Tiberius Drystan (Still a WIP)
"Your world is about to change, for better, or for worse. Especially for you." -God of Death
Tiberius is a red dragonborn with a yellow underbelly. His horns and nails are black with a dull sheen to them. He's got five black spikes that line his tail. Various scars are scattered on his body, most from his days in the Blackscale Gang.
Tiberius doesn't wear anything too extravagant; simplicity is more his style (and what he can afford). He wears brown pants cut off midway down the calf, a belt with a large buckle, a plain white shirt, and a blue jacket that goes about halfway down his torso.
He's native to Dragonia, curious about what's beyond home but limiting himself to simply wondering; he's never done research into these thoughts. He enjoys the simple pleasures of life. Being a fisherman, he gets a lot of time to himself and his thoughts. Sometimes this is good, sometimes... less so.

Personality
Respectful
Tiberius is very respectful. He sort of has to be given the nature of some people in Dragonia and how they treat Dragonborns. He is quite good at listening.
Kind
Tiberius has made an enormous effort to be kind. In his past, he has done many things which he regrets, including harming others. He wants to ammend that. Though he is not sure all the kindness in the world can make up for the things he has done (in his mind, anyway).
Protective
When it comes to the things he cares about, Tiberius is very protective. He will put himself in harm's way to protect his loved ones. He hasn't really had to do this much recently but that very likely will change soon.
Merciful
Even when he was part of the most dangerous gang in all of Dragonia Tiberius never really wanted to hurt anyone. He would spare people whenever he could. But he couldn't spare everyone.
Indecisive
Tiberius is not very good at making decisions. His time in the Blackscale Gang robbed him of taking charge in nearly any situation. He was constantly ordered around. He has improved his decisionmaking skill in his time away from the gang but still finds it quite difficult, especially under pressure.
Anxious
Yet another result of being inducted into the Blackscale Gang so early in his life. He never really wanted to be part of it and, thus, whenever he was asked to do anything, his thoughts would race. What was he doing this time? Stealing? Fighting? Or something even worse?

Backstory
Summary
Tiberius is a fisherman native to Dragonia. He grew up in Redclaw's Den and, thus, did not have the greatest childhood. Their family had to do whatever they could to survive. And if that meant joining a gang so they wouldn't lose their home, then that's what they had to do.
The Blackscale Gang
Tiberius' father joined the Blackscale Gang when Tiberius was very young. This led to Tiberius spending most of the time with his mother. She worked as a fisher and took Tiberius with her whenever she went out to work. When Tiberius was about 4, his father encouraged him to join the gang too. His mother was quite opposed to this. This interaction forever put a rift between the two. Tiberius did end up joining the gang, wanting to impress his father. This made an already unstable childhood much, much worse. Tiberius grew up in the gang, learning to trust no one but himself. It took many, many years for him to finally leave. His heart was never in it but, much like a cult, it was very difficult to escape the gang's clutches. He left with many new scars to forever remind him of his time in the gang and what he did.
After the Gang
After leaving the gang, Tiberius moved from Redclaw's Den to Dragon's Roost, a tight-knit fishing town. He worked for Sir The Fishmonger, or Sir The, a local fisherman who took Tiberius in and was a major deciding factor in getting Tiberius to leave the Blackscale Gang. He came to see Sir The as a surrogate father of sorts. He worked for Sir The for a very long time, doing more and more as Sir The's health deteriorated. The locals never took a liking to him, but given much of the island's views on Dragonborns, this was not a huge shock and he didn't mind too much.
Calder and Cordelia Drystan
[ Parents ]
Tiberius' biological parents were never very good at being parents. His father joined the Blackscale Gang in desperation to keep their house and his mother still had to work so they could scrape by financially. This didn't leave much time to spend with their child. However, during his very early years, Tiberius spent a great deal of time with his mother. She worked as a fisher and would take him on her fishing trips, unable to afford childcare and unwilling to send him out of her sight. But despite all her efforts, her son did end up joining the gang. She has not seen him since.
Sir The Fishmonger
[ Surrogate Father ]
Sir The Fishmonger, or just Sir The, acted as a surrogate father to Tiberius. He was the instigator of getting Tiberius out of the Blackscale gang. He owned a fishing business in Dragon's Roost where Tiberius worked for him after he left the gang. Tiberius took on more responsibilities as Sir The's health declined. Eventually, he pretty much ran the business himself. Tragically, Sir The did not get better, and he passed on. He's someone Tiberius could never forget, but this time in a positive way.
Dragonia Party
[ Travel Group ]
Tiberius' opinions on the group vary from person to person. Some he barely knows, but he generally wishes the best for all of them. As time goes on and they encounter more bizzare and quite frankly fucked up scenarios he grows closer to them. Maybe one day they'll feel like family.
