Tristan Aziz

Tristan Aziz is a character role-played by JayW_RP. He is an attorney focusing on defense work and contract-writing within the Department of Justice.

General Description
Tristan is a relatively small man, standing at only 5'4" tall. He's a 26 year-old man who grew up in [REDACTED] and will never go back to that city. He loves slowly but deeply; once you're someone that Tristan considers a dear friend, family, or someone with the potential to be more, he will destroy anything and anyone, even himself, in order to protect you.

Personality
Unlike a lot of people he's come across in Los Santos, Tristan is a fan of being still and quiet for long periods of time. He doesn't need to move constantly or else perish — he's not a shark or anything. His frequent silences to think or simply observe have been known to put others on edge, but for the life of him, Tristan can't figure out what's so off-putting about it. Whatever it is, it's all appearance. Once Tristan cares about you, he'd do anything for you, even if he doesn't talk about it. Internally, secretly, and silently, he's so much softer than he necessarily appears. Over time, he has become more sociable, though still willing to contemplate silently as opposed to constantly speak.

Background
Tristan doesn't talk in-depth about his life before moving to Los Santos. Before moving to Los Santos, he'll tell most people that he came from nowhere more specific than "the Northeast." There's no reason for him to be more specific, since in his opinion, whatever happened in his life up to his relocation to the island of San Andreas is irrelevant and ought to stay out of sight and mind. There are traces that show up in his personality, actions, and sometimes word choices of something having been not-quite-right in his past, but when pressed on it, he immediately steers the conversation away from the topic. It doesn't matter, after all. It's the past for a reason.

That being said, he graduated high school at 16 years old thanks to the unrelenting pressure from his dear sweet parents. He studied history during his undergraduate years of university and later attended law school. His education as a whole, however, is yet another thing that he sees no reason to talk about. It happened, he succeeded, and now he's somewhere else and far past it all.
