Tieme

Tieme (ティーム, Teem) is a playable character in Destrega. Along with Celia, Tieme is the game's deuteragonist in its story mode. Completing 1P Battle Mode with Tieme unlocks Dynasty Warriors Taishi Ci as a character skin for him.

Role in Game
He is a former knight of the Ipsen Empire who once served the imperial family before Zauber began his despotic rule. Banding together with the remaining knights, he leads his own resistance group under the banner of their fallen kingdom.

During his first appearance, Tieme single-handedly slays a soldier of Zauber who refused to surrender. After heading back to headquarters, he is paid a visit by Gradd and Celia who reveal themselves as Strega and seek his help in toppling the Prime Minister. Fearful of the consequences in accepting their offer, he rejects the two visitors but also warns that other resistance factions would kill them at first sight.

Tieme's group is wiped out soon by Zauber's most-trusted officer Raone, leaving him and Couger as the only survivors. Rescued by the heroic duo, he agrees to help their cause by using his diplomatic connections. He tries to persuade the retired Doyle and Princess Anjie to join him only to find the former about to kill the latter in exchange for his son. In the middle of defending the princess, Couger and Milena arrive in the nick of time to clear up the misunderstanding by informing them of Zauber's scheme.

He, Milena, and Doyle later storm Zauber's lair together. While infiltrating the exterior portion of the castle, Tieme runs into Raone who taunts him over the deaths of his comrades. The two of them duel against one another, with Tieme being the victor. Having avenged his men, he limps forward to catch up with the others.

Personality
Tieme is known throughout the land as a courageous and polite man of honor. Often preferring diplomacy over brute force, he tends to give his opponents a chance to surrender if possible. But when backed into a corner, he shows no hesitation in fighting even when up against Strega or Relic-users. His peers deeply admire him for his ability to lead by example. Though a charismatic and rational individual, he tends to be quite skeptical or even distrustful towards strangers. However, those who have gained his trust are quick to realize that he is a reliable friend when counted upon as exemplified by his camaraderie with Couger, Gradd, and Celia.

Fighting Style
Tieme's fighting style mainly consists of broad strikes, wide slashes, and energy waves released by his two blades. Being a melee-type character, he greatly excels at close quarters combat. Unfortunately, his indirect attacks suffer from narrow or limited range with the exception of his power-class spells. Even his special technique is prone to miss if used at a far distance. Furthermore, his sluggish mobility may give players a hard time in pursuing or evading opponents in any battle. Despite his flaws, Tieme is still a good character when used correctly. The trick is to gauge the distance between him and the opponent to help increase his chances of hitting with clean strikes or combo spells.
