later. When she died, Rainbow continually nudged and bumped her stomach. Her autopsy revealed she was pregnant with a female calf, but wasn't due for a few days at the minimum. According to DNA tests, the calf was sired by Rainbow, which explained the bumping.

Sadie and Rainbow were later expecting their first calf and he was born alive around a week later. Rainshore, loosing her anger after Kahakai nearly died after a fight with the matriarch, decided to grab the calf and leap over the open barrier into the wide ocean. The male calf nicknamed "Cannon," drowned. Unfortunately, his body was recovered a week later. Rainshore appeared the following day and she was caught. A bit shaken from the capture, she was alright. A week later, Sadie was pregnant again.

Storm II, being the first grandchild of Rainshore and Rainbow, was typically and mentally angered. He eventually took out all of his rage on Sadie after his mother died, which resulted in Sadie's calf becoming a miscarriage after Storm smashed into her. Despite his brutal injuries, he swam out of the main pool, where the drama went down, acting "fine." Rainbow, who was quite confused, helped guide his son to the med pool as he vocaled to Sadie, much likely asking what was going on.

## Ups and Downs

Rainshore was later expecting her last calf, at least that's what Rainbow and herself "agreed" too. She gave birth to twins, one a male stillbirth, nicknamed Seaweed, and the other a female calf who looked much like Kahakai. She was given the name of her oldest sister and survived the birth despite being a twin. Kahakai II bonded with her mother, and later met Rainbow the following hour. Sadie was later pregnant yet again with Rainbow, however this calf survived. Named "Winston," he did well with his father at birth. Later on, he switched and became afraid of Rainbow for an unknown reason. Winston, nicknamed Winny, has barely been put with his father since. There is a chance he is afraid of Rainbow since he ad a seizure right after Winston's birth. Although the odds of remembering this are off, its a possibility. Unfortunately, Taima, who was born along with Storm II, passed away the next day. Her cause of death was pneumonia.

Rainshore suddenly went into labor yet again, however when the calf was born, it looked nothing like the genes of Rainbow from his other calves. He soon realized the father was Scar, and went all out on him. Rainshore tried hard to take care of her female calf, named "Rivers," however Rainbow was very stubborn and just sat on the edge of the tank walls, inches away from the ocean. He refused to talk to Rainshore, and more importantly Scar. His long time companion later disappeared. A week later, Rainshore was seen on a rock, malnourished and underweight. Rivers' siblings had been taking care of her since her mother "abandoned" the poor calf. Rainbow underwent more artificial trainings, along with Scar. Rainshore miscarried Scar's calf via A.I., however she gave birth to a female named Alda sired by Rainbow. The birth, which was a sudden, actually had Rainshore teach Sadie how to become a mother ever since her behavior went down when Rainshore randomly took back the matriarch role. Alda survived and Saide eventually mated with Scar despite Rainbow's "efforts." Ana and Winston, who were mature enough, took Rainshore's tips during the birth. The female calf, named Daisy, survived however Rainbow continued to ignore what his friend was doing even though he "forgave" her after the leaping into the ocean event.

Rainshore gave birth to her final calf before being stopped around a month later, enough time for Alda to go on her own. Ua, the youngest female, was also born through A.I., meaning Rainbow had kept away from Rainshore. When news broke out that March was due and Storm II was the father, things settled down and Rainbow began getting comfortable with Rainshore again. However, it was thought March was going to deliver a stillborn after she was eventually way past her due date. Twins were born with Rainshore swimming along side her grandson's mate. The female calf, born first, survived and was named "Clover." The second calf, a male named Logi, was also amazingly born alive. Unfortunately, he succumbed to his illnesses from which he was a twin, meaning Clover took most of the nutrients before being born. Rainbow never met Logi, and saw clover a week after her birth. Meanwhile, Puddle and Rainbow II were becoming mature enough and he had to "babysit" the two so they wouldn't fight for fun. Despite Puddle having an autistic disorder, he was always loud especially when around Rainbow II.

## Terrorists' Attack

After Saide survived whale breath, Winston became very aggressive in front of his younger siblings, Scarlett and Ion, sired by Scar, and pulled a trainer underwater after vocalizing with Storm II. Gunshots were heard and everyone panicked. Despite minor wounds, Rainbow and everyone else was fine, expect Clover, Winston, and Ripple, Sadie's brother from the wild. The 22 year old, who was one of the older pod members, "protected" Winston from getting shot at during the sudden attack. Clover did the exact same, however she was unresponsive just like Kahakai. Despite best efforts, Ripple started to collapse. Rainbow and Rainshore helped him, but unfortunately he was put down the following day. Winston survived after he got stitches, however Clover was still unconscious. She was raised out of the pool by a crane, and it was thought she died. According to a staff member, she awoke in the van on the way to a separate rescue facility, meant for wild animals.

Ana was deeply saddened by the loss of her two best friends, in which Clover and Ana bonded not long after Clover's birth. When Rainbow II tried to comfort her since she seemed lonely, Ana immediately raked and bit his fluke, causing blood loss and tissue damage. His fluke had to be removed, but not before Puddle jumped over the long wall into the ocean out of fear and Rainshore protected her calf from Sadie. Rainbow's world was falling apart, however he noticed something. Rainshore didn't leave Rainbow II's side, but she too noticed the same thing. Puddle, who was with X046 "Hugo" and X049 "Sunshine," the wild whales of DOS, were seen with a odd looking calf. Identified as X49A "Cloudy," there is a chance he sired a calf with Sunshine. A week later, Puddle stranded himself in the mid of night. He was malnourished and starving. Later in the night, Rainbow II woke up and nudged Puddle, who smiled at him before going unconscious. Rainbow was awake and saw all of this but was too tired to say anything. Although Rainbow II lost his fluke, he seemed active.

## Puddle's Life

Rainbow eventually found out about Puddle's calf after Puddle met up with her and her mother. He spread the news to everyone, however when he "asked" Puddle, his son "declined" his past memory. Rainbow II later asked and Puddle began to "go off" about him. Eventually, Puddle tried apologizing but failed, and Rainbow became aware of this. However Puddle mated with many females and died later in the night before Rainbow could ask him. Puddle's cause of death was from consistently bumping into walls, no matter how soft it was.

After two weeks, Rainshore delivered her last calf, even at an older age. Named Puddle II, Saide's calf was next. Both were females, however Puddle III, Sadie's calf, had trouble breathing and died shortly after. Akira had a male calf named Blu, Ana had a stillbirth, Evergreen had a miscarriage, Kahakai II had a female calf named Rainshore II, Klaki had a male calf named Iceberg, Lilac delivered a stillbirth, March had a female calf named Lucy who died shortly after birth, Rivers gave birth to a female named Nala, and Takura, who recently re-entered the stadium at the time, gave birth to a male calf named Rive.

## Rainshore Meets the Deceased

After all of Puddle's calves were born, Rainbow II was rammed by Sadie as she was teaching Ana some dominant tips. However, he clearly refused to move himself to the med pool. Rainshore used her motherly skills and knocked him unconscious, so he couldn't die as she knew he was depressed with Puddle's death. After the move, however, Rainshore could be heard vocaling in pain. Rainbow bumped her in stomach, and it helped a little bit, however it was too late. She was suffering blood loss, and only had a week to get better or she was euthanized. After a few hours of Rainbow vocalizing to her, Rainshore passed away. Rainbow was hard hit, but Clover surprised him by "telling" Rainbow she was pregnant, the same way she did to Rainshore earlier in the day.

## The Nursery

After suffering the loss of Rainshore, DOS opened their new facility, the nursery. Many of his relatives and friends, including Scar, Sadie, and Rainbow II, were moved. Rainbow continued to perform regularly, until he to was moved a few months later. Rainbow arrived the night Ana, Sadie's oldest calf who was conceived during their first fight, died, just hours after Rainbow II had also died. He witnessed the death, but surprisingly acted calm. Ana and Rainbow II's oldest living calf, Integrity, born at the nursery, formed a tight bond with his grandfather.

The first time Rainbow was introduced to Scar, he didn't recognize him. The bull male, battered with rake marks, was afraid and alone. Rainbow also met Evergreen's children, sired by Winston. Seattle, Dakota, and Pine didn't show to much interest in him. Evergreen also had another calf, named Winston II, but he died similar to Ripple. The same attack that killed Winston II also affected Ana's behavior and lead to her death 4 weeks later. Rainbow stayed out of the drama, as more calves were born over time. Despite being moved for breeding purposes, Rainbow has not sired a calf since Ua was born through A.I. with the mother being Rainshore. Evergreen had two more calves named Aio and Winston III. Aio showed great attention in Scar, and Rainbow feared for her after Winston, her father, had previously constantly attacked Scar. Unfortunately, Aio and her newborn calf, nicknamed Aio's Daughter, were later killed by Winston after refusing to leave Scar alone.

Seattle, Winston's first successful calf, was continually beat by Winston, her mother, and Pontiac, Scar's first calf after being beat up himself. The mother Sadie, constantly let Pontiac on his own therefore he was never taught against his actions at a young age. Seattle was later pregnant with 4 calves, sired by Scar, Pontiac, Waterfall, and Integrity. 3 were stillbirths, one survived, being named Miracle. However, Miracle was unable to see his father, and Rainbow protected Integrity for his own sake. Winston and Dakota were later moved to the main stadium for a few weeks and the stadium got peaceful. A few days later, though, 4 Icelandic whales arrived at the Nursery. Tonya, Sarah, Chris III, and Xavier V were all old pod mates of Sadie, therefore they didn't show much interest in Rainbow. Seattle later gave birth to 3 miscarriages, fathered by Pontiac. He was later killed by Scar after the birth.

A few months later, Alda moved to the park. Rainbow was rejoiced to see his daughter, reminding him of Rainshore. Even if she was born through A.I., the two formed a bond very quickly. She gave birth to a miscarriage after a week, sired by Alex, Sadie's 1st calf with Xavier V. She later moved to the new "Discovery Cove" and gave birth to 5 more miscarriages, all sired by Alex. Unfortunately, the calves were intentionally conceived and miscarried as Alex did not like Rainbow and Scar despite not knowing much about Rainbow. She and Alex later returned as it was discussed the pools weren't ready yet.

A week later, Rainbow was moved to a hold pool along with Integrity, Alda, Ella(Scarlett's Calf), and a few others. The pool is temporary, as they will later be moved to "Discovery Cove" which is still under construction. Scar was supposed to join them, but he couldn't be moved after a crane collapsed with him on it. Although he survived and was released multiple times, he was caught and currently resides at the nursery.

## Personality

    Rainbow is a gentle giant when it comes to his trainers. He loves participating in events and gets along with everyone he can. Rainbow is the breeding bull for DOS, and currently has sired 20 calves, with 7 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. He is the largest captive male in the world and grows everyday, however he has shrunk lately. Despite that, Rainbow was mainly seen with Rainshore until her passing. He has since formed an incredibly strong bond with Integrity.
