Personality: Tristan is very unusual for a Hermes. He is neither described as adventurous, brave, or playful. He prefers Dramas and Tragedies to Comedies and Farces. He is very quiet and gives mostly one word answers. He likes solitude, but also people. But not large crowds, small intimate gatherings of close friends to partake in foreign-movie-drama watching. He is a very serious boy, but also has a trouble streak a mile wide.
He has a horrible temper that explodes quite randomly and at very little provacation. He has difficulty apologizing and voicing his emotions. He is a shy boy by nature and tends to stick to the edges of the crowd. He is somewhat backwards in his approach towards people. He tends to blurts things out without thinking, and can be brutally honest. Overall, he avoids people and socializing as much as possible.
He's a romantic at heart and often falls in love several times over, and very hard. He does not say anything to the girls he believes himself to be in love with. The embarrassment would be to much for him.
He was overlooked from the beginning and often feels he has to take his brother Kieran's place and he often feels overwhelmed for having to be two people. This also adds to his introverted personality. History: Georgette Kingsley had never been a very interesting woman. While she was intelligent, and one of the premiere art critics Southern California, she was described as boring and sleep-inducing. She held the record for the fastest time for putting a lecture hall of usually attentive students to sleep. Ten minutes. Not only that, but Georgette (called Georgie by her few and distand friends) stuttered horribly. It was not a cute stutter that people find charming, but one of annoyance. Five minutes to say, 'I think that's stupid'.
Georgie knew she was boring and kne wher stutter was horrible, so she simply stopped talking in public places, and even in private. She instead took to putting all her notes and presentations on powerpoints, with one of her assitants reading her notes aloud. Georgie's success was partially credited to this unconvential, but still boring, way of lecturing. At least no one fell asleep...
Georgie did however have a secret love. For the longest time, she had a crush on a slight young man she saw only occasionally and in the oddest places. The Empire State Building's elevator, the Guggenheimer museum, the Brooklyn museum. As she walked the halls, she found herself following him increasingly. As soon as she spotted him, she would follow him until she lost sight of him.
Georgie was at a turtletail party, and was getting quite drunk. Her stutter turned into a horrible slur and soon she was singing Like A Virgin on a table in front of millionaires and their wives. She stumbled over the roasted pig, saw the ground approaching and swiftly and saved by the man she had always stalked. Wanting to show him gratitude and overcome by alcohol, she excused herself to the bathroom and brought the man with her.
She awoke to find herself on the cold tiles of a hotel room's bathroom, hugging the toliet and almost completely naked. The man was no where to be found. However, she did find a winged shoe under a dresser and as the shoe flew around the room, she fainted. Soon Georgie noticed she was sick every morning, and when even alcohol failed to subdue the inevitable, she took herself to a doctor. She was pregnant. With twins.
Georgie retired for a short while from her job (even if she no longer had one after her drunken display at the turtletail party). She soon went into premature labor and found herself in the maternity ward, giving birth to twin boys. Kieran was born first and was a healthy and overweight baby boy who smiled even in the beginning.
Tristan was born next. Small and wrinkled, already looking like an old man, he was nodded at and recorded, then deposited in the nursery. Kieran was passed from nurse to nurse and cooed over. Even Georgie favored her eldest son, who reminded her so much of the boy's father.
Kieran was showered with love, for he was boisterous and happy, while Tristan was praised for his smart and thoughtful nature. Tristan turned to the arts and classics while Kieran was an all American boy. Football and girls and stealing, though he was almost never caught. At age twelve, during a rare family dinner where Georgie was getting drunker then usual, she spilled everything about the man, the bathroom, the booze, and the boys. Kieran was amused that his mother was a whore, Tristan was disappointed. He always imagined a whirl-wind romance involving star-crossed lovers common in Shakespeare.
About five minutes after Georgie finished, Tristan and Kieran were claimed by their father, Hermes. A Cadceus appeared above their heads. Kieran was overjoyed, he was special! Tristan was saddened, this meant he would have to be different. They were enrolled in Half Blood Academy, once they turned fourteen. During Sophmore year, when the boys were fifteen, Kieran had a brash idea to test his powers and rob a bank. He did not succeed. He was caught, shot at, and killed. Tristan mourned silently, for even though the boys were extremely different, they were twins and that was something even more special then being demi-gods.
Tristan was the focus now at Half Blood Academy, for Georgie sunk into depression and drank even more. Tristan has never once been free since his brother's death, having to constantly prove that he is a good son, a worthy brother, and a true hero. Abilities: +Is quick footed +good a pulling pranks and theiving +can remember messages people give him.
