Prince Tristan

Prince Tristan is a character in Mini-Grand 5317

Biography:
A 30 year-old veteran of the Internet, Tristan hung out at a few other sites (and did some unimportant stuff like getting a Bachelor's degree in math) before eventually coming to whatever the Selvsetterverse equivalent to this place is called, I forget if we specified. Although the site had a focus on art, Tristan was never much for it; however, when the writing-oriented Grand Battles started up, he found the idea very appealing and immediately signed up. At first, his entry (a vampiric toaster) wasn't taken seriously, but with a little insistence that yes, he was seriously entering a toaster into a battle to the death, he was allowed in. His character immediately became a favorite, and after a year he proceeded to win the battle. In the process, he made quite a few friends and took on quite a few battle-related responsibilities. He never could get random people to stop calling him "Prince", though.

Description:
Prince Tristan is about six-foot tall, has brown hair that used to be blond, and wears glasses.

He's generally a pretty easygoing guy, though he can be irritable sometimes. He's got Asperger's Syndrome and is often reluctant to start a conversation with someone he doesn't know very well. He tries to be diplomatic when he does talk to people, and generally gets along with them well enough when he actually opens up a bit.

He can also be very, very silly when he chooses to be. Which is pretty often.

Items/Abilities:
Tristan knows math reasonably well, but he's forgotten some of the more advanced stuff off the top of his head. (Do not talk to him about complex analysis.) Still, he can get lost in an interesting problem once in a while.

His main specialty is unconventional tactics. He has a number of weird and wacky ideas in his head, and every once in a while he comes up with a way to make one of them work. Whether it's sheer skill or if there's something else to it, no one is entirely sure.

One side effect of this is that he's got a good knack for tactics-oriented video games.

Finally, he has a "talent" for badly-drawn art. He may find a way to make use of this.

Tristan carries a Hewlett-Packard laptop, and an original-model Nintendo DS. Also his wallet and house key, though the latter probably won't be particularly useful.
