Profile Citizen-00188: Tenet

Owned by Sarracenia

Max size for Kirunhounds (shire horse). Quite tall, too, because of his neck making him appear larger. Around 4 feet tall at the shoulder, but his long neck makes eye level above 6 feet. Yes, 1/3 of his height is neck. He is perfectly proportional...

His coat is very short and thin, providing insulation against the Veldt's heat and the moderate winter night chill.


Tenet is a strict individual that holds himself to a very high bar, even if many others disagree with his morals. He sees himself as superior, and acts as the judge, jury, and executioner whenever someone goes awry from his own expectations. This has led to many unsavory events in the past, which have only festered and strengthened the bond Tenet has with his tenets.

One faithful day, Tenet had responsibility shoved upon him in the form of an orphaned Balikin egg. Even someone as judicious and self-serving as him couldn't abandon an infant, thus Tenet unwillingly adopted the unborn creature.
As time went on, Tenet grew increasingly attached to the egg and is proud to call the hatchling his daughter, Alula. He's sworn to treat her better than his parents treated him, teaching her how to survive in the Veldt without being cruel.
It makes him sick to imagine his Seventh Tenet may be wrong regarding her.


Tenet's Tenets, the rules by which he lives:

1, "Weaklings deserve to perish. You can not depend on others to keep you safe." 
2, "Those who have done wrong deserve to be punished. Redemption will backfire."
3, "Friends of enemies are also enemies, but friends of friends are not friends."
4, "Trust nobody. Keep friends close, enemies close, strangers close. Always be on guard."
5, "Trust can never be earned back. Betrayal causes permanent scars."
6, "Those who hurt others will only hurt others more and more. They can not be fixed, only stopped."
7, "No one can ever be purely good. No matter how nice someone seems, everyone hides something."
8, "Most tasks are best carried out alone. If you want something done right, do it yourself."
9, "The wilds can not be tamed, but they can be conquered. The non-speaking creatures are lesser and should be exploited to further your own greatness."
10, "Above all, survival is key. What are rules, if there are no lives to follow them? Do whatever you can to live; put yourself before anyone else."
