Personality:
Tius carries himself with an ethereal grace, his every action radiating a sense of calm, humility, and unwavering devotion. His behavior, reminiscent of an angel or saint, earns him reverence as one of the closest beings to divinity among the God-Kin. Tius is best known for his piety, which is demonstrated through fervent prayers, sacred rituals, and an unwavering moral compass. He is also recognized for his gallantry, as he valiantly defends the weak and upholds justice with unparalleled courage.
However, beneath his angelic demeanor lies the resolute authority of the chosen vessel of Ausvinthus, the God of Retribution, Protection, and Judgment. When duty calls, Tius acts not only as the messenger of divine will but also as the executor of Ausvinthus's wrath. His judgment is absolute, and when provoked, he transforms into a force of unrelenting power and fury, wielding divine vengeance with chilling precision. This duality of serene benevolence and fearsome wrath makes Tius a figure of both adoration and awe among mortals and God-Kin alike.

Character Template:

Unparalleled Purity, Virtue, and Chivalry
Appearance:
This once beautiful boy, is now a haunting figure, marred and disfigured by the catastrophic toll of the Well of Souls. The corruption has ravaged his body, leaving him missing his left cheekbone, upper jaw, and the entirety of his left arm below the elbow. Yet, where his left eye once was, an ethereal, holy eye now resides—a radiant orb as intense and unyielding as the glow of the sun, shining with divine light that pierces the hearts of onlookers and seems to see through to their very souls.
The left side of his face is a chilling yet awe-inspiring sight: his teeth remain perpetually exposed where flesh once covered, while a golden, holy miasma seeps from the edges of his disfigurement. This divine vapor shrouds him like a sacred aura, shimmering faintly with an unearthly light and filling the air with a sense of both sanctity and dread. The scars and darkened veins that spread across his damaged visage pulse faintly, as though tethered to some higher, otherworldly force.
Tius is the shortest of the royal imperial family, a stark contrast to his imperiously towering siblings whose physical dominance seems almost godlike. Yet, his stature, slightly above average for a human, commands undeniable respect and reverence. When the need arises, where his left arm is absent, an angelic arm manifests in its place—a luminous, semi-corporeal limb made of divine energy, its radiant form glowing with celestial power. This arm, wielded in battle, strikes with unerring precision and a force that speaks of his connection to the divine.
Side Notes:
- Tius is the only child sired from the union between the Emperor and Gailavira.
Born into a politically significant yet tumultuous family, Tius represents the sole legacy of the Emperor and Empress Gailavira's controversial union. His existence ties him deeply to the empire's complex history, though his relationship with its ideals is fraught with tension.
- PTSD is beginning to form from his time in Tjentapet during the War.
The horrors Tius witnessed and endured during the War for The Well in Tjentapet—vividly remembered through the screams of comrades, the shadow of monstrous foes, and the unrelenting pressures of leadership—have begun to leave indelible marks on his psyche. Sleepless nights, flashbacks, and a growing sense of detachment now haunt the Imperial Prince.
- The Empress, Gailavira, was thirteen when she birthed Tius.
Gailavira's youth at the time of Tius's birth is a tragic footnote in his story. Her early pregnancy reflects the political machinations and societal pressures of the empire, forcing her into a role she was unprepared for. This event forever shaped her relationship with both Tius and the imperial court.
- Tius is close friends with the Obsidian Prince, Aaheru of Nekhreris.
The bond between Tius and Aaheru transcends mere politics, rooted in mutual respect and shared burdens. As fellow God-Like individuals, their friendship represents a rare alliance in a fractured world. Together, they share secrets, strategies, and the weight of their divine callings.
- His rune hammer, Alhvaharyis, named for his ancestor, was forged by Molvayas Yril'Lysaen, famed Drow blacksmith, as a gift for his lifelong crusade.
Alhvaharyis is more than a weapon; it is a symbol of purpose and destiny. Crafted by Molvayas Yril'Lysaen, whose works are prized for their unparalleled artistry, the two-handed hammer is engraved with runes of power, imbued with divine blessings, and tailored to support Tius in his battles against darkness.
- Nicknamed 'Infernal Prince' for being the only heir to the Empire with hair the hue of fire.
Tius's fiery red hair, a rarity among his kin, earned him the moniker 'Infernal Prince.' Though initially a superficial observation, the nickname took on layered meanings, referencing his tumultuous upbringing, his intense personality, and the divine spark within him.
- World-famous, Tius is known far and wide thanks to ballads such as Dance of the Manticore and Cobra, Demons Gate, War for the Well, and Twilight of the Necropolis.
The exploits of Tius have become legendary, immortalized in epic ballads sung across taverns and courts alike. These tales recount his daring battles, his strategic brilliance, and his confrontations with unearthly horrors, captivating the imagination of those who hear them.
- He is a God-Kin and is the Chosen Vessel of Ausvinthus, God of Judgment, Retribution and Protection.
As the rare Chosen Vessel of Ausvinthus, Tius wields divine powers that inspire awe and fear. His role as a God-Kin marks him as a living extension of the god's will, his actions embodying divine justice. The only other known God-Kin, Aaheru of Nekhreris , deepens his isolation yet also cements his place in a cosmic order.
- Despite what is widely believed, Tius is not affiliated with the brutal imperialism and colonialism of the Audvakrian Empire.
Although born into the imperial lineage, Tius has rejected the empire's oppressive practices, distancing himself from its campaigns of conquest. His values align more with liberation and justice, fueling rumors and dividing public opinion about his true allegiance.
- He has been removed from the imperial line of succession.
Political intrigue and Tius's own moral opposition to imperial policies have led to his formal removal from the line of succession. This exile spares him from the burdens of rule but also strips him of protection and resources, forcing him to navigate life as an outcast prince.
- As a young boy, Tius was taken and raised among the Dwarves and Men of the Templar Order of the Sol and Crescent, owing to his status as a Chosen Vessel of Ausvinthus.
Recognizing his divine purpose, the Templar Order of the Sol and Crescent took Tius from the imperial court to prepare him for his sacred role. Among the disciplined knights and wise Dwarven masters, he learned the ways of faith, combat, and moral judgment. This upbringing instilled in him a deep sense of justice and honor, setting him apart from the imperial traditions of his birth.
