Indref Ashen, regularly known as Indy, is a Symbian who was stranded on Earth through a complex turn of events and, through further such events, came to return to Symbia. He is a layphon, half rabbit and half bird, male and of unknown age. He stands at 201 cm or 6 feet 3 inches, has a shoulder set wingspan of 489 cm or 16 feet, and is easily recognisable as white with yellow plumage.

Indref was born on Symbia at the time of the Great War against the Enemy, a fight that happened many thousands of years ago between Symbians and an invading extraterrestrial race. During this war was the one and only time Symbia came in contact with Earth until recent years. Symbians managed to port themselves to Earth in an effort to hide, at least temporarily, from the invading forces.

Only a select hundred or so came to Earth. They had come specifically to test a process called Essence Integration. Indref was one of the few who came, and he was posted as a sentry to defend the site. After many days, the site was ambushed and most of the Symbians there were killed, but the remaining few, including Indref, managed to use the Essence Integration process to hide. Because there were no other Symbians to release them from their hiding place, they remained trapped until very recently. Unfortunately, only Indref survived the process.

When Indref was released, he was faced with a strange world of sapien beings, almost devoid of entomnis and a very shattered memory. The process had changed him, melding his essence with the fauna surrounding him. The plumage of the cockatoo, the cruel talons of the peregrine falcon, the form of the European Rabbit.

Luckily, Indref had already made a friend: Ben, the sapien child that had inadvertently released him. Due to the effects of the Essence Integration process, Ben himself become infused with the entomnis [the empowering essence of the Symbian races], and together they explored what was new to them, and eventually worked together to return Indref to Symbia. Once done, Indref and Ben have lived "between the blue and green", or between Earth and Symbia, ever since.

Indref's main ace [or power] is ace absorption, whereby he can absorb the aces from other Symbians and so forth. He also has an inherent ace of fire, heat and light. His main vice [or weakness] is his emotions, and he will lose control of himself and his aces when sick, tired, angry, bored, or otherwise upset. He also rather likes beetroot.

Once Indref returned to Symbia, he set up shop as a musician and the odd peer. Currently Indref and Ben are together working on ways of letting the people of Earth know about Symbia, while on Symbia the people seem luke warm to the information, having known stranger things.

Footnote:-
The Enemy returned. During a battle waged on two worlds, I did what I had to to survive, and so did my friends. I am changed, shrouded in shadow and cursed with the emotic. I lost everything, but in this gained what I had never thought possible; a home. Scarred, weakened, I have never been happier. - IA

An interesting backstory that has quite the potential for story development. The power-absorbing power comes to me as a bit “game-breaking” so as to speak.

One thing I am confused. It appears that Indref the Symbian is the last of his kind, but that doesn't mesh well with there still being people on Symbia...

Sypathica is extremely difficult, unreliable and draining. It's rarely powerful, and Indref relies on his flight, fire, light and heat for the most part.

Indref fled Symbia 39,000 years ago. He left behind a people who did, barely, survive. In modern times he returned to find an understandably changed world.

Of my numerous storylines, this is my favourite, and I do appreciate the feedback! <3 <3 More MOAR COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS, bwhahaha. Hey, did you read my majorly unpolished drivel in the Writer's Corner?

The truth is I don't read much stories online. I read a lot of other stuff, but when I see stories written in English (for example, in the DA watchlist) I just tell myself "oh yeah this is going to be boring" and shy away. It's strange, I'm more receptive in stories written in Chinese.
