■ BOLD Tristan is a headstrong, fearless boy, he lacks discipline and acts impulsively. He has the drive for ambition, but it's usually misplaced in sordid adventures. It often leads to impatience and an easily distracted mind. ■ BOORISH Tristan's vocabulary is riddled with curse words and slang; he can be wildly inappropriate and grotesque and inhibits a morbid fascination for making other people squeamish or uncomfortable. He's generally ill-mannered and destructive, if given the choice to break or follow the rules, he'll always choose the former. ■ SELF-DESTRUCTIVE He has a hard time saying no to bad ideas, even if he knows he might get in trouble. Whether it was his first stolen cigarette, sneaking out of the house, or trying to eavesdrop on an all girl slumber party; he can't seem to resist on his strong nights, it's even worse on his weak nights, when he knows just how dangerous it could be. ■ PASSIONATE Diving head first, Tristan throws all of himself into any idea or project he's interested in. He's dedicated and hardworking, and he's been known to get a little too heated or intense, but it only ever lasts as long as his interest does--which isn't long. ■ LOYAL Steadfast and determined, Tristan will stand by his friends and loved ones until the very end. If they've earned his loyalty, he'll suffer right alongside his mates and do everything in his power to help. He's defensive and protective, always ready to take up arms if necessary. ■ RESOURCEFUL Tristan can adapt to his surroundings, if he can't find a way, he'll force one. He can separate himself from his problem, tackle it from different angles to find the best solution. He's crafty, and can create makeshift tools or toys with what's provided. He's willing to play a few hands at once, bet on different people to try and maximize his chances.

CHILDHOOD Born to Clayton Hastings, a Gryffindor Herbologist specializing in the cultivation of wand woods for wandmakers, and Sierra Hastings, a Hufflepuff radio host on the Wizarding Wireless Network, Tristan was born and raised in the Puckham Woods of Cheltenham, bordering the edge of the Cotswold Hills. He lived an ordinary life; he learned to walk, to talk, to read and write like any other growing boy. His baby sister, Savannah, was born when he was only a year old. He hardly remembers a life without her, but on the other hand, she's still rather unmemorable. During all of their camping trips, vacations, or family "game nights", she always sort of dwindled in to the background, or stayed hidden behind closed doors. Tristan didn't mind, it left more opportunities for him and his father to spend countless hours hiking through the woods, identifying wildlife, and waiting for nightfall to track the stars and constellations on their charts. His mother would read to him every night; she nurtured his thirst for learning by reading poetry and classics, including Poe, Shakespeare, Wilde, Hemingway, and Steinbeck. And when neither his mother, father, or sister had time for him, he'd venture with the Lost Boys of the village and entertained themselves with childhood games and adventures. But soon, everything was going to change.
Shortly before Tristan's eighth birthday, he and his family went on a camping trip to Kielder Forest. A meteor shower was set to pass beneath a full moon, Tristan was as excited as his father. While his father was roasting sausage on the fire, Tristan had wandered deep into the forest. Before long, he could hear his father hollering through the trees, but the echo had disoriented his sense of direction and panicking, he began to run. What happened next is still only a blur to him, but there was a rustle of wind through leaves and twigs snapping, a black, formless blur, then blood and pain and tears and then, nothing.
The next morning, Tristan awoke to bed sheets and blankets piled high on his tremoring body and drenched in a hot sweat. The fever didn't last past the day, but his skin was waxy and pale and every muscle felt sore. His father had a horrible suspicion that that creature, that wolf, was far from ordinary. But with no way to confirm this theory without giving away too many details to the family, Clayton kept the details of that night a secret, even to his wife. Next month, Clayton noticed the ailing signs, the restlessness and irritability. Maybe it was because he didn't want to believe, or maybe because he refused. He kept the information to himself and insisted on taking Tristan for another camping trip on the weekend of the full moon. Without a supply of wolfsbane potion, Tristan quickly lost control. Clayton's attempts at restraining the wolf were in vain, and he very nearly almost fell victim himself, if he hadn't apparated away just in time. The next morning, Tristan was found in the putrid stench of blood, guts, and vomit; his human stomach refused to digest what the wolf had eaten.
The second, the third, and the fourth moon had all transpired similarly, and with no secure source to buy the potion, Tristan's father had been forced to attempt the brew at home. After several failed batches, it wasn't until Tristan's fifth moon that the boy was finally able to imbibe the potion. By then, his father had already set up a system to help ease the transformations, tying raw meat to lure the wolf away from civilization and farther into the woodlands. But the wolf in him had caught on quickly, and didn't appreciate being baited into docility. Nearly a year later, Tristan was almost caught. One of the neighbors around Cheltenham had discovered his raw, unconscious form on the forest floor. The family was forced to pick up and move that same week.
Tristan could see his father was disappointed in him, and every time his mother wrapped him up in her arms, he couldn't help but sense that she was afraid of him. His parents argued for weeks at a time, growing distant for a while and then right back to arguing daily. The family had moved to Burley, a quaint little village near New Forest in Hampshire. There, Tristan had a much better chance of being kept hidden from the world. His father fears the day that his son is discovered, and fears what the ministry might do with the information, especially during these dark times. Because of this, Tristan has been isolated from the rest of the world until his school letter arrives. His father hopes to have the boy better under control by then, but it's doubtful. Tristan's main goal in life is to earn his freedom, whether it means destroying the part of him that's a monster, or turning the rest of the world into a monster with him.
SCHOOL YEARS
FIRST YEAR Tristan met his fellow Slytherin's: Lori, Gia, Carver, and Sera; and became friends with several Ravecnlaws, Sybil, and Sophie. He struggled at potions, but excelled in flying. He joined the qudditch team and earned the position of first string beater. Embarking on the train to depart Hogwarts, however, there was an attack; he missed the train and managed to band together with Lori, Gia, and Carver and holed up in the Magic Neep until it was safe. SECOND YEAR Boring in comparison, Tristan practiced his potions with Sybil and hunted down new secret passageways with Lori. And asides from getting caught roaming in the Forbidden Forest and winning the house and quidditch cup, it was a slow year. THIRD YEAR Other than the Valentine's Masquerade Ball, the year went by uneventfully. He kept to himself during the week leading up to full moon's, kept his head down, and worked out any issues he had on the field with a beaters bat in hand. They won the quidditch and house cup again. FOURTH YEAR Things got a bit awkward; Sybil had been avoiding him and his confrontation with her didn't seem to help. Lori seemed to be getting closer to Zeph. He discovered a new wolf in the school, his teammate, Devonte. Hufflepuff won the quidditch and house cup. And if it wasn't bad enough, he was starting to look forward to the one night each month where he can let loose and just run free. FIFTH YEAR For every time he tried to seek out Sybil, he also tried to avoid her. He tried not to think about it. Instead, he focused on his vice-captainship in quidditch and for his upcoming OWLs. He hung out with Lori when she wasn't with Zeph. While in the dueling club, he met and befriended Zeph's little sister, Michelynn--she's pretty cute, too.The rest of the year was dull up until summer; he got his scores, with its two failing grades, and was punished accordingly. It relaxed with Lori around though, she stayed with him for several weeks trying to avoid her family. (Oh, and they totally got drunk and had a heart-to-heart; Tristan blabbed his feelings for her, but also pointed out how Lori was infatuated with Zeph, instead.) SIXTH YEAR Either Sybil was avoiding him, or she dropped out of school. Tristan wasn't sure, but it hurt too much to ask around and see. Zeph and Lori started dating at the start of the year, unofficially; it's a secret for now. He's started snogging a few girls around school, Lacy the Ravenclaw, and Lucy, the Slytherin (NPC's.) Other than being captain of the quidditch team, not much else had changed. Slytherin won the Quidditch and House cup. He received his seventeenth birthday gift in the mail; his da's watch. Then on the train ride home, Savannah exploded. They fought until she snapped and said something she shouldn't have. He tried to ignore it, to forget. But as soon as he saw their father, he unraveled. Apparating away, he was in such emotional distress he forgot to take his potion until the last minute, realized there was none left, and was forced to change without. In his wolf form, he mauled a young boy. The next day, he woke up in a panic and stayed hidden for weeks struggling to come to terms with what he'd done. SEVENTH YEAR Tristan avoided everyone and everything. He isolated himself from friends and family and skipped every single one of his classes. He played a single game of quidditch, then quit the team. Slytherin lost miserably. But he did have a secret meeting with Lori at Hogsmeade to talk about the previous summer, to try and sort it all out and make sense of it. She advised him to make an anonymous call to the local authorities, to start the healing process. It it helped, a little. Somehow, after winter vacation, Lynn had hunted him down, cornered him, and demanded an explanation. So he broke down and told her everything; she was harsh, blunt, and to the point, but most of all, she was right. After bombing his tests, he decided to repeat his seventh year hoping for better luck. (REPEATED) SEVENTH YEAR Embarrassing as it was to be held back, he was thankful for it. He hit the books, sometimes literally, and studied hard for his NEWTs. Otherwise spending time at the Dueling Club and with Lynn.
POST GRADUATION Living at home again, Tristan sent in a proper application to move from part-time worker at Hogsmeade Ollivanders branch to full-time.
