**Rip Tristan** (リップ＝トリスタン, **Rippu Torisutan**?) was a member of Under. He is a Negator with the alias **Unrepair**.

## Appearance

Rip has mid-length blond hair and wears an eye-patch-like mask that covers most of the right side of his face. He wears a dark purple suit with a white tie, brown finger-less gloves, and a white t-shirt underneath. Blood is often seen trailing out from his eyepatch. He has a small pair of blood bag earrings which hang off of each ear. He's regarded as being a bit of a pretty-boy.

His legs are the Artifact Blade Runner.

After becoming a child, he loses the suit and wears a hoodie, shorts, and sneakers.

A few months later, in the Unbelievable Arc, he is no longer seen wearing the eyepatch.

## Personality

Rip is very playful and methodical. He is introduced as being somewhat merciful, giving Unseen a chance to join him instead of killing him with his ability, though he's later shown to have no issue killing Negators he deems useless. He also has some sort of grudge against The Union, seeing how he refuses to hand over Unseen. That said, he also is shown to be nice to enemies he respects, and even offers Fuuko and Andy spots on his team despite their attempts to kill him.

His kind hearted side was shown further when he was with Akira Kuno, when Akira used the Time Control Artifact to bring him back to his adult body, he told Akira that they can possibly revert him and save Akira's life, this is also shown with Leila.

Latla states that Rip will continue to be the Villain and not the Hero because he will do whatever it takes to save Leila, implying he was a truly good person as a Surgeon before her death took place.

## Plot

### History

Prior to joining Under, Latla lost her sister, Leila, due to unknown circumstances. Latla and Rip were devastated due to her death, with Latla blaming herself for predicting the fortune that led to Leila's death and Rip blaming himself for operating on her and unintentionally triggering his Unrepair abilities. The two decided to join Under to find the Ark, redo reality and bring Leila back from the dead.

## Powers & Abilities

**Unrepair** (不治 (アンリペア) , *Anripea*?): Any damage inflicted by Rip cannot be repaired, be it by natural healing, Negator abilities or an UMA's regeneration, thus rendering even minor wounds possibly fatal. This also includes actions that would indirectly heal the target if repairing them is the intention, such as injuring oneself further or trying to stop the bleeding. Rip explains to his targets that killing him will undo his ability, therefore turning attacks against him into healing techniques that he can negate.

**Master Knifemanship**: Rip is very skilled at using his scalpels in combat, using them both as blades and as projectiles. He uses them in conjunction with his negation so that any cuts he creates will never heal.

**Surgical Skill**: Rip used to be an extremely proficient surgeon and retains that medical knowledge, but because of Unrepair he can never perform surgery again.

## Equipment

**Blade Runner** (走刃脚 (ブレードランナー) , **Burēdoran'nā**?): An artifact that Rip has instead of legs which allows him to shoot blades by kicking. It also has thrusters that allow him to fly and move with great speel.

**Scalpels**: Rip has a plethora of scalpels on his person. He uses them both as blades and as projectiles.

**Unnamed Blade Arm Artifact**: During Ragnarok, Rip replaced his left arm with an unnamed artifact, similar in appearance to Blade Runner, that took the form of a metallic arm with an extendible blade at the wrist.
