Summary
The oldest member of Starsong, Dorban is a cat who has known much sorrow in his life. Don't let his silly nickname and kind demeanor distract you; though he attempts to hide it, the scars on his body and the urn in his room are proof enough of the pain he's felt, the regrets he holds, and the burden he carries.
This isn't to say Dorban has been unhappy all his life - Quite the contrary, in fact. Born in Catalena some years ago, Dorban found his calling as a fighter at a young age, all too happy to pounce on even other cats as 'training'. And alongside him was a friend, a agile, lithe white cat named Borble, born on the surface who came to the caves as a kitten. The two even took on rhyming nicknames, funny at they were; Dorb and Borb, the best of friends! They were inseperable, training and playing together all their lives.
Or, rather... all of Borble's life.
To say that Dorban shoulders immense guilt over the events of that day would be selling his grief short. Even years later, he still carries the flaming sword with which he cremated his best friend's body, and still bears the terrible thought that, had he stayed to fight alongside his friend rather than joining the rest of their battalion in evacuating the settlement on the outskirts of the city, things might have been different.
After years of carrying his guilt alone, Dorban has joined Starsong in hopes of scattering his friend's ashes on the surface whose tales he'd loved so much, where the seasons change in more than just a festival... and in hopes that it might finally set his own heart at ease, as well.
Trivia
- Dorban's name, as with the other members of Starsong, comes from that of a member of the Orsterran pantheon - In his case, Dorbam comes from a corruption and anagram of Brand, the Thunderblade, transcribed from Japanese as Burando.
- Dorb actually thought his nickname was extremely silly and rather offputting in his youth, even poking fun at it, despite going by it when around Borb. After his friend's passing, he chose to keep the nickname in his friend's memory.
- He never admitted it before his death, but Dorban's feelings towards Borble grew to be... more than platonic in nature as they reached adulthood. Dorban regrets never telling him almost as much as he does allowing him to sacrifice himself.
- Dorban's birthday was chosen at random through random.org's date generator, and, hilariously, landed on April Fool's Day. Dorban doesn't care for that at all, frankly.
