| − | Years before the Doma refugees first appeared in Eorzea, Ume Muto and her husband Juun fled from deep within the eastern valleys of Othard to escape the rising influence of the Garlean Empire invasion. The two managed to escape to the Black Shroud and gradually traveled their way through Thanalan until finally taking up isolated residence along the outer reaches of La Nosea.
| + | [WIP] |
| − | | |
| − | Remaining secluded and hidden in a new, unfamiliar land, both Ume and Juun grew accustomed to practicing and mastering their disciplines of magical arts. While Juun found interest in studying stars and harnessing celestial magic as an Astrologian, Ume had found the ability to call forth and command the latent aether within herself through her own natural talent for destructive magic as a Thaumaturge. Years of practice and research led the two through many trials and curiosities that only fueled their interest for knowledge. Though while Juun kept his eyes upon the stars, Ume began to stray into darker territories of research that had caught her unfortunate obsessive interest; the Void.

| − | Upon learning of the Void and it's inhabitants, Ume set out on her own several times in hopes of carefully obtaining any items that may tell her more of such a place but her resources with the junkmonger's of northern La Noscea only proved so little rewarding whenever they managed to obtain for her a useful tome or scroll. When she managed to return a few times successful, her husband Juun began to catch on to her strange obsession with the Void, warning and pleading with her not to continue but as eager as she was to know more, she refused and continued to return to the junkmonger's in hopes of gaining more.

| − | Weeks passed and Ume had managed to collect a decent amount of tomes and scrolls, even some smaller captured voidscent that she had bartered and sold her precious possessions away for in order just to study them up close. One fateful day, she was forced to return home empty handed but on her way through the Oakwood, Ume was drawn to something off feeling in the distance; a disturbance in the aetherflow. Soon enough, she came across a raided chocobo caravan, it's guards and riders having been slain right along the path. Overflowing with curiousity, Ume immediately choose to investigate. It was not long before she realized she had practically hit the jackpot! Various tomes and scrolls, depicting greater information of the Void and to her unfortunate luck, even a spell scroll giving her a way to open up a rift into the Void itself. Grabbing whatever she could, she quickly made her way back home, eager to test this spell with her own magics just even to get a glimpse of what lay beyond the Void.

| − | Ume returned home, finding it empty. Assuming Juun had gone out for firewood or food, she wasted no time gathering the supplies she needed to preform the ritual spell in an attempt to open the void. Successful in her attempt soon after, Ume was overwhelmed with joy and awe as a rift to the Void opened up in her own home. Though little could be seen of what lie beyond, a sultry voice spoke to Ume. It was grateful for her assistance in opening the rift but asked her for her help to truly be free. The voice offered her something in return, anything her heart desired but before Ume could truly speak a response, the essence of the succubus that spoke to her reached out and took hold of Ume's body, possessing her with ill intent.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ume's body proved fruitful enough, pulsing with enough aether to almost grant the succubus her own form though it was not enough. At that unfortunate moment, Juun returned, entering his home to find his own beloved wife taken hostage by the voidscent she had been drawn to for so long. Unable to react quick enough from the shock of the sight, the succubus turned it's new found sights on Juun and immediately sucked away at his aether, rendering him lifeless in mere moments. It was enough aether to expel her own essence from Ume's body, creating a physical form of her own before turning on Ume who neared the brink of death herself. Still grateful for her help in opening the rift, the succubus spared her and granted her what she had decided was Ume's desire; the become a full fledged Black Mage in order to continue her work with the Void.

| − | Before the succubus took it's leave, it returned a corrupted soul crystal to Ume's body, placing it within her own mind to allow her to draw in countless amounts of aether from the people and world around her.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Days passed before Ume finally awoke from her exhausted slumber though she immediately noticed a change. Everything, her entire body, and the world around her suddenly felt heavy and weighed down. She could hardly open her eyes enough to see, her vision blurred and entire body drowning in aether. She called out for her husband but their was only eerie silence to follow. It did not take long for her to suddenly see a limp form laid out in front of the door, her heart sinking as she realized and remembered just what she had done. She had killed her own husband with her obsession, now cursed with the very ability that took away his life force away. Constant exhaustion followed Ume, unable to control the amount of aether she was now able to draw in, ultimately causing her inability to stay awake for long periods of time. When attempting to expel the aether from her body through casting spells, she only found herself growing hungry and craving more aether for her to devour.

| − | Unable to remedy her new found affliction, Ume was forced to remain in isolation, spending her days trying to find a cure for the succubus curse that had been bestowed upon her. Though her inability to stay awake proved counter productive, only allowing her to read or research for short amounts of time before she fell victim to her slumbers. As time passed, Ume began to grow restless in her sleep. Countless times she fell victim to sleep walking and even at times sleep casting simple spells from her subconscious mind. When she finally woke, she would find herself or the objects around her misplaced, some times traveling so far from her home, she had difficulty finding her way back.
