Domri Blackblade is a freelance mercenary born in the once great city-state of Ala Mhigo. He bears a great passion to someday return to Gyr Abania and take back his home from the Garleans. For now, however, he can most often be found in areas where job boards are typically posted. Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa are his expressed preferences in locations to get work, though whether that is due to location or simply general opportunity availability is not clear. When he is not on a job, he can be found socializing around the towns. Despite the fact that his usual attire of armor and axe can be seen as a little intimidating, Domri is generally known to be an extremely friendly individual.

Character

● History

---

Domri was born in Ala Mhigo to parents Ral and Vela Blackblade and was one of three children. He had an elder brother, Adun, and was a twin to his sister Elyse. His father Ral was a monk in the city-state's military and instilled a passion for strength and training in all of his children. His mother gave up her career to raise her children full time, but she, too, was known in the military as being quite the formidable opponent. Both of them raised their children to value independence and perseverance, and were very strict, but loving individuals.

Domri looked up to his elder brother, Adun, the most of anyone. Five years his senior, Adun was the definition of star child and was Ral's protégé. He took his combat training very seriously and picked it up at a speed that was well past many of his age group. When he enlisted in the military, Adun graduated his training in the top three. Growing up, there was no one on the level of Adun in Domri's eyes. The brothers were close, ad a lot of what Domri knows today is owed to his eldest sibling.

His sister, Elyse, was his best friend in everything. The two came into the world together and spent a lot of their time in the other's company. There were never any secrets between the two, and Domri had a trust for her that was unsurpassed. Elyse was different from her brothers in that she did not quite share the same passion for physical superiority. Instead, she found her greatest interest in various magics and devoted her life to learning and mastering them. Quite a few times she would use her twin to practice spells to mess with him.

After the fall of Ala Mhigo, only Domri, his mother, and his sister managed to escape. Ral was stubborn and refused to leave, insisting they could take back the city only from the inside. Adun, like many of the Ala Mhigoise military, was slaughtered by the Garleans during the war and his loss left a very dark mark on Domri. For around a decade, he and his sister took up mercenary work to care for their mother whose health began to sharply decline since the day they fled.

Eventually, Domri allied with the Twin Adders, inspired at the time by the Elder Seedseer and her passion for the Eorzean Alliance. However, during the battle in Cartaneau Flats against the VIIth Legion of the Garlean Imperial Army, Domri was one of the soldiers transported five years into the future. He has not since seen or heard from his family and has no idea if any of them even live.

● Appearance

---

Standing at a height of 6 fulms, 5 ilms, Domri is on the taller end of Highlanders and is very built due to years and years of strenuous physical training. His hair is dark brown and is usually left short an shaggy. It's clear that he is not extremely well acquainted with a comb and can frequently be seen substituting his hands for one. His eyes are a deep blue and are most of shaded by the uneven bangs that cover his forehead. Perhaps the only thing that seems mildly groomed about him is his beard which he keeps at a short length and styled.

Domri bears many scars, and two that are always apparent due to their location. Across his right eye and on the left corner of his mouth are two slashing scars he gained in his many years of freelancing. Both, like every scar he has, bear a story from some chapter in his life. Less apparent due to his clothing habits are his many other marks that span all over his hulking frame.

He can generally be found sporting his armor as he tries to be prepared to take up a new job on a moment's notice. Also, working freelance, first appearances are generally a very important aspect. He knows he needs to look formidable in order to more likely be hired outside of a job listing. However, there are times he can be found wearing normal clothes, though they are much more rare an occasion. His fashion isn't very complex. A shirt, pants, and boots are generally the full thought process he goes through to achieve basic dress.

● Behaviour

---

In general, Domri is a pretty social individual who isn't afraid to approach and meet new people. He tends to be very outgoing and enjoys a good conversation as much as anything. While he can be found frequenting taverns every so often, when things get too noisy he tends to withdraw a bit. Too much conversation happening around his tends to be trying, so he generally tries to keep to smaller groups. For the post part, he can be extremely friendly to most people who talk to him. He enjoys sharing things about himself as well as learning about the quirks and stories of those around him. Asking him to tell of one of his adventures is probably one of his favorite interactions.
He holds a special place for men and women from Ala Mhigo and those who knew it when it was great. While he knows not many share his same desire to return home one day, he does love talking about it and sharing his memories of his life there. After all, that's the only way he can keep it living on. His memories serve him as a sort of homage to the people he knew and loved growing up and he wants to spread them to everyone he knows so they may always have a place in the world.
