Personality and Abilities How would your character respond to experiencing Fear? “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.” Tarquinius has always known fear, being the son of a traitor has had him fearing for his life ever since childhood. However his schooling within the Lion Pelt Order and his devotion to the Spirit has strengthened him, allowing him to face what fears him with his chest out and head held high. Tarquinius tends to internalize his fear and combat it the best he can by acting brave and more masculine than he normally would. The young man also harbors a deep fear of the battlefield, being inexperienced in field combat he would most likely freeze if caught in the middle of the chaos of the battlefield before he could regain his composure. How would your character respond to experiencing Stress? “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” Always having found comfort in the Spirit, whether it be from his youth under Vulmar, or his time in Brissiaud. Tarquinius draws upon his faith to give him peace and comfort when under stress, electing to train both his body and his spirit while he is under such conditions. How would your character express feeling Happy? "Work hard in silence, and let success be your noise." Ever a man from the north, Tarquinius expresses his happiness with a mug in his hand, a smile on his face, laughter in his voice, and food in his belly. Never the type to celebrate regularly, once he accomplishes a goal however he will be in good spirits. How does your character view Law and Authorities? "Obedience to lawful authority is the foundation of manly character." Tarquinius was born to a man who commanded the law, and found himself employed to enforce the law. An embodiment of Regalian Law and Authority, he only holds him and his comrades in the highest regard, one who enforces the law must be an example of how to follow them. How does your character feel about Races other than their own? Ever an Ailor man, Tarquinius knows his superiority in the world as an Ailor and recognizes that every race is beneathing him. However, he holds more respect for those who acknowledge their inferiority and pledge their loyalty to serving Ailor. How does your character feel about Religion for themselves, and other faiths? "For we walk by Faith, not by sight." Belief in the Spirit has been one of the few constant comforts in Tarquinius' life and he has chosen to live his life according to the teachings of Unionism. Other faiths, in his eyes, cannot offer the same reward in the afterlife as Unionism does, hoping to convert all those he could. How does your character feel about the Arcane and Magical in the world? He does not understand it, nor is he fond of it. Tarquinius has never tried to understand magic and the arcane, so his understanding and knowledge of it is extremely low. Being that way, Tarquinius is afraid of magic to an extent as well, channeling his fear into distaste and hate for magic and it's users. How does your character feel towards their family? "A man should never neglect his family for business." Lacking a father and mother, Tarquinius has grown close to the rest of his family and will staunchly defend them with his life. As he's come to realize that family is one of the few constants in life, he won't let it slip away so easily. What is your character's biggest insecurity? "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." Tarquinius is insecure about his family history, his past behavior, and his skills as a knight. He fears falling into obscurity as just another nameless, irrelevant member of a less relevant house. What is your character the most proud of about themselves? "Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider, and not your own lips." Tarquinius is most proud of having graduated a Knight, and finding employment within the Violet Order. Believing these to be the first steps in changing hearts and minds about himself, and his family. What motivates your character to move forward and better their life? The biggest motivator in the young Krupp's life is to start a family of his own, and become the father he never had. To be the protector of his own family. What is your character's biggest fear? His biggest fear is being treated as a failure and meeting the same end as his father, executed for treason. To be seen as a traitor to the Empire with no hopes of redemption. Tarquinius is also deeply afraid of being mediocre, just another average man in an average world. Always aspiring and searching for ways to make himself known. The Krupp also harbors fears of magic, and fighting in battle and wars as he's inexperienced in that aspect. “A man’s worth is no greater than the worth of his ambitions.” Life Story Born in 281 AC to Virathus and Ida Krupp within the Crown Isle of Regalia Raised mostly by his uncle, Vulmar, as his parents were preoccupied with their respective government and city positions. Being Taught a strict discipline by Vulmar, adhering to the Sancella with fervent devotion. Growing up, Tarquinius hardly knew his mother. Or father, for that matter as they were deceased the majority of his life. However, his blood uncle Virathus, his uncle Bangsius, and his ward Vulmar instilled the belief that his father Virathus was indeed a good man, worthy of remembrance and praise. His schooling under Vulmar not only led him to fervent devotion to the Spirit, Tarquinius gained a sense of duty to defend the Spirit all that he can. Once he became of age and fearing for his burgeoning ward, Vulmar sent Tarquinius off to become a knight of the Lion Pelt Order. Placing Tarquinius in the care of the Order. Finding himself in a personal great unknown in Brissiaud, Tarquinius had become accustomed to new ideas and ideals, varying greatly from what he was taught as a boy. One of those being that Virathus was nothing more than a power hungry tyrant, a despot, and a traitor to the Empire. Naturally, Tarquinius struggles heavily with what to truly believe about his father. Tarquinius quickly bulked up in the years he was within Emprizais du Lion, swelling from an average built boy to a muscular young man. He grew fond of the intense training, the swing of the Beorl Axe, the weight of the armor, and the sense of belonging he felt Taking the time to grow his hair long, and keeping a fuller beard. Having grown into his Virathus' spitting image, having even frightened his uncle's late at night believing the man had rose from the dead and walked again. Tarquinius quickly approached his graduation year, at the age of twenty-four he once more set out on his own, back into the great unkown as he saw it. Tarquinius spent a few months in the service of a wealthy landowner, working hard for the pay the Krupp deserved. He saw every regal he earned honestly to be a step in the right direction, one that brings a good light to his family name.
Alrighty, let's get to it: In the beginning, Tarquinus is listed as 25 years old but later you list the year 281 which would make him 26, not 25. Other than that I like this character, especially the relationship between him and his father - Virathus was a bad guy and Tarquinus seeks to do justice and reject Virathus's lawless arc. I think your character has the potential for some real quality rp and an interesting arc. With that said, please mark your change in gold.
