Bryst

In 1302 AE, Bryst was created by the Grand Wizard Hoshi after his forces were defeated trying to overthrow his rightful lord. He, his entire household staff, and family, were impaled on wooden spikes in the courtyard of his keep. Fortunately his nephew Byron survived the battle and returned to the keep to see what remained. When he got there everyone had died except for Hoshi. Byron knew his uncle was dying, but insisted he be given a proper burial and be made comfortable during his last hours alive; however, Hoshi had other plans.

Calling upon his last spell, Hoshi drained his nephew of life energy to save his own life. Knowing the spell would only keep him alive so long, Hoshi set about to create his lord's undoing. Gathering up a great funeral pyre he gave all of them body and soul to Magma, one of the most powerful elemental lords. As he threw his own body unto the pyre in the supreme sacrifice, Magma delivered into this world Bryst, a being of pure destruction. Byrst would carry out Hoshi's last wish to see all that his lord touch turn to ash.

For five years Bryst continued to destroy all things connect to his victim until in the year 1308, his victim died. Unsure of what to do, but bound to this world, Bryst simply walked off to find something else to fight.

Of the years Bryst has defeated many opponents, but he takes no pleasure it it — it is just what he does. Occasionally, he will hook up with a group of adventurers or mercenaries, because they often remain driven towards as task However, these encounters are short-lived once the group uncovers his enjoyment of killing.

Bryst appears as a very large (7'5“) very broad human. His skin color is deep red, flecked with dark orange and black. When he is not wearing his helm, a very rare occurance, his hair is black and shaved close to the head. Instead of eyes, his sockets burn with miniture flames that can reach above his head when angered.

Bryst is always dressed in military garb. In battle he wears a large black helm decorated like the face of a dragon. His brestplate has a single ruby in the center, about the size of a man's fist, and a stylized flame dances skyward. Without his armor he favors vests and kilts for maximum manueverability.

He reflects very strongly on the elemental planes of fire and air. His magical aura is powerful and combative and often given to bursting into violent rages. Like all of the Shadizar, he doesn't reflect on the Astral Plane. Interaction

Bryst is a master of all weapons. While he usually favors those that take advantage of his greater strength and reach, he sometimes uses other weapons to catch his opponents off guard. His usual tatic is to get into melee combat and never retreat.

He will only resort his control over the world's fire if opponents consistently retreat from combat, continue to stay at range, or ordered to by Rhian. Notes
