combat statistics,
KNIGHTMARE FRAME: staff will add this later
STRENGTHS: Tristan excels at a handful of things, each of these things shows the meat of his character. As a knight, he is proficient in the art of swordplay, being able to very easily protect himself and others. He's also quite agile, and able to react quickly in situations that a normal person would not. These two strengths tie into his skill as a Knightmare pilot, as the Vincent he pilots wield swords.
Not only that, but due to Tristan's training in Boxing and Savate, he's able to somewhat read the movements of a knightmare due to the fact that the joints are quite similar to the human body. This however is limited to unarmed melee attacks, and is by no means a perfect ability, as Just because you can read something, doesn't mean you can combat against it.
Tristan also has a high level of endurance, which makes him quite resistance to damage, this applys to all sorts of situations,From taking damage in a fight, to withstanding torture for long periods of time.
WEAKNESSES: Tristan isn't much of a ranged fighter, as his accuracy is quite low. This makes him inclined to fight close up, only going for his guns when he believes he has a good chance of hitting his target.
Tristan has a low level of stamina. While his resistance to damage is quite high, he does in fact get tired after a short while. Due to this, Tristan seeks to finish confrontation's quickly before he tires.
The last of Tristan's weaknesses is the greatest of them all, and only kicks in when his stamina is drained. He carries a genetic condition which makes it extremely difficult for him to breathe, and blurs his vision greatly. If he attempts to continue on, despite his affliction his condition worsens ending in either one of two ways, death or unconsciousness.

personal accounts,
On this very same surface, Tristan chooses to live by the classical means of what it is to be a knight of royalty, acting chivalrous as if it were second nature, and sticking his knightly duties above all else. He pretends to respect most who rank above him, addressing them with their proper titles and even bowing accordingly when the need arises.
However as noted before, this is only a facade, when Tristan is not attending school, participating in a social gathering or attempting to please those above him, his true nature shows through. A man who is disinterested in society how it currently stands, and feels that a drastic change is needed. He's very straightforward and blunt, to the point where his words could even be called cruelty. However to Tristan they are not as such, his words are merely the truest form of honesty, as well as logic.
When upon the field of battle, Tristan sheds all thoughts of hesitation and remorse, going by the idea that " one who chooses to fight for their country, beliefs or ideas, must also be ready to die for them," he never hesitates to comply to his orders, save for when the situation calls for him to do such, nor does he hesitate to finish off the opposition, as he merely sees it as one more time he himself has escaped death and just another step towards the eventual betterment of society.
Unlike many other Britannians, Tristan does not believe that he is superior to the conquered Japanese, he feels that rebelling against what one feels is greatly unjust is action that any group of people would choose to take. While he does not sympathize with them, he can identify with them, as he fights in order to produce change, just not change in the sense that things will return back to the way they were before.
While much of the respect Tristan shows is falsified, this doesn't mean that he lacks the abilities to have true attitudes and feelings towards the people around him. If Tristan feels that one is deserving of actual respect or friendship, then his feelings towards them are true and he is willing to do most anything for them, even risk his own life, an example of one such person is Nero Di Britannia, whom Tristan suspects of keeping some secret, the prince he has sworn to protect. Tristan does not feel obligated to him, as to him, Nero seems more like family than a stuck up burden.
ITEMS: Tristan carries a select few, albeit important items on his person at any given time.These items are the ones that Tristan sees as most useful, or most valued. The first as well as most personal of these items is a solid gold pocket watch, that has been passed down to him to every Corbett male. Etched onto the cover of the watch is the image of a crow.
The second item in his possession is the crest of Nero Di Britannia, third prince of Britannia. This item serves the purpose of showing Tristan's status as a Knight, he also treasures it as a gift from his close friend.
When permitted to carry weapons, Tristan often carries only two, one being an Estoc which he keeps sheathed at his side until the need to draw it arises, or if he just feels like waving the sword about in plain boredom. While it is not the most unique or ornate blade, It does it's job well.
The last item on the short list of things that Tristan carries is his handgun, the particular model being a Walther P99, which he keeps on the opposite side from his Sword. It's Magazine size is sixteen, not including the bullet in the guns chamber.
FAMILY: Arthur Corbett [Father]; Catherine Corbett [Mother]
HISTORY: Born into a family of noble blood, Tristan was born and raised within the confines of Pendragon, his entire life being planned from the very beginning, as he was destined to serve as a soldier, despite his genetic abnormalities; which many people know nothing about. As a child he was conditioned to act as a noble should, conditioned to wear a mask of false feelings, etiquette, how to be a proper gentleman. Things that he had never been truly interested in, only doing them for he felt the need to compensate for his imperfection.
Tristan had practically no one he could truly call his friend, every other child he knew could not be trusted, as each one of them seemed to have ulterior motives in befriending him, save for the exception of one child, who just so happened to be the third prince of Britannia, Nero. Tristan took a liking to the prince, as even in such an early stage of their lives, they shared a similar view of the world surrounding them. To Tristan the world was in a tragic state, and would only get worse as time flowed onward. He looked upon people as weak, only wishing to use others in order to grasp status, and saw that when tough times were ahead, most feared getting their own hands dirty, he swore to himself that he'd never become that way.
As Tristan reached the age of eight, the path to his destiny had officially began, his parents hired instructors to teach Tristan multiple forms of combat, Sword fighting, Boxing and Savate respectively, all of which Tristan seemed to get the hang of quite easily. Through training, and sparring with his one true friend, Tristan honed his skills, soon getting a considerable amount of experience under his belt. Even though it had all been planned for him, Tristan did not care, as in his mind, and in his heart, this was the path that was most befitting of him.
As he came of age, he enlisted into the Britannian military, easily passing the required training exercises, as well as showing great potential as a Knightmare pilot. During this period of his life, Tristan fought in many small battles, and rose through the ranks, and became quite the well known officer. It was at this time that he was chosen to be the Knight of his best friend, Nero. To Tristan it worked for both of him, he'd actually get to protect someone he did not dislike, rather someone whom he felt earned his respect as well as friendship.
He soon began to attend Ashford Academy alongside the Prince, so that he preform his duty, as well as have a bit of fun along the way. For who knows what adventures are to be had in this world, or even if the people are different than those he was raised around.[/size][/ul]
