Bio:

procella - storm, gale, wave

NAME: Tristan Lann Newlyn
NICKNAMES: Tris, Trissy--but you'd better be a really good friend to get away with that one.
DOB & AGE: August 2, 1985 (Age; 21)
BIRTH PLACE: North Sea/English Channel
RACE: Merman
RACE ABILITIES: Can breathe underwater, the transformation from tail to legs. Underwater training with blades, spears and speed. Was trained to be an underwater warrior; but missing a lot of his lessons has left a lot to be desired. With an intense amount of concentration--which he generally lacks--he can create waves or even a small tide. Very in tune with natural and can slightly predict chnages in the current of the water he's emersed inside.
RACE WEAKNESSES: Being away from salt water for too long, too much heat without water nearby, and needs more than just a few minutes or a splash of water in order to change his legs back into his tail.
HOUSE: Aquatic
TIME IN HALCYON: Recently Arrived

PERSONALITY
FIRST IMPRESSION: Charming, extroverted, confident, opinionated.
BEHAVIOUR: Tristan has always been a charismatic and confident young man. He loves to charm people, and he does it well. He seems to have a magnetic aura that draws people into him, and his confidence and his enormous and talkative spirit allows him to keep a crowd entertained. He loves to be the center of attention and to make people laugh, and pretty much goes out of his way to be in the thick of things. He’s a natural leader and his enthusiasm makes him a great candidate to take charge of things; and he has absolutely no problem being bossy. On the other hand; Tristan’s need for attention makes him often come off as a giant brat. When he doesn’t get his way he’s either likely to mope and pout dramatically about it, or he’ll go completely the opposite way and throw a temper tantrum. He has immense feelings of insecurity because he doesn’t think he can live up to his father or his grandfathers examples, and tries to shield that very fierce feeling with an over abundance of confidence that makes him come off as ridiculously cocky. He can also be very unrealistic and as a child was a bit of a bully; but has an intense need to appease authority figures—or at least the ones that he likes. He’s also as stubborn as a bull, and if he says the sky is pink—he won’t believe its blue even in the face of solid evidence to the contrary. He has a good heart and likes to make people laugh, but his need to protect himself and his insecurities at all costs makes him very aggressive to people who try to make the worst out of him.
PHOBIAS: Being manipulated, hoodwinked.

BACKGROUND
PERSONAL HISTORY: The events surrounding his birth have never been a mystery to Tristan. His father, Coalan, was a brave warrior who perished trying to protect his family and their community in the English Channel. His mother, Lily, was a faithful young woman who had never done anything wrong in her life and had cherished her husband and her only son beyond anything else in the world. Because of the strength of his familial background and just who his parents were, Tristan was pretty much treated like a small king when he was young. He was a pure child of their clan, his father had been a brave warrior, and it was all anyone needed to know about Tristan. Though he never quite understood all of the tongues that seemed to wag about his mother, Tristan often wrote it off as jealousy. People were just jealous of her beauty, of the man she’d been married to. It was a naïve little shell that had been carved for Tristan, and he took to it without question.

As a child, life was very carefree for Tristan. He spent most of his time with his grandfather, Seamus, who loved to take him out hunting. The two developed a very tight bond, despite the very tense relationship that seemed to be between Seamus and Lily. Whatever tension that existed between the two of them slowly started to spread between Tristan and Lily the older he became. His mother was always so incredibly internalized, and never seemed to share anything with her son, and the older he became, the more time Lily became determined to spend away from him. Feeling neglected, Tristan became a bit of a troublemaker, his actions typically coming about from a desire for attention. When he became too much for Lily to handle, she often pawned him off onto her father. It was a catch twenty-two because whenever Tristan was with his grandfather, he had no desire to act out, and Seamus would always believe that Tristan was ready to go home again. It was a vicious cycle that was constantly repeated over and over again until Lily finally remarried again.

His step-father tried very hard to stay on Tristan’s good side, but Tristan often went out of his way to make things hard on Demetrius. Since Lily was adamant on not having anymore children, Demetrius tried to think of Tristan as a son—but Tristan refused to see him as a father. Another thing that became difficult for Tristan in regards to his family was how people expected that Tristan should become much like his father had been—a revered warrior in the clan. Though talented enough to do so, the weight put onto his shoulders because of this expectation was a heavy one to burden. And though Tristan enjoyed hunting and fighting—as long as it wasn’t an actual battle, he didn’t heave the most intense desire to become an actual warrior. His natural curiosity made him want to travel other waters, and even land. He kept these desire to himself for fear that he would shame his grandfather, or his father’s memory.

Despite trouble-making tendencies, Tristan was a fairly charming young man. He had no problem making friends and loved to explore. He pretty much enjoyed being the leader in things, and had an exceptionally abrupt take-charge attitude. Not always the most thought-forward, when he was seventeen, Tristan decided that he and a group of his friends should take part in a prank. They were to go over to the waters of their rival clan—even though the tension between both had been down-played for years, but still exceptionally present—just to see if they could get away with the trek. Tristan and his four friends made it, but in the process were captured and held against their will.

Told they weren’t going to be let go, Tristan and the others were forced to fight. They’d spent years in training, but the group as a whole weren’t the best, and were typically the ones that ignored training whenever they could. It was because of this that they lost one of their numbers, a young man by the name of Carlyle; the youngest of the group that had gone off in search of a little dangerous ‘fun.’ The guilt over this still hasn't vacated Tristan's mind. They returned back home to worried families, one member short. Carlyle’s mother was furious. She demanded that the others be thrown out of the clan for the murder of her son, but since they were still the cradle of the growing clan—it was ruled against, and Tristan and his friends were allowed to stay. His mother, however, became even more distant and angry toward Tristan.

When Tristan was twenty and sick of living with a mother he believed hated him, he told her and his stepfather that he was leaving for new waters—he was going to travel the oceans. Lily refused to let him go, saying she wouldn’t lose another son. Stunned at this; Tristan and even his stepfather, Demetrius, demanded that the comment be explained to them, that Lily tell them everything. Finally breaking down after so many years of silence, Lily told Tristan and Demetrius about the son she’d had with Ronan Meara—another boy named Orin. Tristan was perfectly aware that Ronan Meara was the one who had killed his father, and aggression tore through Tristan as he tried not to envelope a surge of hate toward all of his family. To say that Tristan was furious with his mother would have been an understatement. With even more anger and renewed vigour he left his clans waters, with absolutely no intention.

Tristan was far from skilled a living on his own. It was extremely difficult for him to survive after all of those years being sheltered by his grandfather and the others in the clan. He was exceptionally awful at looking after himself, especially after his first venture out onto land. After allowing his tail to transform into legs, Tristan walked the shores of Greece completely nude, uncertain of how it affected humans to see a man so liberal. A girl by the name of Chloe found him, and after giggling at him for more than a fair share of time, she took pity on him and brought her some clothes that belonged to her father. She was a sweet girl of eighteen, and she took him into her village in order to get some food into his system. Chloe didn’t seem to have any problems with it when Tristan told her he was a merman—he thought she would have run screaming—and in fact she embraced it. She gave him a place to stay (the basement of her home where her parents didn’t frequent) and helped him adjust slightly to the life of a human. Tristan actually came to really enjoy his time on land, embracing it with confidence like he attempted to do with everything else. Chloe introduced Tristan to her parents after a time, but both decided to keep his staying in their basement, and his merman heritage, a secret.

After she turned twenty, her parents decided to relocate to Hong Kong, and to take Chloe with them. Chloe—loving her family very much—couldn’t part with them, and so didn’t fight the decision to go. Tristan was heartbroken that she was going where he couldn’t follow, and watched with a pain in his chest as she and her parents drove off to the airport. When she was gone, Tristan returned back to the ocean with a lack of other alternatives. He was—no pun intended—like a fish out of water living there full time again. Still on the search for his brother and still trying to avoid contact with his mother back at home, Tristan was eventually located by a scout who convinced him to come to Halcyon.
