OC Sunday: Mic Dhorhil, the grumpiest bartender on Coruscant

A jaded Devaronian bartender with a complicated relationship to the Pyke syndicate. He absolutely judges your drink order. Don’t be fooled by his sardonic and guarded exterior: he might keep a slugthrower behind the bar (just in case), but he feeds the stray tooka who lives in the alley behind 79’s every night after he closes.

The face of a man who just had to clean up the used condoms from the floor of the refreshers at 79's. He is begging people, for the love of the Force, to use the trash compactor. Art by me 🩵

More info below the cut! Content warning for non-descriptive violence.

Personal history: 

Mic was born and raised on Oba Diah, the son of single mom Branna Dhorhil. He never met his father, and Branna never talked about him. When Mic started secondary school, he met Draig, the young Zabrak who would become his lifelong best friend. Draig was small for his age, and he had lost his mother very suddenly only a few months before. Because of this, an older bully made the mistake of thinking he would be an easy target. Unfortunately for the bully, Mic was not small for his age. He stepped in and kicked the bully’s ass, with the result that both Mic and Draig were suspended.

Draig was distraught at the prospect of having to tell his father, Oisin, what had happened, when Oisin was already dealing with so much following the death of his wife. Branna was working the night shift at the time, so she was home. She recognized Draig immediately, as she worked with Oisin at the Oba Diah spaceport. She patched up the boys and got them a snack, then commed Oisin to explain what had happened. Oisin came to collect Draig, and they both stayed for dinner.

From that point on, the boys were inseparable, and the Dhorhil house was basically Draig’s second home. They formed a short-lived punk band, The Horny Devils, which played shows in Oisin’s garage once a week for their legions of adoring fan (it was Branna. Branna was their legions of adoring fan).

When Mic and Draig were in their second year of secondary school, Oisin collapsed at work. He was diagnosed with an aggressive illness, and the treatment was prohibitively expensive due to the Pyke syndicate’s monopoly on all medical goods and supplies on Oba Diah. The boys, being enterprising teens with endless self-confidence and very little impulse control, hatched a plan to break into the Pyke compound and steal the medication.

It did not go well.

They made it out, barely. They managed to get the medication and take it to Oisin, but unfortunately, they also got caught on security holovids. The Pykes, being the Pykes, didn’t take too kindly to being robbed by a couple of punk kids, and they put a bounty on both boys. The first hunter that found them cornered them in the Dhorhils’ home. Draig lost an eye to the hunter’s vibroblade before Branna managed to disarm and kill the bounty hunter with his own knife. 

They fled Oba Diah that night. Branna smuggled Oisin and the boys into the Oba Diah spaceport and stole a shuttle, then took them all to Coruscant to disappear and start over in the lower levels. Branna never told Oisin or the boys what she did to smooth things over with the Pykes, but eventually, the bounty was lifted. Nevertheless, Mic and Draig continued to give the Pykes a wide berth.

Mic started working as a busboy to help Branna while they struggled financially. Eventually, he worked his way up to become a bartender, crafting cocktails in some of the hottest bars in the upper levels. He dreamed of starting his own traditional Devaronian pub, and to help save money for that goal, he started working the closing shift at 79’s every night after he finished up at his regular job. Eventually, he scraped together the funds to start his own place in the Entertainment District, but he continued to work the closing shift at 79’s to make ends meet. 

Personality:

In the dictionary, next to the definition of “done,” you will find the above holo of Mic. That being said, he has a spectacularly long fuse. He doesn’t tolerate harassment or bullies, and the fastest way to find out what he looks like when he’s annoyed is to fuck with his customers, coworkers, or family (and he includes Oisin and Draig in that category). He’s reserved and quiet, but he has a wicked sense of humor, if you’re lucky enough to be able to overhear his commentary. 

He has Opinions™ about certain drinks, and he might not say them out loud, but you can feel the judgment if you come in and order a Green Zygerrian (like he just keeps green cream on hand, what the kriff do you think this is, a dairy?).

Aside from his family, Mic tends to hold people at a distance. It takes a long time to gain his trust, and even longer for him to feel truly comfortable around someone. Having witnessed how his father’s absence impacted Branna, Mic is very, very guarded about romance. He needs to get to know someone very well and form a strong connection with them before he’ll consider getting physical. But once he’s in? He’s all in. No games, no messing around: he knows what he wants, and he’ll be very upfront about it. He just needs to be sure his prospective partner is on the same page before he lets himself get involved.

Due to his personal history with the crime syndicates (not to mention his family’s nebulous respect for the law), Mic has an innate distrust of authority in general and the police in particular. He keeps a low profile, but when the Corrie Guard comes to 79’s, he’s on full alert. Oddly enough, Commander Fox is one of his favorite customers. Maybe he feels a deep spiritual connection to the Marshal Commander’s exhausted ori’vod energy.

𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒. lord erich greyjoy, 52, father, d. three years. lady esgred greyjoy nee TBA, 55, mother.  𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒. lord theron greyjoy, 21, brother, d. thirteen years. 𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐔𝐄. oop. 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑. queen _____ greyjoy, 38+, cousin. lord daemon greyjoy, 31, cousin. lady _____ greyjoy, 31+, cousin. lord _____ greyjoy, 28, cousin.

𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐑𝐁.

in the true exaggerated art of bards and skalds, it is often said that iron islands were buffeted by a fierce and terrible, once in a generation storm the night thain greyjoy was ushered into this world. that even the ancient castle of pyke trembled and groaned with dismay at such an onslaught that heralded the boy's arrival. in truth, as the maesters can attest, the midsummer's sky was as clear and as warm as the summer sea, but that hardly makes for an auspicious start to a tale.

much like the fictional storm that people attest to him, however, thain proved to be something of a tempestuous youth during his early years. brash as he was charismatic, reckless as he was bold, the young lordling proved to be a stark contrast to his more dour and serious brother, theron. frequently famed for the altogether ill-advised misadventures and the occasional misdeed that would invariably get out of hand despite his best attempts to the contrary. whilst quick to anger, even as a snotling his charm was such that many were quick to forgive and overlook such outbursts.

and his late brother hated him for it. while loved by their lord father, theron nevertheless was a monster to both thain and his younger cpisoms. a rapacious sociopath that enjoyed tormenting those he saw as stealing the attention and love from him that he believed he rightly deserved. due to their closeness in age, thain often received the brunt of his brother's attention, earning more than a few bruises and scars as a result. unsurprisingly, theron's untimely and not at all suspicious death during a raid was a welcome outcome, even if it shattered their father's tenuous grasp on sanity.

the treatment he received at his brother's hands and the uncaring disinterest from their father shaped him in more ways than one. it hardened him to the world, made him more jaded and cynical. it also instilled a deepseated desire to become a dominant power, one that people could not simply ignore or abuse for their own gain, but one that could carve out their own destiny free. it is a desire that has driven him across countless raids, skirmishes and battlefields in search of wealthy, glory and acclaim, all stepping stones towards his true aim. independence.

more tba after plotting... !

𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒.

A fearsome sea captain and pirate, thain earned the moniker 'redhand' in a rather brutal and bloody fashion.

personally captains the dark tide, though has multiple vessels sworn to his name.

is a terrible horse rider.
