Idris Friedrich Von Berg (OC)
A blind, territorial and fearsome maestro/composer, whose soul is trapped in a body that is slowly dying from mercury poisoning and the many illnesses he has.
“All men are equal in the eyes of God.” Yet Vienna’s most talented composer is a man who is a 5’3 terror on the podium, while weeping his sorrows away behind closed doors.
Idris, despite his small build, and frailty, is a man with strong willpower, who rules his orchestra with an iron fist. He demands absolute, unflinching perfection from his musicians-a desperate, furious attempt to control a world he cannot see, while trapped inside a body he cannot fix.

He is an oc of mine that I created about a year ago and lately I have been working on fleshing him out a little better. He lives in Vienna in the 1700s, sadly with the many health complications that he has, he doesn’t live to be very old since death finally comes for him on a rainy November day in 1795 when he was only 47 years old.
My biggest inspirations for him were my love for classical music of the era, the brilliant but physically fragile history of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson, and the movie Amadeus- a parallel that will make perfect sense once I introduce you to his bitter rival. I aspire to continue working on him and posting more about him, since he is my little guy whom I love dearly 🤍
