History and Character

Sister of Forgottenlord, 12 years his senior. When she was 16, she was kidnapped by a group of terrorists due to one being infatuated with her. He made her his wife after returning to his homeland. He rose through the ranks and was eventually given permission to form and head a parallel group to the one he served. He is still alive but his whereabouts are unknown.

Tristan, while initially fearful, slowly turned her fear into cold fury towards her husband. Eventually, this fury was channelled by her husband into some of the most deadly attacks ever made by terrorists and did not utilize explosives. With an outlet for all her rage, she slowly fell in love with her husband, who used her newfound closeness with him to create greater rage within her. She became one of the most deadly women on the planet.

However, not all went as could be hoped for. Eventually, their base of operations was assaulted. Both her and her husband were forced to flee (though not without creating numerous casualties to the assailing force). They were seperated and unable to locate each other.

With no one else to turn to, she went to her brother. By this point, he had become to the President of Forgottenlands. While he had heard of her many evils, he gave her refuge when likely no other like-minded nation would have. He hired her as an assassin - both to keep her public profile non-existant and to make use of her talents. Eventually, he founded a nation for her with which she could make the decisions and play as she so chose.

Her career as an assassin, however, was not over - though it had taken a turn for the worse. She misinterpreted a joke and nearly attempted to assassinate Pat MacNeil, the President of Aberdeen. On a later (real) mission, she was captured by a Blackrock assassin and was able to escape from their officials, returning to her home nation. No longer wishing his sister to remain in danger, Forgottenlord gave her to position of Vice-President, formalizing her command of Angel Fire that those in the know knew she had. This Vice-Presidency changed to Prime Ministerialship when the Forgotten Territories were reorganized

Brutal, psychotic, vicious beyond belief and always thirsty for blood she no longer could get in the normal course of action, she rules Angel Fire with an iron fist. Occasionally, rumors would come from the suburbs of Port Angel of 10 to 20 dead and witnesses claiming that she was spotted slaying them, but those are often quelled and never reach the ears of her media (nor, certainly, media outside her nation). The only saving grace is she deals with her Foreign politics in a manner that would at least satisfy Forgottenlord - even if it wouldn't be, necessarily, how he would handle it.

Her activities have been numerous since she gained her new power. She was given permission by her brother to sit in the peace talks between Bloopa and Coretta after the Corettan Embassy Slaughter incident where she continues to play the role of annoying nuisance to the peace process. She also authorized the formation of the Zerg forces which worsened relations between her nation and Bloopa. When Bloopa filed charges against her for this, she began a personal feud towards her fellow leader and now does everything in her power to berate and annoy the Bloopan leader - which does not make the peace process any simpiler.

Appearance

Despite her warrior nature, Tristan has never had her hair fail to reach her shoulders if she could help it. It is nearly always waist length and takes a variety of forms depending on what style and impression she wants to give. However, her normal form is braided down her back with the tips gelled into a thin strip that can leave marks in skin if its whipped about. If she's in a conference, she instead chooses to wrap it in a bun, keeping the bun together with two sharp daggers.

Her eyes are a dead brown. The right eye had sat only half an inch above a short, wide gash. Her right ear lobe is missing, her left ear lobe sports a sword earing that sometimes holds blood on its tip, a present from its most recent victim (she rarely removes evidence of her victims within a 24 hours of them being her victims). Slightly back of where the sword dangles is the upper limit of another scar - this one starting at the base of her lobe, going across the bottom of her chin and down the right side of her neck, down and right her chest and stops just below the armpit - continuing for a short ways across her arm. The lower portion of this scar is normally hidden from view by her uniform.

The uniform, itself, is the only thing she has worn in public during the latter years of her work with her husband and since her retirement from being an assassin. It was the first piece of clothing her husband had given her, and she made it the standard for the Angel Fire military. It's ripped and shares many of her scars. Two slashes go horizontally across the middle of her back, the right sleeve's front side had a slice right across it that went vertically half a foot. The rest are much more minor.

Toys

As previously mentioned, she has a sword earing. She also has what's know as a blood pen. Retracted, the tip is protected by 4 blades each extending an inch beyond the tip and 4 inches beyond their base. Even the tip is sharp enough to pierce skin, though she had never actually used it for such a purpose. Her left hip normally sports a pistol, though the model changes depending on her mood. Her right hip normally holds either her favorite sword (Death Blade) or, more regularly, a 6-inch knife (Bloodlust). When she goes for the kill, she prefers her prey to be closer rather than farther from her - she likes to taste the blood of her victims.

Childhood

Tristan, the elder sister of Forgottenlord, was born with a last name that's now classified (by Forgottenlord who has done everything in his power to have his family name kept hidden) to parents likewise unknown. Their place of birth, location of schooling, and even nationality or regionality remains unknown. Due to this, little is known of her past. However, it is known that she was talented in many aspects. Like her younger brother, she had a talent for politics - though unlike him, she didn't have a love for it. She was seen as a sweet girl who was always willing to help whomever would ask, friendly and always displayed a kindness that many around her loved. She had two junior high boyfriends and was dating her third when, at the age of 16, her biggest life altering event for her occured (Forgottenlord was merely 4 at the time).

Kane Angel, a Servant of Fallmak, one of the Clans of Nolak, lead an assassination team on some nearby important figure. Little is known about the target - Nolak doesn't keep records, Tristan never asked her husband, and it is not known who was on the team, what nation the target was for, nor even whether he was an economic, military or political target. All that can be assumed is that he was either a talented fighter or had talented bodyguards for Kane to have been leading an actual team into the area. Some suspect that Forgottenlord actually does know the target, he just doesn't wish to divulge the information as it would also give a clue to his past. What is known is that Kane became infatuated with Tristan Angel and after completing their mission, his team kidnapped her and brought her with him to his base. Upon arriving, he made her his wife.

Married Life

There are some romances that make women envious - giving them wishes of a romantic guy that comes by and sweeps them off their feet.

Tristan Angel's romance was not one of them.

Women were second class, and impure women, as Tristan was, were worth even less. Between the activities they did every night, the beatings, the admonishments, Tristan knew a life of fear. However, the strength given to her by her upbringing prevented her from following so many other women who sat in her position to equally horrible husbands in the camp. This fear became defiance and rage towards her husband. However, her rage fed upon his acts, and slowly it became her sole drive in life, the one thing that kept her going.

As this became her truth, she fell in love with her husband. As her love grew, he gave her more things to rage about, and slowly turned her rage so that it focused upon those that lived. The rage that drove her to live now drove her to kill - and kill she did. Kane had turned her into a deadly weapon. It was here that she had earned her nickname, Angel Fire, the idea being that she was beautiful but destructive. Using her as an example of his talents, the Nolak Council decided to give Kane his own Clan - the Kane Clan.

The Kane Clan initially was not much. Kane was a competent leader and Tristan was one of the most deadly women in the world, but one good leader and one good fighter did not create a good clan. Tristan, however, had thought of an idea. The concept of psychics had always appealed to Tristan, and through that she began imagining an organization known today as the Night Sisters. If she could just find one psychic, more could be recruited and the order could be built. She began hunting for a true psychic while she was on her missions.

A woman by the name of Tarella Bastra was the first. Tristan had sat down next to the woman on the bus who had looked at her and suggested that she had both the wish and the means of slaying everyone on the bus. When Tristan asked her how she knew that, Bastra said she wasn't sure how. She then proceeded (without prompting or Tristan mentioning it) to talk about Tristan's idea about the Night Sisters. She criticized Tristan's wish to mold them so they resembled Tristan's emotions of cold rage suggesting that a calmness would make them more adept at reading the world around them. Tristan scoffed at that idea but asked Bastra to join her and form the group - perhaps mold it. Bastra was indeed intrigued and became the first Night Sister. From Bastra, she was able to recruit many other Night Sisters.

For several years, the Night Sisters grew in number, ability and net knowledge. Nearly a year after they had been formed, the collective had been discovered and founded - becoming the centerpiece of their entire society. Ranks were set and benchmarks created to attain such ranks. As their society was given further and further structure, they moved from being psychic soldiers to nearly invincible battlefield entities. The Kane clan, numbering in the mere hundreds with just under 50 Night Sisters became as dangerous and powerful as any of the 10 Great Nolak Clans who numbered in the hundreds of thousands of members. For many years, the Angel family was amongst the most renouned terrorist groups in the world, and the Night Sisters as the most feared group alive.

Fall of the Kane Clan

Devin Narek, Leader of the Misnew Clan (one of the Ten Great Nolak Clans), brought an interesting statistic to the Nolak Council. by his estimates, for every Night Sister that was added, each of the Ten Great Nolak Clans would have to add 200 soldiers to their armies to be able to match. If a Night Sister was accompanied by ten soldiers, that stat spiked to a thousand. The Nolak Council was divided on how to treat this news. Some felt it was an indication that the Servants of Nolak would finally be able to overthrow the oppressive powers, others feared what might happen should Kane not be satisfied with the council. Narek was in the latter group and when the Nolak council refused to take immediate action, Narek took matters into his own hands.

Three nights after the meeting had started, Misnew troops attacked the main base of the Kane clan. The idea was not to wipe out the Night Sisters or even kill Kane or Tristan (though the death of either of them or the collapse of the Night Sisters were desireable objectives if they could be achieved). He deployed nearly 500 of his men to strike. Less than twenty survived the fight.

The plan was simple. The 500 were merely bait. They struck at the front door of the base and were able to take out the front guards before the Night Sisters had joined the fray. The major leaders of the Kane clan were ordered to evacuate - the Nights Sisters could sense that their death was not to come if they left the base. However, it left both Kane and Tristan without any connection to the Night Sisters. They had no way to access the collective.

As the battle raged on, the Collective saw the second prong of the attack - a missile strike, powerful enough to destroy the complex. The Night Sisters had to choose between protecting their charges and survival. The collective does not accept failure, and this was no exception. The Night Sisters stationed at the headquarters were killed with their opponents and nearly a hundred of Kane's troops.

In the chaos and the blaze of the destroyed base, the Angel family became seperated. Tristan found herself truly alone. She had fled with no officers, no Night Sisters, and no family. She didn't know where any other Kane Clan bases were - she had never visited one and it was not her right to ask. She could only locate Nolak bases, but with Misnew's attack, she didn't know if any of the Nolak clans would welcome her or let her live. Out of options, she turned to the past she had nearly forgotten. She had watched her brother's progress as he grew from child to politician. She had also seen indication that he had learnt the full details of her fate. Their parents were dead, he was her last hope.

Creation of Angel Fire

Forgottenlord welcomed his sister. His contacts had already told him about the Misnew attack so when she relayed this story to him, he knew she was telling the truth. He had a blood test done to prove their relation for the general public, who had quickly become fearful of the bloodthirsty woman.

It isn't known why, but Forgottenlord moved heaven and Earth to welcome his sister. He created a nation flying under her old nickname for her to shape into her own image. When she showed her disinterest in politics, he dealt with the political hagglings for her (following her principles rather than his own, despite the near opposite polarization on many issues) while she continued to pursue a career that he would otherwise have disapproved of.

Angel Fire flourished in prosperity and poverty. From slavery to obscenely rich, her existance brought out the most downtrodden society imaginable, while having an extraordinarily powerful economy. It was all that she could have hoped for.

No more Assassin

Tristan's days as an assassin were limited. When a joke was poorly interpreted, she nearly executed President Pat McNeil of Aberdeen. Only a few months later, a Blackrock64 assassin had captured her - and it was out of sheer luck that she was able to return to Angel Fire. Realizing the stress that such mistakes were having on her brother, she retired from that life and took up the place that Forgottenlord had reserved for her.

Forgottenlord chose a method of integrating her into politics rather than tossing her at the helm of Angel Fire. Slowly he gave her more and more control over the nature of the nation. As the population soared past a billion, he gave her full control of the nation with which the possibilities were endless.

During the time, her Night Sisters returned to her side. Feeling that Forgottenlord had given her a debt she would never be able to repay, she gave him her most valued treasure - Forgottenlord became the equal master to Angel Fire. She wanted him to be the sole master (and she made sure he knew it), but the Night Sisters would not hear their first master speak of such things - feeling they could never betray her.

However, she blind signed any idea he had of how to best restructure them. When Celeste was chosen to lead them, she didn't even think of dissent. Despite her personal beliefs, she agreed to the change in the Night Sisters' priorities - from assassins to body guards.

And yet, she still felt the debt was not repaid.

Eramian Summit

As Forgottenlord continued his quest to continue developing her skills, he approved her right to become a figure in the public eye. Her first prominent role was as a representative in the Eramian Summit peace talks between Bloopa and Coretta. Here, her talents and preferences in battle showed themselves clearly in her arguments. She attacked as swiftly as possible upon any arguments that were made. She found those with weaker courage and immediately shredded what little courage they had, trying as she could to find a solution that would meet her desires. In the end, she got as much as she expected, but little of what she wanted. Her main influence was in ensuring that the demilitarized zone between Coretta and Bloopa remained enforced.

However, the various leaders found themselves with a much different creature to concern themselves about. While Jonathon Noble of Imperfectia (the chair of the summit), who had met her before, was able to handle her, both the Bloopan and Dancing Prime Ministers found themselves nearly unable to confront her without suffering serious consequences. A new player of considerable personal strength had emerged on the Aberdeen field.

Her work gave Forgottenlord the belief she was now ready to take the helm. As the Eramian Summit continued, Forgottenlord reorganized his three nations into the Forgotten Territories, making her the Prime Minister of the nation.

Persona and Character

Tristan is bloodthirsty and deadly. She brings both intelligence and hostility to any meeting she attends. That said, this is not to suggest she is inflexible or incapable of other tactics, just that they are her preferred tactic. If she can spot it, all weaknesses are exploited as quickly as possible. She is quick to take offense and quick to anger. Caution must especially be taken in reference to her military nature - she does not enjoy being associated with an organized military and does not feel that her time in Nolak constitues the equivelent of military command. To suggest such a connection is seen as the equivelent of insulting her family - perhaps worse.

It should be noted that she uses her actions and appearance to help bring more force to her work. Sometimes they are extroardinarily subtle, but other times they are will change the mood of the room or show her intention. Often her choice of clothing and, even moreso, her choice of hair style will lead to key indicators of what tactics she'll prefer for that meeting. If she knows the people there, she may disguise her hair into one form when entering and then release it to take another so as to indicate either a switching or hiding of tactics. She doesn't concern herself with the fact people can read her, for blunt force and direct assaults she feels are the easiest way to address any matter. She can and occasionally does employ other tactics, but this is where her preference lies.

In combat, she can match many Night Sisters in capability and deadliness - even if her style is not as slick as their own. However, it is here where her brutality is the most refined - and her lust for blood has been known to take a literal meaning in the height of a battle. It is unknown why, but some speculate whether she becomes unstable in the midst of battles.

Important Relationships

Celeste McNair

Celeste is, to some degree, scared about Tristan. While the Night Sister collective continues to see Tristan as one of their masters, Celeste could probably never hold any true loyalty to Tristan. She, more than any Night Sister, feels the emotions that flow through Tristan's mind and can often be overwhelmed by the anger and rage that lies there - especially when Tristan is in the midst of combat and her bloodlust is at the peak. This also brings with it the advantage of Celeste being the only person that can actually understand the complex psyche of the leader - something that even baffles her brother at times.

Tristan has great respect for Celeste and tries to never cross her. However, she is concerned about Celeste's rather distant attitude towards her.

Forgottenlord

Tristan holds loyalty only to Forgottenlord. While she disagrees with (and often feels limited by) his beliefs, she tries to follow them - especially at the Foreign affairs level. Between the fact that they're siblings and the fact that he harbored her while the International community still deemed her as a terrorist has made her forever indebted to him. Upon creating the Armed Republic of Angel Fire, she pledged her loyalty and promised never to return to Nolak. Despite her nearly opposite belief system, Forgottenlord sees her as an important advisor on the International stage.

Jane Allen

Just as Tristan holds loyalty to her brother, Jane Allen holds an undivided loyalty to Tristan. This often creates conflict between Allen and Celeste. Jane sees even the thought of not putting Tristan before Forgottenlord as being the ultimate crime one can commit within the collective. She wonders whether Forgottenlord is a fraud master - given the right because Tristan was afraid of him - and sees Tristan as her one true master (and by extension, the collectives).

Tristan recognized this loyalty and chose to keep Jane close to her. This may have been a precautionary step towards a possible betrayal from Celeste as, while Celeste could single handedly defeat both Tristan and Jane simultaneously, she would be less inclined to attack or order the death of one of her own.

Kane Angel

Tristan's husband. He has yet to enter into the known Aberdeen realm so their current relationship is of much lesser importance. However, he will come, eventually.

Liz Paul

More than once, Liz and Tristan have quarreled. Liz finds Tristan to be too brutal in nature and her true loyalty is to the Forgottenlord. She serves Tristan only because Forgottenlord wanted her in the Angel Fire military. Tristan and Liz try to create a cautious peace between them, but more often than would be liked by their President, the peace breaks down into various death threats. With Liz's implants, she is slightly better suited to a fight between the two women, and Tristan often compensates for this by never actually bring it to the point of fighting.

The closest the two women did fight came about because Liz went hunting for Kane Angel. When Tristan discovered this, she used the Night Sisters to subdue Liz and gave the woman a death threat. Liz tried to resign after this incident but Forgottenlord convinced her to stay.
