Indis Siou

Upbringing
Born as an only child to a loving household, Indis enjoyed a happy and somewhat coddled upbringing within the village of Village*. His father, a painter, instilled in his son a love of the arts, as well as the importance of a good prank. His mother, a traveler and cartographer of considerable repute, usually found herself the victim of these shenanigans in good humour.

Whilst growing up, Indis had trouble acclimating to society outside his household. While not outright mistreated, most children his age had little experience with Tieflings. Due to his sinister appearance, his attempts at humour and friendly pranks were usually mistook as hostile or condescending by the children he attempted them on. These attempts at reaching out usually found him isolated as a result.

Unable to fit in, Indis made an effort to find a skill to which he could find common ground with the people around him. Try as he might though, he found himself unable to match the athleticism or intellect displayed by his peers. Even his attempts at painting produced nothing he was satisfied enough with to share with others, despite his father's insistence that improvement merely takes time.

Frustrated and upset at his inability to endear himself to others, he retreated in on himself for a time. Seeing this, his parents gifted to him a bagpipe, more as a toy to play with than an instrument to learn. And yet, Indis found himself enchanted by the strange honk machine and found himself learning the ways in which to manipulate the object. Soon enough he had become something of a prodigy in playing the instrument, much to his parent's delight.

Growing in confidence with this newfound skill, Indis found himself eager to share his talent for music with the local children. To his relief, the children reciprocated his spirited performance with surprise and joy. He had finally found a way to spread happiness in others the way his father did with his paintings, or his mother through her discoveries. It was then that he knew, this is what he wanted to do forever.
