He’s the strong, military type, and is generally steadfast in his resolve, and unswayable in judgement. Thrax tends to be both feared and respected, and with good reason.[/indent] [color=000000][b][u]Height [/u][/b][/color] [indent]6’2[/indent] [color=000000][b][u]Weight [/u][/b][/color] [indent] 13 Stone [/indent] [color=000000][b][u]Appearance [/u][/b][/color] [indent] Thrax is a tall, strongly-built man, with a hard jaw, and broad shoulders. He carries himself proudly, and is usually well-groomed and smartly dressed. His muscular form is covered in scars, which serve as an old reminder of his military service, and a testament to his endurance. Now middle-aged, Thrax’s brown hair is beginning to grey, with streaks of silver slipping in around the edges. Thrax has a face which could be considered handsome, but his skin is undeniably coarse and weathered. [/indent] [center] [color=000000][b][u]Positive Traits:[/u][/b][/color] [/center] [indent][list][*] Driven- Thrax is an extremely driven man, and rarely lets anything, or anyone, get in the way of him achieving what he has set his sights on. [*] Stalwart- an ardent and reliable sort, if Thrax believes in a cause, he will pledge himself to it, without question. [*] Peak Physique- Thrax has kept up his strict fitness regime over the years, and as such he is just a well-built and active in his fifties as he was thirty years ago. [/list][/indent] [center] [color=000000][b][u]Negative Traits:[/u][/b][/color] [/center] [indent][list][*] Jumps the gun- If Thrax has a bad first impression of someone, he’s very unlikely to change his mind about them. [*] Headstrong- Once Thrax has set his mind on something, it is beyond difficult to convince him that he’s wrong. [*] Fanatic- Thrax’s devotion to what he believes to be right borders on fanaticism, and tends to override his moral compass. [/list][/indent] [color=000000][b][u]Personality Description[/u][/b][/color] [indent] Thrax is a stubborn man, with a grim determination, and fervent belief in the prevailing of justice, no matter the cost. He can be courteous, and even kind at times, but will never let pleasantries prevent him from doing his duty. Over the years, the cool charisma of Thrax’s youth has slowly eroded away, making him a much colder man than he once was. Thrax still retains an element of his wit and humour, but it is buried beneath years of service, and an increasingly soured view of life itself. Thrax has lost faith in humanity as a whole, and instead puts his stock in specific individuals, believing that the future can be shaped by a select elite, and not the mass population. The more Thrax experiences of mankind, the higher regard he tends to hold these views in, for as Winston Churchill once said, “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter”. Thrax is not completely without compassion, however, and still believes in the goodness of the human heart, even if he has come to view it as more of an exception than the prevailing rule amongst the people of the New Earth. Above all else, Thrax’s devotion to the greater good will always be his most prominent trait, and one which he will hold on to, no matter the cost [/indent] [/center] [center] [color=000000][b][u]Quirks[/u][/b][/color] [/center] [indent][list][*]After a lifetime of smoking, Thrax has a slight psychological twitch that will result in him absentmindedly clamping two fingers together as if he were clutching a cigarette, even when he is not. [*] When frustrated, Thrax will tend to clench his fists and grind his teeth. [*]Whilst by no means a drunkard, Thrax has a fondness for dark rum, which he considers to be his favourite alcoholic beverage. [/list][/indent] [center] [color=000000][b][u]Specialties [/u][/b][/color] [/center] [indent][list][*] Fitness- Thrax keeps himself fit and strong, always being in fighting form. [*] Tactical Mind- Thrax is a crafty and cunning man, using his wits to outsmart his enemies far more than his brute strength. [*] Crack Shot- Thrax has a keen eye, which is reflected in his skill with firearms. [/list][/indent] [center] [color=000000][b][u]Weaknesses[/u][/b][/color] [/center] [indent][list][*] Stubbornness- Despite being quite the tactician, once Thrax has set his mind on something, there's almost no chance of convincing him to change it. [*] Cyclothymia Disorder- Thrax is subject to mood swings, depressive episodes, and occasional hypomania. [*] Smoker- Thrax is addicted to cigarettes, and has never been able to shake that single vice, despite his best efforts over the years.

[/list][/indent] [center] [color=000000][b][u]Fears [/u][/b][/color] [/center] [indent][list][*] Bitterness- Thrax is well aware of his own increasingly bleak worldview, and dreads the idea that he might one day become completely and utterly devoid of happiness and humour. [*] All for nothing- Thrax harbours doubts about his work and accomplishments, and fears that it will all have been for naught once he passes away. [*] Fragility- As Thrax grows older, he has become increasingly worried about his own fragility, and has grown to dread the aging process. [/list][/indent] [center] [color=000000][b][u]Secret[/u][/b][/color] [/center] [indent] After suffering under the neglectful eye of the former Captain Overseer, Robert McGarth, Thrax orchestrated a successful assassination attempt, so that he might ascend to the old Captain’s position, and begin reshaping the colony in a manner that he saw fit. [/indent] [center] [color=000000][b][u]Goal(s)[/u][/b][/color] [/center] [indent] Above anything, Thrax wants to make a difference. He wants to reshape humanity, and usher in a new age of peace and security, to the benefit of all mankind. [/indent] [center] [color=000000][b][u]History[/u][/b][/color] [indent] Despite coming from a well off, upper class family, Tiberius Thrax has spent his entire life working, and has always been a passionately driven man. The majority of his education was spent at the Queen Elizabeth Royal Military School, and the then young man seemed to be groomed for life in the military from a young age.Thrax always had something of a quiet charm to him, and a charismatic streak which seemed to suddenly flare to life during times of crisis. Eventually enlisting in the British Army, Thrax had a distinguished career within the military; having reached the rank of Lieutenant-Commander by the time Yellowstone Erupted. In the aftermath of the Doomsday event, Thrax migrated to TRAPPIST-1, where is military accomplishments afforded him a position within the Overseers of the newly established penal colony. Thrax was quick to excel on TRAPPIST-1, quelling unrest, and working fervently to maintain peace within the penal colony. Despite his success, Thrax constantly clashed with Robert McGarth, the then Captain Overseer of the colony. Whereas Thrax was unrelenting in his resolve, McGarth was lenient, and even susceptible to corruption at the worst of times. No matter how hard Thrax and the other Overseers worked, McGarth’s leniency, and lack of caring put massive amounts of strain on the Overseers, and it soon became clear that the colony was destined for failure under McGarth’s neglectful watch. Deciding that working under McGarth was no longer an option, Thrax orchestrated a controlled riot amongst the inmates, resulting in McGarth’s death. Ascending to the rank of Captain Overseer, Thrax has since used the riot as a means to further clamp down on the colony, and tighten the Overseer’s grip. [/indent] [/center]
