Appearance

Physical Description

This man's physique is absolutely unreal, a picture in perfection, something sculptures would look upon to emulate a god. His muscles are defined, his height is far above that of normal humans. Tiberius' appearance when it comes to sheer musculature is nearly perfection. Striations, definition, and even mass. He has enough bulk to fill out a tall and broad frame pleasingly without seeming lanky, perhaps more towards the bulk side. He has muscle for a purpose rather than just looks, but the marraige of the two comes across as exceptionally pleasing to the eyes of most.

Body Features

This man's standout features are mostly in his musculature that is typically on display. Outside of that, he seems lacking in scars or any marks of sickness likely due to magical means.



The only truly distracting feature on his person is a large tattoo dominating his right side. Dancing swirling flames that run from the bottom of his right abdomen up to his right collarbone, across his right shoulder and to similar position on his back. Some have said it dances when he's particularly 'fired up', or even grows.

Facial Features

Thanks to wonderful genetics, Tiberius is in a word, handsome. Symmetry inherited, and a distinct lack of blemishes, this is someone who has the money and means to be 'cured' of any early illnesses or marks from them. For this reason he looks to have always been in fantastic health.



His hair is long, tied back at the nape of his neck and drifting down to lower back leaving a more wild look at the front of his head and face. Something adopted from his O'kani teachings. The rich red hair is from his mother and where his name comes from.



Perhaps the largest oddity is the color of his eyes, Violet, beautiful, and rather soft for his typical demeanor. Another quality inherited from his mother.

Identifying Characteristics

If his towering stature, long red hair, wildly pleasing musculature, and bright smile don't catch your eye there is little more to his physicality that will.

Apparel & Accessories

Often sporting rather simple golden ear clasps, he can be found wearing something akin to a Mawashi. A wide rope-like belt around his mid-section, with decorative additions and a skirt or kilt of sorts that travel to his knees. The color of the belt is black with the skirt/kilt displaying his house colors and patterns in an ornamental way. Beneath the Mawashi ensemble are baggy black pants for ease of movement ending in sandals.

Mentality

Personal history

Tiberius's life has been one of devotion, to the people under his house's protection, to his family, to the Empire. He is notable for giving his all, a being of immense willpower. He was raised by a loving family, a proud family.



In his youth and to this day he is a ball of energy always pushing forward. There hasn't been a time where he didn't feel the weight of his House on his shoulders though. With proper direction he has had ingrained in him a selfless nature one that seems at odds with his position. Being under pressure truly is his normal and the only direction he knows is forward.



His mother was the only one to try to slow him down. Requesting him to live in the moment and lightening the load. Much has always been expected of him, her loving hand was a sweet relief he hasn't experienced since her passing. A fire took her from him, a freak and surprising accident that shook his family to the core. His little brother never really knew her, and his father was crushed beyond repair by the despair there after.



When Tiberius left the house to begin his formal military education at the Arcaeus Military Academy, his father slipped further into depression and much house policy languished. When Tiberius returned home between breaks in his training he found how far his father had fallen. Senatorial duties left undone, Honor Duels left unanswered, his house wasn't falling into ruin but their name was tarnished.



When he finished his schooling, Tiberius challenged his father for the position of head of household and won though it was no easy task. Even out of form his father was a monster of an individual. It was close, but the result was Tiberius victory. With that he named his Grandfather head of the household once more, to hold the title until he had served his time in the military and could adequately fulfill his duties.



Since then he has had four years within the military itself. Taking time for duties in the capital when applicable at the behest of his Grandmother who took over the Senatorial position and familial holding within the Capital himself.

Education

He has had several tutors in his youth learning social ettiquete, languages, trade, logistics, governance, sailing, celestial navigation, and various other skills typically attached to his house, and useful to their home.



His formal training in combat is what he really took to though, learning the power of tenacity from the O'kani people. The worth of working with one's hands. Thanks to his build he also had the privilege of wrestling with the orcs of the O'kani. Building strength with the next leader of their own coalition and under Kaijo's supervision.



Tiberius also has significant experience on ships and practical training of fighting on said ships.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Mental Trauma

Fighting his father 'for the good of his household' and thus humiliating one of his elders. Getting that right in his head has been tough and he's not proud of it. If anything he feels like he's alienated his family because of it. Before his father's depression they had been close and his brother likewise didn't understand it.

The value of inner strength, of what comes from within has been well-instilled. He firmly believes in Ascensionism because a form of it has been built into the core of his being.
