Character- Idris Bripurusha

Character: Idris Bripurusha

Age: 23

Affiliation: Alondia

Description: Living underneath the hot desert’s sun Idris’ skin is a strong bronze hue. Her hair comes to her shoulders in sharp strands with bangs that cover most of her forehead in the same fashion. A glorious auburn that darkens to a deeper kind of rust and is like fire in the dessert sun marks the tint of her hair. Her eyes are drowning in grassy fields that turn teal in the cloudy days that seem to haunt her, but are never known to her. Her height reaches that of 5’8” and she wears boots which brings her up another inch. Her usual outfit without her white robe to shade her is simple and easy to move in. A gold choker wraps around her neck with a matching gold ring dangling from two thin black strands. Her shirt is a scarlet and tightens at her waist then flourishes out. She wears shorts that come a few inches above the knee and are loose fitting. They are ecru in color and are worn under a skirt of the same color that goes to her ankle on her left leg and comes up to a slit on her opposite leg. The most distinguishable part of her character is a scar that starts at the bottom of her left cheek and extends to her eye only to veer off towards her ear. It is usually covered by the hood of her white robe. There is another scar on her chest which shows the infinity sign or an eight from the angle it was made. The sign is in the middle of a birthmark in the shape of a spider which starts with the head at her chest and then ends at the bottom of her stomach. The legs wrap around her waist as if hugging her and the scar is on the whole of the body which takes up the stomach. In the middle of the scar where the lines connect she was found with a sword piercing her stomach.

Weapons/Abilities: The sword that had pierced her stomach is her weapon of choice. A sword with a length of 50” and a weight of 2lbs 9oz make up this strong steel sword. The sword is neither single-handed nor is it two-handed, but instead it is for half-handed use. It has an inscription on the hilt that is the same as the one on her stomach. Otherwise it is a very simple design with a cruciform cross-guard. The sword gets very narrow at the tip and broadens as it moves down to the hilt. To strengthen and lighten the blade it has a long blood grove that runs along most of the 39” steel blade. The sword had a worn leather grip when she was first found. The sword is also very powerful so if your defense is not made of the same Alondian steel it will surely be broken. With this weapon she has become very strong and sturdy because of its weight. So she has amazing balance, but unfortunately she is not very agile and the sword doesn’t allow for much movement. So any attacks from behind can be deadly. She has the ability to control sand, but only for defensive means. It causes a storm to blind her foe and once it settles she hides underneath the sand. It is also good for covering foot tracks and any evidence that might be at the site it is being used on. Unfortunately it can only cover a distance of 40 ft. in one direction. So it barely covers her back which causes an even better chance for attacks from behind to be critical. Though there is one loophole in this fault. The scar on her chest of the infinity sign is more than just an average mark. When the scar was made a strong spell was cast that numbed her upper body. You can not kill her unless you attack her head, legs, or arms. Even if you run a blade through her stomach she will still be able to stand and fight.

Personality: Idris can’t take a joke or rather she can’t understand them. You could say she has a very dry sense of humor. For example, if you ask her if a cat’s got her tongue she would tell you she doesn’t own a cat. If you try to explain it to her she’ll hit you for insulting her pride. She doesn’t enjoy having to be explained things she finds useless and she hates not knowing what to do in a situation. Her pride usually gets in the way of making alliances with others. Though she is usually quite kind to children, but if they decide to get on her nerves she’ll knock them over the head. She usually hits anyone that gets on her nerves, but she knows better than to underestimate anyone. Another trait is she doesn’t like saying anymore than she has to. So you’ll usually get clipped answers that won’t always make sense, but her curiosity is endless. She loves to learn and contemplate over serious matters. Like how a spell is done or an intricate pivot of the body in a tough situation. Her love for fighting encourages her to learn more about people, but she still isn’t very good at talking with others. One of her hobbies is sewing which her mother taught her. She is also head over heels in love with strawberries which her father brought her as rare treat when she was younger.

Background: She was found lying in the sand after a fierce sandstorm at the age of six. The small Alondian town did routine checks of the area in case there were lost travelers that had wondered in on the sandstorm. A young boy who was only three years older found her. He immediately called his father, an Alondian blacksmith who thought at first she was a bad omen. Lying there in the sand with a 50” sword piercing her stomach and the bloody infinity sign on her white robe made quite a display. Not to mention that she wasn’t buried underneath the sand even after the storm. All thoughts left the both of them when they saw her take a long shaky breath. They carried her home and wrapped her wounds, but the only sign of life was her now steady breathing. She slept for two days and when she woke up didn’t remember anything, except that her name was Idris. The Bripurusha family took her in and let her live with them as part of the family. She slowly opened up to them and adapted to her new surroundings. At the age of seven her father taught her the basics of wielding a sword. From there her brother helped her for three years with the sword she was found with. When she was eleven her brother committed suicide out in a furious sandstorm after attacking her. By then she had been practicing with her magic by herself and was able to follow him and find his body. He was lying there just as she had, but this time there was no breath from his mouth. One year later her father was forced to join the Alondian army. The mother saw him off with her only to be told two years later that he was killed by a traitor in the army. Her mother was the only person left that could take care of her. She told her to always walk with pride and not to grieve, but this pride caused her mother to become bedridden in three years. She became to sick to do anything and Idris was forced to do everything on her own. She was very quiet by then and never said more than she had to, but everyday she would practice with her magic while her mother slept. Seventeen years old and she had already mastered her defense and began improving on her offense with her sword. After six years of faithfully staying by her mother’s side she was told to find her own life. This brings us to the present day of her journey and her beginning in the world of Solace.
