Codename: "Lyte" Real Name: Denkaiman Tristan Gender: Male Age: 16 Alliance: Neutral
History:
Son of a Japanese father and English-speaking American mother, Tristan was born in the small town of Hot Springs, USA. However, he only lived there for a matter of months before moving to Japan with his parents due to his father’s business. Tristan oddly came to feel out of place in Japan and that America was his true home, despite his brief stay. Thus, when he was nine, and returned to the States with his mother in order to attend private school in Baltimore, his mind was put at ease.
When he was thirteen, a strange thing happened. His father, Youki, was made unexpectedly bankrupt and his extensive shipping company that he had remained in Japan to manage was brought to its knees under mysterious circumstances. Tristan’s parents decided that, for the time being, they would stay where they were – their son continuing his education and Youki attempting to resurrect his dying firm – but soon it was apparent that they would not be able to sustain Tristan’s expensive tutelage, and he was forced to attend a regular high school.
Soon enough, this foreign child of once-wealthy parents ‘brought down to the common levels’ became the subject of the school bullies, remaining a target to this day. Tristan discovered his power at the age of fifteen, when his foot unexpectedly shattered the side of the crate he had been kicking in anger over the most recent spell of vicious incidents at school. Normally a very gentle kid, his frustration had turned him to physical venting of his emotions and his mutant abilities had manifested themselves.
This revelation of potential gave him a definite boost in courage, allowing him the fortitude to weather most of the following incidents. He also took up Tae Kwon Do as a means to channel his frustrations and hone his kicking abilities, for it seemed that only his legs could be imbued with destructive force. And it actually became a healthy habit rather than the violent obsession that it could have been. Consequently, he became very dedicated to the martial art and excelled rapidly in the classes. It also gave his arms something to do, as he had felt great disappointment when he realised that only his legs were imbued with such a gift. His bruised knuckles were a testament to that!
Tristan is a good-natured and kind youth, if a tad shy and naïve. He knows he has to be responsible with his power, and despite his feelings of hatred towards the older boys who torture him, he continues to fight the urge for retribution.
Appearance:
Tristan is a relatively slender youth, with fine facial features and russet brown eyes. He stands at 5'7" and weighs around 125lbs, although this figure varies as he has begun to put on some muscle with his recent martial arts training. Heavy locks of dark hair fall over his face in a middle parting and reach down to the tip of his nose.
Initial Powers: Tristan has found that he is capable of focusing a mysterious form of energy in his lower legs. At this point in time, said energy assumes the appearance of a faint glow of white and although he is not sure of its origin, his best guess is that it might be excess electrical current from within his own body. As a recently discovered power, it has but a fledgling potential. Upon kicking an object with his charged legs, the energy produces a concussive force that does extra damage.
Strengths: - Mutant abilities - Tae Kwon Do (strong legs for his age, above-average agility and moderate acrobatics) - The strong belief that he’s meant for something greater in the future, fueling him with iron-clad determination in exploring his ability and learning to take care of himself - A fairly good cook, thanks to his mother
Weaknesses: - Due to acceptance issues at school, he is eager to be acknowledged, and coupled with a naïve nature, no matter how responsible he thinks he’s being, he can still be manipulated quite easily. - He looks for the good in people far too readily and is very trusting
Sample RP: First Post
What sort of growth potential do you see for your character? A great deal! He’s relatively young in comparison to a lot of the characters running around, and still in school. He has a lot of growing up to do first. I have a wide variety of progressive plot arcs in store for him that should take him up through school and into the adult world, and several after, not including the guild arcs which take place or involvement in the arcs of other RPCs.
How often do you think you will RP? Fairly regularly (2-4 times a week if I can)
