Character's name: Tristane von Dumiere (Count)

Appearance: Tristane's long silky black hair hits him at the ass even when up in its usual pony-tail. The hair has quite a ways to go considering Tristane's wiry 150lb frame of 6'0ft. His peaches and cream complexion adds to his general seventeenth century Lordling appearance, and if it weren't for his dark brown eyes, one would think he truly was from the period. At 23 Tristane has no gashes or war-wounds bar a fight he lost to a toaster that left a burn scar on his index finger. Mostly seen in white, form fitting clothing Tristane is usually surrounded by women begging to touch him. His shirts are mostly sleeveless hooded affairs which gives him the wonderful ability to show off hairless underarms and Tristane's pants are mostly white dress-pants.

Personality: The Count is somewhat of a narcissist, he values beautiful things above all. Seeing himself as the most beautiful thing of all, some mistake this for self-value or confidence, its neither, he honestly thinks this. Although he does not collect things he considers 'ugly' he does not look down on such things either; be it dogs or broken china. After all, not everything could be as wonderful as him. His hobbies include vid-diving and computer hacking and he'd have a problem with the authorities if he weren't a VIP citizen. He's a bit of a snob to the authorities, mostly because he can be. He likes to cook although whether he is actually any good is debatable, the chefs constantly have to remind him that eggs do not go into mixes in their shells. He's a nice person mostly because of his egocentric ways, but he's fickle and shallow all the way to the core.

Power-balls: Tristane's power-balls are on gold bracelets around his wrists.

Power-ball 1 (right wrist):
- "Aulure" This is the unlocking word for shield that this power-ball summons up. The shield is made of energy and is not supseptiable to any form of contact, be it claw, sword, arrow or acid. Around a foot in each direction the shield is made out of green engery that flickers in the light and glows in the dark.
- "Tanenium" the unlocking word for the second of his powers, 'Tanenium' will turn Tristane's hair into 12ft long metal blades. The blades move like snakes and strike at whatever Tristane directs them to.

Power-ball 2 (left wrist):
-"Aniel" This is the unlocking word to turn Tristane into an overly large wolf. When he uses this ability his whole body becomes that of a huge black wolf's. When standing on all four legs the wolf comes to a 6'0ft person's chest. Its paws are big and its claws are like small daggers. His personality tends to turn into that of an animal's and after having used this power Tristane is usually a bit unusual in his eating habits. He can 'sort of' talk in his wolf form, as his voice chords aren't altered properly, but his words are VERY hard to understand and unless you're paying close attention it sounds like a collection of growls, barks and whines.
- "Rew" As a wolf Tristane can regenerate his wounds if he takes the time to sit down and chant 'rew' constantly for a while. Since he has to be conscious to do it, it usually only works on trivial wounds. He could re-knit a limb, but it would probably send him into a coma for a day or two unless he was on a power rush or something.

History: The only son of an old English noble family Tristane von Dumiere is not a self proclaimed Count he even has the birth cetificat to prove it. He has never worked a day in his life and probably never will. His family was involved in the building of Asriath and his grandfather had significant shares in the government parties involved in the selling of the house-blocks and areas located in Asriath. It's still paying off. Tristane's father has never worked either and the two avoid each other as much as possible because they DON'T get along. Tristane's mother died of heart-attack when Tristane was thirteen and its thought the stress of her death is what woke his locked power-balls up. Tristane's father wanted Tristane to go in for experimentation on the shimmering but Tristane 'decided' violently against becoming a human guinea pig and applied for the VIP citizenship available to him. He lives VERY comfortably on the allowance his dad sends him and the money the government gives him. He currently owns two night-clubs and a cafe in the east side of Asriath. He himself lives in a Miniature mansion that offers up boarding for shimmering in the north side of Asriath. Since he doesn't need the money that badly, his fares are incredibly cheap and considering the quality of the mansion people often wonder if someone died in it. To the back of his mansion is a vid-woods in which no one is permited entry. Tristane's only explanation is that its for their own protection if they don't want to get eaten.

Anything Else: Tristane's car is personalized and can't be opened by anyone without a key, he is one of the few people in the whole of Asriath with this system, of course people tend to recognize his vechile anyway because its a limo.
