Name: Tristitia
Stage: Prentice
Race: Oban
Gender: Male
3 Base Traits: Good: Creative
Neutral: Solitary (from other people, not beasts)
Bad: Dishonest
Personality: Creative: He has to be creative when it comes to selling the stuff he has stolen. He also has to find creative ways to market his stolen goods to people that would actually buy stolen goods. With the way he talks about his ‘goods’ he would only be able to trick someone who is not smart in the least. Maybe in the future once he get’s some Xaraan he would teach them to distract people to make it kind of easier to pickpocket Obans and foreigners alike.
Solitary: He’s mainly solitary do to the fact that he has the bad habit of snatching stuff from people’s pockets without even realizing that he done anything before the person starts to yell at him. He shies away from people to not get in trouble but he would love to have friends someday so he wouldn’t be as lonely as he is. He can sometimes come off as grumpy but that’s just from the lack of sleep. The ones he will make friends with first will most likely be beasts and then maybe people.
Dishonest: When it comes down to it, he has to be dishonest about what he does, if he told everyone him and his associates would all end up in deep trouble. He doesn’t always lie to people, just about what he does. He jokes around with people but if they think he was telling the truth he would quickly clear it up. The only thing he lies about is his job.. And his bad habits. If he got a friend he would make sure to not lie a lot. He would like an honest relationship and not one made of lies, so he would work really hard to keep his friendships. He would never betray anyone that was kind to him in any way because a good friend is quite hard to come by for someone like him.
Hobbies: Gambling is one of his biggest (and worst) hobbies. It’s one of those things that he got hooked on and after a bit he realized that “Hey, I don’t have a house or little to anything now.. Greaaaaat...” He normally has to sleep anywhere he can find a flat surface, which is why he has sleepless nights due to people talking and the ground being uncomfortable. But he now lives in a shed so yay.
Description: Skin: Third from the left. He would most likely have scars on his shoulder, near his crystals
Eyes: First from the left. He would have bags under his eyes from sleepless nights which is most night. It’s hard to sleep on the ground, on benches, and other uncomfortable but free places.
Crystals: Fourth from the right. The normal ones on the shoulders but maybe a small one on his cheek.
Hair: Fifth from the left. It would most likely be pulled back into a messy pony tail just to get it out of his face.
Clothing: His clothing could be something like
this but the colors would be different due to him being from Oba. The artist can add some patterns if they like.
Accessories: He always has a red book with him, with all the names of the Xaraan that he has betted on that have lost the races they were in so he could remember which ones to not bet on again.
History: His parents were not the best people to begin with and never wanted a kid in the first place. So they didn’t like him before they even found out that he was prone to getting sick at the drop of a hat. The sickness he had he got flashes of weakness along with mild fevers but that was only when he was younger and he grew out of it with time. Once they found that out that made them think even more worse of him until one day that they couldn’t take him living with them any more. Due to this when he was around eleven his parents left him behind in the middle of a packed crowd. He did all in his limited amount of power to find them but he was unable to.
After a few days he started to get hungry so get asked for food and he was turned down by a few people. It was then that he decided that he would have to steal some money so that he would be able to get some food to eat. Before he grew out of his sickness he would get sick and have to nick of medicine from some people and quickly use it so they wouldn’t know that it was him that took it in the first place. This didn’t always end well. As the weeks went on he got better at taking people's stuff.
With Oba allowing other tribes within its borders gives him more targets, a lot of them not used to the big city. Sometimes though he wouldn’t be able to get away with his thieving all the time so whenever someone caught him he would yell “SCATTER!” too distract people so he run away. After that he blew his money on gambling and slowly lost everything. The reason he get’s kind of sick now a days is because he’s always broke and can’t really afford food when he needs it. Whenever he get any money he wastes it on Xaraan races, which normally ends badly due to him always picking the worst bird because he feels bad for them. Gambling was something he got into young, He was able to find some people that were willing to take money from a kid so that he could try to earn money but normally it didn’t work out for him.
As he got older he was able to bet by himself and that normally ended in either him losing everything or him being chased off by guards for trying to take money from the owners of the races. Whenever he runs he normally runs too his safe spot that no one chooses to check, the unsuspecting shed. That ended up getting him a bit of a reputation with some of the guards that just see him as “Sad” Or “A bit pathetic”. In the future he will end up taking the pathetic birds in as familiars/friends.
Whenever he get’s sick, finds himself injured, or loses big he normally uses the phrase, “Rub some dirt in it and keep going”, So pretty much he ignores it, hopes it goes away, or that he will have better luck next time.
Everytime he loses his money he steals some stuff and sells it to someone to get some money to use on his gambling habits. Then he ends up losing that as well. He has no sense when it comes down to saving the money so that he can live well.
The bookie that he normally gives his money to for his bets, that he loses, felt bad for him after a while and was kind enough to give him a “nice, lovely” shed too live in. They didn’t feel bad enough for him to let him stay in the house but he didn’t care, it’s better than the hard ground. Here he was able to get food from his bookie’s wife that was kind enough to make him some food when he really needed it, He also got some blankets to sleep on and under during the nights when it get’s chilly. The bookie get’s a bit grumpy when his wife makes Tri some food but he never really speaks up due to the wife being the man of the house so he just goes along with it.
He doesn’t know anyone that is in the same situation as him but if he did met anyone like him and they were younger than he him would most likely take them under his wing and help them along. He would also sneak them into the shed that he lives in so that they would have a “nice” place to stay if they ask for it. If they don’t want that he would give them some stolen money and find them a place to stay.
