Tristan Thedral

Odain Alias: Tristan

Played By: Newaz

Homeworld: Original

Physical Description: Tristan is a 25 year old human, standing at about 
5'11". He has jet black hair and light skin, and somewhat of a slim build. 
His usual attire consists of a grey long sleeved shirt, black pants, and 
black shoes. Under his shirt, his torso is laced with numerous scars, 
ranging from  slash-marks to bullet wounds. His right eye is light blue, but 
his left eye is covered by a thick eyepatch. If his eyepatch is removed, 
however, the reason for  is immediately known. Tristan's entire left eye 
glows with a bright green light. And it doesn't *just* glow, either. It's 
such a glaringly bright light, anyone who looks directly at it without 
protection would say it's almost like looking up-close into the sun. But of 
course, the eyepatch is usually covering it up, so it isn't a problem. 
Adding to that, Tristan is completely blind in that eye, but depth 
perception doesn't normally seem to be a problem for him. He also has a pair 
of partly melted black sunglasses, which he doesn't usually wear(because of 
the damage), but he still keeps them on hand.

Powers: Tristan has no magical, psychic, or otherwise non-natural powers 
that are attributed to normal humans.

Weaknesses: Tristan isn't a good hand-to-hand fighter at all. He's 
completely weapon reliant, and if completely disarmed, is quite easy to 
bring down by anyone with any hint of fighting skill. Also, he is very 
vulnerable on his left side, because of his blind eye.

Skills: Living in a family-owned armament shop for basically his whole life, 
Tristan has picked up a few skills. He can use most types of firearm with 
above-average skill. He isn't necessarily an expert in all of them, but he 
had enough inner knowhow to be able to discern how to basically use most 
unknown weapons with a minute or two of fiddling, but it takes more time to 
figure out how to properly use them. He is also quite adept at using most 
blunt and edged weapons, and has long trained to be ambidextrous when using 
them. After the loss of ammo for Opportunist, he has done extensive training 
with his sword, and has become very skilled in it's use. Tristan has a very 
basic knowledge of magical items, as the shop also dealt in those. Even so, 
he is extremely averse to using magical things, as it was his clumsiness 
with those types that that caused his eye problem. As mentioned before, 
Tristan's complete lack of hand-to-hand fighting skills are base-to-none. 
And because of that, Tristan has forged himself to never be without a 
weapon. If, by chance, he is caught offgaurd while unarmed, or disarmed, 
Tristan still isn't quite done for. He knows how to use his surroundings to 
his advantage, and is quite good at using anything he can get his hands on 
as a weapon. He isn't MacGuyver mind you, but he knows what to look for. 
Lastly, his lack of sight in one eye doesn't seem to ever affect his 
accuracy with his weapons.

Equipment: Magnum Research Desert Eagle .50 Action Express: Handgun of 
choice, and has been customized especially for him. Big power, big recoil. 
Is usually held in a black holster-belt, holster and gun in plain sight at 
the front of his waist.  Completely silver, with a black rubber grip, and 
gold inscription down the length of the handle. The inscription reads, 
"Opportunist," in flowing cursive letters. The gun is currently without ammo 
of any kind.

"Japanese" samurai sword: Exact replica of the katanas used back in Feudal 
Japan, only made of titanium and laser sharpened. It's about four feet long, 
from the tip to the end of the black handle. Without a sheath, it is held in 
Tristan's belt.

Tool belt: A belt that carries a number of wrenches, drills, screwdrivers, 
along with a small welder, circular saw, and several other tools. Acquired 
from William Blake.

SCV (Space Construction Vehicle): A nine to ten foot all power suit that's 
about as wide as it is tall. It has bulky arms and legs that aren't very 
mobile or quick, and two pylons in the back that house the mecha's jump 
jets, which are used to maneuver in space. The mecha has a large claw on one 
arm for carrying materials, and a Fusion Cutter on the other arm, for 
welding and cutting. It's fully airtight, and is built for one person 
only... but you could squeeze another person in, only it would hamper the 
pilot's ability to drive the vehicle. Also aquired from William Blake.

Personality: Since he has come to Odain, his experiences have caused him to 
become a bit... defensive, in the way he interacts with others. His temper 
is easily aroused, and good first impressions are definitely a good thing 
for anyone hoping to interact with him. His temper can be easily invoked 
with little-to-no effort, but even if someone hasn't earned his dislike, 
they will on the recieving end of a curt, non-friendly attitude until they 
either piss him off, or earn his respect. On top of all that, Tristan is a 
very vengeful person, and those who get on his bad side will be there for 
quite a while. But even with all that, Tristan does in fact have a nice side 
to him under the rest of his personality, but it only surfaces under very 
specific circumstances.

Connections: Tristan is known by a lot of people in Odain, for one reason or 
another. Most people know/don't like him for his involvement in the 
destruction of the first Heart, but there are others who have personal 
grudges against him, such as Owen Dulsinger. In the whole of Odain, he only 
truly trusts one person: Sonya Mingol, whom he has become romantically 
involved with, and would go to any measures to protect.
