| Stubborn| Blunt| Passionate| Over-Zealous| Free-Spirited| Social| Reckless| Moral| Lady's Man

Aurek is incredibly stubborn. Whether it's an argument, a fist fight, or a naval battle, he refuses to give up no matter what. This is a blessing and a curse when it comes to his occupation. While he has a great number of successes on his record, they occasionally are brought about by some sort of crazy scheme that most people would never dream of trying. The phrase "over-kill" isn't in his vocabulary.
While it may not be the same as society's Aurek has a strong moral code. Breaking of these unspoken rules (I.e. Pirates) can cause him to completely lose his temper and become reckless as he seeks to bring the person to justice. 
When not on duty, Aurek is a much more relaxed person. He enjoys dancing and music, and is known to throw fantastic parties. He can actually get quite lonely, and will seek out the company of other people, even complete strangers, making him partial to taverns and pubs.
When he meets a beautiful woman (or pretty much any woman who's still breathing), he can be quite the flirt, though usually it's just casual, and he doesn't expect anything in return. He just enjoys flattering people.



History: 
For generations, the Dombrowski family has produced some of the finest military leaders in Koben. The children of the family are trained from an early age in combat and strategy. Aurek Dombrowski is the oldest son of Lord Kasper Dombrowski, a Comander of the Imperial Army. While young Aurek always excelled in his studies, in other aspects, he didn't quite live up to his father's expectations of his first born and heir. He was rash, impulsive, and was never really able to follow the rules of "etiquette". They were exact opposites, and argued almost constantly. Other than this relationship, Aurek's childhood was comfortable and happy. His mother was loving and attentive, and he and his younger sister were close friends.

When Aurek came of age and his training was complete, he had honed his skills and become a rather skilled fighter. His father pressured him to join the Army, but Aurek decided on the Navy instead, partially to spite his father, partially because he wanted to get away from his legacy. A life at sea offered him both of those things. He left their cozy home in Bratkowice for the navy barracks of Linhythe, and never looked back. 

Aurek became a skilled seaman, and eventually rose to the rank of captain, and was given his own ship. One of his main tasks was defending Empire ships from pirate attacks. He found the job thrilling, and was a highly successful "pirate-hunter". Though his methods sometimes bordered on extreme (when the stakes were high), this was usually overlooked because he got the job done. However, he eventually crossed the line. A crew of pirates had been preying on Empire trading ships, stealing their cargo and selling the crew into slavery. They had eluded Aurek and his crew for sometime. They finally found the ship one morning, and engaged in a ferocious battle. As the pirate ship was about to escape, Aurek ordered his crew to ram their ship into the pirates. Despite some protest, they followed his orders, and both ships were destroyed.

When the crew was finally rescued from the water by a passing merchant ship, they were brought back to Linhythe and Aurek had to face the consequences of his actions. While several of his superiors wanted to demote him, his prior record managed to convince them to allow him to keep his rank. He was, however, deemed too unpredictable for the main fleet, and was sent off to a relatively unknown port on the Bratkoven coast to keep him out of trouble.

Aurek returned to his home in disgrace. When he passed through the city of Bratkowice, his father refused to see him, or even let him into his childhood home. 

For 8 years Aurek has lived a quiet, boring life, waiting for his chance to redeem himself.

Group plot:

As the war began, Aurek and his crew were called into action, guarding the Imperial fleet's back during the first battle of Amedra. While the battle was lost, The Tiger and her crew were recognized as useful once again. They served to distract the Mirian Navy when the Empire attacked Amedra yet again, this time meeting with much greater success. Belport was taken, and the thrill of victory became a feeling Aurek would never forget. However, after seeing the enemy more in person, Aurek began to doubt the necessity of the war. If they were the instigators, did that make them the villains?

As the ship returned home, they paused in Song Lu, only to be caught in the crossfire of the Kingdom's first counter attack. The attack was completely unexpected, leaving Aurek and his crew on the only armed ship in the harbor. They fought valiantly, and managed to hold back the Kingdom's ships until their back up was armed. Just as help arrived, however, Aurek was run through by an enemy soldier, and fell.

Luckily for him, the ships healer was mere feet away, and was able to halt the bleeding enough to get him out of the line of fire and into surgery. She had saved his life. During his stay at the hospital, Aurek, while still unconscious, received a surprise visitor. His father had been tasked with leading a contingent of troops to help with the relief effort for Song Lu. He had heard of his estranged son's heroics, and came to see for himself. Seeing Aurek unconscious and fighting for his life greatly moved him, but he did not stay long enough to see his son awake. 

Aurek spent the next several months recovering from his wounds, eventually being sent back to his regular station in the Bratkovan port. The nurses had told him of his father's strange visit, and it deeply confused him. Why now, after all these years? So his father only cared about him when he was on the brink of death? Or had it made him realize that he did care? As confused as Aurek was about this, his feelings on the war became far more clear. This was war, and he would be loyal to his emperor no matter what. It was personal now.

Some months later, Aurek accompanied the Imperial ships to the Emerald Masquerade, and participated in the festivities. His anger and bloodlust were calmed by these interactions, but they remain lurking, waiting for his next chance at battle.

When the Serdar called for the great hunt, Aurek eagerly rushed to his aid. Just as he was about to enter the forest, he was met by Lila, his younger sister. As much as he tried to avoid her, she caught up with him. Aurek was shocked by how friendly and familiar she acted. After all, she had sided with their father in their dispute. Lila insisted that Aurek return to their home with her after the hunt, an invitation which he has yet to accept or decline.

Relationships:
    -Kasper Dombrowski: Aurek's father, an incredibly strict and rigid man and a respected Army officer. They have always had a rocky relationship, and haven't spoken since Aurek was sent back to Bratkowice.
    -Sabina Dombrowski: Aurek's mother. She doted over Aurek as a child. While her husband forbids her to go and visit Aurek, she writes to him often.
    -Lila Dombrowski: Aurek's younger sister. They were very close as children, but grew apart as they got older. She is in the the Koben Army, stationed in Tusa.
    -Rut Oren: His illegitimate daughter, who he has no idea exists.
    - Martin Marienkafer: They met during the battle of Amedra, and chatted about military life and ideology. Aurek grew fond of Martin in the short time they interacted, and sees himself as a mentor/father figure even though that's quite exaggerated. He stayed by Martin's side after he was wounded in an explosion
     -Lentia Renova: After pulling her out of the water during the second battle of Belport, she and Aurek became friends during the long voyage back to Song Lu. He admires her spirit and greatly enjoys her company.
    -Noah Thelrin Noah served on the first ship Aurek was ever assigned to. Since his transfer to the Imperial guard the haven't seen much of each other, but Aurek still holds him in the highest respect and trust after an incident with a sea monster
    -Lucas Schmidt They had a rather awkward encounter in a train station not long ago. Aurek feels a bit sorry and very protective for the young soldier, because of his nervous nature.

RP Preference: Notes and Skype work best for me. I can do Google docs as well, but I'm much slower with those.
