ORIENTATION: DEFINITE VILLAIN

'''Physical description'''

Hurran is the grandson of [[Dibby Drampik]] and [[Dukwina Drampik]]. He is a stout (not fat!) pygmy shrew a head taller than most of his speicies - which isn't saying much when comparing his height to everyone else. He has steely grey eyes, a pugnacious expression, and a proportionally long and pointed snout (even for a shrew). His whiskers stick out all over, like most shrews- however, the ones on his upper lip are well-groomed into a thin, pointed handlebar mustache. His fur is black, grizzling to grey. He weilds a shell-encrusted scepter taller than he is, with an iron starfish shape atop it that has razor-sharp edges. He wears a chunky, seashell coronet with a real ruby at its center and enourmous scarlet and violet plume-feathers sticking up from it. He also wears a black robe with ornate violet designs, a tiny-seashell-studded carmine cloak, and disproportionately large sandals.

'''Personality'''

Vile-tempered, dictatorial, practically amoral, sadistic, and possessor of an overweening sense of self-importance. Zero tolerance for those who do not obey his whims.

'''Backstory'''

After Hurran's grandparents (Former Rulers of the Bloodrippers) were deposed and the subservient [[Wuzgo]] and [[Luggi]] took their place, Dukwina and Dibby were later banished from the High North Coasts for continued insubordination, attempts to regain command, and eventual attempts to put their newborn son in the position of Crown Prince once he arrived. After their banishment, they told the story to their son almost constantly, making it appear that they were in the right and that he should rightfully take over. He didn't think much of it, but when he wed and produced a son, many seasons later, he told the story to his son. Hurran (the son) sought out his grandparents to hear it from them, later taking it to heart that he had a whole army waiting for him to command and swore to someday take it over.

Hurran later left his home and went questing for a means of acheiving his goal. In the swamps just outside Mossflower, he was captured by toads and nearly slain - however, he was rescued by an old Hermit of the swamps, who poisoned the toads. Seeing a means to gain his goal at last, Hurran wormed the secret from the ancient mouse, killed him, and took from his hut all the poisons he could lay his claws on.

Hurran later found the Bloodripper tribe somwhere south of their old territory. Under Wuzgo and Luggi's leadership, and later that of their decendents, the shrews and sand lizards changed their name to the less intimidating ''Rippers'', and had become a fairly friendly and peaceful group of nomads. Taking on the guize of a magician, he instantly imposed a reign of terror on the pygmy shrews and sand lizards, forcing them to either do his will or risk be cursed by him (using tricks to secretly poison them). He completely isolated them from all outside contact, reclaiming the name of ''Bloodrippers'', and used them as his personal slaves, creating new and sadistic booby traps and torture devices. If anybeast dared to set foot in his territory, their life was over - if they managed to survive the booby traps, he would invite them in under false pretences and find ways to kill them. As he sometimes forced the shrews and lizards to fight each other in gladiator displays for his amusement, he would have his captives also fight either his subjects or each other, under pain of death. Were they to survive the fights, he would either poison them or condemn them to a torture device.<ac_metadata title="Here's My Entry. Hope the format's OK."> </ac_metadata>
