Protective/Fatherly

"It'll be alright...Papa is here."
Krios once cared about no one but himself, until he met the love of his life and had cubs. Since then he has lost his mate, and has become very protective of his only family left. He protects all cubs, no matter the empire or species, and feels obligated to be sort of a fatherly type to most smaller/younger cats.

Distant/Easily-Distracted

"H-huh? Oh...sorry, i was lost in thought."
Since the death of his mate and running away from the only home and family known to him, he has become very distant. Memories often times fill his mind so much he looses track of time or what he's doing or talking about.

Calm

"Hey there"

Because of his training in the military, he has learned to be calm in stressful situations. Often making him seem like he has no fear or emotion, when really he has emotion to spare. He has developed the bad habit of hiding his emotions, which often leads him to turn more and more closed off and grumpy.

Fierce/Harsh


" What are you looking at?"

Again, because of his military background, he has learned to be calm...but also be fierce. He wont hesitate to start a fight if need be. He also has a quite harsh side to him when he's not around his cubs. And often gets on the bad sides of many cats.

Cold/Serious

" Don't give me that foolishness"

Since loosing his mate he has grown to become a cold and serious male. Of course he always tries his hardest to be positive around his cubs, he wont usually try to do that around other cats, and often ends up pushing them away or making bad first impressions.

HISTORY

Krios, or Tiran, was born in Rome, his mother was a breeder, and his father was a hunter. His father big for an ocelot, and was praised for his size by the people. His mother was small but beautiful. The humans that owned Tiran's parents met and decided it would be a good idea for them to mate. He was born to a litter of three boys and one girl. He was the smallest of the boys, and a disappointment to his family, for they wanted big hunters, therefore Tiran was shipped off to Massilia at a very young age. 

Once in Massilia he was locked up in some human's basement, getting minimal food and water, until someone bought Tiran from that awful human. With his new owner, he trained to become a hunter. He grew close to his owner and was so happy that he was finally out of that horrid basement and training to become a hunter. But soon he realized that the hunters had a way of life that Krios did not like, a sense of 'kill or be killed', and he did not like it. About a year into his training, his human master died, and he was owned by an abusive human, known for whipping his cats until they bled. But thankfully this master didn't want him to be a hunter, he transferred Krios over to the Military, which to him, had a way better feel of it all. For the Military was made to protect, instead of made to kill and capture, like the hunters. Thankfully Tiran didn't get whipped much for he kept to the rules and worked hard, but a few other cats owned by the same human got badly hurt. He trained hard and soon was praised by the people...for even though he was small, he could fight. But being as small as he was also gave him an advantage, for he knew most cats underestimated him, but that would give him the opportunity to prove them wrong...and he often did. His Master soon changed once again, to a young man. Tiran didn't like the man, for he gave no interest in Tiran or his life in the military and made Tiran move to the town of Portia. And soon Tiran learned to hate all humans, and tried to stay away from them as much as possible. 

After a few years of being in the military, he had made a few friends and a few enemies, but eventually settled into his life. He met a girl, the prettiest girl in the whole world...or at least, to him. He loved her with all his heart, and she loved him. A few months after declaring they're mates, they had cubs. Three beautiful cubs, two girls and one boy. They were so happy, and Tiran couldn't think of anything that could take that happiness away.

But soon he learned that anything could be taken away....
As the empire cats struck Massilia city, both Tiran and his mate fought in the war, trying to protect the city, their cubs, and each other. At first they fought together, but the were separated i the midst of the war, and when the war was over...he learned his mate was killed in the battle. He had never felt loss like this....and the worst part was he had to go home to his cubs, and tell them they had no mother. When Tiran went home to his cubs, he couldn't bear to live in the city any longer, for everything reminded him of his mate and how the hunters caused her death. Tiran gathered his cubs late a couple nights after the war, and escaped the city. He swore he would never go back to the city, for the hunters was the cause of all that death of the war...including his beloved Aeliana. He changed his name to Krios, so that he and his cubs could start fresh, an hopefully have a better life. 

A day after the family left the city, he found an unconscious female, that seemed to be apart of the war from the scratches on her pelt. He dragged her back to his makeshift den, which happened to be an old fox den, and helped her regain her health. Once she woke, she told him that her name was Cerelia and that she was heading to a place called Ice empire. Cerelia invited Krios and his cubs to join her in the empire. She told him it was where everyone was treated as if they were family, even the newer members of the empire. He thought about it long and hard, and decided that was the best decision for his cubs, they would be safest under the protection of a whole empire. He hoped this was the right decision...for his cubs were the only family he had left, and he would do anything to protect them.

Coming home

    Krios wandered off of the Ice empire territory to where he got lost. He looked around to see if there are any cats around, suddenly he saw a flash, it was a strange cat. It was one of the hunters! With Krios's training in the Military, he tried to fight, but he was no match for him. The hunter was able to grab him and throw him in a cage.
    Krios, all chained up, waiting for the gaurds to take him back to his prision cell. When a gaurd came, Krios saw a chance that he could escape. Using what he could remember from Military training, he went after the gaurd, and the gaurd went back at him. Krios, used the gaurd's colllar to free himself from the chains. Fortunately, the chains broke, he ran as fast as he could back to Massilia. One night later he appeard back to the Ice empire, happy that he had made it back home
