Dohalim il Qaras

Dohalim il Qaras is the tritagonist of the 2021 role-playing video game, Tales of Arise.

History[]

In the beginning, Dohalim was a mere member of the high-ranking house il Qaras in Lenegis. He and his friends Tarnigen and Avakhir were violinists who played in the middle of the Civilian Park Zone. He eventually met Fahria, a commoner whose skills were unmatched, and introduced her to the circle. From then on, the only thing that mattered was the song to play. Eventually, Fahria and Tarnigen even became engaged. Dohalim never desired to be a lord. However, he was required to compete for the Crown Contest. Seven years prior to the beginning of the game, he and Tarnigen became fierce competitors for the position. When he inevitably was forced to fight Tarnigen, the later resorted to dirty tactics to even the playing field, wanting to bring Fahria to the highest ranks in Renan society. Dohalim begged Tarnigen to stop, but he would not listen. In the end, Dohalim ended up killing Tarnigen. Distraught, Fahria swore that she would never forgive him.

With the deed done, Dohalim was dubbed the Lord of Elde Menencia. However, once he arrived the trauma from Lenegis proved to be more than Dohalim could bear. Whenever he saw a Dahnan slave cry or hear their screams, he would be reminded of that awful event. Unable to handle it, Dohalim's first act as lord was to abolish Dahnan slavery and establish equality between the Dahnan and Renan races.

Appearance[]

Dohalim has curly red hair, brown eyes, and dark skin. He wears a white, brown, and blue attire with a brown and blue cape over his left shoulder. Dohalim dons a bronze neck-armor and armguards as well as blue crystal earrings and several rings on his left hand. His look is completed with white boots with bronze feet and a bronze eagle on his chest.

Personality[]

Unlike all other Renan Lords, who are cruel and power-hungry, Dohalim is the only one among the five who makes an effort to improve the livelihoods of his people, whether they be Renans or Dahnans. However, there are hidden depths in his goals. Dohalim admits his ideals of bringing peaceful co-existence between Renans and Dahnans were mostly him just trying to avoid being reminded of what he had to do to become a Lord, rather than any kindness on his part, meaning he doesn't have much interest in long-term planning to keep his utopia going, or the courage and willpower to psychologically handle a serious crisis. This is the revelation that breaks Kisara, his most loyal ally. Eventually, the support from the rest of the party convinces Dohalim to truly act on and promote the ideals he worked towards in full earnest. Kisara forgives Dohalim for his shortcomings and giving him the chance to redeem himself, as her respect and admiration for him gradually returns as she witnesses his newfound resolve and dedication to make Renan and Dahnan co-existence a reality.

Abilities[]

Dohalim is a master of rod-based artes and astral artes. His style is a flexible one that lets him attack with flurries of wide-reaching blows up close, or use artes to attack and heal from afar, letting him adapt to any situation. Dohalim's fighting style focuses on spinning it at various angles. Because of his Renan blood, he is able to manipulate his weapon to function at times like a boomerang, but also expel astral energy from it. Like Judith from Tales of Vesperia and Leia Rolando from Tales of Xillia, he is fairly adept at aerial combat as well. As a Renan, his martial and arcane artes have Latin- and Italian-based names, but that aspect is lost in the localization.
