History

Tomasu Kusakiri is a refugee of Doma, brought across by the ships leaving that area after the Garlean desecration of their homeland. Born in Doma, the man grew up with a loving family who's fate escapes him to this day.

Growing up, he was like much other children and an active if inquisitive life that lead him to learning the ways of the sword and spear under his parents to help him better face the dangers of the world. Despite their attempts to discipline him, none of the lessons really took root at that early stage of his life. He seemed more wild than anything with his skills, and often could be found playing in the woods around his home village.

Once he reached roughly his teenage years, Tomasu was still pretty wild. Still working in the woods with other youths to hunt, track, and otherwise make a living. He would help as much as he could around the house while his father or mother were away at their small merchant stand or playing security for other merchants.
During his teenage years, the Garlean destruction of Doma happened. One of the refugees, Tomasu was separated from his family. Forced aboard a ship despite being armed, he sought to help out the other refugees as much as he could while doing his best to not break down. It wasn't until the ship landed and he heard of their move to Mor Dhona that he decided to help by striking out on his own.

It took many months and a couple of encounters with Garlean scout squads from near Mor Dhona before he struck out on his own. By then, he had decided his vengeance was at least mostly satisfied and decided to do something that he would rather have done with his parents' leave, wherever they were now. Explore the world and find some place for him to call home.

It was this exploring that lead him to Gridania and attempting to settle there. Staying in Quarrymill, he went through the judgement of the Elementals and was found acceptable. The oddity of being judged by the Elementals sits with him to this day and he respects the Twelveswood for it being as close to the Doman's religion as it may come to be in Eorzea. Wandering the forests, he frequently wanted to Limisa Lominsa, Mor Dhona, and Ul'dah via airship or aethyrite to ask for news on his parents and still does so to this day. He has settled into the wandering life and enjoys it despite one day dreaming of finding a home for himself somewhere in Eorzea, if not one day returning to Doma or Ala Mhigo to help against the occupation there.

Personality

Kind hearted usually, but desiring to stay a bit aloof. Tomasu has been shown to love the wilderness and enjoy the sights as he travels the cities of Eorzea. He never seems to stay in one place for long and often is seen to have a wandering about him that takes him wherever the wind tends to blow. If the elementals are mentioned, Tomasu often goes quiet and anyone can see the far off look that he gets when he does so. It is his drive to help others that he meets who obviously need the help that is endearing to him usually. Whether it be a beggar on the streets looking to get back on their feet or the caravan that needs an extra guard, it is not often that he doesn't volunteer for some work here and there.

The chief thing that stands out is that he often can be found facing the wind and having a smile on his face. No one is sure why this is, but it is often noted that he will try to get the best view he can for sunsets or to simply feel the breeze on his face. He also has a distinct smiling look whenever he is collecting herbs, helping to tend a garden, or in conversation with his few friends.

The last thing that most can tell is that he detests Garleans, Primals, and things that generally make people not able to live their lives as they earned it. This treads a fine line between right and wrong, especially in cities which is probably why he tends to wander so much. He has yet to encounter Garlean troops, but is assumed that if that happens then things will not end well for him or the Garleans.

Other Notes

NOTE: I will, as a person, roleplay in mature and/or violence, but draw the line at permanent character death. Likewise, I draw the line at anything that obviously wouldn't be fine in modern society.
