character information
● name: Tristan Clark
● canon: Original (Boys & Monsters)
● canon point: After Marco's return from Hell, during the time of Tristan learning to work with his new Spectral abilities.
● age: 27

● (original) world & background: not a god, not a devil my soul shall take.

● abilities: Some of Tristan's abilities are very dependent on spirits and their nature and how they exist within Limbo. Please feel free to let me know what will and won't work here.

● phantom radio Tristan has the ability to "tune into" the voices of various earth-bound spirits that are milling in and around limbo. (This is very dependent on Riverview and how spirits work here!)

● psychometry Tristan is capable of seeing through the eyes of old spirits via touching an object that once belonged to them. Tristan enters a trance-like state and is capable of seeing through their eyes what occurred just prior to their death up to 5 hours back. (Again, probably very dependent on Riverview and how you guys handle it!)

● holy light Primarily used for dispelling demons and negative entities, projecting a brilliant light that sings with benevolence. Holy light will heal anything from paper cuts to (most) gaping wounds. Manifests as soft motes of animated light or threads of light. Can infuse an object or person with warmth.

● divine fire Upon calling forth a blessed fire, Tristan can raze enemies to the ground with a torrent of flame that burns only those with negative intent. Tristan seldom uses this as it is incredibly violent and volatile, sometimes even difficult to control. It is particularly powerful during times of emotional duress and sometimes even seems to have a life of its own.

● standard witchcraft Tristan went to school to study the ins and outs of witchcraft. He was also taught by his mother, who is a very powerful hearth witch and fortune teller. He's well-versed in divination, exorcism, and sacred geometry, which in his world is the utilization of various line and glyph patterns and placements to create powerful spells for healing, creation, transmutation, and transport, though the latter most is not his strongest suit. He is also knowledgeable in various herbs and holistic healing remedies as well. And he's not a hack. He knows his shit.

● amplifying tattoos He's covered in them, and they each do a special something to his magic. Some are old and defunct while others are fairly new and assist in amplifying his new magic (and some are just plain sentimental.)

● strengths:

● determined Tristan doesn't let himself get swept under by forces bigger than himself, and when he's knocked down, he'll get back up again. When his magic was taken from him, Tristan refused to sit around and mope, doubling down on his studies and trying to research every avenue to get his powers back. When Marco disappeared off the face of the earth, he spent his days using any means necessary to find him. Even now, when you tell Tristan he can't do something for one reason or the other, he'll double down and say he most definitely can. Giving up isn't really an option, his mother raised him better than that.

● smart cookie He's a pretty smart witch, the kind who always loves to learn, experiment, and play around with magic. He'll read every book he can get his little hands on and he loves to learn from others, especially those who clearly are far more experienced than he is with it. On top of that, he has an extensive knowledge on the magical arts of his world and a complex understanding of how it works and how to manipulate it.

● open (spell)book policy Everything that Tristan is as a person is laid out on the table from the start, which makes him one of the most honest people you'll ever meet. He's unashamedly himself and doesn't care really if the whole world sees. He uses his magic openly, doesn't censor himself or his beliefs, and doesn't really give a shit about what people think of him to his core (though something that I'll mention it now, and again later, that the one thing Tristan cares about is being useful to people and that people consider him useful.)

● weaknesses:

● self-depreciating Tristan thinks very little of himself, even now as he's in the process of gaining new powers. After the accident, making something of himself was difficult and put a wear on his sense of self worth that he didn't have to worry about before. While Tris is most certainly electric in personality, quick to smile right up to his eyes, he's prone to bouts of putting himself down without a moment's hesitation, believing himself to be the most expendable, even referring to what he does as "cheap magic" instead of the real thing sometimes. In time, he knows he'll get stronger, but he wants it all at once instead of at a slow trickle, and he finds it frustrating to deal with.

● over-protective While being devoted to his friends and family is a very positive trait, it can be smothering at times. When someone proclaims that they're about to do something incredibly stupid, trust Tristan to catch wind of it and immediately protest, to the point where it is exhausting. It can definitely come off as selfish on his part, as Tristan feels that he's not much of anything without his friends, though it isn't something he airs out very often. Good news? When you sign up for a friendship with Tris, you sign for life. Bad news? He's going to do whatever it takes to make sure harm doesn't come your way.

● hypocritical And on that same note, Tristan is a hypocritical jerk at times. When he tells someone to stop pushing themselves or to please not do the stupid thing, he goes and does something that's just as stupid instead. Again, it's selfish, it's careless, and it's all based around his lack of self worth that's stuck around for quite some time now.

● job skills (optional): Witchcraft! /gasps dramatically (but he's not pulling rabbits out of hats or turning people into frogs or eating children), great at healing, he's also a giant nerd and would make for a great researcher/archivist probably.

● housing (optional): --
