Hobbies:
Concert Crawling -- Tiberius is a regular at local goth, rock, industrial, and metal shows. He thrives in the chaos of the crowd and the energy that comes with live music. He has perfected headbanging and is very passionate about a good moshpit. He doesn’t need to know a band to show up; he’s just looking for a good time, even if it’s outside of his genre. He collects setlists and merch from his favorite bands and is always willing to give someone a chance. He has a part time job at a local venue to help set up so he’s usually got his finger on the pulse for up and coming shows.
Urban Exploring -- With a curiosity for the weird and forgotten, Tiberius especially enjoys sneaking into old abandoned buildings, tunnels, and rooftops. He photographs graffiti, collects weird trinkets, and journals about his exploration. It’s not for anyone else, just for him, but he’ll share with those closest to him. He loves the quiet decay and eerie silence, and thinks the world’s rough edges are its most beautiful. Morbid curiosity drives him to wander cemeteries, especially old ones with crumbling statues and faded names. He likes to find places to watch the city go by, or to disappear entirely, and he’s always looking for the perfect place to watch the stars.
Scrapbooking/Journaling -- Despite his chaotic exterior, Tiberius is a little sentimental. He is rarely without at least a small notebook he can keep in his pockets in case he’s got a moment that needs to be recorded. He isn’t dedicated to scrapbooking or journaling separately, but in his typical chaotic fashion it is a mixture of the both of them. In his notebooks are mementos–ticket stubs, band flyers, pressed flowers, pictures. He scribbles poems or shower-thoughts, often romantic, reflective, or raw. It’s unguarded and unfiltered. He sketches often, never really full pictures but usually parts of people–hands, eyes, loose poses–or abstract expressions of thoughts or feelings he didn’t care to put into words. His style is sketchy and gothic but he’s had a lot of years of practice so the moody, crude lines are definitely a choice. His notebooks are messy and out of order, but deeply personal. He doesn’t show them to most people, but he’s always on the quest for more memories.
Virtues:
Shameless -- He doesn’t pretend to be something he’s not, and he doesn’t care what anyone thinks. He has strong personal ethics, especially when it comes to freedom and identity, and refuses to compromise himself for approval. He doesn’t care if people judge him; he’s not going to pretend to be something he’s not just for their approval. He’s not afraid to be himself and he seems aware of his strengths and shortcomings and takes them all in stride. As such, Tiberius doesn’t feel embarrassed about who he is, what he likes, or how others see him. He does what he wants and is a beacon of individualism. He has a natural confidence, not because of pride, but because he doesn’t carry the stress of trying to conform.
Unflappable -- Tiberius rarely shows panic or fear, even in the face of tension or drama. His calm exterior can be unsettling to those expecting a more typical emotional reaction, but it makes him a rock when things go wrong. His relaxed demeanor lets him think clearly under pressure and handle conflict with ease. He is resilient; no matter what rumors or trouble follow him, Tiberius always bounces back. He doesn’t give up or let things get to him easily, and when he does take a hit, he keeps moving forward. He has a good sense of humor and a fairly playful attitude, so there’s not much that he takes too seriously.
Protective -- Tiberius’ loyalty is quiet and strangely unpredictable. He finds kindred spirits in many people, often without announcing it. He is the first to inject himself into a situation where someone’s in trouble. He doesn’t tolerate bullying, control, or cruelty, especially toward people who can’t speak up for themselves. He’ll step in without hesitation, sometimes even when it’s not his business, because he refuses to let anyone be cornered or silenced. Generally laid back, his protection is neither loud nor showy, but he isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. He doesn’t expect anything from anyone, he’s just following his moral code and doing the right thing by his own standards. He is surprisingly empathetic and good at picking up subtle hints; he is quick to check in, even if he doesn’t usually operate at face value.
Flaws:
Contrarian -- He instinctively pushes back against rules, even when they’re harmless or helpful. If something feels arbitrary or authoritarian, he’s immediately inclined to challenge or mock it. While this rebellion makes him a strong voice for independence, it can also make him difficult to cooperate with. He has a tendency to play Devil’s Advocate just for the sake of it.
Detached -- While Tiberius is far from heartless, he keeps people at arm’s length by default. His emotional walls and love of ambiguity make it hard for others to know when he’s being serious or when he’s messing with them. He’s slow to trust and sometimes struggles to express genuine vulnerability without making it into a joke. Tiberius keeps things to himself, sometimes unnecessarily. He doesn’t like feeling vulnerable or being predictable, so he rarely shares personal info, even with people he trusts. This can make him seem distant or hard to connect with. Sometimes he seems like he could get through life without needing any connections, and this independence can make it seem like he’s willing to leave anyone and everyone behind.
Disrespectful -- Tiberius doesn’t always bother softening his words, especially when talking to authority figures or people he disagrees with. He can come across as incredibly disrespectful (because he is) and it’s impossible to think he’s not doing it on purpose. His bluntness and dark sense of humor can come off as rude, sarcastic, or even hostile, and he doesn’t care to correct misinterpretations. Sometimes, Tiberius will stir the pot just to push buttons. He enjoys baiting people or pushing boundaries just to get a reaction. He enjoys provoking people and situations, and even when not malicious it can still be disruptive. He has a tendency to resort to sarcasm, cryptic comments, or cold shoulders when annoyed rather than talking about his problems, which can often make minor issues worse. He can come across as rude or annoying.
