"I guess i just got lost being someone else,
I tried to kill the pain
But nothing ever helped
I left myself behind
Somewhere along the way
Hoping to come back around
and find myself some day"

Who i am
Description:
Cerberus is a muscular orange tiger, covered in scars. He also wears golden earings, the shapes and sizes vary. His eyes are a golden color, and he has a white underbelly.
Life Left Behind:
--Cerberus was born along with his sister, Venus, to Jux and Holland. Not to soon afterwords Jux's brother, Six, had a litter giving Cerberus three cousins by the names of Taj, Holly, and Airron. Since they shared a pride Cerberus grew close to his family, especially his uncle Six and cousin Airron. However trouble began to brew between his father and his uncle. Venus woke him and told him Holland and Six were off to "settle" something. The two cubs raced off after their loved ones...
Cerberus trailed after Venus with a worried expression. Holland and Six? Fighting? It didn't seem possible. The bubble of water masked the sounds of the two males at first, but as they neared the words became clear over the sound. "You disgusting brute, using my sister!" "I've done nothing, you're just mad that Jux loves her mate more than her little brother." "How dare you-" The sounds following were horrible. His snout poked out of the foliage beside Venus. As the two fought the air was filled with snarls, growls, yelps, and something between a scream and a roar. Venus let out a small gasp as Six seized Holland's throat. In the instant Venus shot out at him crying out for him to stop. It seemed like a dream, but it was a nightmare. The sky thundered with the breaking of the storm as it reached the area. With it came the fallen rain from farther upstream. It was in the instant that a wall of water snaked from around the bend. A flood, a flash flood. As the wall passed over them they were gone. His eyes watered and widened as he took a hesitant step back. Cerberus turned and ran from the nightmare as unbelievable as a dream.
--After the deaths of Six, Holland, and Venus the family was in distress. Cerberus was forgotten by his mother as Jux fell into a depression that resulted in her death. Death by heartbreak is hard to witness and takes a toll on the mind. Cerberus would have followed suit if it weren't for Airron.
--Taj and Holly both died from an unknown disease, falling asleep and never waking. Airron said his good byes and left. He merely said he couldn't stand to stay around such a bad atmosphere, covered in memories no one should have to re-live everytime they close their eyes. Thus Cerberus was alone and after years of living in the territory he finally decided to leave and search out not only Airron, but a way to soothe the pain in his heart and the nightmares in his mind.
My Understanding:
The personality of this tiger can be summed up in one word: conflict. Cerberus can either be good or bad. Light or Dark. He calls his good self "Laelaps" and his bad self "Cerberus." He is obsessed that he is evil and a monster so he goes by Cerberus the most. Whenever he does a good deed he will claim that is was Laelaps who did it, not him. When in Cerberus form he can hear the voice of Laelaps. When in Laelaps form he can hear the voice of Cerberus.
Likes: to be alone
Dislikes: his spilt personality
