I've seen more places than I can name.
And over time they all start to look the same.
But it ain't that truth we chase.
No, it's the promise of a better place...

NAME : Alukesh
GENDER : Male
SPECIES : Tiger (Bengal/Siberian)
AGE : 9 years
DOB: Oct 31, 50 BC

AFFILIATION : Outsiders - Legion Tribe
RANK : Leader of Legion Tribe

About Legion Tribe - So named in memory of his late wife and the grand plans for life that they had, Legion Tribe consists of Alukesh, his eldest son, a litter of cubs and their caretaker. They occupy territory in the dunes south of Shemu territory, with the pyramids of Giza visible on the horizon. They use the points as a landmark to find their way around this unfamiliar land. They are a non-confrontational group, attempting to stay out of trouble in order to lay low and avoid notice. However if threatened, they can be a savage bunch who aren't afraid to maim or kill.

P E R S O N A L I T Y
[ protective ]

Alukesh has had a rough life, having had lost far too many loved ones for one lifetime. As a result, he is fiercely territorial of those he has left, and will quickly jump to their defense at the slightest hint of danger, especially if he thinks they could be taken from him. His tribe can reliably hide behind him when they're frightened, knowing they will always be safe under his sharp gaze. However, sometimes he can prove to be overprotective and stifling.

[ thoughtful ]

For all his negative traits, Alukesh can be very thoughtful and appreciative towards those he cares for. He pays close attention to what they like and dislike (such as a favorite type of prey), and may occasionally cater to that if situation allows such flexibility (such as a surplus of prey). He does this quietly and without concern, and will likely dismiss any such kindness with a sharp growl if it is brought up. It's his little way (and possibly the only way) of him showing his appreciation for his tribe...the only family he has left.

[ realist ]

This tiger doesn't see the glass half full, nor does he see it half empty. He recognizes it is both half full and half empty. He applies reason and logic to every manner of thinking. Straight forward and blunt, he cuts the niceties and gets right to the meat of a situation. Any other "fluff" to consider is a waste of time.

[ stoic ]

Although many past wars and battles have worn on the tiger and his bones ache...even though he has lost every mate he has ever loved...you won't see this brute cry. He is self-reflective and very hard to read, with few emotions ever showing on his face anymore. [Although he does have a crazy amount of RBF as a default expression xD] He doesn't speak as much as he once did, preferring to watch over his tribe in the silent sentinel way he once watched over his former home.

[ temperamental ]

Perhaps a result of trying so hard in life and yet getting pulled backwards time and time again, Alukesh has a tumultuous soul and angry spirit. His deep seated hatred burns in his eyes if one dares to look hard enough, and on bad days it doesn't take much to tick him off. If it bubbles over and he snaps, those around him had better watch out! He may lash out in fury at whatever is around him, and will eventually have to go off by himself to cool down before returning.

B E L I E F S

Religion: Alukesh has never been especially religious, though he does admire what some gods represent and will support those things.
Hybrids: On the topic of hybrids vs purebreds, Alukesh is indifferent as he doesn't partake in any Egyptian society that would affect him. He prefers to stay away from locals so that their beliefs do not interfere with his family which includes hybrids. He doesn't believe blood makes a cat any better or worse, and would fight to the death to protect the hybrid cats that he loves.

H I S T O R Y

Alu was born to a breeder female in a far away Roman owned city along with two brothers. Alu's prominent fangs quickly garnered him a lot of attention, and the humans took it to mean that he was destined for greatness. At the tender young age of 5 months old, happy-bouncy Alu was placed in a future training regime as its first tribune. He quickly learned from battle-scarred warriors what life was like outside of childhood, and he grew quickly. He fell in love, got in trouble, and paid handsomely for his foolish heart, making him a hardened Hunter in the long run. When he proved to be successful at bounty hunting, Alu's human companion placed him in a breeding program for money, and before long, Alu had many offspring...two litters of which he really cared for belonged to his wife, Shadow, and friend, Kleio. Before the cubs could grow to adulthood, however, both mothers went missing without a trace, leaving Alukard alone to tend to seven confused cubs as he himself grieved.

Once his cubs were grown, Alu found himself in the company of his old friend, Juno, who's mate had recently left her. The two became close over talk of the old days and bowls of wine and mead. They even joked about overthrowing the leadership of their militia, who they believed to be weak in comparison to the old ways they grown up in. Their jokes found other supporters, who quietly called themselves The Legion. Juno and Alu never acted on such treasonous thoughts, however, and continued to serve their city as loyally as they ever had. In time, Juno found herself with child, and the two couldn't have been more overjoyed. They both jointly agreed that they did not wish for their cubs to live the same life they had, so they hid them away in an inn where they were often welcomed as honored guests. When Juno's milk didn't come to feed the cubs, Alu was forced to kidnap a mother from the coliseum prisons, offering freedom in exchange for caring for the cubs. The mother agreed, and fed her own single cub alongside Alu's. When Alu's human was murdered, he came to stay at the inn permanently to be there for his cubs and distract himself from the grief.

One evening, everything changed. Alu was on his way to meet Juno, but when he found his wife, she was having a fight with her brother, Kaiden, with an escaped prisoner nearby. Alu attempted to stop the fight, but his intervention only caused Kaiden's claws to slip, dealing a death blow to his beloved sister. Kaiden and the prisoner fled as Alu held his dying wife, and a squad of fellow Hunters began to appear and surround him. What they saw was a cat that had lost his human and finally snapped by killing his wife. Horrified, Alu left the body and fled. He knew his time with the Hunters was at an end, and his best bet was to take his family and leave the city. They managed to make it out unscathed by boarding a ship bound for Egypt.

The ship pulled into port at Alexandria, and Alu and his crew were quick to get back on dry land. The strange new city was confusing and disorienting, so Alu led them out of it and into the country as soon as possible. The crew eventually found a habitable place to stay and made it a home, and Alu was almost obsessive about ensuring everyone maintained a low profile and kept the group hidden. To enforce their disguise, Alu cut off his recognizable spikey head and cheek fur, and does his best to keep them trimmed. He also renamed his cubs to match their new location, and himself became known as Alukesh. He vowed that they would make new names for themselves here in Egypt, and never again have to bow in brainwashed servitude to twisted tyrants.

RAMSES - fav.me/ddrdvsg
"My first born son has always been my shadow. Not unlike myself when I was young, I have watched him grow with such great promise from a determined cub to a capable killer, and I couldn't be more proud. He has shown me more loyalty and trust than any cat I've ever known, and has become my closest friend... and frankly, I'm not sure I could have made this journey without him by my side. I have begun to train him more, so he is prepared to take over our small tribe should he need to replace me. He has a long way to replace the impulsively sadistic teachings we both lived by in our old home. It doesn't age well on the mind, and I feel guilty for ever having taught him to be such a way. I want my son to live a content, satisfying life that I never could; perhaps even find a mate and raise cubs of his own. I would be happy with that."

The Cubs- "My children...the last litter I shall ever watch grow from cub to adult. I see so much of their mother in them. I wish you were here to see them, Juno, you'd be so proud of them. Ramses and I are training them to be just as deadly as we always were. Our Legion will live on. I promise."
