About Domitian AlbercoftDomitian Albercoft
New Background:
You were raised by a phoenix You were the child of merchant parent's whose caravan was destroyed by a dragon But before the dragon could eat you the phoenix intervened and drove the dragon off Since the phoenix never ventured near human lands the only choice she had was to raise you herself And since she was a mythic phoenix she could shapeshift into human So you were raised in a cabin deep in the mountains covered with heavy alpine forests There was a village of elves a few days journey away that you and your adoptive mother would travel to for shopping So you grew up playing with the elven children You never understood why but the elves seemed to hold your mother in great reverence and never charged her for whatever she requested, always giving it for free And always the best And the elves always looked at you a little funny because you were growing up at the same rate as their children Despite being a human That was the influence of your mother Her motherly love was so intense that she slowed your aging so you would not be considered an outsider among the other children So you will age like an elf And replace common with elvish as your base language You will have to use a language point to gain common You grew up speaking elvish Now when you came of age and finally started to notice the feminine curves of the some of the female elves you had grown up with, so around 90 or so, the dragon that your mother had driven off returned Only with an entire flight of dragons to destroy her See she was a protector of the entire mountain range and all those who lived in the mountains, driving off all manor of evil beasts with her power since she was a Mythic 10 Phoenix When the dragons unleashed their breath weapons all at once the forest was incinerated in a tsunami of flame They weren't just going to destroy her they wanted to destroy everything she was protecting Keep in mind you had no idea she was a phoenix Only that she provided some kind of tremendous service for the region that all the intelligent races who lived there revered her So as the forest burned around you, you discovered that the flames didn't touch you You had been walking with one female elf that you had been sweet on (your creation) and she was clutching to you as her body began to blacken and fall apart as the dragon fire wiped her village from existence And once her body turned into ashes that swirled away in the up draft from the forest fire all you were left with was a mithril bracelet that you had just given to her At this moment the flames around you were blasted away as if being subjected to a tremendous wind and a colossal sized golden phoenix landed in front of you She spoke to you with your mother's voice and with a shock of realization you knew the phoenix and your mother were one and the same She transformed back into her human form to embrace you and apologize for hiding the truth as the dragons began to close in She kissed you on the forehead and darkness swooped in before peeling back to reveal a rainy sky, your feet set on an unknown road heading towards a human city with adventuring pack at your feet. The only thing you had of your old life was the mithril bracelet that you still held in your hand. That was 10 years ago and in that time you have stayed in Restov to learn about these human lands and worked to earn enough money to support yourself. When you had been teleported to the road your mother was gone You have no idea where those mountains are So 1) You are a human with elvish mannerisms 2) You HATE dragons with every fiber of your being 3) Your mother was a paragon of good Old Sheet:

Old Appearance:
The man standing before you is obviously an experienced traveler; he is outfitted well for it. He wears good quality, but well used, traveling clothes; mostly in shades of green and brown, with a smattering of red thrown in, most clearly in his wide-brimmed hat. He is clearly outfitted for trouble should any arise - he wears a fine chain shirt armor, and strapped to his belt is a large falchion. In or near his hand is his longbow, always at the ready. Physically speaking, the man is imposing, standing at almost six and a half feet tall and built like a tank. He has blond hair, which he keeps cut short, and a well groomed blond beard. His skin appears to have been pale originally, though it has seen significant tanning from his time on the road. There is something off about the proportions of his height, though the way he dresses in somewhat baggy and layered clothing seems to obscure whatever it is. His face has some lines in it, a mixture of worry lines and laugh lines. It is clear he is easy to smile, and easy to frown. He tends to have a very expressive face, and it becomes relatively easy to see what he is feeling.
Old Background:
In order to understand Domitian, you have to understand his mother first. Komana Albercoft was a beautiful woman, both in body and in soul, and yet was humble for all that - she would always credit any comment about her beauty to her ancestor's angels-blood, rather than anything she did herself. This beauty led to her catching the eye of a local noble-born man from the Surtova family. He promised her the world, despite her common birth; the promises kept coming, until she became pregnant, causing him to cast her out. He was unwilling to soil the family name with a marriage to a pregnant commoner. She raised him by herself, making ends meet working as a healer. She had a gift for really drawing out the potential out of any healing source. It was enough to keep them fed, if just barely. As Domitian grew, she taught him everything she knew about healing, and when his size and strength really became apparent, was able to apprentice him out to a local woodsman named Marcian. He learned the bow and the sword from him, as well as how to survive in the wilds and hunt for food. He led Domitian to follow Erastil, and ultimately to give his life to old deadeye. Domitian didn't have much family, but the family he did have he vowed to protect. Domitian grew up feeling great anger towards his father, even though Komana refused to even tell him the man's name. That he would just abandom them to their fates made his blood boil. On the other side of that, though, was Komana's presence, her gentleness and forgiving nature, and Erastil's calming guidance. That was all fine and well, though, until Komana's heart gave out. All those years, pushing herself for her son, sacrificing, they all caught up to her, and Domitian was left alone. Among her things, though, he found an old ring, something she held close to her all these years, something she had never shown her son before - the ring bore the crest of the Surtova family. His father was a Surtovan. Perhaps it was fate, or Old Deadeye, or plain dumb luck, but it was shortly after this that Domitian learned of the quest to retake the stolen lands. Here was a mission that Erastil would need someone on, and it just so happened to have the potential of putting Domitian in direct contact with much of the nobility of Brevoy. Domitian began to study the politics of Brevoy, learning all he could about the intricasies of Brevoy nobility. He was determined to prove himself worthy, despite his bastard bloodline, by going forth and protecting those intending to settle in these new communities. And if Old Deadeye saw fit to allow it, he would find and confront the man who had abandoned them.
