It keeps his mind and spirit clear and is a crucial component of his training among other meditative practices.

Whatever areas of clean, natural water he finds among his travels are almost always visited. Aged wine is his other luxury of his and enjoys a wide variety of such on an almost day to day basis. Even more evident is his affinity for traveling. Tharr is in constant search of adventure whether to seek worthy combatants, or simply a change of scenery to further his wisdom. Dislikes: Weak or inexperienced opponents irritate Tharraleos to the point of boredom. He also despises losing a battle only if he doesn't try with all his might. Modern technology is also something he despises, although this may pass much like it has with previous advancements in technology. Phones, computers and anything of the like are useless tools for Tharraleos and while he does have the ability to adapt to them quite easily, he prefers to ignore them entirely. Personality: Despite his affinity for combat, Tharraleos is rather amicable towards many issues, occasionally to the point of apathy. He is habitually unconcerned with the problems of others simply out of sheer disinterest. Tharr is a stubborn beast who believes his way of approaching things to be ideal. It is not easy to change his mind, just as it isn't easy to convince him he is wrong or he should care about a particular issue. He’s largely content to let the troubles of the world pass him by and doesn’t bother with issues other than his own. Tharraleos feels at peace with himself and will assist those who grasp his intrigue to the best of his ability. He however, is still mostly indifferent with the entire perspective compared to his objects of interest. He overall does what’s necessary for survival and holds little care for anything at all. If Tharr has spent an abundance of time in one place, restlessness will likely ensue and he will yearn for the opportunity to travel. He has a desire to see the world and experience its mystery. Tharraleos seldom has a destination and revels in the journey itself above all else. He often has trouble maintaining focus and interest on a single topic. He commonly multitasks and gets bored quickly unless the subject appeals to him enough. It’s difficult to anger him as he takes very few slights to heart. Notwithstanding his docile nature, Tharraleos will lash out swiftly, violently, and with intent to end the problem for good if provoked. He has a very clear sense of ownership, property, and commitment with notable emphasis on these traits. Breaking a vow to him is often an unforgivable offense. Undeniably honorable, he lives by his words and this designation holds great merit. He is extremely confident, though in a more stoic and less outspoken manner. However, he has a strong sense of self-worth and may express it in a particularly abrasive form of self-righteousness. His hubris often scales with his Pride reserves. He generally views himself above others and often uses the term “mortal” to those he perceives as below him. He's well aware of his hypocrisy as Tharr is no immortal being and has only a much extended lifespan. Even with instances of high amounts of hubris and strength, he never proclaims to harbor any Godly or otherworldly power. In actuality, he detests such a notion with no intention of seeking it. His prideful disposition extends further than this as Tharr views himself as a beautiful creature, frequently grooming himself to maintain his appearance and almost always admires himself should the opportunity present itself. There can even be moments where he can become frustrated at an individual if they cause any disorder in his appearance, more so if said individual is aware of this fact and their actions are intentional. He has a natural warrior-like mentality, preferring to fight stronger opponents rather than weaker ones and generally shows reluctance to fight those he considers weaker than himself. Taking one’s life is often perceived as an act of humility as he harbors no jurisdiction on an individual's life. Although this is bypassed under certain circumstances or if it's simply the only option. Tharraleos has incredible amounts of courage, both physically and mentally. That being said, he has the ability to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty, or intimidation with no problem. He can easily face physical pain, hardship, death, or threat of death. He acts rightly in the face of popular opposition, shame, scandal, or discouragement. Tharraleos is not one to usually take the role of leader. When applicable, he more enjoys being the backbone or enforcer of a group. If this position is given to him and he has no other option than to accept, his natural born leadership is shown. This is when his fondness for impassioned speeches is seen to boost the morale of his followers and to bestow them his immense knowledge.

Typically under the guise of a bipedal Suppressed Form, these inhibitors could be relinquished to unleash the monstrous quadruped of the Rampant Form. Since he was a young hatchling, Tharraleos was diligently trained to become a fierce combatant and hunter, learning a variety of fighting styles and weapon proficiency. From his results, it was clear he was a natural born fighter and basked in the glory of battle, even if his overall power was objectively average compared to others. As he neared adulthood many decades later, he acted on his desires to explore the infinite vastness of the world and departed his home. Whilst living this nomadic lifestyle, he’d continue to hone his skills by partaking in numerous mercenary jobs, bounty hunting, bodyguarding among other chances to throw his strength around. As age began to set about three quarters through his life, he began to undergo the elusive mutation of his kin that nullifies their ability to transform and disfigures them in different ways. After an agonizing century long metamorphosis of perpetual suffering, he gradually formed into the Tauric dual-bodied combatant in the current day. Along with that, not only did it reverse his aging to return him to his prime, but halted it altogether as well. Initially viewing this as a curse and even longing for the relief of death during his transformation, this mostly subsided for some time afterwards. Though as the years went on he eventually noted just how capable this newish body was and developed a newfound sense of confidence with his mutation. Never in one place for too long, Tharrelos lives on and aimlessly roams the globe constantly seeking an opportunity for life’s next journey. [/hider]
