=== NPC Rumors ===

== Relationships ==
=== Before the Calamity ===
Niko'lai was born in 1547 of the Sixth Astral Era in a small commune in the mountains of Gyr Abania. His clan consisted of 3 small Moon Keeper families. He has a twin brother, [[Mika'ial Lynxion]] and several sisters and cousins. Being twins, and male twins, at that, their births would portend an uncertain omen for the tribe. Almost every keeper in their small village was possessed of various degrees of special gifts: unnaturally keen senses, strong intuition, and a sensitivity to aether that manifested in a sort of sixth sense. Niko'lai and Mika'ial were especially prodigious in these talents. Innately intuitive and empathetic, the young boys were regarded with equal parts fear and admiration.

Alas, the gifts of this peaceful tribe drew the attentions of the empire, and having their sights set on the subjugation of Eorzea, these gifts were desired as a means to their nefarious ends. When he was only 8 he and his brother were captured by a cruel Elezen named [[Honoroit Dolet]]. Dolet was a Garlean sympathizer, and had advanced knowledge of both Aetheric energy and technology. He founded a research facility under the guise of an orphanage. For two years they were held prisoner and lived in isolation with the man in a tower, where they were forced to use their abilities to manipulate the minds of others, and draw information out of their memories and dreams. Niko'lai was subjected to painful and terrifying experiments, and grafted with special magitek implants that augmented his gifts even further.

In the year 1557, when Niko was 10 Dolet sent the boy off to the Imperial Army, where his now augmented abilities were used as a weapon. He was caged like an animal ,helpless to the Imperial agents that forced him to do their bidding: pry information out of the minds of others, indoctrinate government officials, and create chaos that inevitably led to the overthrow of the city-state's ruling class. After Ala Mhigo was secure in the empire's hands, Niko was offered a place in the Garlean military. Through his naturally charismatic nature, he won over his former captors. Niko was charged with several covert missions, which he performed remarkably in. From rooting out the resistance forces, to indoctrinating new "recruits", Niko'lai played many different roles, and played them well. Having earned the trust of the Empire, he began secretly working with the resistance force as a double agent.

After 10 long years of servitude to the empire, he saw an opportunity to escape. Staging a riot, he created enough of a distraction to escape the clutches of the Garleans with the help of the Ala Mhigan resistance force. Hijacking a flying imperial Juggernaut, he managed to elude his captors. He returned home, praying for a tearful reunion, and end to the madness. But when he arrived, the mountain village was no more. If there were any among his family left alive, he didn't have a single clue as to where to begin. Crushed but not broken, He decided that he would become a traveller, searching for his estranged family members. As the years went on without any leads, Niko'lai began to doubt that he would ever see them again. Longing for the love and companionship that a family could provide, he decided the next best thing is to create a family of close friends.

Worried about recapture by the hands of the empire, he fled to Gridania, and met a clan of young Keepers. While his relations with most of the clanfolk was positive, there were many who did not trust him, or any outsiders for that matter. Despite rivalries and shaky alliances, he coexisted with the tribe, learning to hunt and trap with a bow and arrow, and track just about anything or anyone. When Dalmud fell, The tribe was wiped out in the ensuing inferno, leaving Niko once again alone and without a family to start anew. But as the realm was reborn, so to were Niko'lai's hopes of reuniting with the family he lost, and fate may yet grant him the family he desires.

===After the Calamity===
During a chance meeting, he met [[Sashana Star]]. The two formed a strong an inseparable bond immediately and became traveling companions. Niko took Sashana to many exotic and diverse places around Eorzea, sharing his stories and adventures. As the two spent more time together, Niko aquired a strong trust and unconditional love for the young girl. The two shared stories about their traumatic history, and in doing so Niko realized that Sashana was actually his youngest sister, who was yet unborn the last time he saw his family. Niko'lai vowed that he would keep her safe as long as he should live.

=== Companions of Note ===

*'''[[Zanin Briggs|Zanin Briggs]]:''' Best Friend, and confidant, almost to the point of being a second conscience for Niko. Dubbed "Pack Brother". An Uld'ahn ex-gladiator, he turned away from his violent past to become a healer. Zanin is committed to helping Niko'lai find his way in life.
*'''[[Tristan Reilley|Tristan Reilley]](Deceased):''' A former lover, and close ally. Tristan was an outspoken Hyur who was highly sociable. Niko played an important role in helping Tristan and Zanin recognize their love for one another, and they became important role models for Niko'lai, who became inspired by their commitment to one another. The happiness the two shared was not to last however, as tristan sacrificed himself to save Zanin during an attack."
*''' [[Rheah'na Serras|Rheah'na Serras]]:''' A fiery female Keeper. Lighthearted, carefree, and hardly modest, she has captured NIko's attention since their fist hunt. While she is often seen teasing Niko'lai, and occasionally lighting his tail on fire, she is also quick to turn that fire on anyone who would wish harm on him.
*'''[[Sashana Star]]:''' A plucky young Miqo'te girl whose upbeat attitude belies a much more complex nature. Sashana is Niko's youngest biological sister. He is very protective of her, although not to the point of being overbearing, as he knows that she values freedom just as much as he does.
*'''[[Tiergan Vashir]]:''' As a former slave and captive of the empire, Tiergan has a lot of history in common with Niko'lai. While very accepting of Tiergan, Niko often makes it his personal duty to remove Tiergan from stressful situations and push him past his comfort zone, to varying degrees of success. Niko'lai had a very emotional connection and deep feelings for Tiergan, but after attempting to forge a romantic relationship with the other man, it was clear that neither of them were ready for the commitment or emotional baggage that comes with, and they went their separate ways.
*'''[[Yune Tabrisviel]]:''' A petite, slender Miqo'te that Niko met while stopping in Gridania after a hunt. He felt strangely compelled to talk to her as she had the look of somebody who was lost in the world. Since then, their paths seem to be inexplicably intertwined. What do the bonds of fate have in store for these two? Only time will tell.

===Organizations===
*'''Vylbrand Academy:(Unsing Heroes Free company)''' Niko was once enrolled in the Vylbrand Academy with Tristan, Zanina, and Rheah'na, but left due to disagreements with the headmistress.
*'''Aeon''' A mysterious collective of individuals who are linked through a shared consciousness with each other

===Wanted for role playing===

Niko is searching for his family. Any keeper of the Moon tribe who is from Gyr Abania (Ala Mhigo) might have a connection.

Niko is not content to Hang around the quicksand all day, so I always like RPing in new and different spots.

}}<font size="3">''Gladiator. Ala Mhigan. Slave.''</font>

Tiergan was seven when the Empire devastated Ala Mhigo - sparking the beginning of a life marred by violence, savage fighting pits, drugs, and chaos. His parents were slain trying to defend their home and he was separated from his fraternal twin sister, Lurial, when slavers captured him along with several other Ala Mhigan refugees fleeing from the region.

Now as an escaped gladiator-slave, Tiergan takes various jobs as a mercenary while slowly and methodically working to destroy his former-master's sprawling empire. For without facing the past - can a man truly be free?

|}

<br/>With numerous scars running across his flesh like a latticework and a body swathed in a mix of plate, chain, and leather - Tiergan looks every bit the gladiator he once was.

He is tall for a miqo'te, standing at 5 fulms 8 ilms with broad shoulders and a thick, heavily-muscled frame. His skin is a golden bronze color further deepened by time in the sun - the richness of it marred by various scars of many types. His hair is a stark white, carelessly cut and styled without much regard to appearance. One need only to glance at the male to realise Tiergan places far more value on his clothing and possessions being functional then beautiful.

The male typically maintains a rigid, quiet, but subtly aggressive posture, his frost-blue gaze fierce and cold. He rarely seems relaxed and has an air about him like a coeurl forced into a corner - tensed, angry, and his eyes fixed upon any and all potential danger.

===<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Behavior and Personality</div> ===

Around strangers, Tiergan carries himself in a calm, somewhat stoic manner, keeping his thoughts and emotions close to the vest while watching closely for the behavior of others. A lifetime of deceit, greed, and trickery has left the miqo'te wary and mistrustful of those around him, and he has difficulty being fully at peace when not alone. With friends and allies, the miqo'te has more difficulty concealing his emotions. The closer one becomes to him, the easier he is to read, transforming the merceanry from a cold, stand-offish figure to something of an open book.

Outside of combat, close contact of any kind sometimes triggers intense discomfort if the miqo'te is not expecting it. He maintains a respectful distance from others and only draws closer in a way that is obvious and offers plenty of time for the other to stop his approach if they feel threatened. Tiergan avoids speaking about his past history whenever possible, except that he was a refugee from Ala Mhigo, and tends not to pry into the history of others. Privately, Tiergan yearns for nothing more then something resembling a family or being with a group of people he can fully rely on. However, the very idea of letting down his guard and extending his trust to a large number of people makes him feel so exposed and vulnerable that he avoids doing so at all costs.

Though Tiergan believes on some level that the Twelve exist, he does not actively worship any gods and of them save for Rhalgr, who he seems to pay respect to mainly in remembrance of the nation that had once been his home. He firmly believes everyone is in control of their own lives and can forge a different path whenever they so choose. He finds the concept of Fate abhorrent, particularly because it would mean much of his life's suffering was somehow destined.

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Combat</div>==
As a gladiator, Tiergan was known for throwing himself into battle with a blade in his right hand and a steel-gauntlet in his left. He preferred close-quarters combat and liked going on the offensive right from the start, moving in fast and aggressive with the hope of leaving precious little time for his adversary to guard or parry. He pressed hard, testing his opponent's defenses until he found blood and weakness. He dressed light - armoring only certain parts of his body while keeping much of the rest exposed - though whether this was due to some sort of strategy to help him move more swiftly or because he was forced to garb himself in that manner is unclear.

In current times, the miqo'te's fighting style has shifted slightly. Though he still mainly relies on speed and aggression to carve his way to victory, the mercenary is now often seen carrying a shield and - especially when fighting alongside others - tends to engage in battles from a more cautious, defense-minded approach. He is heavily armored, the plate, chain, and leather covering up most of his body (and subsequently, most of his scars.)

Casting his shield to the side is often a sign that the miqo'te has, in a sense, shifted back to his old ways and intends to seek blood in any way he can regardless of any damage to himself.

His greatest weakness is fighting ranged combatants that are able to keep him from closing the distance. He especially loathes fighting spell-casters of any kind and often rushes to get in close as soon as possible when facing one.

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Occupation, Skills, and Pastimes</div>==
Tiergan often describes himself as a mercenary, usually specifically selecting jobs geared more towards combat such as escort missions, guarding people of interest, defending towns, or participating in all out attacks against bandit camps. He avoids jobs that may bring him too close to working for members of Ul'dah's dark underbelly and outright refuses missions that force him to subjugate the poor, the innocent, or the people of Little Ala Mhigo.

Recently, the miqo'te has been taking steps to train as a Paladin, hoping to become something more then what he once was.

=== Family ===

Tiergan was born into a life of poverty. However, most of his memories of that time were happy ones due to his parents shielding their children from the insanity and chaos caused by Ala Mhigo's King of Ruin.

<br/>'''Father:''' V'Rahn Nunh ''(deceased)'' - Seeker of the Sun - Formerly a Tia that had grown tired with his life in his tribe. He left to forge a path of his own and ended up in Ala Mhigo where he met his mate, Siha. He took on the last name 'Nunh' after his children were born as a cheeky way of showing he now had a 'tribe'.

'''Mother:''' Siha Ashir ''(deceased)'' - Keeper of the Moon - Similarly to V'Rahn, Siha had left her tribe to experience the world outside of the usual traditions of Moon Keeper life and ended up in Ala Mhigo where she met and settled with her mate. They were both slain attempting to protect their children in the midst of the rebellion and the Garlean advance on Ala Mhigo.

'''Aunt:''' V'ira Tarja ''(deceased)'' - Seeker of the Sun - V'Rahn's fiery sister. She left their tribe alongside V'Rahn, eager to experience the world outside of its confines, and traveled with him to Ala Mhigo.

'''Uncle:''' C'aseen the Poet ''(deceased)'' - Seeker of the Sun - A monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr who yearned for unmatched power in order to defend his way of life unopposed. He fell madly in love with V'ira and would spend nights singing ballads to her, not realising she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a red-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.

'''Twin Sister: [[Lurial Vashir]]''' - Both Tiergan and Lurial were given more Hyur-sounding names to help them fit in more easily amongst the mostly Hyuran population. Their last name is a combination of Siha's family name and Rahn's tribe.

'''Cousin: [[Vailyx the Swifttail]]''' ''(MIA)'' - Seeker of the Sun - As children, Vailyx, Tiergan, and Lurial were a cheerful, rambunctious trio that were constantly playing together and occasionally getting into all manner of trouble whenever Vailyx came up with a clever plan. As he was the oldest of the group, Vailyx often was protective of his younger siblings and young Tiergan looked up to Vailyx deeply, seeing him as both his best friend and role model. The young miqo'te attempted to emulate his older cousin in any way he could. Tiergan has not seen Vailyx since he was seven, and was unaware that Vailyx survived the Fall of Ala Mhigo until recently. He still holds onto the hope that Vailyx may still yet be alive.

'''Cousin: [[Caen Jabari]]''' - Seeker of the Sun - A sprightly, acrobatic youth without any memory of his past. Tiergan was initially unaware of Caen's existence as the youth was born long after Tiergan was enslaved. The former-gladiator was later overjoyed to learn that he not only had another surviving relative, but that Caen was the younger brother to Vailyx. He's is now determined to protect Caen as he believes Vailyx would and to give the boy the family Caen has been missing for five long years.

===<div style="background:#444363;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;">Romance</div>===
<br>
Tiergan is a man who actively avoids romance. While he shared his bed with many during his time as a slave, very few of them were individuals he could truly say he loved. Now as a free man, the overwhelming tide of sensations that come with forging such bonds are far too strong and too raw, leaving him with the strong potential to lash out in one way or another. With a history defined mainly by violence, greed, and savage cruelty, he finds it to be too much of a risk for both himself and others, and desperately wants to wait until he's better adapted to his new life before attempting to court a lover.

Recent events have only cemented his thoughts on the matter, making it all too obvious to him now that he is not yet ready emotionally to handle something as complex and maddening as love.

Because of this, Tiergan is fiercely protective over the youngling (much to An'nai's chagrin).

Though Tiergan once attempted to court the healer with An'nai's patient and loving encouragement, the relationship has recently fell apart with Tiergan agonizingly aware of his failings as both friend and lover.

=== Common Rumors ===

::*"That man? Ah, he's jus' a mercenary. Tends to pick jobs that mostly revolve around fightin' and beatin' the stuffing outta someone - but what mercenary doesn't these days?"
::*"I see that one wandering about Little Ala Mhigo from time to time. He doesn't speak much - just arrives, drops off food, supplies, and what have you to the people there - and leaves after exchanging words with only a few select individuals."
::*"Tiergan - eh? He used to be quite the successful gladiator at the Coliseum back in the day. Haven't seen him fight in a little over three years though."

=== Moderate Rumors ===

::*"Oh, he ''seems'' like the calm and collected sort, sure, but hit him in the back - ''hard'' - an' he fights like a demon unleashed!"
::*"Thal's balls! I used to bet on that man in the fightin' pits - the ones ''outside'' the Coliesum that the Brass Blades turn a blind eye too. Used t'create a right bloody spectacle whenever he stepped in the ring. Haven't seen him fight in some time though. Not sure what happened."
::*"I think he might have a sister? She works as an information broker in Ul'dah. Don't know if they particularly like each other though - no one's ever seen them spending much time together."
::*"I see that one leaving the city all the time. Sometimes it's just for a usual job or mission. Other times, he vanishes for days and sometimes comes back bloodied and bruised. He'll say he was simply on a rough job - but the look on his face says it was something much, much more sinister then that. Best not to keep close company with that one, I say."

=== Rare Rumors ===

::*"Well now, in my ''extensive'' collection of reports, we've managed to learn that a white-haired male miqo'te has reportedly been slaughtering entire groups of men and women. There are only a tiny handful of witnesses mind you, and half of them may not have really seen anything at all. The Immortal Flames and Brass Blades haven't bothered looking too deeply into the killings because they're all affiliated with a criminal group deep inside the Ul'dahn Underground. And it's hard to say who it could be - there's hundreds of white-haired male miqo'te running around after all."
::*"That one's a slave, or at least he used to be. I'd bet half my life-savings on it. Must've escaped too - there's no way his master would've let him run around like this. He earned his master quite a bit of money and his master ''never'' sells his slaves. They either stay with him, working for life - or he kills them off."
::*"I hear a criminal lord that goes by the name 'Omen' would pay quite the pretty gil to have him brought back alive. Seems that he's been messing with the man's business for a long time now."

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:40px; color:#FFFFFF">History/Timeline</div>==

[[File:Tier pally.jpg|left|Tier pally.jpg]]

=== Childhood ===

Tiergan was seven when the Empire devastated Ala Mhigo. His parents were slain trying to defend their home and he was separated from his fraternal twin sister, Lurial, when slavers captured him along with several other Ala Mhigan refugees fleeing from the region.

Sold to a shrewd and wealthy merchant, Tiergan spent the next six years burrowing in mines and quarries, performing hard labour along with many other child-workers who had been bought for the same purpose. With each year that passed, the youngling grew more angry, vicious, and aggressive - making him difficult to control and risky to keep. His memories of life before the quarries were beginning to fade, but he still recalled the kind voice of his mother, the warm strength of his father, and the twin sister he'd been torn away from when the madness began.

Instead of putting the slave down and wasting an investment, the merchant eventually traveled to the Ul'dahn Black Markets and resold Tiergan as a potential gladiator slave to a secretive criminal lord known only as "Omen." The youth made his first kill not long after, when he was thrust into a room with another child of the same age and told that only one of them would be permitted to leave alive to become a gladiator.

The years that followed were a frenzied blur of harsh, rigorous training, brutal combat in illegal fighting arenas, and terrifying, nightmarish visions. Blackroot Rose leaves were used to give the youth a cruel, but lethal advantage towards the start of his 'career' and somnus was used to calm the boy afterwards, making him docile. The constant back and forth between frenzied uncontrollable violence and mind-numbing calm nearly turned the youngling into a shattered mess. However, as Tiergan grew more powerful in his own right, the use of Blackroot Rose became blessedly less frequent, eventually stopping all together.

With time, Lurial heard word of Tiergan and tracked him down. The twins found ways to meet and stay in contact, their strong sibling bond becoming unbreakable over time as they took solace in the fact the other had survived and they were not truly alone.

=== Adulthood ===

At the age of 17, Tiergan was moved into the adult slave pens. There, an unusual hierarchy was established where the strongest slave - designated as the "Alpha" - received special privileges and treatment in exchange for keeping all of the other slaves in line. The Alpha status was signified by a single red band around the upper arm and other slaves could fight the reigning Alpha with hopes of defeating them and taking their place.

Savagely clawing his way to the top, Tiergan reached Alpha status within a year. This allowed him not only the opportunity to embrace luxuries and pleasures he'd previously been denied, but it also allowed him more freedoms, occasionally offering him a glimpse of what life might have been like if he were not a slave. There were three other equally powerful contenders for the position. However, through a combination of luck and skill, the Tiergan managed to remain Alpha for three solid years until he lost the position to Zaius - a vicious, towering miqo'te with unparalleled strength and a sharp, calculating mind, who had only arrived within the pens a week before.

At first, Tiergan viewed Zaius with a great deal of resentment. After spending so much time at the top, the idea that someone could simply appear and defeat him within a week of arriving was infuriating. To make matters worse, the older, stronger male was often cruel and abrasive, mistreating Tiergan at every possible opportunity. Other slaves that had always fought Tiergan one-on-one in hopes of stealing his position, swiftly began ganging up on him in groups to exact revenge. Omen's men no longer regarded him with any measure of respect and he was denied all of the things he'd once enjoyed.

In his desperation to regain his position, Tiergan clashed with Zaius often, fighting with the other male over and over, until eventually a frenzied, tumultuous relationship developed. Gradually, the abuse Tiergan faced at the hands of others vanished as he fell under Zaius' protection. Even Omen's men hesitated to bring Tiergan any harm, his bond with Zaius swinging wildly between enemy, friend, and lover. Tiergan's emotions fell into conflict, his sense of pride making it difficult for Tiergan to see Zaius as anything other then a hated enemy or rival to be defeated... while Zaius' tendency to protect and defend him made it hard for Tiergan not to feel a little appreciation and even fondness for the older miqo'te.

It wasn't until sudden rioting erupted amongst the slaves and one of the walls to the pens exploded that Tiergan was eventually able to escape. With countless other slaves fighting each other and pouring out of the opening, Tiergan, Zaius, and many others were able to flee Omen's control. Tiergan later learned it was all orchestrated by her sister who had been planning to liberate him, but had no way of relaying the news. The gladiator-slave was finally free.

=== Present ===

Since his escape, Tiergan has become a mercenary, taking on whatever jobs he can to survive. He's also often seen around Little Ala Mhigo, delivering food and supplies to the people there. Hoping to evolve himself into something more then what he was in the past, the miqo'te jumped at the opportunity to learn the ways of Ul'dah's Sultansworn and trains rigorously to become a free paladin.

Despite Lurial's repeated offers to give him a place to stay, the former gladiator refuses, fearful of making her a target should Omen realise they are related to one another. He maintains a reasonably low profile, trying to avoid detection from Omen's men while doing everything in his power to sabotage the criminal lord's plans. His goal is to ultimately destroy his master's vast empire and eventually crush the man's throat under heel ... no matter what the cost.

<div style="background:#444363; font-size:40px; color:#FFFFFF">Character Connections</div>

The following characters may have the possibility of an RP link with Tiergan:

::*- A gladiator or anyone affiliated with the gladiator's guild - they would recognise Tiergan a fellow gladiator who was successful in the coliseum. He was known for wielding a sword and a steel, clawed gauntlet when fighting and wore a brass gorget around his neck.
::*- Anyone has ties to the Ul'dahn criminal underground - they might have seen Tiergan brawling it out in illegal combat pits. If they frequented them often enough or had deep enough ties, they would also know he was a gladiator-slave.
::*- If your character has really REALLY strong ties to the Ul'dahn criminal underground - they would know he was owned by "Omen." They would also know that Omen rarely, if ever, releases slaves and that this means Tiergan has likely escaped.
::*- Fellow mercenaries - they may have worked together at one point or another. Or they would recognise Tiergan as another mercenary who often took jobs that involved either violence, killing, or guarding something.
::*- Ala Mhigans, Ala Mhigan refugees, and people living or working in Little Ala Mhigo.
::*- Fellow slaves - anyone who was enslaved shortly after the Garlean Empire struck down Ala Mhigo, was a child-laborer, or was a slave may have connections to Tiergan.
::*- Bounty hunters.

Tiergan was seven when the Empire devastated Ala Mhigo - sparking the beginning of a life marred by violence, savage fighting pits, drugs, and chaos. His parents were slain trying to defend their home and he was separated from his fraternal twin sister, Lurial, when slavers captured him along with several other Ala Mhigan refugees fleeing from the region.

Now as an escaped gladiator-slave, Tiergan takes various jobs as a mercenary while slowly and methodically working to destroy his former-master's sprawling empire. For without facing the past - can a man truly be free?

|}

<br/>With numerous scars running across his flesh like a latticework and a body swathed in a mix of plate, chain, and leather - Tiergan looks every bit the gladiator he once was.

He is tall for a miqo'te, standing at 5 fulms 8 ilms with broad shoulders and a thick, heavily-muscled frame. His skin is a golden bronze color further deepened by time in the sun - the richness of it marred by various scars of many types. His hair is a stark white, carelessly cut and styled without much regard to appearance. One need only to glance at the male to realise Tiergan places far more value on his clothing and possessions being functional then beautiful.

The male typically maintains a rigid, quiet, but subtly aggressive posture, his frost-blue gaze fierce and cold. He rarely seems relaxed and has an air about him like a coeurl forced into a corner - tensed, angry, and his eyes fixed upon any and all potential danger.

===<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Behavior and Personality</div> ===

Tiergan carries himself in a calm, somewhat stoic manner, keeping his thoughts and emotions close to the vest while watching closely for the behavior of others. A lifetime of deceit, greed, and trickery has left the miqo'te wary and mistrustful of those around him, and he has difficulty being fully at peace when not alone. Outside of combat, close contact of any kind sometimes triggers intense discomfort if the miqo'te is not expecting it. He maintains a respectful distance from others and only draws closer in a way that is obvious and offers plenty of time for the other to stop his approach if they feel threatened.

He avoids speaking about his past history whenever possible, except that he was a refugee from Ala Mhigo, and tends not to pry into the history of others. Privately, Tiergan yearns for nothing more then something resembling a family or being with a group of people he can fully rely on. However, the very idea of letting down his guard and extending his trust to a large number of people makes him feel so exposed and vulnerable that he avoids doing so at all costs.

Though Tiergan believes on some level that the Twelve exist, he does not actively worship any gods and of them save for Rhalgr, who he seems to pay respect to mainly in remembrance of the nation that had once been his home. He firmly believes everyone is in control of their own lives and can forge a different path whenever they so choose. He finds the concept of Fate abhorrent, particularly because it would mean much of his life's suffering was somehow destined.

He has a soft spot for younglings. This is a throwback to his life in Ala Mhigo. Ala Mhigans living in poverty often had to pull together to survive. In his section of the city, older kids were often left in charge of watching over younger ones.

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Combat</div>==
As a gladiator, Tiergan was known for throwing himself into battle with a blade in his right hand and a steel-gauntlet in his left. He preferred close-quarters combat and liked going on the offensive right from the start, moving in fast and aggressive with the hope of leaving precious little time for his adversary to guard or parry. He pressed hard, testing his opponent's defenses until he found blood and weakness. He dressed light - armoring only certain parts of his body while keeping much of the rest exposed - though whether this was due to some sort of strategy to help him move more swiftly or because he was forced to garb himself in that manner is unclear.

In current times, the miqo'te's fighting style has shifted slightly. Though he still mainly relies on speed and aggression to carve his way to victory, the mercenary is now often seen carrying a shield and - especially when fighting alongside others - tends to engage in battles from a more cautious, defense-minded approach. He is heavily armored, the plate, chain, and leather covering up most of his body (and subsequently, most of his scars.)

Casting his shield to the side is often a sign that the miqo'te has, in a sense, shifted back to his old ways and intends to seek blood in any way he can regardless of any damage to himself.

His greatest weakness is fighting ranged combatants that are able to keep him from closing the distance. He especially loathes fighting spell-casters of any kind and often rushes to get in close as soon as possible when facing one.

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Occupation, Skills, and Pastimes</div>==
Tiergan often describes himself as a mercenary, usually specifically selecting jobs geared more towards combat such as escort missions, guarding people of interest, defending towns, or participating in all out attacks against bandit camps. He avoids jobs that may bring him too close to working for members of Ul'dah's dark underbelly and outright refuses missions that force him to subjugate the poor, the innocent, or the people of Little Ala Mhigo.

Recently, the miqo'te has been taking steps to train as a Paladin, hoping to become something more then what he once was.

=== Family ===

Tiergan was born into a life of poverty. However, most of his memories of that time were happy ones due to his parents shielding their children from the insanity and chaos caused by Ala Mhigo's King of Ruin.

<br/>'''Father:''' V'Rahn Nunh ''(deceased)'' - Seeker of the Sun - Formerly a Tia that had grown tired with his life in his tribe. He left to forge a path of his own and ended up in Ala Mhigo where he met his mate, Siha. He took on the last name 'Nunh' after his children were born as a cheeky way of showing he now had a 'tribe'.

'''Mother:''' Siha Ashir ''(deceased)'' - Keeper of the Moon - Similarly to V'Rahn, Siha had left her tribe to experience the world outside of the usual traditions of Moon Keeper life and ended up in Ala Mhigo where she met and settled with her mate. They were both slain attempting to protect their children in the midst of the rebellion and the Garlean advance on Ala Mhigo.

'''Twin Sister:''' [[Lurial Vashir]] - Both Tiergan and Lurial were given more Hyur-sounding names to help them fit in more easily amongst the mostly Hyuran population. Their last name is a combination of Siha's family name and Rahn's tribe.

'''Aunt:''' V'ira ''(deceased)'' - Seeker of the Sun - V'Rahn's sister. She left their tribe along side him, eager to experience the world outside of its confines. She traveled with him to Ala Mhigo.

===<div style="background:#444363;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;">Romance</div>===
<br>
Tiergan is a man wary of romance. While he shared his bed with many during his time as a slave, very few of them were individuals he could say he loved. Now as a free man, the overwhelming tide of sensations that come with forging such bonds are far too strong and too raw, leaving him with the strong potential to lash out in one way or another. With a history defined mainly by violence, greed, and savage cruelty, he finds it to be too much of a risk for both himself and others, and desperately wants to wait until he's better adapted to his new life before attempting to court a lover.

Despite this, he's fallen into a relationship with a young healer named An'nai Tir'Atha, hesitantly trusting in the other miqo'te's belief that they can move behind what troubles him.

Yet beneath it all, Tiergan can see remnants of himself in the boy's eyes: a former-slave that is constantly being hunted - without a home, family, or a vast number of friends to count on. Because of this, Tiergan is fiercely protective over the youngling (much to An'nai's chagrin).

Though Tiergan acknowledges that he's fallen in love with the younger male, it is also all to apparent to him that their respective pasts make their union a dangerous one. The youth sparks something terrifying in Tiergan that makes control slip from his fingers and logic from his mind, and he holds a deep-seated fear that together he would only bring emotional or physical harm to the gentle healer.

=== Common Rumors ===

::*"That man? Ah, he's jus' a mercenary. Tends to pick jobs that mostly revolve around fightin' and beatin' the stuffing outta someone - but what mercenary doesn't these days?"
::*"I see that one wandering about Little Ala Mhigo from time to time. He doesn't speak much - just arrives, drops off food, supplies, and what have you to the people there - and leaves after exchanging words with only a few select individuals."
::*"Tiergan - eh? He used to be quite the successful gladiator at the Coliseum back in the day. Haven't seen him fight in a little over three years though."

=== Moderate Rumors ===

::*"Oh, he ''seems'' like the calm and collected sort, sure, but hit him in the back - ''hard'' - an' he fights like a demon unleashed!"
::*"Thal's balls! I used to bet on that man in the fightin' pits - the ones ''outside'' the Coliesum that the Brass Blades turn a blind eye too. Used t'create a right bloody spectacle whenever he stepped in the ring. Haven't seen him fight in some time though. Not sure what happened."
::*"I think he might have a sister? She works as an information broker in Ul'dah. Don't know if they particularly like each other though - no one's ever seen them spending much time together."
::*"I see that one leaving the city all the time. Sometimes it's just for a usual job or mission. Other times, he vanishes for days and sometimes comes back bloodied and bruised. He'll say he was simply on a rough job - but the look on his face says it was something much, much more sinister then that. Best not to keep close company with that one, I say."

=== Rare Rumors ===

::*"Well now, in my ''extensive'' collection of reports, we've managed to learn that a white-haired male miqo'te has reportedly been slaughtering entire groups of men and women. There are only a tiny handful of witnesses mind you, and half of them may not have really seen anything at all. The Immortal Flames and Brass Blades haven't bothered looking too deeply into the killings because they're all affiliated with a criminal group deep inside the Ul'dahn Underground. And it's hard to say who it could be - there's hundreds of white-haired male miqo'te running around after all."
::*"That one's a slave, or at least he used to be. I'd bet half my life-savings on it. Must've escaped too - there's no way his master would've let him run around like this. He earned his master quite a bit of money and his master ''never'' sells his slaves. They either stay with him, working for life - or he kills them off."
::*"I hear a criminal lord that goes by the name 'Omen' would pay quite the pretty gil to have him brought back alive. Seems that he's been messing with the man's business for a long time now."

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:40px; color:#FFFFFF">History/Timeline</div>==

[[File:Tier pally.jpg|left|Tier pally.jpg]]

=== Childhood ===

Tiergan was seven when the Empire devastated Ala Mhigo. His parents were slain trying to defend their home and he was separated from his fraternal twin sister, Lurial, when slavers captured him along with several other Ala Mhigan refugees fleeing from the region.

Sold to a shrewd and wealthy merchant, Tiergan spent the next six years burrowing in mines and quarries, performing hard labour along with many other child-workers who had been bought for the same purpose. With each year that passed, the youngling grew more angry, vicious, and aggressive - making him difficult to control and risky to keep. His memories of life before the quarries were beginning to fade, but he still recalled the kind voice of his mother, the warm strength of his father, and the twin sister he'd been torn away from when the madness began.

Instead of putting the slave down and wasting an investment, the merchant eventually traveled to the Ul'dahn Black Markets and resold Tiergan as a potential gladiator slave to a secretive criminal lord known only as "Omen." The youth made his first kill not long after, when he was thrust into a room with another child of the same age and told that only one of them would be permitted to leave alive to become a gladiator.

The years that followed were a frenzied blur of harsh, rigorous training, brutal combat in illegal fighting arenas, and terrifying, nightmarish visions. Blackroot Rose leaves were used to give the youth a cruel, but lethal advantage towards the start of his 'career' and somnus was used to calm the boy afterwards, making him docile. The constant back and forth between frenzied uncontrollable violence and mind-numbing calm nearly turned the youngling into a shattered mess. However, as Tiergan grew more powerful in his own right, the use of Blackroot Rose became blessedly less frequent, eventually stopping all together.

With time, Lurial heard word of Tiergan and tracked him down. The twins found ways to meet and stay in contact, their strong sibling bond becoming unbreakable over time as they took solace in the fact the other had survived and they were not truly alone.

=== Adulthood ===

At the age of 17, Tiergan was moved into the adult slave pens. There, an unusual hierarchy was established where the strongest slave - designated as the "Alpha" - received special privileges and treatment in exchange for keeping all of the other slaves in line. The Alpha status was signified by a single red band around the upper arm and other slaves could fight the reigning Alpha with hopes of defeating them and taking their place.

Savagely clawing his way to the top, Tiergan reached Alpha status within a year. This allowed him not only the opportunity to embrace luxuries and pleasures he'd previously been denied, but it also allowed him more freedoms, occasionally offering him a glimpse of what life might have been like if he were not a slave. There were three other equally powerful contenders for the position. However, through a combination of luck and skill, the Tiergan managed to remain Alpha for three solid years until he lost the position to Zaius - a vicious, towering miqo'te with unparalleled strength and a sharp, calculating mind, who had only arrived within the pens a week before.

At first, Tiergan viewed Zaius with a great deal of resentment. After spending so much time at the top, the idea that someone could simply appear and defeat him within a week of arriving was infuriating. To make matters worse, the older, stronger male was often cruel and abrasive, mistreating Tiergan at every possible opportunity. Other slaves that had always fought Tiergan one-on-one in hopes of stealing his position, swiftly began ganging up on him in groups to exact revenge. Omen's men no longer regarded him with any measure of respect and he was denied all of the things he'd once enjoyed.

In his desperation to regain his position, Tiergan clashed with Zaius often, fighting with the other male over and over, until eventually a frenzied, tumultuous relationship developed. Gradually, the abuse Tiergan faced at the hands of others vanished as he fell under Zaius' protection. Even Omen's men hesitated to bring Tiergan any harm, his bond with Zaius swinging wildly between enemy, friend, and lover. Tiergan's emotions fell into conflict, his sense of pride making it difficult for Tiergan to see Zaius as anything other then a hated enemy or rival to be defeated... while Zaius' tendency to protect and defend him made it hard for Tiergan not to feel a little appreciation and even fondness for the older miqo'te.

It wasn't until sudden rioting erupted amongst the slaves and one of the walls to the pens exploded that Tiergan was eventually able to escape. With countless other slaves fighting each other and pouring out of the opening, Tiergan, Zaius, and many others were able to flee Omen's control. Tiergan later learned it was all orchestrated by her sister who had been planning to liberate him, but had no way of relaying the news. The gladiator-slave was finally free.

=== Present ===

Since his escape, Tiergan has become a mercenary, taking on whatever jobs he can to survive. He's also often seen around Little Ala Mhigo, delivering food and supplies to the people there. Hoping to evolve himself into something more then what he was in the past, the miqo'te jumped at the opportunity to learn the ways of Ul'dah's Sultansworn and trains rigorously to become a free paladin.

Despite Lurial's repeated offers to give him a place to stay, the former gladiator refuses, fearful of making her a target should Omen realise they are related to one another. He maintains a reasonably low profile, trying to avoid detection from Omen's men while doing everything in his power to sabotage the criminal lord's plans. His goal is to ultimately destroy his master's vast empire and eventually crush the man's throat under heel ... no matter what the cost.

The following characters may have the possibility of an RP link with Tiergan:

::*- A gladiator or anyone affiliated with the gladiator's guild - they would recognise Tiergan a fellow gladiator who was successful in the coliseum. He was known for wielding a sword and a steel, clawed gauntlet when fighting and wore a brass gorget around his neck.
::*- Anyone has ties to the Ul'dahn criminal underground - they might have seen Tiergan brawling it out in illegal combat pits. If they frequented them often enough or had deep enough ties, they would also know he was a gladiator-slave.
::*- If your character has really REALLY strong ties to the Ul'dahn criminal underground - they would know he was owned by "Omen." They would also know that Omen rarely, if ever, releases slaves and that this means Tiergan has likely escaped.
::*- Fellow mercenaries - they may have worked together at one point or another. Or they would recognise Tiergan as another mercenary who often took jobs that involved either violence, killing, or guarding something.
::*- Ala Mhigans, Ala Mhigan refugees, and people living or working in Little Ala Mhigo.
::*- Fellow slaves - anyone who was enslaved shortly after the Garlean Empire struck down Ala Mhigo, was a child-laborer, or was a slave may have connections to Tiergan.
::*- Bounty hunters.

Tiergan was seven when the Empire devastated Ala Mhigo - sparking the beginning of a life marred by violence, savage fighting pits, drugs, and chaos. His parents were slain trying to defend their home and he was separated from his fraternal twin sister, Lurial, when slavers captured him along with several other Ala Mhigan refugees fleeing from the region.

Now as an escaped gladiator-slave, Tiergan takes various jobs as a mercenary while slowly and methodically working to destroy his former-master's sprawling empire. For without facing the past - can a man truly be free?

|}

<br/>With numerous scars running across his flesh like a latticework and a body swathed in a mix of plate, chain, and leather - Tiergan looks every bit the gladiator he once was.

He is tall for a miqo'te, standing at 5 fulms 8 ilms with broad shoulders and a thick, heavily-muscled frame. His skin is a golden bronze color further deepened by time in the sun - the richness of it marred by various scars of many types. His hair is a stark white, carelessly cut and styled without much regard to appearance. One need only to glance at the male to realise Tiergan places far more value on his clothing and possessions being functional then beautiful.

The male typically maintains a rigid, quiet, but subtly aggressive posture, his frost-blue gaze fierce and cold. He rarely seems relaxed and has an air about him like a coeurl forced into a corner - tensed, angry, and his eyes fixed upon any and all potential danger.

===<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Behavior and Personality</div> ===

Tiergan carries himself in a calm, somewhat stoic manner, keeping his thoughts and emotions close to the vest while watching closely for the behavior of others. A lifetime of deceit, greed, and trickery has left the miqo'te wary and mistrustful of those around him, and he has difficulty being fully at peace when not alone. Outside of combat, close contact of any kind sometimes triggers intense discomfort if the miqo'te is not expecting it. He maintains a respectful distance from others and only draws closer in a way that is obvious and offers plenty of time for the other to stop his approach if they feel threatened.

He avoids speaking about his past history whenever possible, except that he was a refugee from Ala Mhigo, and tends not to pry into the history of others. Privately, Tiergan yearns for nothing more then something resembling a family or being with a group of people he can fully rely on. However, the very idea of letting down his guard and extending his trust to a large number of people makes him feel so exposed and vulnerable that he avoids doing so at all costs.

Though Tiergan believes on some level that the Twelve exist, he does not actively worship any gods and of them save for Rhalgr, who he seems to pay respect to mainly in remembrance of the nation that had once been his home. He firmly believes everyone is in control of their own lives and can forge a different path whenever they so choose. He finds the concept of Fate abhorrent, particularly because it would mean much of his life's suffering was somehow destined.

He has a soft spot for younglings. This is a throwback to his life in Ala Mhigo. Ala Mhigans living in poverty often had to pull together to survive. In his section of the city, older kids were often left in charge of watching over younger ones.

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Combat</div>==
As a gladiator, Tiergan was known for throwing himself into battle with a blade in his right hand and a steel-gauntlet in his left. He preferred close-quarters combat and liked going on the offensive right from the start, moving in fast and aggressive with the hope of leaving precious little time for his adversary to guard or parry. He pressed hard, testing his opponent's defenses until he found blood and weakness. He dressed light - armoring only certain parts of his body while keeping much of the rest exposed - though whether this was due to some sort of strategy to help him move more swiftly or because he was forced to garb himself in that manner is unclear.

In current times, the miqo'te's fighting style has shifted slightly. Though he still mainly relies on speed and aggression to carve his way to victory, the mercenary is now often seen carrying a shield and - especially when fighting alongside others - tends to engage in battles from a more cautious, defense-minded approach. He is heavily armored, the plate, chain, and leather covering up most of his body (and subsequently, most of his scars.)

Casting his shield to the side is often a sign that the miqo'te has, in a sense, shifted back to his old ways and intends to seek blood in any way he can regardless of any damage to himself.

His greatest weakness is fighting ranged combatants that are able to keep him from closing the distance. He especially loathes fighting spell-casters of any kind and often rushes to get in close as soon as possible when facing one.

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Occupation, Skills, and Pastimes</div>==
Tiergan often describes himself as a mercenary, usually specifically selecting jobs geared more towards combat such as escort missions, guarding people of interest, defending towns, or participating in all out attacks against bandit camps. He avoids jobs that may bring him too close to working for members of Ul'dah's dark underbelly and outright refuses missions that force him to subjugate the poor, the innocent, or the people of Little Ala Mhigo.

Recently, the miqo'te has been taking steps to train as a Paladin, hoping to become something more then what he once was.

=== Family ===

Tiergan was born into a life of poverty. However, most of his memories of that time were happy ones due to his parents shielding their children from the insanity and chaos caused by Ala Mhigo's King of Ruin.

<br/>'''Father:''' V'Rahn Nunh ''(deceased)'' - Seeker of the Sun - Formerly a Tia that had grown tired with his life in his tribe. He left to forge a path of his own and ended up in Ala Mhigo where he met his mate, Siha. He took on the last name 'Nunh' after his children were born as a cheeky way of showing he now had a 'tribe'.

'''Mother:''' Siha Ashir ''(deceased)'' - Keeper of the Moon - Similarly to V'Rahn, Siha had left her tribe to experience the world outside of the usual traditions of Moon Keeper life and ended up in Ala Mhigo where she met and settled with her mate. They were both slain attempting to protect their children in the midst of the rebellion and the Garlean advance on Ala Mhigo.

'''Twin Sister:''' [[Lurial Vashir]] - Both Tiergan and Lurial were given more Hyur-sounding names to help them fit in more easily amongst the mostly Hyuran population. Their last name is a combination of Siha's family name and Rahn's tribe.

'''Aunt:''' V'ira ''(deceased)'' - Seeker of the Sun - V'Rahn's sister. She left their tribe along side him, eager to experience the world outside of its confines. She traveled with him to Ala Mhigo.

===<div style="background:#444363;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;">Romance</div>===
<br>
Tiergan is a man wary of romance. While he shared his bed with many during his time as a slave, very few of them were individuals he could say he loved. Now as a free man, the overwhelming tide of sensations that come with forging such bonds are far too strong and too raw, leaving him with the strong potential to lash out in one way or another. With a history defined mainly by violence, greed, and savage cruelty, he finds it to be too much of a risk for both himself and others, and desperately wants to wait until he's better adapted to his new life before attempting to court a lover.

Despite this, he's fallen into a relationship with a young healer named An'nai Tir'Atha, hesitantly trusting in the other miqo'te's belief that they can move behind what troubles him.

One is a healer specializing in the arcane while the other is a warrior with an aversion towards magic.

Yet beneath it all, Tiergan can see remnants of himself in the boy's eyes: a former-slave that is constantly being hunted - without a home, family, or a vast number of friends to count on. Because of this, Tiergan is fiercely protective over the youngling (much to An'nai's chagrin).

Though Tiergan acknowledges that he's fallen in love with the younger male, it is also all to apparent to him that their respective pasts make their union a dangerous one. The youth sparks something terrifying in Tiergan that makes control slip from his fingers and logic from his mind, and he holds a deep-seated fear that together he would only bring emotional or physical harm to the gentle healer.

=== Common Rumors ===

::*"That man? Ah, he's jus' a mercenary. Tends to pick jobs that mostly revolve around fightin' and beatin' the stuffing outta someone - but what mercenary doesn't these days?"
::*"I see that one wandering about Little Ala Mhigo from time to time. He doesn't speak much - just arrives, drops off food, supplies, and what have you to the people there - and leaves after exchanging words with only a few select individuals."
::*"Tiergan - eh? He used to be quite the successful gladiator at the Coliseum back in the day. Haven't seen him fight in a little over three years though."

=== Moderate Rumors ===

::*"Oh, he ''seems'' like the calm and collected sort, sure, but hit him in the back - ''hard'' - an' he fights like a demon unleashed!"
::*"Thal's balls! I used to bet on that man in the fightin' pits - the ones ''outside'' the Coliesum that the Brass Blades turn a blind eye too. Used t'create a right bloody spectacle whenever he stepped in the ring. Haven't seen him fight in some time though. Not sure what happened."
::*"I think he might have a sister? She works as an information broker in Ul'dah. Don't know if they particularly like each other though - no one's ever seen them spending much time together."
::*"I see that one leaving the city all the time. Sometimes it's just for a usual job or mission. Other times, he vanishes for days and sometimes comes back bloodied and bruised. He'll say he was simply on a rough job - but the look on his face says it was something much, much more sinister then that. Best not to keep close company with that one, I say."

=== Rare Rumors ===

::*"Well now, in my ''extensive'' collection of reports, we've managed to learn that a white-haired male miqo'te has reportedly been slaughtering entire groups of men and women. There are only a tiny handful of witnesses mind you, and half of them may not have really seen anything at all. The Immortal Flames and Brass Blades haven't bothered looking too deeply into the killings because they're all affiliated with a criminal group deep inside the Ul'dahn Underground. And it's hard to say who it could be - there's hundreds of white-haired male miqo'te running around after all."
::*"That one's a slave, or at least he used to be. I'd bet half my life-savings on it. Must've escaped too - there's no way his master would've let him run around like this. He earned his master quite a bit of money and his master ''never'' sells his slaves. They either stay with him, working for life - or he kills them off."
::*"I hear a criminal lord that goes by the name 'Omen' would pay quite the pretty gil to have him brought back alive. Seems that he's been messing with the man's business for a long time now."

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:40px; color:#FFFFFF">History/Timeline</div>==

[[File:Tier pally.jpg|left|Tier pally.jpg]]

=== Childhood ===

Tiergan was seven when the Empire devastated Ala Mhigo. His parents were slain trying to defend their home and he was separated from his fraternal twin sister, Lurial, when slavers captured him along with several other Ala Mhigan refugees fleeing from the region.

Sold to a shrewd and wealthy merchant, Tiergan spent the next six years burrowing in mines and quarries, performing hard labour along with many other child-workers who had been bought for the same purpose. With each year that passed, the youngling grew more angry, vicious, and aggressive - making him difficult to control and risky to keep. His memories of life before the quarries were beginning to fade, but he still recalled the kind voice of his mother, the warm strength of his father, and the twin sister he'd been torn away from when the madness began.

Instead of putting the slave down and wasting an investment, the merchant eventually traveled to the Ul'dahn Black Markets and resold Tiergan as a potential gladiator slave to a secretive criminal lord known only as "Omen." The youth made his first kill not long after, when he was thrust into a room with another child of the same age and told that only one of them would be permitted to leave alive to become a gladiator.

The years that followed were a frenzied blur of harsh, rigorous training, brutal combat in illegal fighting arenas, and terrifying, nightmarish visions. Blackroot Rose leaves were used to give the youth a cruel, but lethal advantage towards the start of his 'career' and somnus was used to calm the boy afterwards, making him docile. The constant back and forth between frenzied uncontrollable violence and mind-numbing calm nearly turned the youngling into a shattered mess. However, as Tiergan grew more powerful in his own right, the use of Blackroot Rose became blessedly less frequent, eventually stopping all together.

With time, Lurial heard word of Tiergan and tracked him down. The twins found ways to meet and stay in contact, their strong sibling bond becoming unbreakable over time as they took solace in the fact the other had survived and they were not truly alone.

=== Adulthood ===

At the age of 17, Tiergan was moved into the adult slave pens. There, an unusual hierarchy was established where the strongest slave - designated as the "Alpha" - received special privileges and treatment in exchange for keeping all of the other slaves in line. The Alpha status was signified by a single red band around the upper arm and other slaves could fight the reigning Alpha with hopes of defeating them and taking their place.

Savagely clawing his way to the top, Tiergan reached Alpha status within a year. This allowed him not only the opportunity to embrace luxuries and pleasures he'd previously been denied, but it also allowed him more freedoms, occasionally offering him a glimpse of what life might have been like if he were not a slave. There were three other equally powerful contenders for the position. However, through a combination of luck and skill, the Tiergan managed to remain Alpha for three solid years until he lost the position to Zaius - a vicious, towering miqo'te with unparalleled strength and a sharp, calculating mind, who had only arrived within the pens a week before.

At first, Tiergan viewed Zaius with a great deal of resentment. After spending so much time at the top, the idea that someone could simply appear and defeat him within a week of arriving was infuriating. To make matters worse, the older, stronger male was often cruel and abrasive, mistreating Tiergan at every possible opportunity. Other slaves that had always fought Tiergan one-on-one in hopes of stealing his position, swiftly began ganging up on him in groups to exact revenge. Omen's men no longer regarded him with any measure of respect and he was denied all of the things he'd once enjoyed.

In his desperation to regain his position, Tiergan clashed with Zaius often, fighting with the other male over and over, until eventually a frenzied, tumultuous relationship developed. Gradually, the abuse Tiergan faced at the hands of others vanished as he fell under Zaius' protection. Even Omen's men hesitated to bring Tiergan any harm, his bond with Zaius swinging wildly between enemy, friend, and lover. Tiergan's emotions fell into conflict, his sense of pride making it difficult for Tiergan to see Zaius as anything other then a hated enemy or rival to be defeated... while Zaius' tendency to protect and defend him made it hard for Tiergan not to feel a little appreciation and even fondness for the older miqo'te.

It wasn't until sudden rioting erupted amongst the slaves and one of the walls to the pens exploded that Tiergan was eventually able to escape. With countless other slaves fighting each other and pouring out of the opening, Tiergan, Zaius, and many others were able to flee Omen's control. Tiergan later learned it was all orchestrated by her sister who had been planning to liberate him, but had no way of relaying the news. The gladiator-slave was finally free.

=== Present ===

Since his escape, Tiergan has become a mercenary, taking on whatever jobs he can to survive. He's also often seen around Little Ala Mhigo, delivering food and supplies to the people there. Hoping to evolve himself into something more then what he was in the past, the miqo'te jumped at the opportunity to learn the ways of Ul'dah's Sultansworn and trains rigorously to become a free paladin.

Despite Lurial's repeated offers to give him a place to stay, the former gladiator refuses, fearful of making her a target should Omen realise they are related to one another. He maintains a reasonably low profile, trying to avoid detection from Omen's men while doing everything in his power to sabotage the criminal lord's plans. His goal is to ultimately destroy his master's vast empire and eventually crush the man's throat under heel ... no matter what the cost.

The following characters may have the possibility of an RP link with Tiergan:

::*- A gladiator or anyone affiliated with the gladiator's guild - they would recognise Tiergan a fellow gladiator who was successful in the coliseum. He was known for wielding a sword and a steel, clawed gauntlet when fighting and wore a brass gorget around his neck.
::*- Anyone has ties to the Ul'dahn criminal underground - they might have seen Tiergan brawling it out in illegal combat pits. If they frequented them often enough or had deep enough ties, they would also know he was a gladiator-slave.
::*- If your character has really REALLY strong ties to the Ul'dahn criminal underground - they would know he was owned by "Omen." They would also know that Omen rarely, if ever, releases slaves and that this means Tiergan has likely escaped.
::*- Fellow mercenaries - they may have worked together at one point or another. Or they would recognise Tiergan as another mercenary who often took jobs that involved either violence, killing, or guarding something.
::*- Ala Mhigans, Ala Mhigan refugees, and people living or working in Little Ala Mhigo.
::*- Fellow slaves - anyone who was enslaved shortly after the Garlean Empire struck down Ala Mhigo, was a child-laborer, or was a slave may have connections to Tiergan.
::*- Bounty hunters.

Tiergan was seven when the Empire devastated Ala Mhigo - sparking the beginning of a life marred by violence, savage fighting pits, drugs, and chaos. His parents were slain trying to defend their home and he was separated from his fraternal twin sister, Lurial, when slavers captured him along with several other Ala Mhigan refugees fleeing from the region.

Now as an escaped gladiator-slave, Tiergan takes various jobs as a mercenary while slowly and methodically working to destroy his former-master's sprawling empire. For without facing the past - can a man truly be free?

|}

<br/>With numerous scars running across his flesh like a latticework and a body swathed in a mix of plate, chain, and leather - Tiergan looks every bit the gladiator he once was.

He is tall for a miqo'te, standing at 5 fulms 8 ilms with broad shoulders and a thick, heavily-muscled frame. His skin is a golden bronze color further deepened by time in the sun - the richness of it marred by various scars of many types. His hair is a stark white, carelessly cut and styled without much regard to appearance. One need only to glance at the male to realise Tiergan places far more value on his clothing and possessions being functional then beautiful.

The male typically maintains a rigid, quiet, but subtly aggressive posture, his frost-blue gaze fierce and cold. He rarely seems relaxed and has an air about him like a coeurl forced into a corner - tensed, angry, and his eyes fixed upon any and all potential danger.

===<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Behavior and Personality</div> ===

Tiergan carries himself in a calm, somewhat stoic manner, keeping his thoughts and emotions close to the vest while watching closely for the behavior of others. A lifetime of deceit, greed, and trickery has left the miqo'te wary and mistrustful of those around him, and he has difficulty being fully at peace when not alone. Outside of combat, close contact of any kind sometimes triggers intense discomfort if the miqo'te is not expecting it. He maintains a respectful distance from others and only draws closer in a way that is obvious and offers plenty of time for the other to stop his approach if they feel threatened.

He avoids speaking about his past history whenever possible, except that he was a refugee from Ala Mhigo, and tends not to pry into the history of others. Privately, Tiergan yearns for nothing more then something resembling a family or being with a group of people he can fully rely on. However, the very idea of letting down his guard and extending his trust to a large number of people makes him feel so exposed and vulnerable that he avoids doing so at all costs.

Though Tiergan believes on some level that the Twelve exist, he does not actively worship any gods and of them save for Rhalgr, who he seems to pay respect to mainly in remembrance of the nation that had once been his home. He firmly believes everyone is in control of their own lives and can forge a different path whenever they so choose. He finds the concept of Fate abhorrent, particularly because it would mean much of his life's suffering was somehow destined.

He has a soft spot for younglings. This is a throwback to his life in Ala Mhigo. Ala Mhigans living in poverty often had to pull together to survive. In his section of the city, older kids were often left in charge of watching over younger ones.

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Combat</div>==
As a gladiator, Tiergan was known for throwing himself into battle with a blade in his right hand and a steel-gauntlet in his left. He preferred close-quarters combat and liked going on the offensive right from the start, moving in fast and aggressive with the hope of leaving precious little time for his adversary to guard or parry. He pressed hard, testing his opponent's defenses until he found blood and weakness. He dressed light - armoring only certain parts of his body while keeping much of the rest exposed - though whether this was due to some sort of strategy to help him move more swiftly or because he was forced to garb himself in that manner is unclear.

In current times, the miqo'te's fighting style has shifted slightly. Though he still mainly relies on speed and aggression to carve his way to victory, the mercenary is now often seen carrying a shield and - especially when fighting alongside others - tends to engage in battles from a more cautious, defense-minded approach. He is heavily armored, the plate, chain, and leather covering up most of his body (and subsequently, most of his scars.)

Casting his shield to the side is often a sign that the miqo'te has, in a sense, shifted back to his old ways and intends to seek blood in any way he can regardless of any damage to himself.

His greatest weakness is fighting ranged combatants that are able to keep him from closing the distance. He especially loathes fighting spell-casters of any kind and often rushes to get in close as soon as possible when facing one.

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Occupation, Skills, and Pastimes</div>==
Tiergan often describes himself as a mercenary, usually specifically selecting jobs geared more towards combat such as escort missions, guarding people of interest, defending towns, or participating in all out attacks against bandit camps. He avoids jobs that may bring him too close to working for members of Ul'dah's dark underbelly and outright refuses missions that force him to subjugate the poor, the innocent, or the people of Little Ala Mhigo.

Recently, the miqo'te has been taking steps to train as a Paladin, hoping to become something more then what he once was.

=== Family ===

Tiergan was born into a life of poverty. However, most of his memories of that time were happy ones due to his parents shielding their children from the insanity and chaos caused by Ala Mhigo's King of Ruin.

<br/>'''Father:''' V'Rahn Nunh ''(deceased)'' - Seeker of the Sun - Formerly a Tia that had grown tired with his life in his tribe. He left to forge a path of his own and ended up in Ala Mhigo where he met his mate, Siha. He took on the last name 'Nunh' after his children were born as a cheeky way of showing he now had a 'tribe'.

'''Mother:''' Siha Ashir ''(deceased)'' - Keeper of the Moon - Similarly to V'Rahn, Siha had left her tribe to experience the world outside of the usual traditions of Moon Keeper life and ended up in Ala Mhigo where she met and settled with her mate. They were both slain attempting to protect their children in the midst of the rebellion and the Garlean advance on Ala Mhigo.

'''Twin Sister:''' [[Lurial Vashir]] - Both Tiergan and Lurial were given more Hyur-sounding names to help them fit in more easily amongst the mostly Hyuran population. Their last name is a combination of Siha's family name and Rahn's tribe.

'''Aunt:''' V'ira ''(deceased)'' - Seeker of the Sun - V'Rahn's sister. She left their tribe along side him, eager to experience the world outside of its confines. She traveled with him to Ala Mhigo.

===<div style="background:#444363;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;">Romance</div>===
<br>
Tiergan is a man wary of romance. While he shared his bed with many during his time as a slave, very few of them were individuals he could say he loved. Now as a free man, the overwhelming tide of sensations that come with forging such bonds are far too strong and too raw, leaving him with the strong potential to lash out in one way or another. With a history defined mainly by violence, greed, and savage cruelty, he finds it to be too much of a risk for both himself and others, and desperately wants to wait until he's better adapted to his new life before attempting to court a lover.

Despite this, he's fallen into a relationship with a young healer named An'nai Tir'Atha, hesitantly trusting in the other miqo'te's belief that they can move behind what troubles him.

One is a healer specializing in the arcane while the other is a warrior with an aversion towards magic.

Yet beneath it all, Tiergan can see remnants of himself in the boy's eyes: a former-slave that is constantly being hunted - without a home, family, or a vast number of friends to count on. Because of this, Tiergan is fiercely protective over the youngling (much to An'nai's chagrin).

Though Tiergan acknowledges that he's fallen in love with the younger male, it is also all to apparent to him that their respective pasts make their union a dangerous one. The youth sparks something terrifying in Tiergan that makes control slip from his fingers and logic from his mind, and he holds a deep-seated fear that together he would only bring emotional or physical harm to the gentle healer.

Knowing just how vast and how deep Rook's connections run within Ul'dah, Tiergan considers it a somewhat negative thing that he has somehow fallen under the businessman's notice. The fact that Rook and Brynhilde appear to be friends is the one and only thing that gives Tiergan comfort.

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:40px; color:#FFFFFF">Rumors</div>==
=== Common Rumors ===

::*"That man? Ah, he's jus' a mercenary. Tends to pick jobs that mostly revolve around fightin' and beatin' the stuffing outta someone - but what mercenary doesn't these days?"
::*"I see that one wandering about Little Ala Mhigo from time to time. He doesn't speak much - just arrives, drops off food, supplies, and what have you to the people there - and leaves after exchanging words with only a few select individuals."
::*"Tiergan - eh? He used to be quite the successful gladiator at the Coliseum back in the day. Haven't seen him fight in a little over three years though."

=== Moderate Rumors ===

::*"Oh, he ''seems'' like the calm and collected sort, sure, but hit him in the back - ''hard'' - an' he fights like a demon unleashed!"
::*"Thal's balls! I used to bet on that man in the fightin' pits - the ones ''outside'' the Coliesum that the Brass Blades turn a blind eye too. Used t'create a right bloody spectacle whenever he stepped in the ring. Haven't seen him fight in some time though. Not sure what happened."
::*"I think he might have a sister? She works as an information broker in Ul'dah. Don't know if they particularly like each other though - no one's ever seen them spending much time together."
::*"I see that one leaving the city all the time. Sometimes it's just for a usual job or mission. Other times, he vanishes for days and sometimes comes back bloodied and bruised. He'll say he was simply on a rough job - but the look on his face says it was something much, much more sinister then that. Best not to keep close company with that one, I say."

=== Rare Rumors ===

::*"Well now, in my ''extensive'' collection of reports, we've managed to learn that a white-haired male miqo'te has reportedly been slaughtering entire groups of men and women. There are only a tiny handful of witnesses mind you, and half of them may not have really seen anything at all. The Immortal Flames and Brass Blades haven't bothered looking too deeply into the killings because they're all affiliated with a criminal group deep inside the Ul'dahn Underground. And it's hard to say who it could be - there's hundreds of white-haired male miqo'te running around after all."
::*"That one's a slave, or at least he used to be. I'd bet half my life-savings on it. Must've escaped too - there's no way his master would've let him run around like this. He earned his master quite a bit of money and his master ''never'' sells his slaves. They either stay with him, working for life - or he kills them off."
::*"I hear a criminal lord that goes by the name 'Omen' would pay quite the pretty gil to have him brought back alive. Seems that he's been messing with the man's business for a long time now."

=== Player Character Rumors ===

::*''(( Feel free to add something! Just give me a heads up when you do. ))''

::*'' "Tiergan is only person I ever meet who can truly be understanding. He is being everything . . . that I am not; brave, strong, independent . . . These are but a few of the reasons why I love him so much, even if he '''is''' having this irritating need to always be protecting me." [[An%27nai_Tir%27Atha]]

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:40px; color:#FFFFFF">History/Timeline</div>==

[[File:Tier pally.jpg|left|Tier pally.jpg]]

=== Childhood ===

Tiergan was seven when the Empire devastated Ala Mhigo. His parents were slain trying to defend their home and he was separated from his fraternal twin sister, Lurial, when slavers captured him along with several other Ala Mhigan refugees fleeing from the region.

Sold to a shrewd and wealthy merchant, Tiergan spent the next six years burrowing in mines and quarries, performing hard labour along with many other child-workers who had been bought for the same purpose. With each year that passed, the youngling grew more angry, vicious, and aggressive - making him difficult to control and risky to keep. His memories of life before the quarries were beginning to fade, but he still recalled the kind voice of his mother, the warm strength of his father, and the twin sister he'd been torn away from when the madness began.

Instead of putting the slave down and wasting an investment, the merchant eventually traveled to the Ul'dahn Black Markets and resold Tiergan as a potential gladiator slave to a secretive criminal lord known only as "Omen." The youth made his first kill not long after, when he was thrust into a room with another child of the same age and told that only one of them would be permitted to leave alive to become a gladiator.

The years that followed were a frenzied blur of harsh, rigorous training, brutal combat in illegal fighting arenas, and terrifying, nightmarish visions. Blackroot Rose leaves were used to give the youth a cruel, but lethal advantage towards the start of his 'career' and somnus was used to calm the boy afterwards, making him docile. The constant back and forth between frenzied uncontrollable violence and mind-numbing calm nearly turned the youngling into a shattered mess. However, as Tiergan grew more powerful in his own right, the use of Blackroot Rose became blessedly less frequent, eventually stopping all together.

With time, Lurial heard word of Tiergan and tracked him down. The twins found ways to meet and stay in contact, their strong sibling bond becoming unbreakable over time as they took solace in the fact the other had survived and they were not truly alone.

=== Adulthood ===

At the age of 17, Tiergan was moved into the adult slave pens. There, an unusual hierarchy was established where the strongest slave - designated as the "Alpha" - received special privileges and treatment in exchange for keeping all of the other slaves in line. The Alpha status was signified by a single red band around the upper arm and other slaves could fight the reigning Alpha with hopes of defeating them and taking their place.

Savagely clawing his way to the top, Tiergan reached Alpha status within a year. This allowed him not only the opportunity to embrace luxuries and pleasures he'd previously been denied, but it also allowed him more freedoms, occasionally offering him a glimpse of what life might have been like if he were not a slave. There were three other equally powerful contenders for the position. However, through a combination of luck and skill, the Tiergan managed to remain Alpha for three solid years until he lost the position to Zaius - a vicious, towering miqo'te with unparalleled strength and a sharp, calculating mind, who had only arrived within the pens a week before.

At first, Tiergan viewed Zaius with a great deal of resentment. After spending so much time at the top, the idea that someone could simply appear and defeat him within a week of arriving was infuriating. To make matters worse, the older, stronger male was often cruel and abrasive, mistreating Tiergan at every possible opportunity. Other slaves that had always fought Tiergan one-on-one in hopes of stealing his position, swiftly began ganging up on him in groups to exact revenge. Omen's men no longer regarded him with any measure of respect and he was denied all of the things he'd once enjoyed.

In his desperation to regain his position, Tiergan clashed with Zaius often, fighting with the other male over and over, until eventually a frenzied, tumultuous relationship developed. Gradually, the abuse Tiergan faced at the hands of others vanished as he fell under Zaius' protection. Even Omen's men hesitated to bring Tiergan any harm, his bond with Zaius swinging wildly between enemy, friend, and lover. Tiergan's emotions fell into conflict, his sense of pride making it difficult for Tiergan to see Zaius as anything other then a hated enemy or rival to be defeated... while Zaius' tendency to protect and defend him made it hard for Tiergan not to feel a little appreciation and even fondness for the older miqo'te.

It wasn't until sudden rioting erupted amongst the slaves and one of the walls to the pens exploded that Tiergan was eventually able to escape. With countless other slaves fighting each other and pouring out of the opening, Tiergan, Zaius, and many others were able to flee Omen's control. Tiergan later learned it was all orchestrated by her sister who had been planning to liberate him, but had no way of relaying the news. The gladiator-slave was finally free.

=== Present ===

Since his escape, Tiergan has become a mercenary, taking on whatever jobs he can to survive. He's also often seen around Little Ala Mhigo, delivering food and supplies to the people there. Hoping to evolve himself into something more then what he was in the past, the miqo'te jumped at the opportunity to learn the ways of Ul'dah's Sultansworn and trains rigorously to become a free paladin.

Despite Lurial's repeated offers to give him a place to stay, the former gladiator refuses, fearful of making her a target should Omen realise they are related to one another. He maintains a reasonably low profile, trying to avoid detection from Omen's men while doing everything in his power to sabotage the criminal lord's plans. His goal is to ultimately destroy his master's vast empire and eventually crush the man's throat under heel ... no matter what the cost.

<div style="background:#444363; font-size:40px; color:#FFFFFF">Character Connections</div>

The following characters may have the possibility of an RP link with Tiergan:

::*- A gladiator or anyone affiliated with the gladiator's guild - they would recognise Tiergan a fellow gladiator who was successful in the coliseum. He was known for wielding a sword and a steel, clawed gauntlet when fighting and wore a brass gorget around his neck.
::*- Anyone has ties to the Ul'dahn criminal underground - they might have seen Tiergan brawling it out in illegal combat pits. If they frequented them often enough or had deep enough ties, they would also know he was a gladiator-slave.
::*- If your character has really REALLY strong ties to the Ul'dahn criminal underground - they would know he was owned by "Omen." They would also know that Omen rarely, if ever, releases slaves and that this means Tiergan has likely escaped.
::*- Fellow mercenaries - they may have worked together at one point or another. Or they would recognise Tiergan as another mercenary who often took jobs that involved either violence, killing, or guarding something.
::*- Ala Mhigans, Ala Mhigan refugees, and people living or working in Little Ala Mhigo.
::*- Fellow slaves - anyone who was enslaved shortly after the Garlean Empire struck down Ala Mhigo, was a child-laborer, or was a slave may have connections to Tiergan.
::*- Bounty hunters.
