Appearance Tristan wears loose clothing, and jogging pants, or Gym shorts all the time. He feels strange in tight clothes. He doesn't shave often or keep up with his appearance very well. He always has very disheveled hair, and a light beard. He often wears hoodies, or large jackets on top of his clothes. He wears torn up converse shoes, which are his only pair of real shoes besides his duct tape sandals that he made himself. The shirts he wears are often tie-dyed or wool shirts. They often carry scents like incense, or other "Chemicals". He also is seen wearing a necklace with a silver coin on it. He claims it is his "Lucky Coin".
He's remotely tall, at 6'4" and a half (Six feet, four inches and a half) With long curly brown hair and kind of pale skin. He also has deep brown eyes. He is kind of muscular, and exercises when he doesn't have anything better to do.
Personality Tristan doesn't like to talk to people that he doesn't have to talk to. He's not very outspoken around large groups, but when he's with a few close friends he loves to shout and joke around. He is very chill most of the time, but he is incredibly superstitious. It's even rumored that he's deathly afraid of the dark. He likes to examine things in detail, and collects strange things like rocks and different kinds of grass. He isn't afraid to fight someone that he doesn't like, and is quick to turn against someone he may have been very close to. He is very friendly to people that buy drugs from him, and always aims to please. The few that he is close to would probably name him as one of the nicest people they know, for now.
History Tristan was born to Marietta Anderson Smith, and Hector Gregory Smith. His mother died when he was young, after the family had been involved in a serious car accident. Tristan still bares several scars from it. His father began to resort to drugs, and alcohol to drown his sorrow over his lost wife. During this time, he beat Tristan savagely. Tristan's uncle, Alexander witnessed such an event and informed the authorities. Tristan went to live with his uncle who raised him. During Tristan's time with his father he began experimenting with drugs, and settled on Marijuana which he snow sells to many of the students on the campus. He did very well in school, despite his drug habits.
His uncle enrolled him in the Archer's School for Excellerated Learners, and Tristan accepted it quietly and without much of a care. He'd do well in school, get an education, and then get a good job. That was his plan. He was always the kind of student that could get by all of the tests and teachers with pure luck, and is the guy that not many people tend to notice. Not many people except, of course, the people that buy drugs from him. Tristan has been smoking marijuana since he was pretty young, and can recount strange "spiritual encounters" that he has had with demons and ghosts. Whether this has been caused by his drug habits, or if they really happened are not in question by him. He conducts seances in his dorm room occasionally. His Uncle passed away while he was at school, and whenever he is off campus he stays with a family friend that lives nearby.
Skills He doesn't have too many skills, but he can speak rather fluently in Spanish, and can cook very well. He is also very good at Beer Pong, and lying. Lying, as a matter of fact, is one of his specialties. He has a talent with the harmonica as well.
Phobias Tristan is deathly afraid of the dark. It's a fear that he's gained from living with his abusive father and having very strange experiences. He keeps a light on whenever he sleeps and avoids dark places unless he has a flashlight or a phone. He is also very afraid of spiritual beings and is very Superstitious. His Lucky coin is evidence of that.

Goals To get a good education, and a good job so that he has plenty of money to live how he wants. He also wants to fund his drug habit.
How they know Sarah Kaplan Sarah purchased drugs, and incense from him every once in a while. They grew rather close, and would chat often. He thought about pursuing a relationship once or twice, but he felt that it would be unprofessional of him, and he didn't want to increase his chances of being found out or tricked out of his money or drugs. They remained friends until Sarah killed herself.
Other Important Details Tristan is a rather bad influence when it comes to drugs, and takes a little for someone to get used to.
