He believes in various superstitions and is a strong believer in the supernatural and outside forces. Some members of his species are said to be able to communicate with the dead after performing some rituals. Scientists have theorized that his species hold a strong psionic ability which comes into play with this, but no tests have been done to prove, or disprove it.

He does what he does because he knows its right and wants nothing in return but gratitude. |

| Strengths & Weaknesses | Tristan has a telekinetic ability (Which only works at a certain distance) which is a rare ability among his species. However the weight of an object also means he must put a stronger amount of focus into it, this also takes a tole on him. As well as being trained in a variety of martial arts and weapons, Tristan is a skilled hunter/tracker, his eyes adjust very quickly to the pitch black, and has a vast knowledge of the occult as well as various alien rituals. He believes that often someone, or something, will play a greater hand in current events and this higher power is responsible for ones fate and destiny. Tristan has a certain Vulcan-like demeanor in his tone and speech, which often comes across as humorless and cold to those around him. One the other hand, those who have gotten to know him, describe him more of having a quiet wisdom to him. While he may not show it, he cares a lot, and will go at great lengths for someone else when he feels they are in trouble of wronged. This has caused him to be goal driven, to the point of almost being obsessed, so he has trouble letting things go. He will often go days, sometimes weeks, without food and water in order to keep working at something that is bothering him. In some rare cases, these obsessions, have driven him to forgo certain rules for the sake of figuring something out. |

| Personal History | Tristan belongs to a space fairing species known as he Dreq'an, or Dreq, who are nomadic. They travel from planet to planet, often visiting the same planet more than once, and staying there for a certain length of time. They are known as warriors and poets. Artists and philosophers. Priests and scientists. The Dreq'an will sometimes try to open communication with species on a planet to trade and safe passage. In return, they offer what they have, and services ranging from manual labor to cooking (which they have been known to make a variety of cuisines because of their vast knowledge of other words and cultures). However, because the majority of them are skilled hunters and warriors, they are often sought out as mercenaries and guides. He was born to Alistair and Esmeralda Balor and, for most of his life, he has spent it constantly moving. Tristan's race spend most of their time from one place to another with no exact location of a primary home. Because of this, Tristan has always been taught, that your home is not a place you live in but those whom you share your life with. Your family are those you let in and don't end with those you share blood. Growing up, Tristan has always spent his life wanting to be like his father, whom held the position of their clan's leader. To some he was a great warrior. To others he was a wise man. To him, he was simply, his father so Tristan never saw much of a difference between the two. At an earlier age, he knew right away, he would pick up a sword and learn the ways of how to be a Dreq'an Warrior. He saw now high calling, other than clan leader, so he spent countless days training. It wasn't till, his 18th birthday, Tristan's training was finally put through the test and he was given the chance to go through the ceremony in order to be allowed to being his formal training. The ceremony would span three days and contain a variety of tests. The first was a test of endurance. He would be given special chemicals markings that would push his body and mind passed the norm. Should he survive, he would move on to the next day and the second test. The next was a test of strength. Tristan, and the other chosen, would be given the task to trek into the wilderness and return the following morning with an animal they hunted and killed. They weren't given supplies or weapons and would have to fend for themselves. This test was exceptionally challenging because he could often become cut throat so, no only were they fighting their surroundings, but also each other. The last was a test of character, which was known as the most challenging. It consisted of three fights. This first was a fight between three teams of three. The second was a fight between the three members of the teams. The final was that of the one left standing and a member of the Dreq'an Warriors. The one chosen didn't always have to win the fight, but to show great promise in it. After all of this, when night came, the last ceremony was to be held. This ceremony acting as a means of judgement where those wanting to be a part of the Dreq'an Warriors would be evaluated on their conduct, actions, and skills. The leader of the clan would then decide if they are worthy to walk the path and mark them as Dreq'an Warrior candidates. Tristan did well in every tests, most importantly, in the second. While it is still a test where the other chosen are pitted against each other, it is never stated that they could not help one another. As long as each candidate makes their own kill and survives the night on their own hands, they are allowed help from the others. Tristan did exceptionally well, helping a wounded candidate, but also making sure he passed utilizing his own two hands. This, not only showed his potential to be a leader, but his understanding that every candidate has the opportunity to succeed and to follow the same path. After so many years of travelling the stars with his people, and rising in position as a warrior, they ended up on a planet where they were met with hostility. The conflict with this race seemed to grow slowly, but when one attack ended in the death of some Dreq'an in their clan, there was no stopping what came next. Their had to be retaliation and Tristan was caught in the middle. While venturing on his own, he encountered a member of the race that was attacking them, and learned that they had managed to land on a planet in the middle of a war between two sides. The ones the through were attack them, were actually, also being attacked themselves. Tristan had to warn his father, and explain to the others of their error, but it was too late. While journeying back home to their camp, he came across a group of his people headed to a small village where innocent people were. When he confronted his fellow warriors, they would not listen, and only brushed it off as nonsense. Tristan had to stop them and he saw no other choice other than to fight. Without any warning, Tristan attacked his fellow Dreq and struggled against the numbers, but it soon caught up with him. What he did, while in protection to those who were as peaceful as his own race, was still an act of treason and there was only one punishment. Banishment. A ruling that his own father had no choice but to follow. Tristan was soon left on the planet, with no family, and no people. No longer considered a warrior. Just a Dreq'an with no clan and no honor. After a year or so on the planet, remaining hidden from the warring inhabitants, Tristan finally encountered a space faring race that gave him passage off the planet. On the U.S.S. Persephone, he was given a temporary accommodations until they reached a space station where Tristan could remain, but his destiny was no on the station. While in route, the Persephone was attacked and boarded, by another ship. Tristan did what he knew was the right thing and defended the people who took him in and helped them drive off their attackers. Because of his help, and heroism, The Captain spoke to him about joining Starfleet and continuing his journey in the Federation. He even offered to write Tristan a letter of recommendation which would help in their decision. ((WILL CONTINUE LATER)) |
