Hobbies: Robotics || Tristan loves robotics, and ever since elementary school, has been involved in robotics teams and competition. He loves to build them, study them, and figure out what makes them tick, and he has a particular fascination with true artificial intelligences. His dream is to one day build a robot that will pass the Turing Test. He plans to name her GLaDOS.
Sci-Fi || Tristan absolutely adores science fiction, from
Dr. Who to
Mass Effect to
Forbidden Planet. He loves the new stuff, the old stuff, all of it - and he doesn't care how cheesy it is! If it's about the future and technology, Tristan probably likes it. It's also the only time he can turn off his logic, for the most part - sometimes you just have to sit back and accept that the movie's gonna break the laws of physics.
Cooking || Specifically, traditional Welsh dishes. Tristan has been cooking for a long time, ever since his parents died and he had to start taking care of himself and his sister. So he learned traditional Welsh recipes, as a way of helping himself and her keep their parents' culture alive within their family.
Baitareacht || While it's traditionally Irish, not Welsh, Tristan still loves the art of baitareacht, Irish stick-fighting. It's a very physical hobby, and helps him stay in shape - and it's also pretty classy to be able to fight with a cane, or so he thinks. He takes lessons at a small school run by an Irish immigrant, and most of the other students there are of Welsh, Irish, or Scottish descent.
Virtues: Logical || Tristan prides himself on his ability to analyze a situation logically and come out with the correct answer. He does his best not to get too emotionally invested in interpersonal situations, not let his emotions and frustrations get away with him, and consider the logical routes to solving problems and conflicts and getting around roadblocks in life.
Confident || Tristan is generally fairly self-confident and tends to believe that he will be successful in endeavors he takes on. He rarely overworries about failure, and while he considers the possibility that he might, he does not pay it much thought unless, somehow, failure is actually occurring. He is also fairly comfortable with himself, on the whole, and sees little reason to over humble himself or hide facets of who he is. (Except perhaps his ability to Have a Feeling that isn't "stoic grunting noise.")
Disciplined || Tristan is very good at managing his time, sorting out what needs to be done when, and ensuring that his responsibilities are taken care of. He raised a younger sister almost entirely by himself while juggling school and work, managed excellent grades that got him first a scholarship to Azure and then a full ride to DCU, and has kept up since. His skills at priority management means that he does not let himself get overwhelmed but also refuses to slack off or laze about.
Flaws: Ruthless || Tristan has a somewhat alarming ruthless streak. He has very little care for other people beyond those close to him, and will do whatever he feels is necessary to accomplish a goal - generally within the realm of morality, but sometimes not. He would not, for instance, cheat on a school assignment (he doesn't feel the need to) but he might ensure that his top competitor in a robotics fair experienced a...totally unpredictable critical malfunction. With their robot, of course.
Untrusting || Tristan is slow to let people in, and with the death of his sister - perhaps the only person he actually did care about - he has become even more so. People will lie, cheat, steal, screw you over, and hurt you, and the only person you can really rely on is yourself. He actively shoves people away, refuses to talk about himself or his problems, and is otherwise generally unpleasantly and sometimes rudely asocial. Tristan is not a pleasant dude to be around by any means.
Overly Logical || Sometimes, Tristan becomes too detached from a situation, and cannot see beyond the "logic" of the thing to the humanity involved in it. He will take the most logical solution, but it is rarely the kindest one. He is often accused of being a robot himself, but Tristan insists it isn't so terrible to have someone who isn't worrying about
feelings all the time.
