Tristan Storm

Tristan Storm is a 21-year-old 5th Year student at Lavender Moon Arts in the Sunlit house. His image colour is eggplant. He is the pianist and backing singer of the band LunarForce.

## Backstory

Tristan Herbert Storm was born and raised in North London in the mid-2000s to two English parents who were former rockstars in the 90s. He is the cousin to Urania's Mirror's Scarlett Storm.

Growing up, Tristan was somewhat reserved. He was always quite shy when it came to talking to new people, unsure about who to open up to all the time. He often felt it was hard to make friends when he saw himself as weird, desperate to make himself look ordinary. He never discloses to anyone that he's the son of the lead singers from the famous 90s grunge bands "Iguana" and "Trash".  Because of this, he is hyper-aware of himself and the people around him, which is essentially the reason he wouldn't allow his cousin, Scarlett, into Lunarforce.

Tristan taught himself piano, despite being taught guitar from when he was young. He feels more at home behind a keyboard, where he's out of sight yet still in control of what happens in the songs.

Tristan is the joint leader of the band Lunarforce and treats the band as a permanent job, despite being in full-time education. He doesn't see the band being particularly successful, and in reality, wants it as a distraction from being awkward in his everyday life.

## Personality

Despite always smiling, Tristan often suppresses his authentic expressions. He naturally has a very expressive nature, often loving to grab his favourite people and squish them. He tries not to let people see him be his true self, often hiding his funny outbursts from anyone but his best friends.

Many people are attracted to Tristan as he is outwardly empathetic; guys, gals and enbies alike are all drawn to his level of understanding and wholesomeness. Tristan is very generous as well, frequently nursing people with bad hangovers back to health, no matter who they are to him.

Tristan desires a peaceful environment, which secures himself and the people he loves. He prefers more intellectually inclined people or those with similar likes and desires. At times, he can seem a bit aloof and detached when in reality, he is searching for the right thing to say, desperate for it not to look too weird. Many people think he is a bit of an airhead because he once took 40 minutes to answer whether or not he liked KFC.

## Physical Description

21-year-old Tristan Storm has undercut, 90s curtain bangs in a dark purple shade with frosted lilac tips, and kind, droopy dark amber eyes, and short light eyebrows.

Many people who meet Tristan are drawn to his outwardly handsome and unique appearance, as well as his sweet personality and his air of non-judgement. Tristan stands at about 190cm, or 6'3, making him the tallest member of Lunarforce. He has light skin that tans darker than Rikku's natural shade in any spot of sunlight. Tristan wears the uniform relatively neatly, wearing a dark purple cardigan vest over the top of his long-sleeved shirt, which rolls up to his shoulders. He usually wears one pair of black and white converse, as he lost all of his shoes one night after a weekend-long bender with June, Bunni, Scarlett, Peppa and Rikku.

Outside of wearing the assigned uniform that he doesn't always bother to wear, he wears black t-shirts with subtly menacing messages on the back and jeans. He prides himself on being the only 'normal' member of Lunarforce.

## Clubs and Hobbies

Tristan was a part of the secret club "grape throwers anonymous" before creating Lunarforce with Florent.

His hobbies include eating grapes, throwing food he doesn't like at people's heads and pretending it wasn't him, reading conspiracy theories, playing the piano and dancing when no one can see him.

Tristan goes out almost every weekend when he's done rehearsing, meeting new people and going on dates. He is sometimes quite obviously waved in classes, his eyes always becoming a neon red whenever he wakes up after a party or night out in the town. His favourite person to bring along is Rikku, as they both encourage each other to do crazy things constantly, unlike everyone else who is concerned about their own welfare.
