Tiles Serrack

"Do you know what kind of submarine this is?"

**Tiles Serrack** (tie-ulls sehr-rak), born on the 8th of the Root of the Umber Solstice 888 Metier Era, is a salt dwarf and the leader of N.U.T.. As the political party won the Final Slag at the end of 905, as of the year 906 he serves as the current president of Caus Drukat.

## Personality

Tiles can best be described as "obnoxious", an immensely talkative kid who enjoys flaunting any knowledge he believes he may have over others. He is very bookish because of this as well, having extensive knowledge on the inner workings of dwarven society and Caus Drukat, as well as more working knowledge of the surface than most other dwarven individuals seem to have.

Upon getting over his raucousness, he seems to be a generally good person, wanting dwarves and the people of the surface to coexist peacefully rather than continuing the conflict that has festered between them the past two millennia.

## Appearance

Tiles is short even for a salt dwarf, though he may still have a little bit of growing left in him as he's still rather young. He has vibrant blue hair trimmed into a bowl cut, with his sparse beard proudly on display on his round face. He has large eyes with small pupils, irises colored a mustard yellow hue. When he talks, which he does often, it's revealed that his upper left canine tooth is badly chipped. He has a pair of rectangular goggles he always seems to wear on his forehead, though he has not been seen actually wearing or using them for his eyes.

Typically, Tiles is wearing light attire in salt dwarven standards, a dark yellow rubber-y labcoat with two columns of buttons. Pads on his elbows, as well as his chest pocket, have a black-and-white checkered pattern on them. He wears a pair of navy rubber gloves that go up to his elbows, and simple pants and boots of a similar fashion.

## Relationships

### Family

Tin Serrack is Tiles' mom, who has taken care of him alone since he was little. His father, Typhann Serrack, was once a prominent member of the Coalition, but made some sort of embarrassing error during a slag, the rage and pressure put on him causing him to taking his own life. The party continues to pay the Serracks to this day, money which Tin uses in her poker competition entries in order to keep the family of two afloat.

### The Knights of Nadir

The Knights first met Tiles after his mother brought them home, having "befriended" them while out grocery shopping. Seeing a mutual opportunity, the dwarf formed a political party with the Brigade members as his fellow party mates- initially called the Demo-Ex-Socialites, but later changed to N.U.T.. Over the course of the following months, the Knights and Tiles won their Bi-Weekly Slags and ended up making it all the way to the final four, eventually resulting in N.U.T. being elected as the next leaders of Caus Drukat and Tiles it's president.

At first, Tiles was just eager to have his own soapbox as well as surface-dwellers to engage with, as he had never met people from the surface directly before. However, over time he became genuine friends with the Knights, appreciating their tact in the Slags and general prowess/knowledge. Through this friendship he and his mother were also able to see the surface for the first time when they traveled through the Void Cache to Amuul's den.

#### Kris Nifeton

Tiles considers Kris Nifeton an especially close ally, having spent a lot of time chatting with her in-between slags. She took great interest in learning about dwarven culture and technology, with a passive interest in tinkering but never the time or environment to pursue the hobby very much herself. In turn, she spoke with him about the happenings of the rest of Halintar, knowledge that many dwarves aren't privvy to thanks to their remote location and the general hatred directed their way by the rest of the continent.

Tiles also believes he owes Kris Nifeton his life, as she prevented his assassination during the Final Slag of 905.

## Backstory

Tiles was born and raised in Caus Drukat to Typhann and Tin Serrack on the 8th of the Root of the Umber Solstice, 888 ME- the 8th months of the year. Because of this, Tin and Tiles both believe 8 to be a lucky number for the family.

At some point when Tiles was a bit too young to properly understand, Typhann commited suicide after a catastrophic and embarrassing failure at a slag. Since then, he was cared for alone by his mother.

His loud-mouthed attitude and bold stances caused him to become a bit ostracized from his peers and dwarven society as a whole, with no real dwarven friends other than his mother.

Tiles attempted to make his way into the political world by joining the Socialites when he was old enough to do so- however, due to his raucous nature and general disagreements with some of the party's platform, he was forcefully expelled from their ranks.

## Activity

Tiles first met the Knights of Nadir after their arrival in Caus Drukat via stolen submarine. After their previous escort, Volts, began to grow resistant to their magic influence, they instead decided to ask a wandering Tin Serrack for assistance. Finding them entertaining, she brought them to her home, where Tiles explained some happenstances of the political system of the dwarves to the party and offered to form a new political party with them as his party mates.

Initially formed as the Demo-Ex-Socialites before changing their name to the Nadir Unification Treatise (N.U.T. for short), the political party "took the world by storm", succeeding in all of the Bi-Weekly Slags they participated in. While the rest of the party dealt with Jacques Nifeton and his goons, Tiles & Kris Nifeton participated in the Final Slag, whereupon Kris prevented Tiles' assassination and the party ended up victorious.

Tiles now actively serves as the president of Caus Drukat.
