GENERAL INFORMATION
NAME: Inga Papramelosum
ALIASES: Inga Madhand, the Matriarch
AGE: 59
GENDER: Female
STARTING PLANET: Plant
HOME REGION: None
CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
APPEARANCE: Quintessentially Heran, Inga is a tall, wiry woman coming in at 6’4”. Sporting the usual teal skin, she looks to have aged gracefully, bearing more grisly scars on her body than lines on her face. What wrinkles she has rest mostly around her tired eyes, a frigid blue that offset her weariness if only slightly. Once flaming orange hair is now streaked with lighter strands from the toll of time, falling down past her shoulders in a shaggy look.
Having developed a specific style over the years, she dresses in a silky shirt and unassuming pants, which she promptly covers beneath a large poncho and a pair of chaps. She tops her head with a wide, white hat that only contributes further to obscuring her face at a glance. Betraying her combat ability, she also wears a few modest pieces of battle armour as bracers and boots. The belts around her waist, too, indicate her as one of few spacefarers in the galaxy still using ballistic rounds.
BACKGROUND: Clan Madhand. A Heran family, their name as old as it is apt. Unlike the more notorious clans of Hera, the Madhands have never been known to conquer, pillage or harass. Instead, they isolated themselves to hone the highly sought ability to kill anyone that ran afoul of them or a generous employer. Despite the cultish devotion to their craft, the Madhands are now all but a memory, united no longer under their current matriarch.
Inga was raised no different from her family. She was educated in the Madhand ways, how to kill, how to strike deals, how to escape imprisonment. Like her siblings and cousins, she took to the galaxy at large as a teenager to begin her work. Distant from the clan, as was the way they did things, she travelled far across the stars and learned a great deal while practicing her deadly art.
Travelling the vast expanse either in pursuit of a target or fleeing from someone rightly hunting her in turn, she eventually wound up stranded on an oceanic world called Derisin. She never meant to linger, but occupied herself with jobs hunting down pirates run amok, which inevitably led to an encounter with the so-called protectors of the Star Ocean. They were an old Saiyan family from the times of Sadala, she came to learn. Relations were initially strained, Inga’s cutthroat nature clashing with a clan more benevolent than her own could ever be, but the parties came to a gradual understanding. With the help of the Saiyans, she earned a ship in working order and bade a swift farewell to Derisin. She never intended to return.
However, fate had other plans. Her time with the Papramelosum Saiyans intruded her thoughts until they came to occupy her every waking moment. She longed to be so close to her own family. Unable to tolerate the distractions, Inga made an abrupt return home, eager to be greeted as a loyal and talented daughter of Madhand.
They met her with contempt. The very notion of one of their own straying from the path due to sentiment revolted her peers and elders. Her own parents barely looked at her, and Inga felt years of conditioning take their toll all at once. She lashed out angrily, without intention to escalate the situation, forgetting in the moment that Madhands do not do things halfway. Inga and the few Madhands that still live are the only ones who know just how much blood was shed in the dispute, culminating in her retreat from her home.
Without a plan or a single rational idea running through her mind, a bloodied Inga crashed her ship on the far-off world she never expected to see again. The people of Derisin were right to be wary, but despite that, she found herself taken in by their Saiyan protectors. In the wake of her recovery, Inga kept her distance as the weight of her actions sunk in. She thought to resent the Saiyans for a time, for they had been the ones to poison her with such softness. They, who treated her not as a killer or weapon, but as a guest. As a friend.
Before long, Inga returned to the Papramelosums. Aloof but pacified, she took to aiding them in their daily lives, though steering clear of the more glamorous title of protector that the rest were known for. She bonded to them in her way, and in time came to feel something more for a Saiyan named Promur. He was stalwart and always eager to be a help, but mindful of Inga's colder disposition in the time they spent together.
Growing older and evermore mellowed, she chose to wed Promur and settle with him. The two even had a daughter, raising her on a humble farm away from the bustle. For a long while, things were calm, and their time was sweet if too short. Promur’s health came to decline not long after fifty, and he would pass away surrounded by family. The loss weighed on Inga, but Promur had sworn to her that she and their daughter would thrive. Their homestead seemed slightly hollow, but Inga continued living peacefully with Vicori for as long as she could.
Though she’d lived a longer life than she could ever have anticipated, nothing seemed to last as long as it should have. One day, a Madhand appeared before Inga and her daughter, one of her cousin’s sons. In the time since her attack and departure, all of Inga’s seniors had passed, leaving her the head of the clan. The man posed two options; return and do right by her family, or die and make way for someone worthy to lead them.
The Madhand never got an answer. With blood on her hands for the first time in years, Inga made the swift call to abandon Derisin for the people’s safety. Setting her home ablaze and dragging her daughter by the wrist, she arranged transport and fled before anymore could come. Back into the stars after twenty-five years, to wrap up her unfinished business.
