History

Childhood - Sixth Astral Era

Obih'to Chiha is the second son of Obih of the Chiha Keeper-family of Doma. He was not very close to his -- much -- older half-brother Obih'a due to the fact that he was often out and about on jobs away from the city-state itself. He never knew his father, but rumour has it that he was a Seeker traveller, which caused the occasional bullying by his peers on the playground. The rumour might hold true, however, as Obih'to has always been more attracted and fascinated by the sun than the moon, going so far as to claim Azeyma as his guardian deity of choice when he moved to Eorzea. It of course didn't help any in countering the ostracisation by the other children of the Keeper families of Doma. As such, when a young Raen Au Ra about his age going by the name Rin showed kindness to him, he immediately took a shine to her. They quickly became best friends. But none of that mattered much when the Empire came into the picture.

Obih'to was six when his home-city was invaded by the Garlean Empire. He lost his mom to the invasion. Collateral damage, an unfortunate accident. And never saw his older brother again. To this day, he doesn't know if he even is still alive at all. After the invasion, he and Rin ran away from Doma. They stumbled upon Kashi, a Hyur Midlander raised by the Lupin beast clan ever since his father died. The three of them quickly became close friends, completely inseparable. Some time later, they were taken in by the Doman refugees, who would later be led by Yugiri Mistwalker. In the midst of all those people, they learned and trained to be ninjas.

Years later, during a scout mission gone wrong to spy on the Garleans, Kashi and Obih'to got hurt, Kashi nearly losing his left eye while protecting Obih'to, and Obih'to being severely injured while protecting Kashi in return. Despite the fact that Obih'to fell into a coma for weeks after that, and had to go through rehabilitation for long months, both of them recovered completely, in large thanks to Rin who had been undertaking conjurer training. Obih'to sustained scars on the right side of his face he later covered partially with tattoos on that side and facepaint.

Adulthood - Seventh Umbral Era

A little before the Calamity, Obih’to and his friends were sent scouting with a group of Domans for potential allies to help in the Doman uprising. His group ended up beyond Othard, into Eorzea. It took some time to find their bearings there, learn the language and find their footing. They helped around to try and gain allies, one of the job being to help put down the primals in the dark times after the battle of Carteneau.

Eventually, the Doman uprising happened and was crushed before they could make any real progress. Obih’to feels forever guilty for not being there and having failed to bring the help he’d been sent to get. He hasn’t been able to face Yugiri ever since the refugees came flooding, choosing to avoid her out of pure shame.

Since then, he and his friends have been doing their best to help their broken community who took refuge in Ul'dah. They are often taking on any and all jobs regardless of bore or danger if it gets them money, anything to help fund the community and maybe one day plan a new uprising to take back their lands from the Empire…

Current history

In more recent times, Obih’to -- and later on, his friends -- was recruited by the Midnight’s Envoy Free Company. He was reluctant and wary at first, but he’s been slowly warming up to everyone, including Crooked Rose, their enigmatic leader with whom he didn’t exactly start on the best foot.

He feels a sense of usefulness with them, in addition to tentative companionship and a sense of belonging. One could even argue that this is the happiest he’s been ever since Doma fell. That happiness is tainted with growing worry for everyone as he’s starting to get attached, obscuring the guilt about his homeland.

But little does he know that tragedy is about to strike where he expects it the least.
