ᴘᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ:
Tristan usually has a calm and laid back kind of demeanour. He is trustworthy and would always be up to help a friend, be it burying a body in the middle of the night or keeping it a secret. His trust is something that takes time to build up but he is most likely to stay loyal if he trusts a person. He is very efficient and gets work done but almost never takes the credit for it. He does not like to show off and stand in the front line, taking proud in his work, no matter how good. Seemingly he is exceptional at taking responsibility so if he has done something wrong, he would stand up and accept it. He will do whatever he can to fix it. He is observant and likes to sit back and read people, know things about them they don't know themselves and use his observations to his benefits. He is cunning and he knows it. He has that kind of smirk on his face that'd probably tell others that he is up to no good. However he likes to keep his plans to himself and would rarely speak out loud, those rare occasions being only in the presence of those who he trusts. He needs things to be done his own way. He is very skeptical and would never blindly trust anyone. He always has that metaphorical guard up that he would never drop for anyone. He has hard time putting his faith into someone who is not himself. He lives for himself and the ones he cares about.

He has strong opinions and is very judgemental. He does not care enough about anyone so he would obviously keep those thoughts to himself. He does not like people who talk too much or does are self obsessed. He despises liars but hypocritically would do the same, lying whenever he needs to, to get out of a tough spot. He is very good at lying and manipulating people with his words. He is sometimes playful, it takes time for that side of him to show up. He does not easily open up and even if he does, it would probably be with only one person in the room. He can sometimes be 'pretty annoying' because of his rare impatient side. He would question anything and everything and would not sit quiet. Since he is far from taking orders so he'd sometimes openly speak against a room full of people without even being bothered.
He has been deaf ever since he was six and it played a really big role in his personality. He used to be paranoid, suspicious of everything and everyone around him because he could not hear what they'd say.

He would often easily have panic attacks when he was little. He dealt with all for years until he pulled himself together. He became stronger and smarter even with his condition. He is hence very intelligent and quick to make decisions and follow them through to save himself from state of panic. Tristan is kind and would always treat others with respect. There is obviously a few exceptions to this. He does not like a lot of people but would rather not say it. He does not like drama and would usually stay away from it all. He is complicated to understand and appears unfriendly. He is not afraid to speak his mind when he needs to. He does not like to take orders and if he is ordered to do something, chances are he'd not do it.

Tristan is greedy and power hungry. He likes to be in command and he'd take the opportunity if he got to control others. He enjoys manipulation and is quite persuasive when it comes to his words and would often use the same persuasion to his own benefit. He is charming or so he has been told. He does not like to flirt. He finds it extremely cheap and would never do it unless it is really what he wants. He is sexually driven and would not care who he is fucking when he wants to fuck. He does not believe in relationships and would often be found encouraging his friends to break up with their significant halves. He has been telling his father to divorce his mother for the past six years. He is that bad influence parents warned their kids about when it comes to sleeping around. He is impulsive when he loses his temper and would not listen to anyone easily. Though his anger rarely makes an appearance. He has no reason to be angry in general.

ʀᴇᴀsᴏɴ ғᴏʀ ᴊᴏɪɴɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ɢᴀɴɢ:
-the mother of his daughter was killed by a man from the bloods so he recently switched sides, joined the gang to find the man and probably kill him if tristan wants that.

sᴋɪʟʟs:
tristan is skilled in using almost all sorts of weapons, trained in hand to hand combat and is black belt in the martial art of taekwondo.

ᴡᴇᴀᴋɴᴇssᴇs:

sometimes paranoid
-though it had been years since Tristan won over his paranoid side, he'd still fell victim to it when someone he loves is concerned.

his deafness
-his deafness often makes him feel weak and lonely and he'd be in depression because of it. It'd not usually show in his demeanour but he'd be feeling that if something happens to make him feel that way

sex
-he is horny, all the time and would almost always say yes to it no matter who offers it. He has slept with a lot of women and the list keeps growing.

sᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜ:

his deafness
-with time Tristan turned his deafness into his strength and learned to work with it. He has extremely developed extrasensory perception over time because of being deaf and it has given him lightening fast reflexes. It is truly a pleasure to ever watch him in a fight.

charming
-though rarely put to use, his charms are one of his biggest strengths. He has that alluring face that makes people feel this pull towards him, be it his smile or his voice. People can't seem to resist him and he knows it well.

independent
-Tristan is very independent and he'd always like to do things on his own. He hates to work in team and would rather be alone. Though he is very good at what he does so it is best to leave him do things his own way.

ғᴇᴀʀs ᴀɴᴅ ᴘʜᴏʙɪᴀs:
-Tristan fears abandonment and would do anything to be with someone he loves. It might be a long term side effect of his deafness but he cannot stay alone ever. He cannot eat alone or stay in a bed alone for the night. He needs someone by his side when he is not in a crowd.

ɪʟʟɴᴇssᴇs + ᴀᴅᴅɪᴄᴛɪᴏɴs:
-none
-mild sex addict

ʙᴀᴄᴋɢʀᴏᴜɴᴅ:
-tristan belonged to quite a family. he was born a couple of years after his parents were married. his dad was a cop with anger issues and his mother a school teacher. his father's temper always got the worst of him and combine it with his drinking, he'd lose control and often acted like a wild animal. fights broke out between his parents all the time but it was always fine. they always made up a day later and they loved each other. tristan loved his dad. the man took a six year old tristan out for dinner, treating him with what his mom would not let him eat on a normal day and they'd stay late, patrolling the town. he was not allowed to sit in his father's cop car, strict order of his mother but whenever they went out, his dad would take him for a long ride, let him hold his gun and introduce his son to all these other cops. tristan loved their outings and when they'd come home, they'd keep it all a secret from his mother. they'd always laugh and talk only to shut up when his mother would enter the room. the two laughed at her annoyance and how she whined that they didn't tell her anything.

a couple of months before tristan was going to turn seven, his father took him out for one such outing. they went for a long ride as always and got dinner. however on their way back, his dad got a call about a gang fight in a bar. his father had no option but to go with tristan at the time. what happened later was all tristan's fault though his father always blamed himself for it. after reaching the bar, his father got out of the car asking him to stay in the car and he'd be back. tristan had nodded and watched his father go but as he sat there waiting in that car for the next fifteen minutes or so, he got bored. he heard gunshots and got excited to see. his father had forgotten to lock the car and six years old curious tristan got out of it. when he entered the bar, he saw his father shooting a man in his leg. he was very excited but as he yelled for his dad, someone had kicked him to the ground, he didn't hear what happened afterwards but a bottle was crashed over his left ear and before tristan could scream or do anything, he was kicked away. he smashed his head in the corner of an open door. backup arrived a little later than it should have while his father fought those men and tristan laid half conscious on the ground. it was too late for him by the time the help arrived. the trauma from the injury made him lose his ability to hear, making him deaf.
few years passed, tristan had the hardest time getting adjusted to his condition. being deaf was not a joke. he had to go through many hardships but thanks to his dad, he overcame it all by the time he was sixteen. he could not hear but he was good at reading people and their lips, so good that people could never tell that he was deaf unless he told them so.

one night he was coming home back from his football game and had entered the house in silence. they had won the match and he wanted to show his parents the trophy they won. he saw his parents in the study and was about to go there but stopped outside the glass door when he realised his parents were fighting again. as he watched, he could tell his mother was telling his father to let go of tristan because that was not the son she wanted anymore. it was something along the lines of, she did not want a deaf son and she was embarrassed of him. tristan had seen his mother in a new light. he left the home the very same night and his father supported him for a couple of years until he joined college.

tristan was seventeen when he joined the 18th Street gang. the sole purpose of joining the gang was to be somewhere where no one would judge him and he could do whatever the hell he wanted. he liked being in a gang. it gave him a sense of belonging. no one treated him like they were embarrassed of him and no one looked down upon him. then again, no one knew his little secret there. he was in the gang for almost ten years until he recently joined the bloods. he had a reason for that. tristan's sexual activities were frequent and he was not always careful with who he fucked or how he fucked. he was twenty three when this girl came to him, a prostitute telling him that she was pregnant with his child. tristan agreed to take responsibility of the kid after a year long argument and a couple of dna test report later. his daughter, Kaya was born and he fell in love with her the very same day. she lived with her mother for a year until she mysteriously died and Kaya was left on his doorstep. now tristan lives in an apartment he owns with his four years old daughter Kaya and her pet dog, fox. he's allergic to fox but they're working on it because Kaya loves him. he works at a small café by the day and has his nights divided between gang and his daughter.

ᴋìʟʟ ᴄᴏᴜɴᴛ:

-three
tristan has killed only three people so far though he had been in the gang for ten years. one of them was for his initiation at the 18th Street gang, one to save his daughter and another for his initiation at the bloods. tristan can kill for sure and he is far away from being hesitant but he does not pull the trigger until that is the very last option. he has come across that kind of situation only once when his daughter was in the process of being kidnapped. he'd kill if needed and not for fun.

-likes to drink but knows his limit.
-two of his tattoos were a dare and he got the other one (the lion one on his shoulder) after his daughter was born.
