(((Fourth character! YEAH! ;D)))
Name:Brandstifter Horsa Aigis
Gender: M
Age: 32 years
Species: Shrew
Occupation: Incendiary Warfare Specialist
Physical Appearance:
Brandstifter stands in at a rather short height with dark brown fur and piercing emerald eyes. While not using his incendiary weapons he wears a plain green jerkin and a belt with his tomahawk mounted in its sheath. While using his weapons he covers himself with a large suit of wet cloth with a large hat and mask to stop burns. Around his belt during a fight are fuel filled bottles with rags on top that when lit and thrown, ignite and spread fire. Also on his belt are several containers of fuel for use in refilling his siphon. His siphon has cloth grips where he holds it, an igniter, sling for easy use, and a fuel reservoir mounted on the bottom. At the mouth of the siphon is a slow burning cloth for an igniter, which is covered in the shape of a dragon’s head.
Possessions:
A plain green jerkin
A large suit made of overlapping tattered rags with similar mask that is covered in water for protection from flames during battle
Handheld metal siphon equipped with an igniter, sling, hand grips, and fuel reservoir. When pumped, a jet of fuel (closely guarded secret) that adheres to nearly anything and cannot be put out with water gushes out
Set of fuel mixing equipment
Several fuel filled jars with fuel soaked rags on top for ignition on impact
Several containers of fuel on belt
Container of sand for extinguishing of accidental flames
Tomahawk on belt
Flint and steel for lighting siphon
Collection of several different chemicals that change fire (Make if different colors, brighter, pop and crackle, smoke more ETC)
large olive green bag for carrying his possessions
Personality:
Brandstifter has a witty, sharp tongued presence and is well reputed for being harsh. He handles everything with a quick get-it-done-right-the-first-time attitude. He can hold his head in very panicky situations, after all who else carries a death trap as a weapon in the event of a malfunction? Underneath it all he is a good friend who wouldn’t betray a comrade. Brandstifter also has a marked accent in which he eliminates the, a, an, to from his speech. “Old and young are given chance to vin in Abbey of Redvall during race on Vednesday” (Russian) and he also cannot write in the same alphabet he instead uses a different combination. He also cannot read English. He greatly enjoys fire and anything destructive really.
Strengths:
Incendiary weaponry: Brandstifter uses fire as a tactical advantage. Take on a Shrew? Fine. Take on a Shrew with a Flame Siphon? Not so much.
Tomahawk: highly skilled at fighting with a tomahawk
Inventive: his mind is always whirling with new ideas
Level headed: Handles panicky situations very well
Fluent in two languages: Brandstifter is fluent in both English and Russian.
Weaknesses:
Reliance on flame: Brandstifter is highly reliant on his incendiary weapons and aside from his Tomahawk; other weapons in his paws would do more harm than good
Bull headed: His way or the highway
Sensitive about height: Brandstifter hates when anyone who calls him short and has been known to take on beasts two times his size (And win occasionally)
Cannot read English: Being from a foreign island, Brandstifter cannot read English.
History: Brandstifter Horsa Aigis was born on an island within sight of Mossflower’s coast. The civilization there had among the best Navy ever made, using a strange liquid fire that would dominate the seas during battles. His father was a renowned engineer and forced by the all controlling government to make several sizes of siphons that could project this liquid. From ships designed around it, to handheld versions of the flame gushing devices. As he grew Brandstifter began making designs of his own inventing his own more effective weapon based of his father’s design. Growing up on the island, he became angered by the corrupt government and left for the nearby Mossflower coast at age fifteen, an offense to the government punishable by death due to his involvement in its secret weaponry
Upon landing the young shrew made his way to Salamandastron, where he impressed the Hares with his strange weapons and temper. After leaving Salamandastron he journeyed through the North lands before going south into Mossflower. He control burned several paths that had encroaching foliage on the edges on his way to a place called Redwall. When he arrived he was welcomed warily due to his strange weapons and clothes, but quickly became well liked. Often he would venture into the woodlands to secret locations to procure more fuel from places unknown. He would always mix it secretly to replace that which he used to clear paths. As soon as winter passed, the strange shrew was on his way into Mossflower, where he wandered again to Salamandastron, where he again resided for a time. Then he heard of trouble brewing in Mossflower and quickly journeyed to Redwall to assist his friends and allies in the great Abbey.
Relationships:
Father- alive
Salamandastron
Redwall Abbey
