"I am older than you, and even I feel there are ways in which I need to mature," Tiberius wrote.

"Well I think I'm gorwn up enough. I have a job, I know how to cook, and I can take care of myself. Who cares if I still get toys and watch cartoons?"Jackie asked.

"Perhaps it's some of your mannerisms that are not grown up," Tiberius wrote.

Jackie shrugged. "I dunno. It doesn't make any sense to me."She said.

Tiberius whimpered a bit and gave a saddened look to Jackie. He was trying to explain something, but she wasn't listening. ...But maybe Tiberius was just nagging in the dirt.

"So what's your family like?"Jackie asked, deciding to change the subject.

"My dad is kind of a fierce warrior," Tiberius wrote.
"He was the Greatbeast before I was.
He was revered for his savagery.
He thinks I'm too soft.
He barely even treats me like his son.
My mother, however, is very loving."

"Oh.... uh... sorry to here that."Jackie said. "If it helps any, being able to crush someone's head isn't everything in life. And your dad's kind of narrow minded to think like that."Jackie said.

"What?" Tiberius wrote. Tiberius kind of seemed shocked about something.
"But that's what I live for.
My job is to hunt creatures.
It doesn't matter how kind you are
to deer or other prey animals.
That doesn't catch dinner.
The feeling that nothing can challenge you...
is what my dad always prided...
as a Greatbeast."

"Well, it's not everything."Jackie said. "If you're a big jerk who thinks he's the best at his job no ones going to like you. and if you pride yourself on how tough you are, eventually something would show up that's tougher."Jackie said. "I mean, there's a story from my village where there's a big dragon. He thinks he's the strongest most dangerous thing in the world and abuses his power. Then a bigger, stronger dragon shows up to protect everyone that the other dragon was a jerk to, and it fought off the other dragon. And everybody else liekd the new dragon that was nicer than the first."Jackie said.

"Deep down, I feel like
our society has a similar story.
...But with us Greatbreast," Tiberius wrote.
"Maybe I could be what my father could not be."

OOC: I am terrible with making characters that aren't goody-goody.

Oop: It's cool I have difficulty rp'ing jerk characters


"Exactly."Jackie said. "You might not be the big really mean destructive thing your dad was, but you're still really big and strong, and you can protect people."Jackie said.

"But I'm not my father," Tiberius wrote.
"If you saw him as a Greatbeast,
you'd probably soil your pajamas.
They think I have to live up to him.
...But no one thinks I can."

"Well if you don't want to be like your dad then don't try. Try to better then him in your own way."Jackie suggested.

Oop: Hey I got an idea for the story.

"I'm not sure how," Tiberius wrote.

OOC: Sure, let's hear it.

"Well start out by being a better person. Generally being nicer and more helpful then your dad is."Jackie said.


Oop: Maybe the villain of the rp would figure out how to make his own great beasts?

OOC: I don't really like or dislike that idea to be honest, but... Meh. I honestly don't have anything better planned, so we could try it. Though we might need to work out the details.

"Is there any way I can help you?" Tiberius wrote.

"Not really. And in all honesty, I think you need more help then I do right now"Jackie said.

"How do I need help?" Tiberius wrote.
"I'm free. I just need to go home."

"Well, just cause you're out of that cage and out of my village doesn't mean your safe. The people in my village think you're a monster, so they're gonna try and find you to kill you."Jackie said. "You might need help getting back to your colony, I mean, the guars from my village caught you somehow, so I'm sure they could do that again."Jackie said.
