Personality

Ill-mannered | Roguish | Ignorant | Stubborn |  Vain | Hypocritical

    Ill-mannered: Tristan is a rude, short-tempered and sharp-tongued man who ultimately believes himself to be the dominant figure in most situations. He's always getting into fights outside of the army and most of his bottled up energy is released as anger. However, Tristan has more brain than brawn, and his anger is not always directed as physical contact. He can also make life worse for his opponents by manipulating multiple aspects of their situation.

    Roguish: His mien almost always seems to radiate a sly and dishonest aura, which can sometimes definitely prove to be true. Though he’s working to revert and alter his manners, there are times when Tristan can’t help, but turn to his old ways. Tristan takes the quote “Old habits die hard,” straight to heart since there are times when it becomes hopeless.

    Frank: Tristan respects honest, straightforward people and attempts to imitate the same quality in his own way. No matter how bad it may hurt or how greatly it may affect the receiving party, Tristan will show no hesitation in stating the matter at hand. This trait seems to get him in the most trouble and led to most of his adolescent brawls. This, which causes his tactless, insensitive and ruthless appeal, continues to affect his reputation even today.

    Stubborn: Due to his past experience working in his father’s carpentry business, Tristan is extremely hardworking and committed when he sets his mind on a fixed goal. He might divert or procrastinate, but overall he makes sure sure the job is done in a set period of time. Personality-wise, Tristan will cling tight to his opinions and beliefs just like an old mule refusing to budge. The exception is authority, in which Tristan will fiercely obey though his only motive would be to move up ranks.

    Vain: If all his hard work pays off, Tristan will make his feelings pretty evident... maybe a little too evident. The young man is greatly preoccupied with vanity of all sorts (mainly appearance and achievement), though all are expressed at appropriate times (like he's not concerned about his looks on the battlefield). Pretentious as he is, pride is easily the strongest of his vices.

    Hypocritical - Though Tristan may say he's attempting to right his perversion, his actions prove otherwise. Unfortunately, his good deeds are few and his penance is weak. His reason for joining the Thereon military was not merely an escape, but a reason to change all while keeping his pride -- a pride that ends up upholding his evildoings. Tristan is simply too weak in creating the change he desires. And in exchange, his lack of achievement leads to the capped energy that mostly constitutes to his anger.

Background

Tristan was born into a carpenter’s household and was raised as the result of an illegitimate relationship. Tristan’s "mother" died of an unfortunate accident prior to his birth, leading this child to be raised by his mother's sister-- also his biological parent. Their true relationship was never revealed due to the scandal and controversy that would ensue. Nevertheless, his true mother and father loved him with equal respect--perhaps due to the unusual, yet favorable turn of events. In a sense, Tristan was their miracle child of a dark essence. However, their miracle child soon laid out a rather disgraceful series of events for not only their family, but the whole neighboring community.

           Tristan grew up with a strange affinity for the streets and had a 'true commoner’s heart', according to his father. This was rather a lightened negative portrayal of his son, for Tristan was always prowling around in the most ruralist of areas. Gathering a ragtag group of youth, Tristan became a nameless menace on the streets. Then, naturally, as the most fit, rambunctious and seemingly most attractive, Tristan became their leader. He along with his fellow misfits basically did their duty in disturbing the people, loitering, partying and involving themselves in illegal business. Of course, eventually there were a select few that discovered Tristan's identity and reported him, but could never retrieve solid evidence. Inclusive to this, his parents were sick and tired of complaints, but never attempted to right their son's wrongs. As long as he continued to be an active, loyal member that brought good profit to his father's carpentry guild, all was happy and well.

            Unfortunately, this lack of consequence and correction grew to affect Tristan in a negative manner. His attitude grew rotten, crude and further pretentious as time dragged on until he'd finally crossed the line. A chilly winter's night by an old, decrepit bar, Tristan and his buddies had indulged in a late night party as a celebration for the upcoming holidays. Drunk, jubilant and seduced by the illusion of freedom, Tristan  partied at his highest level until the break of dawn. Hungover and beat, a few of his fellow gang members half-dragged, half-supported him down to a inflamed and exasperated neighborhood. Confused at sight, yet unaware of the circumstance, they continued to meet with a barrage of berating accusations and threats. Wielding wooden and other blunt instruments, the villagers charged at the group, attacking the dazed Tristan towards the center. Rushing him into his house and escaping silently, his friends left Tristan in the midst of an exploding family feud over the accusation of Tristan’s position in wrongly impregnating another’s daughter. It took one teary eyed gaze from a previous customer to ensure Tristan that it was his doing. The neighborhood erupting into an ashamed rage, it took quite a few hours before Tristan and his family could be left alone (to some extent).

    His parents, though bogged down by hurt, were also enraged and with heavy hearts disowned the child from their household. At most, they suggested, Tristan should use the little bit of honor he had left to commit himself to lifelong military service. Half-thrown out and disowned, Tristan took not a moment to discern the consequences as he instantaneously accepted the offer. At the instance, the youth had been bewildered and shocked more than guilty, and to the next day he regretted accepting an offer that only served as both his figurative and literal escape. Drowning in unforeseen horror, sorrow and heartache, Tristan grew tormented by the pain tugging at his soul. It took him several weeks, a few days before his enlistment, to accustom himself to the situation. In his final decision, he was to see through to his actions, by finding some meaning to existence in the army. His own twisted version of penance, Tristan made his way to the military base with a heavy heart.

Strangely enough, his decision in dire concern to amend his ways wasn’t enough. Hypocritical and still hurting, Tristan still clings to his old habits and ill tempered nature. Many years away from home and days bathed in bloodshed have given him no real support in solving his issue, and the man is too ignorant to fully realize that he never truly faces his wrongdoing and pain in any of this.

Trivia

》His middle name is Regis, but due his general dislike of the name, he never discloses his full legal title.

》The names of his children are Ellie & Elliot. If anything, having them is the only true sorrow Tristan has in his heart. Though he knows they won’t ever be needing a father like him and that they’ll find another father besides him, Tristan keeps a wallet-sized painting of their bundled figures in a pouch before his heart (given by an unknown source). He has never shown neither this picture nor this sorrow to anyone.

》More than two-thirds of the money he receives from his service goes to both his families regardless if it is received respectfully or not. Therefore, he is relatively poor in comparison to the rest of the military men.

》His initial reason for specializing in gunmanship was due to the apparent “boldness” of the weapon. He's actually well versed in sniping and baronet handling.
