x. Past

Kamome was born in a rural fishing village three years after the establishment of Garlean rule in Doma. Rugged beauty and the peaceful sound of waves surrounded her childhood home. In this idyllic place, her only fears were of dark-armored soldiers who would come to the docks every moon.

Her family ran a small but lucrative shipping company in cooperation with the town's fishermen. The company, and thus the village, thrived under Imperial rule by capitalizing on Garlemald's need to supply its occupying forces. Prosperity reigned and Garlemald's rule seemed a blessing to the once-impoverished villagers. During this tranquil time, Kamome trained with her father, a navigator and academic who had not lived his entire life in their humble country settlement. He scientifically studied the currents of both sea and wind as an Eorzean skywatcher observes the coming and going of storms and sunshine. Through this education, young Kamome developed a early sensitivity to the subtleties of the aether around her.

As she came of age, whispers began to spread of Imperial oppression and persecution of the Doman people. Soon after these rumors began, Kamome's parents covertly lent their aid to Doman smugglers, offering use their little-known village as a port of supply. Working as double agents, the company quietly sabotaged Garlean supply runs under the masterful tactics of Kamome's mother, Suzume Greywing. Words of support for outright rebellion became common on the docks.

The Doman Uprising erupted shortly after Kamome's fifteenth nameday. Contrary to her parents' illusions of loyalty and honor, smugglers captured by the Garleans immediately revealed the treason their village had committed against the Empire.

x. Relationships

[NPC] Suzume Greywing - Kamome's mother, killed in the Doman Rebellion of 1577. She was a brilliant financial and strategic mind; the village's success was a direct result of her encouraging the fishermen and women to initially work with the Garleans. She convinced them to allow her family to adapt their small boats in to trading vessels that would bring the villagers wealth. Kamome admired and respected Suzume beyond anyone else, as did the villagers. She will never forget the sight of her mother standing defiant before the Garlean soldiers as they entered the village gates. She was the first in the village to be murdered.

[NPC] Fukurou Greywing - Kamome's father, killed in the Doman Rebellion of 1577. Fukurou was the most educated man in the small seaside village where Kamome grew up. He studied the nature and use of "chi" and applied his knowledge to their business: understanding the currents of the sea and wind proved an invaluable asset. Kamome learned much from him, as he was always eager to share with her his studies and secrets. She remembers him fondly as a kind and gentle man, but feels some anger when she recalls his execution by the Garleans without resistance or an attempt to save her siblings. Why did he not fight back?

[NPC] Gachou Greywing - Kamome's younger brother, killed in the Doman Rebellion of 1577. He was thirteen years old, and a promising young sailor and carpenter. From a very young age, Gachou was eager to help the fishermen build and repair their boats. He spent most days on the beach with the other children of the village, trying to cobble together a raft that could make it past the breaking waves. Kamome does not know what became of him during the massacre of her village, only that he was playing by the docks earlier that day.

[NPC] Shigi Greywing - Kamome's younger sister, killed in the Doman Rebellion of 1577. She was barely ten years old and loved nothing more than to chase flocks of seabirds along the shore. The Garleans did not spare her when she ran to her mother's wounded side.

[PC] Marcus Steelsong - A Highlander man central to Kamome's abandonment of her homeland. Her hatred towards him is stronger than the fiercest of maelstroms. Nymeia has seemingly disregarded this rage she harbors: Kamome now owes her very life to him and bound to his protection by circumstance. However, fickle as fate would be, he has recently disappeared from Limsa Lominsa, seemingly granting her wish. What will become of this man?
