"Oh boy. I'm so excited. Not." (Can I just add a theme song later? Super brain dead when it comes to music right now.)
Tristan Norwyn
Age: 22
The Ashen Revanchist
Tristan is a very... 'Normal' person, personality wise. Possessing no real personality quirks, he prides himself on his ability to become 'one' with a crowd. Nothing about him stands out, and he likes to keep it that way. Somewhat socially awkward, he's not very good when it comes to conversation. While sociable, he'll never go out of his way to strike up some chitter-chat. All in all, he's a quite... 'whelmed' individual.
Son of a knight and witch, Tristan grew up in Astapol unaware of his origins. Instead, he grew up like most other children of Astapol. In an orphanage where he was taught the art of combat. His performance was quite average, intentionally going out of his way to stay in the middle of the pack. If he had poured all of his effort into his training, he could have easily been above average, yet still below the children who were obviously God's gift to mankind. Damn Chosen Ones.
Yet the war reached its end before any children were thrust into the battlefield. Because that would have been crazy. Instead, he and his fellow orphans were conscripted to a War Company. The idea was for them to continue their training before becoming apart of Astapol's official army. And many did. Except for Tristan. He literally fell down a hole into a cave where he was assumed to have died.
But he didn't. It wasn't a massive drop so he got off with only a sprained ankle. After making his way out of the cave, he figured he had two choices. A: Go back to the War Company. B: Adventure. 15 year old dumbass Tristan chose adventure. And boy did he get more than he bargained for. While he does his best to keep his history private, it's a well known fact he was involved with The Whiteviolet Purge, though to what extent is unknown.
Now 22, Tristan is a mercenary, though he frequently finds himself taking commissions from the Astapol Army to handle matters they deem important, yet not worth expending man-power on.
