Tristann Reaves.

[Tristann]

Tristann Reaves. Appearance Race: Akalak Gender: Male Age: 49 Birthday:65th day of winter, 465 AV. Birthplace: Riverfall. Appearance: Tristann is unusual for his kind, coming it at just 5 ft 7, 140 pounds he's both shorter and slimmer then is seen amongst his people giving him smaller if no less well defined muscles and the appearance of being an average sized human more then an Akalak. His skin is a deep and untouched midnight blue whilst his eyes are pale gold. Character Concept Tristann's personality is split as are all of his kind, the half that he was born with is loyal, dedicated and determined to become a renowned warrior amongst his people despite is small stature. He considers his family to encompass anybody who is important to him and when threatened he will do whatever it takes to protect or avenge them no matter the cost to himself. He has a strong sense of what is right and what is wrong which has lead to his desire to explore and to hunt down slavers, bandits and the other scum that prey on those unable to defend themselves. The second darker half of his personality is more secretive and closed off interacting little with those around him but always watching for the chance to strike, while in a fight his good half will choose the best way to put his oppoent down without hurting them in training his darker half would seek to cause them as much pain as possible without permanently maiming them. Both sides are courageous in a fight and when beaten will keep coming until they're unable to do so anymore often resulting in becoming injured themselves because of it. Character History From a young age Tristann was considered something of a curiosity amongst his people, something which he blamed his human mother for because she was small in stature herself and he was certain that his own small nature was her fault. As he aged and began to learn the discipline and traits of his people his anger at his mother faded as he recignized that he was not truly angry with her but rather at the fact that many amongst his people deemed him unfit to be a part of the warrior caste because he lacked the imposing size and large muscles typical to his people, something which he fought against determinedly. At the age of 15 his parents began his education on Akajia, being bearers of her mark themselves he was forced to endure hours of lectures on her history and nature every day and in time began to worship her as his family did though he has not earned her favor. It was at this time that his second personality manifested itself and Tristann discovered that it was more drawn to Akajia then his initial personality was, it preferred to watch rather then interact and rarely shared anything it had discovered instead hoarding the information. His struggle against being pushed out of the warrior caste had continued uninterupted and he routinely came home covered in bruises and gashes having challenged far stronger warriors to a duel only to be beaten down when his strength failed. He earned some measure of respect when day after day he came back no matter how battered his body to try again refusing to accept that he could not be a warrior, finally at the age of 20 he found an answer to his struggle. On his knees before his latest foe his strength failing again he grabbed for his oppoents dagger in desperation and threw himself at his enemy, being far larger his oppoent was so surprised he allowed Tristann to get inside his striking range and found himself floored when he was unable to counter the smaller blade or gain the distance to use his sword until a blow to his leg put him down. After this many of the warriors attitudes towards Tristann changes and the open doubts of his future as a warrior faded to be replaced by a wary respect as he quickly excelled in the art of knife fighting using his smaller frame and greater agility to get inside his oppoents reach where they could not effectively counter him. He still regularly recieved beatings when he failed to dodge a blow that prevented him from closing but the warriors stopped seeing a fight with him as a certain win when more then 1 of them underestimated him and his long knife only to find themselves on the ground before him, often he would attempt to put them down without serious harm to them but he noticed that when his darker personality was in control his fighting style became more brutal seeking rather to hurt his opponent then to simply beat him. He earned his place amongst the warriors when he was allowed to join a hunting party years later nearing adulthood and slew several bandits coming home with his knife blooded and half a dozen flesh wounds where he had failed to evade blows in time, having proved himself amongst the warriors he was given a series of lessons in dual wielding by warriors who sought to counter his disadvantage in power with an edge in attack speed, however he soon found that learning to fight effectively with 2 blades was more complicated then he had expected. Entering adulthood he began to yearn for life beyond Riverfall and spent several days at a time camping a short distance beyond it's borders and exploring the ground beyond it's area of control, a hobby which earned him his first scar when he was attacked by a beast in the wild and was wounded defeating it. He wears that scar as a badge of pride to this day and it did little to dampen his enthusiasm for adventure and he began to spend a great deal of time seeking out those who had been to other lands to hear tales of strange places he hoped one day to see for himself and found every scrap of information he could on Cyphrus to learn about the wonders to be found near his home. Throught this time he steadily saved up any money he could and began gathering the supplies he would need to set out into the wider world his desire to explore and unbury the secrets that had been lost in the cataclysm that nearly ended the world. This desire was joined by one to hunt the slavers and bandits of the world who despite knowing how fragile it had become since it's near destruction continued to think only of themselves bringing misery and suffering to anybody not strong enough to fight them off.

The height range received special permission previously I acquired it before I made up the sheet. I'll get to work on the rest now.
The below link is the permission to have a smaller, lighter Akalak then is common.

I left out the poor language because it fit his having dedicated all of his time to training to the exclusion of all else so he only knows enough languages to speak with other warriors and trainers.

Ops, I had exactly what I intended to do for the second personality mapped out then forgot to include it.
