Tercero Robles

Personality

‣ General

• Tercero is rule-abiding and believes in structures of power. The events of his life have challenged this core part of his personality, and it is a central source of tension in him.
• He is made nervous by chaotic situations and will try to get out of them as quickly as possible.
• While Tercero is highly intelligent and trained to think tactically, he is not a good improvisor. Given enough time to strategize, he can come up incredible plans, but on the spot he freezes up and is horribly useless.
• He is private and professional, and knows how to keep a secret.
• Ultimately, Tercero wants to be part of a place with familiar structures to him (laws, hierarchy, similar value system, etc).

‣ Expression

• Speech: He has a moderate Spanish accent, and is fluent in Common (English), Spanish, and Portuguese.
• Scent: Varied due to his nomadic status, but underlying hints of oak and charcoal.

‣ Opinions

• Likes: schedules, consistency, scholarship, reading, writing, prose, puzzles
• Dislikes: chaos, unpredictability, violence, wandering, thoughtless or inconsiderate people
• Biases: Tercero does not think well of religion, cults, or places/groups that take advantage of people (e.g. gambling places). Although raised to look down on feral lifestyles and people, his travels have helped open his eyes to the practicalities of these forms. Nevertheless, he is most comfortable with "civilized" behavior and cultures.
• Spirituality: Tercero was raised, like most Onubans, to adhere to the teachings of The Lantern. He attended all spiritual services like a good boy (mostly because his father would've boxed his ears if he skipped them). Tercero doesn't put much stock into the faith, or any faith, and his experiences have reinforced this view.

Relationships

‣ Familial

• Tercero looked up to his mother and sought to emulate her by following her professional path. He does have some issues with her being largely absent from his childhood and leaving most of the rearing to his father.
• Tercero accepted his father as the figure of authority in his life, but never felt close to him emotionally. He regards his father like a colleague rather than a family member.
• Tercero was closest to Valero growing up, and the two of them remained good friends in adulthood despite going down very different paths (Tercero chose to pursue a political position and Valero chose a path of labor). Second to Valero was Baudelio, who was the most emotionally immature of the sons but pure-hearted and kind. Baudelio sought to integrate into Court society and find himself a mate, which the brothers all supported since they were mostly concerned with their pursuits.
• Dimas distanced himself from the rest of them early on, standing out as the golden child with the most promise. This facade was shattered when Tercero discovered his secret, and his life was irreversibly changed.

‣ Key

• Serafina Amaranthe: Accidental partners in crime. Tercero and Serafina became close out of circumstance. Their relationship remains ambiguous, although that hard line has softened more or less since their arrival to New Caledonia.
