Personality
Tio lives by a simple philosophy; living is all about feelings. People amass money and power so they can get things that make them feel good, help people because it makes them feel good, and fight and kill each other because it makes them feel good. The best way to live life is to fill it with as many unique and pleasurable feelings as possible, and this philosophy is quite clearly reflected by Tio in everything he does.
When you first meet Tio, the thing that stands out about him perhaps the most is his bubbly enthusiasm. He is energetic and youthful, full of good cheer, ambition and adventurous spirit, and always seems to go with his own flow in a slightly childish manner, making jokes or other carefree remarks as he does his own thing. There is a touch of eccentricity in him, reflected in his flair for the dramatic and harmless love for his own appearance, which tends to make events he is a part of spiral out of control. His game is all about entertainment, and it shows in his fondness for mischief, lies and flirting as well as his adamant refusal to do anything that he believes will be even a little boring, such as honest work or attending lectures. It is also fairly obvious after just a few minutes in his company that Tio is the unfortunate combination of a fortune-seeker and a bit of a fool, which together grant him the uncanny ability to end up right in the middle of trouble, intentionally or not.
However if one gets the chance to really get to know him it slowly starts to become obvious that underneath his bright attitude lie some very dark desires. The touch of ambition and love of fortune that at first just seem to be a part of his charm are really just the tip of the iceberg of the intense greed hidden within him. Tio is a man of desire who covets everything the world has to offer; wealth, fame, sex, power, knowledge, he wants it all, and has dreams of one day becoming a king of undeniable power. His free-spirited nature and mischievousness is part of the insecurity over his identity and fear of persecution that came with being born a Yludih, and those two qualities have created inside of him a deep-seated jealousy for those with power or a clear, defined identify. With desires such as these it’s really no surprise that a fierce, cold anger sleeps behind his usual cheerfulness.
But despite these bad points Tio isn’t really a bad person, just a pretty chaotic one. He may not be particularly charitable or empathetic to the feelings of people he doesn’t know, but when he comes across people in need of aid will usually do something to help them out, even if it’s only a little. And though he’s not above fighting if the need arises he doesn’t wish to harm people, and will try to settle things peacefully if it seems like he can.
The experiences he went through before his apotheosis, particularly those brought about by the multitude of curses he once possessed, helped Tio to decide what sort of an Immortal he wants to be. He does not support any side in the Immortal's war, instead choosing to align only with himself and stay out of the conflict between his new race unless the opportunity to entertain himself emerges. He has also become far more fascinated with curses after discovering that they fall under his domain, and considers them to be opportunities for the people they afflict to grow stronger and wiser through the hardship of accepting or overcoming them. In light of this Tio takes a
"tough-love" approach to those who follow or pray to him, refusing to ever directly solve their problems for them but instead helping, guiding or advising them on how to solve their problems on their own. As a rule he never gives his blessing to those who need it, saying that if they need his power to solve their problems they aren't worthy of it. Only those who are willing to stand up for themselves and act on their own will have his support.
Having achieved the eternal life he desired during his mortal years, Tio now seeks to realise his potential as an Immortal. Because of his domain over curses he believes that it is his duty to protect, guide or punish those who are cursed. His ambition is to create a haven where he and all who are forsaken by his kin can find safety, comfort and happiness. However such a haven requires money, and so Tio's plan is to amass an incredible sum of wealth in order to fund his newfound project.
