ABOUT
Kokomori was born in Thanalan, growing up in Black Brush Station, though his family was rather nomadic. His mother is a Dunesfolk Lalfell and his father is a Rava Viera, and he inherited his father's keen senses, ears, and teeth, as well as a sensitivity to aether. Despite his keen eyes, he wears glasses due to his farsightedness.Kokomori's assigned gender at birth was female, but his parents had a strong desire for a son. They did not want to have to surrender him to a Vieran village, where his father couldn't see him save for once every 3-5 years when men return. His father spent time training him in the ways of the Wood-Warders, and while they couldn't afford Fantasia, they used salvaged Allagan/Garlean Magitek to make changes early in his life. His Dunesfolk forehead gem somewhat echos the Garlean third eye, and helps to regulate his hormones at further cost to his aetherial sensitivity. This accounts for some of his more feminine traits, namely his softer skin, rounder figure, and so on. In certain cases, when the effects of the magitek is suppressed, his features can trend back towards feminine.Kokomori's parents worked mostly as traders, moving between a variety of settlements. They would often salvage goods from derelict Garlean warships, and found a small living in selling parts and magitek devices. He grew up following the family trade, helping out where he could. He often found the life of a trader dull and uninteresting, and eventually, when old enough, left to follow his own fortune. He was in Ul'dah during the Calamity, and was severely injured towards its close. After recovering, a lot of his memories of the things he did before had left him. He spent the next few years trying to track down his family to see if they were okay. After he left for Ul'dah, they went to Old Sharlayan to seek shelter with the Students of Baldesion, of which Kokomori's mother was a member. He hasn't seen them since, and eventually ran out of funds, using the last of his gil to seek passage back to Ul'dah to start life as an adventurer.Kokomori is extremely friendly, but can be somewhat duplicitous at times, and is not above fighting dirty and using underhand tactics both in a fight and in negotiations. He has a bit of a temper, and is easily embarrassed when flattered or made uncomfortable, and easily rises to anger when he is underestimated. He fills the tank roll in parties for this reason; to prove that despite being so small, he cannot be toppled and will outlast any threat. Kokomori has always aspired to serve a greater role or order, and was drawn to the Paladins of the Sultansworn, but could never find the skill or commitment to join them. Only in his adventures as a warrior of light did he attain enough discipline and skill to be counted among their ranks, and as a Free Paladin, he acquired the majority of his skills from the Ishgardians, who share a stronger oath towards Halone than the Sultana's Guard. He does not believe in oaths or gods, only in his own ability, and this is his source for his Paladin abilities.Kokomori currently lives in an apartment with his free company in Ishgard, and constantly seeks to prove himself as a valuable member of the group, doing just about anything asked of him that doesn't compromise his (rather flexible) morals.
MAIN JOBS
Due to his sensitivity to aether and reduced capacity for magic, Kokomori works mainly as a Free Paladin, serving and training more with the Knights of the Holy See over the Sultansworn.During the Ala Mhigo conflict, Kokomori fell in leauge with the Garlean Lemures, and learned the ways of the Reaper. Having some similarities to a garlean, he adapted to the role quite well, and was a proficient weilder of his Voidsent. This would change during his time in the First, when he was overwhelmed with light-aspected aether. Due to his sensitivity, the countermeasures employed by his allies were not as effective as they should have been. In his despiration, he fed the aether to his Voidsent, as they are almost identical to the Sin Eaters. This prevented the loss of his mind, but not the transformation of his body. As a consequence, his Voidsent is now a Sin Eater, and Kokomori assumes a Light Warden form when he attunes to the Soul Crystal for Reaper.

Charater Timeline
This section is a work in progress! I plan to chart all of the events of Kokomori's adventures on a timeline to illustrate when he met certain people, changed in certain ways, etc. Come back here later!
