Tiberius Titani Jett

"'My family.. they are not the nicest.' - Tiberius to Aelia"Tiberius is a District 1 male tribute that participated in Round 3.

Backstory
TW: Homophobia, Death,

Tiberius was born to a reasonably wealthy goldsmith family in District 1, the Jett's. His father, Maximus, was very disdainful towards him while his mother was a quiet individual who hoped Tiberius would keep his head low. Tiberius is meant to inherit the Jett business, and he appeared up to the task, often helping his father from a very young age. At 4 years old, Tiberius's brother Nero was born, and Maximus immediately took liking to the cocky, sophisticated kitten. Tiberius disliked his high-strung brother and turned to his younger sister born 9 years later, Gallia. One time, Tiberius built Gallia some toys and as she was playing with them, she started to yell in happiness. The noise upset his father and he clawed half of Gallia's ear off, giving her some hearing problems. Tiberius felt instant regret and became very hard-headed towards his father from that day. Around the age of 15 Maximus introduced him and Nero to the Vine family. He somehow forced Tiberius into dating their daughter, Syrah Vine, in order to create more connections. Tiberius and Syrah became very close, but he only ever saw her as a friend- he instead had eyes for her brother, Malbec. Surprised by his feelings for the tom, Tiberius tried to suppress them as much as he could, not wanting to upset his father. Leading up to the games, he started training as a Career with others in his district until he was reaped.

Training
Tiberius showed promise in his training, with his superior strength and building abilities. He received swimming sessions from Del Segna, who helped him learn to speed through rough water. He practiced fighting with Monlo, and made allies with other Careers like Arya. Tiberius, appearing to be rude to other tribute at first, slowly softened up to them, such as when he helped teach Quake to get out of a pin. He fought with Blue and Aelia a lot, disliking how snarky both cats were like his brother, although he has mentioned to Aelia that she is "a lot like [his] sister".

His events went pretty smoothly- Tiberius scored quite well during his parade (4/5?) and interview (5/5). I didn't do his Gamemaker because I had committment issues :thumbs_up:

Arena
Tiberius was the first to die in the Arena, giving up his life when Monlo attacked him. He was fatally injured by Monlo with a chest strike, but it wasn't enough to kill him. Tiberius, realizing that either way he would die, asked Monlo to finish him off, and slipped off the hill to his death, the last thing he saw being the golden sky above him (yes this is me being lazy and having committment issues).

Much time later, he awoke in a field of golden grass, believing that he had reached heaven of some sort. He did not remember who killed him other than the fact that the last thing he saw was the evening sky. However, he saw Aelia and was clarified by her that he was dead, but now a ghost instead, like Wolf. When asked how he felt, Tiberius spoke about how he had no regrets of his death, and now he was free from all responsibility. However, he would never tell Malbec the truth, and that he would just have to settle for that. He wished Aelia good luck and disappeared into the wind.

Post-Arena
Eventually, Tiberius wandered around the Capitol for a bit, in a deep, dormant sleep. He found himself more energetic and brightened unlike the arena, only hiding away during sunset as it reminds him of his death. He never went back to District 1, but he did watch the reapings and was more or less relieved when nobody from his family had been reaped.

During the height of Round 4, Tiberius was floating around a certain celebrity chef's room, drawn in by the fantasical scents. It seemed at the time a maid was vacuuming the area, and the 18 year old ghost was unexpectedly sucked in. The maid was later fired by the chef's wife for stealing items, and was replaced by a roomba. Now he remains there in the closet within the vacuum, trapped in the dark...

Trivia

 * Tiberius's owner is IceClimbers4Life on Scratch.
 * Originally, Tiberius's name was going to be Augustus, and his family was to be composed of stylists. He was also going to be openly gay, however Popo changed this in order to fit his character more. Augustus's early designs were consisted of blue-grey fur with black paws and turquoise eyes (highly unrealistic).
 * Tiberius was going to carry around a pearl ring his uncle gave him, but this was scrapped due to the lack of reason.
 * His voice claim is Munehisa Iwai [ENG] from Persona 5, although sometimes he sounds a lot like JSchlatt.
