TRISTIN AVRENCE MAREL
Full Name: Tristin Avrence Marel
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Sexual Orientation: Teliopheliac Homosexual
Power(s):
Dragon: Greater Dragon, a generally very large dragon that has the ability to turn into a human. These dragons favour their human forms unless they are around other dragons. They developed the human transformation skill around 3000 years ago, switching genetic codes ( however still retaining traits such as personality and linking some dragon oriented traits such as elemental resistance) when humanoid beings started to expand their populations by the hundreds of thousands to live sustainably by their side. Greater Dragons, like other dragons, have elements depending on where they came from; and their draconian appearance differs according to the element they are. Dragons related by family will usually look similar to each-other. However, a dragon of one element may still be able to have different features than other dragons of the same element.
Greater Dragons are immortal, like most other dragon species. They can live for countless ages. They can die from unnatural causes though; through fights, wounds and injuries and/or falls from great heights. They usually stop their aging process at 40 years old, from then on appearing the same age for the rest of their lives.
- Tristin is a Fire Elemental Dragon. This means he is completely heat resistant. He can breathe fire ( flammable gas secreted by small glands in his sinus-region) and his Elemental Opposites are Water, Snow and Ice.
Powers summary:
Fire elemental ( heat resistance [Fire resistance only in dragon form]), immortality, Genetic switching ( Shifting to human form)
Appearance:
Tristin has Physical Androgyny due to excessive estrogen production. In fact, to expand on this; he started out normal until he reached puberty; and he kind of went through a spurt of hormones: Both of them) . He is curvy, voice very feminine and he has breasts ( Gynecomastia type 2 [[ by the way if you want specifics. They stick out around 1/1.5 inches off the chest, making it roughly worth a 34 A cup at times he chooses to wear a bra). He looks very fragile and breakable. His ribs show slightly, and his arms, legs and waist are very thin. He is not very physically strong, and gets hurt easily. However, because of his very slender, curvy build, he is good at being agile and is very flexible and fast. Because he produced too much estrogen during puberty, he doesn't have facial hair. And like most people of Aeon ( Where he is from), he naturally doesn't have body hair.
Hair: Tristin's hair is a bright white, like fresh fallen snow. This hair is fairly long, reaching just an inch or so past the hips. Before he goes to sleep, he ties his hair up so that his hair does not bother him while he sleeps (usually a ponytail, bun or braids). His front bangs are blunt cut, and his side-locks rest at mid-chest.
Eyes: Tristin's eyes are a slightly pale aqua blue, and are bright and vivid.
Skin: His skin is light and very pale, with a small tint of pink ( The lighter skin is, the more translucent it is) that compliments his hair and eyes.
Height and Weight: Tristin is 5'10" and 125 lb. So yes, quite skinny; good luck trying to convince him to gain weight.
In Dragon form, he is at 30 feet in length from his tail to his head; and around 10 feet tall from foot to shoulder.
Wingspan approx. 25 feet.
Personality:
Tristin, unlike his family, has a strangely hyperactive personality for someone of his social caliber. One might think of him like a twelve year old child in some aspects. He really likes fluffy things, especially cats. Because of his past, he is afraid of six-legged Basilisks. He is an avid trickster, liking to pull ridiculous pranks on his family and people he meets. As well as being a cunning little fox, he is also a bit childish. His personality can change depending on whom he is around. Some people, he is naturally incompatible with and it is best to stay away from him. Tristin likes to bug people into getting things for him, and pokes his nose around in people's business. Getting into people's personal space is also a thing he does a lot; whether it is poking people or clinging to them. Tristin can be a drama queen, obsessing over things, picking fights and being overly enthusiastic about things he likes and can have a short fuse and a snobbish attitude.
For some reason, his personality traits are much like that of a cat. He can be very cute and loving; and run around everywhere, amused easily by little things. He is easily distracted, easily amused, and sometimes does the stupidest or most unexpected things. When he gets mad, he completely blows a fuse and yells at everything, or goes and sulks for a while. He is a fairly teasing sort of person, whom flirts and makes people feel awkward because he thinks it's cute and fun; but this can easily be turned around, as he also likes /being/ teased in much the same way.
Being a dragon, Tristin often finds himself hoarding thing; shiny. glittery things, or anything he perceives as valuable; and then refusing to part with said items. He is very prideful of his species, labeling dragons as a superior race. He is very stubborn and will do what he thinks is right whether it is right or not. He also has an attraction towards fire. He likes sitting really close to fireplaces and heat-sources.
Tristin is in love with beauty, and always tries to be fashionable and look his best on all occasions. He loves beautiful people, beautiful clothes and beautiful things.
Likes: Tea, Books, classical music, fun music, fluffy things, fashion, cross-dressing,winning arguments, flirting, men, witty comebacks, beauty,sweet things, shiny things and valuables, hair grooming, ego boosts, cats
Dislikes: Overweight people and animals, losing arguments, being hurt, being too cold, people who bully him about his appearance, coffee, bitter things, dull clothes, genderism and gender assignment to objects ( like clothes)
Hobbies: Reading, drinking tea, going out for walks, shopping, collecting super cute clothes like dresses and skirts and little charms. Reading about herbs, collecting herbs, experimenting with alchemy.
Fears:
- Ghosts
- Basilisks
Weaknesses: While lithe and flexible in dragon form, his movements are still severely degraded in tight spaces; such as between trees/ in forests, between buildings ect... As such, tries to avoid these places while in this form; for it could be a matter of life and death for him if a fight were to occur.
He is a fire elemental. So he is weak to Ice, Snow and water elements.
His underside ( belly, throat, underside of body) scales are the strongest ( to protect the heart), upper scales the weakest ( Least priority)
In human form, the only advantage Tristin has is heat resistance. So if you want to kill him quicker; do it while he's still in human form.
Not mathematically smart.
Sensitive to medications. An Advil might be fine, but his body could react adversely to a drug unexpectedly.
Strengths: Tristin is quite beautiful ( although beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, he comes off as ethereal), Agile and quick; light on his feet. He is very loyal to those whom 'earn' it.
History/Family:
Tristin was born as the 2nd heir to the throne in the kingdom of which he his from. His older brother is to take the throne as soon as their father retires. Their family has undergone a lot of secret criticism amongst council members and citizens and soldiers due to their father's psychosis which had been passed down to him. People wonder if any of them are even fit to rule, though they cannot do too much about it.
It was while his father was given many different herbal 'remedies' and potions that Tristin became fascinated with the art in alchemy, herbology and potion making. He would start to tamper around with experimental sets in his room whenever he had the time.
As a child, Tristin was even more hyperactive than he is now. He would stop paying attention in the middle of private lessons and pick fights with his brother, which eventually ended up in a full-blown fight involving throwing books at each other while their teacher frantically tried to get them to stop before they ruined anything.
Their mother was sweet and caring, but was also quick to be firm and strict at times; she played music for the kids, and nurtured them when their father was busy or unable.
Tristin witnessed his mother's death first-hand when she risked her life to protect him from a basilisk. The basilisk had snuck into the castle during the night, turning into shadows and waiting; under a targeting spell of an evil sorcerer. The basilisk ended up crushing the skull of the Queen between it's jaws. This trauma caused the children to go into depression, which lasted a few years before they went into remission and broke free of their troubled minds.
- Whilst wandering through the castle's portal without permission, he stumbled across a magical 'warren' a path that lead to another world. This was when he was about ten years old. Excited about the discovery, the kid ran back to his dad, told him about what he had come across, and after getting scolded; was delighted to find that some spies had been sent into the warren.
They came back, remarking on how strange the world was, but deemed it somewhat safe.
So, a week later, a group of oddly dressed people appeared on earth and then disappeared for a while.
Long story short, Tristin figured that he really liked looking at all the neat stuff there and spent more and more time on Earth. It's also a place to go when it's too dangerous at home.
Currently, there is a minor war going on between his home country and their long-term enemy country. Tristin is spending all of his time on Earth, waiting it out.
Tristin would rather not tell of his status in his world; as he just likes to get away from it all; a rank where you were given a horrible reputation if you made one wrong move.
*School:
Tristin has only spent around six months here so far. Most of this time was spent transferring, getting a job, renting an apartment and getting ready for school
Since it takes 2 years on earth for him to age 1 year, Tristin usually stays in the Same Grade for 2 Years. The 1st year he spends on all mandatory courses, the 2nd year he spends on any other courses that interest him.
Housing: Yes. I even did the math for this.
Doesn't live in the dorms. he lives in a slightly outdated 800 square foot apartment with a $700 per month rent.
Work: Works at a local book store. 5 hours a day at $12 an hour. will sometimes work on a Saturday/ Sunday for extra money. Hey; getting home at 8 PM isn't that bad if you have something to do.
Sells amateur alchemical concoctions on occasion.
In Character sample: Basically a role playing sample, can be any kind of sample at all- an intro, etc. Whatever you like. This role playing sample will help us get a better idea as to who you are as a writer. As long as you have one IC sample with one character, anymore characters you make do not require an IC sample.
"It was worth that money; the cinnamon bun. So sugary and warm and with that distinct taste of the cinnamon that made it what it was. He looked like a little kid whom, after begging his parents, had finally gotten a bunch of candy to rot his teeth with. Tristin watched people walk to and fro, vehicles rushing one way and another in the heat; those moving pieces of metal were nice in that they had air-conditioning, but he got carsick easily. He remembered a few times when friends tried to drive him places and he would throw up out the door and sometimes on the seat. Yucky. And then he would freak out because it was gross and cars were supposed to cost a lot of money, and it was humiliating to throw up in public.
Tristin had only recently come to this school, having transferred from another just the next city over. He had to have all his apartment furniture moved over from one place to another, which had cost him a few hundred; but that was around 6 months ago. He had settled in by now, and school had just started here; so he was fairly new. He was hoping for friends, less homework and interesting things to do and places to see. Like, he heard that there was lots of pretty scenery around here, and an ocean although he was not too terribly fond of salt water. Also, a meadow; he loved flowers and always decorated his rooms with them, fake in the winter and real in the summer.
Sweeping his glasses off his head, he folded them and dropped them into one of the bags. Catching his eye on long hair that brushed just in his peripheral vision he stopped where he was for a moment; paused like a statue before resuming natural motion as his eyes moved up a lithe figure walking past into the bakery. Had he been sitting there? The boy had not noticed him until now, having been thinking about how school was going to go. He watched him smother out a cigarette, a smoky stick that was tainted with ugly chemicals; as long as he did not have to breathe it in, he didn't mind though. That aside, as the newly turned adult pretended to focus fully on his sweet snack, he wondered who this could be with a strange ethereal appearance.
He came back out of he door with a cinnamon roll almost exactly like his own. Coincidence, but he hid a smile behind a bite of food, adverting his eyes to study some random shop signs as the other sat. He really did not know why, but he found this somewhat amusing; why was this so amusing? He forked another piece of his roll, preferring not to get his fingers sticky and nibbled on it like a contemplative mouse, eyes darting back and forth, and then latching onto the stranger's hair again, and then to his face; almost finding himself unable to tear his gaze away from his strange, almost mysterious eyes; which probably seemed a little creepy but at least he was being discreet about it. Was he looking at him too?
Now, usually unexpected things like this would be labelled as odd, but the stranger suddenly decided to ask him if he wanted part of his cinnamon roll. The white haired dragon stared at him for a moment in the sheer unexpectedness of the moment and then chortled at him. It wasn't a mean laugh, more of something that abruptly came out of his mouth during the absurdity
" I uh............. " He began, contemplating and then deciding why not, might as well.
".. are you sure? You paid for that, you should have it. I mean, I'm not even finished mine yet" he said bemusedly. Wasn't every day that attractive strangers offered you food. "
