Appearance:
For an African Wild Dog Tiberius is tall for his species. He's in the prime of his years and it shows. He will not let his body be anything less than always prepared. As such, despite the lean body type he inherits from his species Tiberius is a strong, well built man. He doesn't even skip leg day. His face is worn from burdens and a life style that would put wrinkles on any mans face at an early age. His hair is a mixture of browns and dark browns that fade in an out of each other too quickly to really pin where the colors actually change. The white splotch of hair on his left half that began growing at an early age. When he was a boy he had a full head of dark hair. He maintains the rough beard around his jaw line. The man is littered with scars. From giant gashes from swords, spears, daggers, whips and rocks, to smaller faded ones from just being alive in a violent world.
Tiberius has slit pupils.
Weapon:
A sword that he's kept since becoming Captain in the city. The blade is perfectly weighted for him and he's familiar with it. He also possess a dagger that's capable of doing significant damage, especially in his hands. But be warned- Tiberius fights with his whole body. Elbows, fists, and kicks will be thrown. It should also be noted that the blade is not the only part of a sword.
Personality:
Tiberius is serious in nature. Confident, firm, and strong willed. He does not waste energy for nothing. He stand's firmly on values and justice, because of these traits he will help someone in need without a moments hesitation. He's wise, but still not old enough to realize that some things are impossible. He has the worst sense of humor.. The worst. He would make you believe a friend died at your careless hands just to watch you run away in fear to find out for sure while he sits back and laughs. However even this humor side of him is hard to get to. Tiberius trusts no one without given reason and should you find yourself on the wrong end of the sword you'll rely only on your luck and his mercy.
Likes:
- Working
- Building things
- A good spar
- Hoopty is actually really fun
Dislikes:
- Liars, the thought of someone deceiving another on purpose rubs Tiberius the wrong way
- Water, as in covered head to toe in it, including rain. Tibs hates getting wet.
- Disrespect and arrogance
Background:
Tiberius was born far, far away from Arhzung to a quiet farm life. The community was small and tight knit, made up wholly of people who relied upon themselves to survive. At the age of 13 Sua (Soon to be Tiberius) and his brother Easo were taken from the farm by a kingdom to be sold as slaves.
Easo was bought by a rich man, who used him for sick purposes of pleasure.
Sua was bought by a man named Arkad to work mining rock to strengthen the walls of the city. He was a hard worker but not without his imperfections which were always dealt with immediately and severely. Eventually Sua would work his way up to be Arkads right hand man and by the age of 18 he was practically running the mines himself. Sua fell in love with a girl named Sinta and planned to marry her after they escaped their slave lives.
This is when Easo re-appeared in Suas life. Easo would see that his brother fared well, that he was loved and had love despite the dirty, horror stricken life he lived as a slave. He would grow jealous and in an act of his own twisted justice he would take Suas fiance, have his way with her, then have her killed and the body disposed of. To him it was nothing. Just the way of the rich in the city to take and enjoy what they wanted. Sua was distraught when he found out 4 weeks later why she had gone missing.
Easo then pursued Sua with a vengeance, his brother was nothing but a reminder of what he had done, what had been done to him, what had happened, and bitter warped feelings of betrayal. He had to get rid of him.
Sua was re-positioned to the Arena by his brothers hand. Easo expected Sua to be killed but instead, just like in the mines, Sua worked his way up until he became captain.
Enraged Easo challenged the now dubbed Tiberius to a fight. It was long and bloody. A fight that left Tiberius screaming through tears at his brothers limp body in his hands. He buried him in that soil as a sign that no blood should be spilt in the arena again. And it was so. From then on the arena was used strictly for training and sport on weekends.
6 years later Sephiri appears, and not but a week after the arena burned to the ground. And Tiberius's head was wanted on a plate by the king. His men urged him to leave and after much deliberation, he did.
But a year after coming to Arhzung Sephiri left her tribe behind hand in hand with the lion leader Kinu. Tiberius, being second in command then became the new leader.
He recently nominated his own Second in Command Ryder after a rather major and badass event.

Additional Info:
- Tiberius is a rather decent carpenter. He's built table and chairs for Teshi, as well as shelves for Ryder
- Tiberius does not like it when others touch his sword, even in jest. This is one thing that he holds oddly close to him. It's both saved his life and ruined it and he will seldom place the weapon in anothers hands.
- He found Fini (The Hyena) during the freak winter weather. She's clingy and jumpy and though she's grown up now she still very much acts like a puppy
- If you get lucky you might find Tibs and Fini roughhousing somewhere
- Tiberius holds weapons training every Tuesday and Thursday, and anytime you ask him in between, or he deems you suck and need help.
- Tiberius keeps and updates a journal that he's had for many years. You may read its contents here.
