【Additional Appearance Info: Dornae stands at 6' and weighs 182 lbs. He does not carry a pistol, but he does wear a backpack, and carry two daggers.

On his person, beneath the mantle draping over his shoulders and upper chest, are twenty throwing daggers. Last is his Blade Catalyst, which is seen in his appearance, at his back.

【Biography: Dornae was born in a small village called Esvin to loving the loving Dervin and Orelha Namari. Three years after his birth his mother's twin sister died, sending Orelha into a spiraling depression, and physical illness to boot. The woman began to ignore him and even when she recovered she was a changed woman. Unable to properly mourn her death because of having to take care of her young, oblivious son, Orelha gradually grew to resent her child. As the years passed, Dornae found himself the object of an escalating cycle of emotional abuse, perpetuated by his mother's misplaced grief. With his father often not home due to work keeping him busy, this continued till Dornae turned seven. That year Dervin finally witnessed first hand the cruelty of his wife as he noticed her continued neglect of their child. Eventually sparking an argument, the couple fought and by the end of it, Dervin decided that something had to be done.

As such, not wanting to leave his wife due to her not being in her right mind, but being unable to take care of his child due to work, Dervin sent Dornae away to live with his Aunt and older Cousin, Lehari and Hannah Vester. Here things changed for Dornae as his aunt treated him like her own offspring, doting on him and slowly pulling out of the shell his own mother had pushed him into. While it took nearly a year, Dornae opened up to them, though he never quite recovered, always seeming somewhat withdrawn around others. As such, Dornae really only had two friends growing up, one was his cousin, and the other was the son of the village hunter, Asther Dekain. While he had essentially no other friends, Asther, Hannah, and Dornae were practically inseperable.

>Dornae has innocent crush on Hannah.
>Grows up, it fades and passes
>Dornae has his first encounter with Mary Olsven. Falls in love, the two court for a few months, but it doesn't go anywhere, eventually tapering off and becoming a close friendship. She was his first kiss.
>Dornae takes turns 15 and takes an interest in history.
>Discovers references to Magical tomes in some of his history books.
>Unknowningly has a chance encounter with Nayen Julaed, meeting her brother in the process.
>With much thought, Dornae decides that, on his 16th birthday he will leave home to visit Nayen's brother Calteri.
>On his 16th birthday, Dornae's father visits to celebrate, as he has every other year since he was 8. Dervin gives Dornae two gifts. The first is his Grandfather's dagger, Imprimere and the second is an Enchanter's tome.
>Dornae bids his family farewell and sets off from home.
>Dornae, as he planned to, travels to Magnolia to visit the remnants of Fairy Tail. He studies his tome on the way there.
>In Magnolia he meets Nayen while doing street magic. The two hit it off. Within weeks a romance blossoms.
>Continuing his studies, Dornae shares his passion with Nayen.
>1 year passes and Nayen's brother teaches him mapmaking as a trade in case the two marry.
>Dornae and Nayen find themselves out at night watching fireworks during the Harvest Festival, now hosted by a different Guild.
>On their way home muggers assault the two, Dornae tries to defend them, but he's no fighter. In the struggle, Nayen strikes her head on the wall of an alley. Dornae gives their assailants anything of value he has. Luckily he was not carrying his tome, backpack, or his grandfather's dagger.
>Dornae carries Nayen to the nearest healer...sadly she is too far gone and dies that night of blood loss and brain hemorrhaging.
>Nayen's brother, in grief, ousts Nayen from their home, telling him if he sees Dornae again, he will pay with his life. Incidentally, the two do not meet again.
>Dornae, similarly in grief, leaves Magnolia, as the place is too strongly tied to Nayen in his mind.
>1 year passes, and Dornae begins his studies of Dark Guilds and Earthland's Underground societies.
>Dornae encounters Emiru, due to delving too deeply in the Underground of Acalypha Town. He narrowly escapes with his life, but as such gains both Emiru, and unknowningly, Garin Bet.
>Dornae flees Acalypha and for 2 years travels almost nonstop. In this time he acquires Othisi and begins more seriously learning Enchantment.
>During his travel he meets, and briefly becomes romantically involved with Calea Swallow. While surely a fierce woman, the two get along fairly well.
>In their travels through Web Valley, Calea and Dornae have a falling out and the two part ways.
>Tired from his constant travel, and emotionally exhausted due to his breakup with Calea, Dornae uses some of the money he's accumulated to rent out a small apartment in a small village located in Web Valley.
>He meets Tessa who tells his fortune, thus leading him to his relationship with Maywether. The woman, while adventurous and caring, after several months, reminds him too much of Nayen. The two break up.
>Dornae, still caring for Mayweather, gives her a way to contact him, and after another several months departs from Web Valley, having stayed there a total of 2 years.
>Within the next 3 years, Dornae meets Natalia and Carsephone. He is romantically with Natalia for half of this time. After his...rough break up with the aggressive woman, he meets and hire Carsephone as his body guard. The two become friends.
>Unknown to Dornae, Natalia's jealousy and hatred for him leads her to joining a Dark Guild to further her motives. This results in her leading Dornae into a trap, which while a failed attempt on his life, succeeds in making Sir Harreth Telvani an enemy.
>Later on, Dornae comes to stay in Crocus where he meets Annis. Their circumstances unique, a romance nonetheless blossoms between the two. Eventually Annis parts ways with him, but the two never broke off their relationship and thus keep contact. Every so often they meet, almost as if drawn together by fate. Dornae has never been more in love. However, due to Annis' interesting disposition, she is equally perplexing, leaving him with a mixture of longing and confusion in his head and heart.
>Still in Crocus, Dornae's now fairly well developed magical talents lead him down the path of searching for a Guild. With the hosting of the Grand Magic Tournament, Dornae decides to search for possible candidate Guilds while attending. This is where his story truly begins.

【Personality: Dornae is a complex man, with a shadow draped over patches of his past. He is passionate and caring, but tends not to readily connect with others, instead keeping them at arm's length without letting them know that he's doing so...at least not bluntly. He has an odd tendency to tongue clicking when he's nervous and while he is selfless enough to offer a blanket to someone cold, or food to someone hungry, he is not so selfless as to sacrifice his life for someone else. He is an odd mixture of pragmatism and idealism, making him somewhat conflicted at times when he sees the need to be realistic and practical, but desperately wishes he could manifest the ideal result in a given situation.

Dornae often feels lost, as if he has not found his place in life. Perhaps this is why he seeks a Guild and, subconsciously, companionship as it is something that he has very little of when it comes down to it. One might wonder why and if they managed to get close to him—this being something of a feat—they would discover a wounded man with a fear of intimacy due to loss and emotional abuse stemming all the way back to his childhood. Incidentally he can seem aloof as he tries to keep himself in check and not make the same mistakes he has in the past. Nonetheless, he is an eloquent, if enigmatic, and hard working man with a strong sense of justice. Unfortunately this is offset by his perfectionistic nature, making him want any situation to end ideally despite knowing logically that such is simply implausible. This tendency of his has made him something of a sentimental creature, causing him to keep small trinkets to help him remember things and people near and dear to him. This is, in essence, his nature.

【Relationships】
【Family】

Grandfather: Leimar Namari(Deceased).
While his grandfather is no longer in this world, the man bequethed his Lacrima dagger as an heirloom, gifting it to him when he was but a babe.

Grandmother: Jainia Namari(Distant).
A woman of advanced age these days, Dornae's grandmother was a mage in her day. Dornae's early memories of the woman include her telling stories of her days as a Guild master. Sadly, with the death of her husband, her health declined greatly and so Dornae is not close with the now sad old woman.

Mother: Orelha Namari(Strained).
Dornae does not remember his mother kindly. They have not spoken or shared correspondance for years. She was not what one would call a good mother when Dornae was growing up.

Father: Dervin Namari(Moderately Close).
While Dornae remembers hating his father growing up, he appreciates him now for sending him to his Aunt and so providing a stable family environment. The two share correspondance via letters quite often.

Aunt(Fraternal): Lehari Vester-Namari(Adoptive Mother).
The mother that Orelha should have been, Dornae's aunt Lehari raised him from the age of 8 onwards. As such the two are almost as close as any mother and son. However, Dornae does not keep regular correspondance with his Aunt, mostly so as not to worry her. So as to not leave her in the dark, he does send her letters every now and then.

Cousin: Hannah Vester(Very Close).
Closer than most siblings, Dornae's cousin is more like a slightly older sister than anything else. The two were inseperable growing up and confided much in one another. While their relationship has been strictly platonic for a long time, Dornae once had a crush on his cousin. Due to familial relation, this of course did not pan out or go anywhere. It was innocent really. Dornae keeps Hannah updated on his life. She'd probably hunt him down otherwise.


【Friends】

Carsephone Vellarka: Monster Hunter(Close).
A woman who he met in a tavern a few times. Carsephone has accompanied him on his travels here and there, the two using one another's skills to take down beasts and help locals—often with Dornae paying her to help him do so. Since the two have crossed paths at least twenty times over the past 5 years they've become pretty friendly. Despite her fairly serious demeanor, Dornae has come to enjoy Carsephone's company greatly, finding her to be an intensely knowledgeable woman and as such an interesting conversation partner—not to mention traveling companion. Carsephone keeps in contact with him by way of a form of telepathic magic that, according to her, she was born with.

Asther Dekain: Village Hunter(Close).
His childhood friend, Asther, these days, is an excellent shot and an even better sparring partner—be it physical or intellectual depends on the night. Having grown up with the now 27 year old Asther has fostered a strong brotherly bond with the hunter. Though their paths have split, Dornae remembers his friend fondly and, when he visits, makes sure to stop by and share stories over dinner.


【Loved Ones】

First Love: Mary Olsven(Friends).
A girl he met in the early years of his adolescence, Mary was his first kiss and while their relationship didn't last terribly long, the two have remained friends even after its end. Dornae sometimes sends her letters when he's feeling nostalgic. The girl is, nowadays, an aspiring artists and singer. He enjoys her art quite a bit as she often sends him copies in her letters.


Ex: Nayen Julaed(Deceased).
Their relationship lasted a bit over a year and unfortunately ended in tragedy. Nayen died due to head trauma during a mugging on their way home after a day at the Harvest festival. Her death is part of what inspired Dornae to become more skilled with his magic. It is also one of the reasons he is hesitant to get close to people.


Ex: Calea Swallow(Distant).
The two had a tumultuous relationship based on their mutual want for company as they traveled and Dornae's need for companionship at the time. It ended as spectacularly as it started and because of that the two are distant now. As such, the two do not maintain contact.


Ex:  Mayweather Cicilian(Hesitant friends).
While the two had a relatively smooth relationship, it turned out that May simply reminded him of his failure with Nayen too much so the two did not work out. This has left Mayweather feeling somewhat insecure, and while Dornae does his best to make her perrish the thought, it has not yet succeeded. The two are in contact, though they live far away from one another.


Ex: Natalia Asteri(Enemy).
Their relationship having ended rather abruptly when Dornae called it off due to Natalia's overbearingly aggressive nature, the woman has since made it her personal mission to hunt him down and make him pay for his perceived slight to her honor. This is turned into a rather dangeorus situation by the fact that Natalia is a mage capable of manipulating the mind—specifically by the use of a form of hypnosis.

It's Complicated: Annis Vhaers(???).
Discussing the complexities of Dornae and Annis' relationship is something that would take too long to do and would additionally give spoilers. Guess you'll have to find out at a later date.


【Enemies】

Emiru Artel: Dark Mage/Criminal.
Having first encountered Emiru when doing research on a particular city's underground, Emiru now hunts him due to his knowing her name and face, which makes him a loose end. The girl, despite being only 8 at the time, was a magical genius capable of assimilating the abilities of living beings and then crafting them, utilizing her energy, into a form of dark familiar. She is considered at least an A rank threat and is wanted for a rather large sum of money. Oddly, despite having killed and maimed a generous amount of people, she is wanted alive. Provided she is still alive, Emiru would now be 18. Dornae only knows her former appearance, not her current one.

Sir Harreth Telvani: Dark Mage/Guild.
A former mageknight of Fiore, Sir Harreth defected from the government and joined a Dark Guild. The man is infamous for his ability to twist and warp anything within a designated 10 meter radius. He additionally possesses a form of fire magic, which requires both magical energy from the caster, and body fluid from the victim. These flames as such have the tendency of pulling all liquids from the human body, the effect seems to be somehow related to Sir Harreth's ability to warp physical structures within a given area. Once again Dornae's studies caused him to come into contact with this SS ranked mage. Having discovered the location of his Guild and learned too much about his magic, Sir Harreth, at the very least, wants Dornae in his custody. Why he doesn't outright want him dead is a mystery to Dornae.

Garin Bet: Underground Broker.
Encountered in the same city as Emiru Artel, Garin Bet is a man with no on the record crimes. However, it is fairly common knowledge that the man is one of the biggest contributers to the blackmarket. It is actually due to Garin that Emiru became involved with Dornae. Dornae is actually not entirely aware of Garin Bet's status as his enemy and as such the man is a particularly dangerous element—especially given that the man's reputation pins him as someone who will do anything to reach his ends.


【Associates】

Tessa: Fortune Teller/Herbalist.
Something of an enigma to Dornae, Tessa is a woman shroaded in mystery. However, she is also a useful business acquaintance as she procures and prepares any manner of herbs and medicines. Whether she is truly an alchemist and creates some of the potions, poultices, and salves that she sells he does not know. Similarly, Dornae has yet been unable to tell as to whether or not Tessa's ability to tell people's fortunes is magical...or just an elaborate ruse. Whatever it is it's complicated.

Graeden and Jaina Vilkr: Blacksmith/Seamstress.
While not someone he visits terribly often, Graeden is someone that Dornae keeps in mind. Reason being that he's the man who crafted his Blade Catalist and Catalyst daggers. If that weren't enough, his wife is the one who sew and mended his clothes many a time.


【Teammates】

Unknown:
Nothing to say yet. Will include team dynamic with each person. Combat dynamic and social as well. Whether or not they are rivals.

【Equipment】
【Weaponry】

Lacrima Heirloom: Imprimere(Engrain).
An heirloom from his late grandfather, this equisite dagger is composed entirely of expertly sculpted lachrima. The dagger easily channels ethernano and, intriguingly enough, regrows if damaged—though this requires ethernano be fed into it for this purpose. Dornae often uses Imprimere to carve sigils due to its ability to channel ethernano and the fact that its cutting power is often sufficient. Dornae carries Imprimere in a simple enchanted sheath—made to be more durable—on his belt at his right hip.

Catalyst Blade: Othisi(Impetus).
A weapon that Dornae had specially forged for the express purpose of being a magical catalyst, Othisi is designed first for magic, and second for defense. Like most magical catalysts, Othisi is tuned to its user's magical energy, making it useable only by its owner. The weapon is designed to channel ethernano through itself, wherein the magical energy is focused with little effort of the mage. Then, via any number of runes inscribed upon it, the mage moves it in various patterns, often whilst humming or singing, thus activating various runes, which in turn code magical effects into the ethernano within. At the caster's will the spell, or spells, can be released from Othisi. It should be noted that while Othisi is incredibly durable due to the enchantments on its form, it is much lighter than it looks due to it being mostly hollow. Othisi is kept in its scabbard at his back. Its scabbard is designed to repel magical energy on all of its surfaces.

Throwing Knives: Catalyst Daggers.
There initially appears to be nothing special about these knives, that is until you discover the small lacrima hidden within and note that they too are designed to be magical catalysts. As such, Dornae can store simple spells within the lacrima and have them release in a variety of ways with the daggers acting as catalysts. These small knives can also be utilized to anchor area of effect magic. He keeps these throwing knives in various places hidden in specialized pockets on the inner portion of his mantle and duster. He carries 20 of them.


【Armor】

Enchanted gloves: Tuitio(Defense).
Seen in his main appearance picture, these leather gloves and bracers are enchanted to be resistant to cutting. They do not help with blocking blunt force attacks.

Leather Armor:
Like all of his clothes, Dornae's leather armor is enchanted to be far less likely to succumb to wear and tear in addition to not restrict movement. This does not make his armor much more capable of defending him, though it does make it more comfortable!

Mantle: Solatium(Comfort).
The small mantle that goes over his shoulder and upper chest, being the layer above his duster, is not all that useful practically speaking. However, Dornae is not your typical individual and as such has enchanted this mantle to regulate his temperature. While this does not defend him from being incinerated by a fireball, it does mean that he is considerably more comfortable in both cold and hot climates. Solatium is possesses an enchantment, which lightens his load so that he can always move quickly and efficiently. This effect does not apply to anything he is trying to lift, only things he is carrying or wielding. Dornae sometimes calls his mantle “a traveler's best friend,” as he has made several and sold them to eager clients.


【Tools】

Woodcarving Knives:
Used for his wood carving...obviously. He keeps this knife in his pack unless he needs it.

Enchanter's Knife:
Used for carving runes into things so as to enchant them. He uses this when he's not using Imprimere. He keeps this knife in a specialized pocket-sheath located on his backpack.

Hunting Knife:
Used for cutting up meat if he goes hunting whilst traveling. Located on the back of his belt, and within its small leather sheath oriented horizontally, handle pointed to his left.


【Miscellaneous】

Smoke Bomb:
Fairly self explanatory, these are small pellets containing magically condensed smoke. They are made of a highly flammable material, which reacts with a sparking mechanism when impacting something.

Caltrops:
Small items used to impede movement, Dornae keeps about 100 of these in his pack.

Backpack:
This carries his waterskin hanging from one side, his Enchanter's Knife, any provisions he picks up, and other miscellaneous items.

【Mundane】
【Physical Skill】


Singing: Inborn.
Having been sired from two decent singers, Dornae is fairly good at it himself. However, he is not so good that he'd draw massive crowds or seranade others with his voice.

Dancing: Learned.
Due to enjoying movement and wanting to develop his physical coordination, Dornae has made an effort to learn this skill. It has taken him awhile, but it has improved his coordination and body control considerably.

Swordplay: Learned.
Having picked this skill up over the years due to his magic's necessity for a catalyst and his own need for defense, Dornae has developed the ability to wield a sword in a purely defensive fashion. As such he is capable of parries, counters, dodges, and blocks in particular. While he understand the balance of his chosen weapon well enough to swing it properly, he tends not to do so unless there is a significant opening, or it relates to the use of his magic.

Efficient Movement: Learned.
Due to having studied dancing and swordplay, not to mention his tendency to get in trouble, Dornae has developed very efficient movement. This allows him to quickly traverse environments similar to free running and parkour. It also means his maneuvers in combat don't waste as much energy.


【Mental Skill】


Persuasion and Diplomacy: Inborn/Self Taught.
Dornae has always had something of a magnetic personality and while it was partially stunted during his childhood, it has grown greatly since then. As such, and likely due to his tendency to gather knowledge where he goes, Dornae has learned very well how to persuage people and additionally is very able when it comes to problem solving in groups. Nonetheless, it should be known that Dornae does not like conflict so he tries not to solve the social problems of others too much as it stresses him out and often makes him feel rather uncomfortable.

Abstract Thought: Inborn.
Dornae has always been prone to abstract thought. This allows him to be quite unconventional in both how he thinks and how he fights. It is certainly a large contributer to his ability to solve problems efficiently, even if not in the most straightforwards manner.

Empathy: Inborn.
Due in part to his personality type, in part because of his intelligence, and also due to his life experiences, Dornae is very good at understanding and sometimes even emulating the emotions of others. He's been through a lot and so he finds it easier to cut through people's facades and see their true self. Oh yeah, and don't try to lie to him, he's probably going to notice.

Bartering: Self-Taught.
Due to having sold wares many times to sustain himself while traveling, Dornae has become skilled at haggling and generally gaining or acquiring things via currency and conversation.


【Trade Skill】


Locksmithing: Taught.
Simple enough, this skill allows Dornae to construct, take apart, or pick locks with expert ease. He picked up this skill from his mischievous cousin and some other...more shady individuals.

Street Magic: Taught.
Not to be confused with real magic utilizing ethernano, Street Magic is all slight of hand, illusion and deception. Dornae learned this as a way of making a bit of coin on top of some of his other skills. It has also increased his dexterity and attention to detail, allowing for some other less orthodox use of the talent.

Woodcarving: Self-taught.
While he is not at all great at carving, he is good enough to make at least rudimentary animals or people. However, he is not skilled enough at details. It takes him immense amount of time to get details right...and typically more than one try.

Mapmaking: Self-taught.
Due to his two year forray into this field, Dornae is a decently skilled cartographer. This also means that he has some skill in sketching.

Artistry: Self-taught.
Dornae is, while not an amazing artist, fairly skilled in the basic principles of painting and sketching. This is something he picked up over a long period of time as both a hobby and a helpful addition to his Cartographic skills—not to mention self expression.

【Magical】
【Enchantment】

A form of magic often misunderstood, Enchantment is split into several formats, namely Alteration and Substantiation. While Enchantment is something that is easily learned by anyone with magical competance it is not something easily mastered by just anyone. The reason for this is simple, Enchantment's basic application only requires knowledge of runes, which act as a form of coding for ethernano. As long as one can write runes properly and then fuel, or charge them, with magical energy they can enchant an object. However, this is where the common practitioner deviates from the master. While the basics of enchantment only require ethernano for power and runes for purpose, advanced enchantment requires polyphony and an incredible grasp of magical processes.

In layman's terms, Advanced Enchantment uses symbols in the form of runes, sound in the form of song, and ethernano as power and control. Additionally, it should be made known that while the material that runes are inscribed upon usually does not influence the quality of an enchantment, it can. Lacrima, biological forms--dead or alive-- and metals tend to be ideal enchanting materials. Partially hollow structures also assist with the channeling of ethernano and thus make enchantments stronger.

The two aforementioned forms of Enchantment are defined as follows:

Alteration:
Often considered the simpler of the two forms of Enchantment, Alteration deals with the imbuing of magical effects into typically non-magical things. As such, Alteration cannot be utilized on the body by any known means. Alteration does not truly alter the material it is applied to, but instead uses magical energy from the wearer's body to fuel its effects. As such only incredibly intricate Enchantments of this type function without a wielder, and such are exceptionally rare. Advanced Alteration Enchantment requires that the wearer of the Enchanted object be capable of polyphony, which is also known as "resonance". This is the act of not just fueling the runes with magical energy, but attuning that magical energy to the runes by moving the ethernano at the proper frequency and speed. Doing so enhances the effects of the runes greatly, but unless the inscribed runes are designed to handle this process, they will eventually wear out and cease to function. This is due to the fact that runes effectively inscribe magical "pathways," inside of an object. The arrangement and form of these pathways causes ethernano channeled through them to take on certain effects. When polyphony is used in tangent with pathways that are not designed to handle significant stress, the pathways are worn down and lose the proper structure to alter the ethernano's nature. However, since these pathways are not destroyed, they can still channel raw mana, allowing a broken enchanted object to leak or shoot magical energy once it is sufficiently damaged.

Substantiation:
While Alteration deals with imprinting pathways onto something so as to enchant it, Substantiation has to do with actually altering the thing itself, be it temporarily or permanently. Enchanted objects that were created through Substantiation are also more likely to be capable of functioning even without a wielder. Essentially, Substantiation works by way of the Enchanter channeling ethernano into something and then storing it within that thing. The use of polyphony is essential, but even more important is the mage's understanding of how ethernano behaves. The more advanced the mage's knowledge of this, and the better they are able to move and shape it dictate how advanced their enchantments are capable of being. While Alteration imprints magical effects onto something, Substantiation creates magical properties inside of something. This means that things altered by Substantiation become inherently magical in nature. However, unless the mage is a Master Enchanter it is unlikely that they will be capable of making what one would call an Artefact. Essentially an Artefact is something that has been enchanted by Substantiation, which exerts its magical effects regardless of a wielder and without being activated intentionally. Due to the sheer skill required to make such an item, Artefacts are fairly rare.


Beyond these forms of Enchantment is a sub-type known as "Catalyst Magic." This form of magic is one, which requires a mage to acquire or craft an item. This item is known simply as a "Catalyst," and partially automates the Enchanting process. Nonetheless, the wielder is required to supply these enchantments, which are used much like spells, with ethernano for them to work. In fact, Catalyst Magic, while useful in combat, is much less efficient than a permanently enchanted item due to the Catalyst only creating temporary "pathways". This tends to make the pathways unstable, thus requiring additional use of polyphony to stabilize and strengthen their magic. As such, Catalyst magic utilizes polyphony, a rune engraved "Catalyst," and the user's own ability to manipulate ethernano to produce various effects. Some Catalyst mages engrave their Catalysts with specific runes, limiting the scope and/or amount of enchantments they can place in exchange for greater stability and power in their spells. Dornae is not one of these individuals.

Note: The faster a Catalyst mage creates their enchantment, the weaker or more unstable it tends to be. However, the more skilled they are, the less this weakness applies.
