History
Born of a monster named Erketu the Unspeakable, Jebei Dotharl was raised as heir to a notoriously brutal warband. Among his people, he learned loss and cruelty. He learned how to sharpen his hatred into a weapon that could be brought down upon the necks of any he deemed unworthy to share the Azim Steppe.Some would say he claimed his inheritance too early.When Erketu was slain, Jebei grabbed the reins of power in the warband and immediately set about using them to sow chaos and grief throughout whatever territory he felt like. When his destructive campaign brought him to the House of the Crooked Coin.It was here that Jebei found a wayward Hyur with a painted face named Lior Emrys. It was here that the course of Jebei's destiny changed forever. After a pitched battle wherein Jebei slew Lior's Xaela guides and the pair traded practiced arcanima and primitive, untrained magicks, Jebei found himself at the mercy of the Thavnairan.And he let him go.He let him return to his warband, licking his wounds. Whilst they celebrated a victory over the water-dwelling Ejinn, Jebei brooded in his tent.When daylight broke, Jebei found himself naked and soaked in blood. Surrounded by death and destruction. This had been the gift that Lior sent Jebei back to his tribe with. Having slaughtered so many of his own people, Jebei became an exile in his own homeland. A fugitive from the Dotharl. A man with one new and terrible purpose. To destroy the magus who had cursed him.He tracked Lior through the Steppe once again and this time attacked with every ounce of hate and rage he could muster. But it still was not enough. The Hyur defeated him once more and this time, whether out of amusement or sadism, kept the Dotharl as his pet.Jebei was beaten. Tortured. Left in the dark to starve.But he did not break.Perhaps it was this singular quality that lead Lior to eventually call Jebei to Eorzea. To eventually make him a Magister of the Eldritch Collective.CURRENT EVENTSDarkness.
A year in darkness.
While the world above him tried to survive the song of the end, Jebei simply survived. He devoured insects and monsters. He rummaged through the corpses of the fallen who'd entered the haunted halls of old Gelmorra. He fought. And he bled. And he was propelled by one thing alone:"I will return to those I love."Jebei Dotharl had often dreamed of becoming a hero, of transcending his brutal youth and monstrous nature. And he'd actually done it. He'd saved his friends and loved ones from something terrible, only to throw himself into the bowels of Eorzea in the process.But Jebei's willpower knows no equal.After a year, he's managed to drag himself up from the Hells themselves, appropriately frightening a group of neophyte adventurers in the Tam-Tara Deepcroft when he broke through a tomb wall.For all of his struggling, Jebei found the Manse empty and devoid of life. Changed, but unoccupied.Still, he knows his heading. A map on the wall, a mysterious, western continent circled by the prior occupants of the Estate.No rest for the wicked. None.

In-Game Name: Jebei Dotharl

Discord Handle: 47#3049Jobs and SkillsBlue Magic - Jebei is versed in the magic of beasts. He is a relatively self-sufficient Blue Mage and though he does have interactions with the "Guild" as part of his regular duties, he prefers to approach matters of this new, wild magic on his own. He is hesitant to help anyone outside of the Collective learn, but even with his own people he makes sure they are prepared to put in the work for themselves.Gunblades - From a young age, Jebai was trained in the use of greatswords - what his father called "a dominating weapon." With time and growth, however, Jebai has relieved himself of the trappings of his upbringing. The greatsword has been replaced in his repertoire by gunblades. While skilled, Jebai lacks the Gunbreaker soulstone necessary to be considered one of their number.Steppe-Bred - Jebei is a child of the Azim Steppe and has the advantages and disadvantages that such an upbringing conveys. He knows how to deal with wounds on a basic level. Can survive in the wilderness and other harsh climes with little preparation. And he has developed a thick-skin for taking damage. Yes, Jebei is strong. But his real strength lay in the amount of hits he can take without going down.Aether Draining - A skill common among many who can manipulate aether, Jebei is especially adept at stealing the aether of his foes and using it to his advantage. Either through certain Blue Magics, such as Devour or Blood Drain, or through the Gunblade's particular propensity for using stolen aether to charge its cartridges, Jebei does not limit himself to simply wailing on someone until they fall. He may seek to weaken them before finishing the job.The Shadow - Jebei has, since youth, been possessed of a broken mind. His various travails and struggles have essentially separated Jebei's understanding of himself into two halves -- The Self and the Shadow. The Shadow represents Jebei's rage and hatred and animal urges. In recent times, he's learned to contain his effervescent rage and turn it into a useful tool for him to employ against his foes. Should anyone see Jebei in possession of a smoky, red aura? They should give the man a wide berth.RP HooksYou may know Jebei if:
