[ General Description ]
Tristan is a man of large stature. Standing at an imposing 6'6" and weighing in at 220lbs., he is not a man most want to tangle with upon first seeing him. Tristan is never without his styled sunglasses. Throughout the entire war, Tristan had to keep switching between shitty pairs of sunglasses. He swore if this never ended, he would get a good pair that was expensive and that he could wear all the time. He got his wish. Tristan always dresses very formally, usually in the attire o a bartender. He always wears the same outfit. He wishes to be buried in this outfit. He always wanted to wear stuff like that, and he is going to stick by it. Now matter how many outfits he destroys, he'll just keep fixing them. His blonde hair is never really styled in any sort of way, he doesn't really pay much attention to it.
Inner Soul
✔Cigarettes || they calm him down
✔White Noise || be it music, cars or just people talking, Tristan can't stand the quiet
✔Fighting || as much as he hates to admit it, Tristan misses the War
[ Dislikes ]
xQuiet || When its quiet, bad things are bound to happen.
xBullies || He can't tolerate them for even a quarter of a second
xBraggarts || people who brag about anything whatsoever, it just pisses him off for some reason.
[ Weaknesses ]
☠Light Sensitivity || for some reason, Tristans eyes are really sensitive in light, without his sunglasses, hes practically blind.
☠Friends || He ain't got many of them, but he'd destroy the city for them.
☠Collateral Damage || Tristan has this tendency to get carried away in a fight and a lot of property ends up destroyed
[ Abilities/Skills ]
✶War God's Veil || Tristan has one single ability, though it is all he needs. Aura is an energy that exists in all living beings. It escapes from our bodies unknown to us. Tristan's ability is that he coats himself in a visible veil of white energy, that traps his aura inside him. This grants him superhuman strength and speed, the veil itself acts like a shield, protecting him from bullets and most direct hits. He has several techniques with this ability. He can focus all of his aura into his left fist, the damage it does is catastrophic. He calls it his "War God's Fist". He can even project his Aura, though once it leaves his body, he has to gather it back up. He can even speed up his bodily processes and can increase his healing, not wolverine status but much faster than a normal person. Like a broken arm that should take 5 months to heal would heal in one.
✶Hand to Hand Combat || As his ability makes him incredibly durable and strong, he is only hand to whatever it is his enemy is using.
✶No Fear || I almost put this in weaknesses, but it is a huge part of his character. He doesn't believe in the no win scenario and will head into any situation if the reason is right, without hesitation.
[ Personality ]
To those that know Tristan well,he can be at the same time, one of the most wise and one of the most dumb people around. He seems rather wise beyond his years and seems to have found what makes him happy and encourages people to do what makes them happy. He can have sage advice and can be one of your strongest pillars of support.....in more ways than one. At the same time, he's honestly terrible with dealing with people. He gets annoyed by petty problems way too often and sometimes reacts violently when he shouldn't.
Being bread as the perfect war machine, he is rather violent. He can be irritated by the smallest things, such as a guy not apologizing for being late with one of his shipments and it can often lead to violence. Yet on the same day, he can say the perfect thing you needed to hear that day when you were dealing with something you thought you wouldn't get over. It's almost like, to a certain degree, he cant take his own advice. It seems he can be happy easy enough, but he can fluctuate to pissed pretty quick. Though, the true reason Tristan gets so flustered with people is that he's pissed that he has to deal with this petty bullshit when his entire life was about war and protecting the freedom of billions of people. Its not the actual acts that annoy him, its the fact that he as to deal with them after everything he's been through.
At the end of the day though, there isn't anyone you would rather have at your back in any situation, than Tristan. And....there is no place he would rather be.
Memoirs
Tristan was the first "Perfect" Variant in a long line of them. They simply wanted him to be the human definition of an atom bomb. They wanted to see the looks on the Korean pilots faces when a lone man was ripping apart their Mechs. Tristan didn't care much about that. When he was fully conscious of his sentience, he fully complied with them. He always seemed sort of sleepy and just did what he was told. He trained hard and took each test they gave him with a good attitude and never spoke up or complained about anything. He progresses through their time table perfectly. They couldn't ask for a better soldier.
12 years old, shipped out to full on combat deep in Nova. He remembered the dry desert heat. The long flat land with nothing but horizon to see. Pure open skies. He felt like he was coming home. Everyone of his men talked about how horrible it was, but he had no idea what they were talking about. He loved it. Due to his ability, he was highly adaptable so he was never really uncomfortable. At first, it was all about the mission. Make the scientists proud. Don't let their efforts be in vain. A lot of his men were hesitant about following orders from a super kid. After all, he was one of the first ones out. He was a bit draconian back then and would physically punish his men. His mission success rate for 2 years straight was 100% all across the board.
In that third year, however, something Tristan changed. He matured and started to see the soldiers for what they were, people. He started delaying missions for injuries. He started ignoring time codes to help his men along. He stopped physically disciplining them and started actually disciplining them. He started to talk to them more and take on some of their personality traits. He would joke with them and eat with them and play card games with them. He stopped accepting casualties in his squad. He started to treat his men like family. Everyone called him "War God", because watching him take on huge amounts of enemies head on with nothing but a grin on was like watching Ares himself take the field. The casualties in his squad almost disappeared....but the mission success rate dropped. Many of his observers understood this as enemy casualties went up, and called it a net zero.
Others however said he needed a readjustment. Territory was starting to become more important than ever and they wanted him back on track. They gave him a year to make up the lost 32%. When he received the orders, he almost just beat the messenger down right there, but he managed to stop himself. He essentially flipped command the bird, and kept on doing what he did. The year passed, and he only went up 4%. As he was sort of one of their poster boys for the war and his cooperation was key to the continuance of the Variant project, they reassigned him.
In his 4th year of war, a new division was made with him in command. They told him it was a promotion, but he knew what it was. Something to keep him from fucking everything up. However, the division only had to do with getting soldiers out of danger zones alive. So...he got to keep doing what he loved to do, keep soldiers alive, and command got no complaints. Tristan was OK with the arrangement, though a little resentful at the fact that they had bullied him into the position. It was here where he go the nickname "The Cavalry". Because, when everything was looking bleak and it looked like all was lost, a carrier jet would fly over the battlefield and a small dot would drop from it, crash landing into the middle of the enemy forces. With a loud explosion signaling the call, Tristan would be there amidst the smoke, creating a distraction so everyone could get out OK. The craziest thing of all....he would be smiling.
When the War finally ended, he had been to every single war zone and met hundreds of Variants just like him. He was given the OK and was put back into society. He worked in private security for at time....but ended up beating up one client too many. He decided that he would do what one of his friends in Nova always talked about. Running a Nightclub. The idea was to have a ritzy Nightclub that all the 1% would attend, but have it located in the Lower Ring, to raise money for public works in the city. His name was Teddy Prokop. Tristan found him in Rune and they started up their business. Since all the money was Tristan, he is the official owner. Though Teddy is the manager of the Club. They called it "3rds Street" As thats what all the men in Tristan's unit called their barracks. It is incredibly successful and one of the hottest Nightclubs in all of Rune. Even though he has everything he could ever want.....Tristan still is missing something. The War.
