Tejas Mithra - Male - Bengal Tiger

♕ TEJAS MITHRA

♕ TRAITS

♕ OTHER INFO

APPEARANCE

A deep and rich scarlet orange with pure white under his paws around his eyes, around his chin, and at the very tip of his tail. Thick black stripes run throughout his entire body, some fusing together and becoming diamond patterns at his torso sides. Bright and lustrous jade eyes glimmer with youth. There is still much growing to be done, but the massive cat is already the size of a jaguar, and his musculature, broad shoulders, and strong jaw is shaping him to be a rather handsome adult. He still doesn't weigh to much to climb a tree, mostly because he hasn't grown into a size that matches his appetite quite yet. He should be hunting much larger prey than he is alongside his mother. A barely visible red scar is on his right brow. Such a small and easily missable trait is apparently the root of many of his problems.

Tejas is a strong young lad who has fire in the green of his eyes and wind in the scarlet of his pelt. He is an odd mix of adult and cub; all of his baby fat has melted away to reveal the sleek and muscular handsome young man underneath it, but his face and tail are still quite fluffy and his paws are a bit too big for his body. He tends to walk like he has a heavy burden on his shoulders or he is ruminating on angry thoughts, but his eyes reflects a sort of innocent youth in them still.

SOUL STONE

Dark Blue; not much of anything other than a strength boost and a health bonus. Both are very much needed however.

PERSONALITY

He is a dedicated to many things; getting stronger, finding his sisters, and being the best hunter out there are a few. He starts every morning with stretches and practice sparring, even if he has no one to practice with. It may look silly, but it will pay off in the end. His parents were messed up, and he feels that shouldn't reflect in his sister's characters. He loves their liveliness and how they aren't afraid of anything, but also knows that this could get them in trouble. He wants to protect them and their freedom so they can grow to be better tigers than all three of them. Statistically, Tejas is at a disadvantage in the hunting field; he is supposed to have at least a whole half year more practice with mother. He thinks that being out roughing it on his own is an advantage however. It gives him more personal experience, and now he just needs to hone it into skill.

To be able to accomplish all he has plans, he needs to be optimistic. He is very confident in his own skill; not quite to the point of arrogance, but a surprising amount for a tiger who is barely out of the cub bracket. Despite having loathsome parents, he does believe success is in his and his sister's blood, and he is happy to share that belief with anyone he meets.

All of that dedication and optimism seems to work out. For someone so young, he is doing very well on his own. He might not quite have what it takes to raise two other cubs, but the feat of raising himself is pretty impressive. He is surprisingly swift for a tiger in combat; especially because of how sharp his mind is.

Tejas is depressed, though it didn't always used to be this way. Once he started knowing the truth about not only his father, but his mother, he was devastated. Still, he can't quite pinpoint why he just has these moments of low self esteem. Sometimes he can barely find the strength to get up in the morning, and when he gets like that, he tends to have these horrible headaches that make it hard to think straight. Unknowing of Tejas, his childhood head injury gave him terrible migraines that alter his mood drastically, but since he got his stone, they have been much fewer in between.

There is so much in the world he still doesn't know. He is not the most naive of youngsters, in fact, he has decided he would rather not trust any older cat he runs into before he puts his trust in the wrong one. Still, he doesn't have any real-life wisdom, nor is he marking particularly high in the intelligence department. He is pretty gullible .

He can't help that he has a bit of a temper. He isn't used to bottling up his feelings and lately he has been having so many of them. Surging hormones and whatnot. He doesn't usually immediately jump to violence, but he can definitely go there. He is quick to show his distaste for something with a scowl or even a growl, and when his blood boils his voice rises.

Tejas is a young tiger from a simple background being plunged into a world of good, evil, politics, and magic. He doesn't care about any of those things however, he only wishes to find his little sisters and be the best brother he can. Tejas isn't the brightest cat out there, nor is he the strongest, but his perseverance will hopefully be enough to counter most obstacles in his path. He has a one-track mind and is steadfast to his goal, the adult pleasures of respect, love, and wealth don't mean a thing to him at this moment in life. Tejas is weary of strangers, sometimes even to the point of hostility in the case of older cats, but in a perfect world he would be a humorous and friendly young cat, which bleeds through when those who can get close to him befriend him. His loyalty to friends knows no bounds as they become family to him.

HISTORY

Niri was young, spoiled, and reckless when she ran off with the love of her life, Raja Mithra and decided they would start a clan of their own in the jungle; returning to a simpler life. Niri, being so young and a new mother, only gave birth to one son, but that was enough for them. His father showered him in affection, telling him often how big and strong and valiant he would be when he grew up and how he would be king of the jungle. His mother was more interested in doing whatever made Mithra happy. She was negligent to say the least. Never in milk or warmth; but who she held the most affection for was clear. Tejas didn't blame her though. He was a patient and good-hearted cub. He understood that it was a miracle that Niri could birth a healthy cub so young let alone have the motherly instinct to adore it. Niri didn't have many life skills outside of bathing and suckling her young. She wasn't a good huntress and she wasn't good at battle, meaning Raja had to hunt and hold down the territory at the same time. Raja's luck ran out when Tejas was only 10 months old; a failed hunt from being so tired led to Raja being trampled to death.


Niri was terrified of dying because she lacked the skills needed to take care of herself, but was too proud to return to city life. They struggled and many days, Niri considered killing Tejas; sometimes because it would be one less mouth to feed, sometimes because the little bit of motherhood she had in her made her feel horrible to see him suffering like that. When a beautiful and mysterious white siberian tiger male promised her security for a son, she happily took the offer even though she already had a cub, and it had only been a year since having him. While she was carrying, the male did a wonderful job feeding them both and even showing young Tejas the ropes to hunting. However, he was horribly misogynistic; he made it clear that he would be taking the male cub and leaving them afterwards. Finally, the day came that Niri conceived and she gave birth to three healthy cubs. One of them was a boy, and in fear of him leaving, she killed it, explaining to him that she would have to get her strength up a little more if she wanted to give birth to completely healthy cubs. Both Tejas and the male were suspicious, but they had to accept her word for it.


As Niri was caring for her daughters, she became a much more caring and loving mother to them than Tejas. She was obsessed with them, and when the male started becoming more and more domineering, she was raising them to be more and more free spirit and courageous. She lived out her rebelliousness through her daughters, and Tejas supported it. Not only did he support it, he was highly protective of them and wouldn't even let the male be around them. The tensions would rise high, and eventually it was too much. Tejas and the male erupted into an argument where he threatened to kill the cubs, and they were forced to keep him away long enough for the two to hide under a thornbush just high enough not to prick them.



After everyone had calmed down and the cubs were safely asleep, Niri admitted to Tejas she killed the male cub to keep him around, but now deeply regretted it and wanted reconcile from her son. She wanted them to work together to plan a way to get rid of him. Tejas agreed to help, but only for his sister's sake. He couldn't forgive someone who could kill their own newborn for such selfish reasons, but he could play nice.


Surprisingly enough, the tension between Tejas and the male lessened from then on. He would take him on more hunts and try to act like a father to him. Tejas was surprisingly patient and let him go on about his offensive views. Finally one day he took them far out of their normal hunting zone to a darker place in the jungle. Tejas was too scared of the ominous feel to continue on and demanded answers. The male told him that he no longer was waiting for Niri to bear young and he would settle with adopting Tejas. When Tejas refused his offer, the male struck him without warning. The impact made him hit his head against a rock and fall unconscious, forming a scar on his brow that would later become the source of many migraines and much misery.

When Tejas finally woke up, the sun was setting in the sky. He was lost and disoriented, but he needed to find a way home. After a while of wandering, he followed the familiar scent to the den to find Niri more than just injured, she was mutilated. One of her back limbs were torn from her body and her front ones were bloody and scarred beyond comparison, not to mention the claws and punctures in her face. She was long dead, but her eyes were set on something. Following the gaze, he found it led to the thornbush, where there scent was fresh, though the tracks behind it suggested they had long left for the jungle. Now all that Tejas is concerned about is getting to his sisters before anyone or anything else does.
