Rank: Ambassador
Character:
Name: Hyphural Redfield –(Hi-feur-ule)
Age: 44 —(Ageless – Though he has, within his own abilities, halted his aging at 44)
Gender: Male
Race: Ifriti (Jinn):
The Ifriti are the second most powerful form of Jinn. Jinn are, in
essence, a half breed of human and demon. Hyphural is no exception, but
he, along with the rest of his family, aren’t visibly half-demon. In
fact, they are classified as Jinn based on their family lineage, and
what they have done in the past, rather than simply conception. The
Ifriti are basically a more powerful version of Jinn, often favoring
particular elements and lifestyles—taking those inclinations to a very
exuberant extreme.
Appearance: Hyphural is a very
extravagant, very gaudy individual. He favors the most eccentric forms
of clothing, jewelry, and grooming. He stands at a standard six feet,
two inches, yet weighs in at a very lithe, one hundred and seventy-four
pounds. Hyphural’s entire complexion is very Middle-Eastern/Arabic; his
skin is very tanned, almost to the point of being bronze, while his
muscular build is very weathered—toned like a runner or swimmer, rather
than a knight or another type of melee specimen. His face appears
almost insane, like a devil or banshee. The amber color of his eyes
radiate fervently with a fearsome heat—a heat that seizes one’s sanity
with only a touch. The rest of Hyphural’s features are sharp, from his
powerful, slanted nose, to his deep eye sockets. Hyphural’s hair is cut
short, though tends to lean backwards and up, slanting to a ‘sort of’
point. His hair is thick—and the color of a dark and dying fire. It’s
deep ginger is streaked with fearsome streaks of burgundy. His lips are
thin and scarred—often twisting into a malicious sneer. Hyphural’s
tongue is another sign his Ifrit/Banshee Heritage. It’s long and
pointed, reaching another inch past the bottom of his chin. Both sides
of his lips are pierced with copper rings, along with several more
rings of copper, gold and silver in each of his slightly pointed ears.
Hyphural’s
nimble, yet fearsomely toned body is very tanned and weather-worn.
Scars decorate his body like trophies, while plenty of faded tattoos
also garnish his body with symbols, patterns, sins and histories.
Considering the humid climate of Kotir, Hyphural prefers to wear
nothing on his upper body except more jewelry and sashes. His arms are
fully decorated with bracelets, more tattoos, scars and bands. Each of
his fingers are covered in rings of various metals and designs. To take
the gaudy, narcissistic look even one step farther, he has painted his
nails black. Hyphural’s pants are also suited to the arid conditions of
Kotir—they’re middle-eastern style pants—baggy and very light. They are
a dark, crimson color, faded slightly though still in reasonable
condition. The top of the pants are held strictly by sashes, while the
bottom of the pants stop at the top of his boots, forming a parachute
type of look. His boots reach the bottom of his knees—they’re black
leather, covered with rusted copper studs with metal supports around
the heal and toe.
Personality: Hyphural is a very sinful man. Each of the seven
deadly sins captures his interests—each of them fill him to the brim.
He craves mischief, but more than that—mayhem. He is a very reckless,
malicious person who takes pleasure in seeing others hurt. Hyphural’s
tendencies to antagonize are another cause for the trouble he sows.
Something deeper inside him is the true driving force, but the façade
that he’s constructed with his corrupt and spiteful ways tend to lead
people to believe he is only a mindless, typical fiend. In all truth
and actuality, there is something else inside his soul that not only
encourages him to follow the path of the seven deadly sins—something
drives him.
Weaponry/ Magical Capabilities:
The Bands of La’saar:
Upon Hyphural’s right wrist rests a spiraling, bronze band that does
more than initially expected. The bands are actually the tempered souls
of a Titan. A man named La’saar, a legendary eidolon who crafted
enchanted weapons, forged these bands from the soul of a shape-shifting
Titan of Blight. Hyphural found these weapons while pillaging La’saar’s
shop a few years ago and took them for himself. The bands can pretty
much take the shape of any melee weapon that Hyphural wishes, but
cannot stay in one particular shape for an extended period of time.
Class: Collector of Sins:
Indulgence in vice and transgressions of all sorts—the driving factor
for Hyphural Redfield. In particular, the seven deadly sins have proven
to be the most fulfilling to him. Sloth, Gluttony, Lust, Vanity, Envy, Greed and Wrath—all
of these things are a narcotic to him. The essence of devil spirits
inside of him have been passed to through his family’s generations. The
Redfields are collectors of the essences of souls, and have been for
thousands of years. The essences inside of Hyphural are all of the
demon kind, and these trapped souls are a commanding force inside of
his mind. (More about the Redfields will be elaborated in Bio)
Elemental Affinities: Fire -Major- Dark -Minor- (I can remove the secondary element if it’s not allowed.)
Physical/Magical Techniques:
The Ifriti Fires:
Hyphural has the natural elemental affinity for fire that all Ifriti
have. Their fire and forms of fire manipulation are much different than
that of a standard fire-user. To them, the fire is living—a weapon or
an ally who fights alongside you. Ifriti fire can take different forms
and colors, often altering their properties for very short periods of
time—these quick spurts of property alignment are often influence by
what emotion the Ifrit is currently experiencing. The Ifriti are more
than merely fire-users however—they are fire. Their bodies are
filled with it while smoldering lava courses through their veins and
poisonous fumes seep from their pours. Even with great concentration
and a considerable amount of effort, the Ifriti can, for usually only a
few moments, take upon themselves the properties of fire and become a living flame.
Background: Hyphural Redfield was one of the three triplet
children born into the Redfield family (Grendel, Blair, and Hyphural).
He was the last to leave his mothers womb—almost then and there setting
the tone for the type of rebellious, antagonistic person that he would
become. The lineage of the Redfield family is a very strange one. First
and foremost, the original Redfield shall be discussed shortly—Lucius.
Lucius Redfield was the first Redfield to begin the families traditions
of, well—collecting. In the year 86 A.D., Lucius made a deal
with a watcher (A now extinct race of universal keepers) who kept
various things such as memories, emotions, ideas and all of the other
intangibles that make up the universe. The last watcher gave Lucius the
ability to collect the essences of others—a part of their soul that
separates from the spirit at the exact instant of death. Within an
essence is everything about that person, from their memories to their
personality; even their conscious. Throughout the generations, the
Redfields have been collecting essences; each in their own way, and
never losing one. All that has been collected is pasted down to the
next generation of Redfield for them to build and grow upon.
Hyphural,
for some odd reason, inherited only the past collection of ‘darker’
essences from his Father, Morfindel. And for another peculiar reason,
Hyphural cannot collect any more essences himself, he can only collect
the ‘vice’ and ‘sin’ that the demon essences inside him crave. In particular, Hyphural craves the Seven Deadly Sins; he considers those to be the most satiating.
Hyphural
left his Family in the middle of the night one day, driven only by his
ever growing hunger for the sins he collects. He’s almost driven like a
machine—never ceasing his hunt for more, so that someday he would be
completely filled…if only someone would have told him he never would be…
Thirty
years ago, just about at the time when Hyphural decided to stop his
aging at forty-four years old, he joined an organization called the
Intrepid Genesis. He thought that maybe there he would find the kind of
sins that would stop the screaming inside of him—the kind of sins that
would stop his eternal suffering. However, the group eventually
disbanded, and Hyphural was so completely depraved that he didn’t even
leave the city of Kotir—he became a notorious criminal within the
city—the guards and militia eventually gave up on catching or stopping
him…he was too wily and powerful to constrain. Hyphural continued to
live in Kotir, feeding off of petty sins and peccadillo—though he was
falling apart inside, and no salvation was in sight…
::—Kotir—::
A
brilliant splash of daylight washed over Hyphural’s closed eyes like a
guardian angel. The scent of freshly baked sweet bread was in the air
while arguing voices and children’s voices could be heard along with
the clamoring of trading wagons. He blinked twice, and then three more
times; rubbing the back of his neck wearily, Hyphural Redfield sat up
from his flour-bag, make-shift bed, and looked around in a bewildered
haze. He was near a trading post that he typically slept by when he
noticed something through the crowds of travelers and the clouds of
dust slowly rising—that elf. Slowly, he rose to his feet which were
still trembling from weariness. “I cannot be…” Hyphural reassured
himself in a slow, thoughtful tone, but he didn’t even convince
himself. Maybe this time he would find what he needed in the new
Intrepid Genesis, he reflected as he overheard the townsfolk speaking
of the new city take-over. This was the chance he had been waiting for,
Hyphural decided, and he vigilantly made his way toward the Palace of
Kotir—the shinning beacon of his potential salvation…however tainted
that deliverance may prove to be…
