Be vary careful in saying what is not relevant until you have
explored all of the available options of the suggestion. You might
have missed what you think is a combination of option.
As I understand it, you want the first letter of a paragraph to
be much larger than the rest of it. You also want it to extend below
the first line. And finally, you want the second line and perhaps
more lines to wrap to the right of this letter.
First of all, this would seem to require a frame with the letter
in. Then set it to wrap text. That way you can use the font you want
and add a graphic background if you desire.
As far as using the Character style "Drop Caps", consider this.
What type of print drops below the rest of the line? Subscripts. So
if the proper size font is chosen, Subscript is chosen, "Raise/lower"
is adjusted, you get a letter which will extend above and below the
top and bottom of the rest of that line. However, it will not allow
wrapping of the rest of the text of that paragraph.
