==Personality== | |||
Tristam has proven to be a whimsical genius of his field. He is highly dramatic about the smallest things, as what a ‘regular’ humanoid may consider an ''over''-reaction is Tristam’s standard reaction. He is quick on his feet and far from single-minded, often whizzing around main engineering thinking about a dozen things otherwise unrelated to his task. He often cannot properly explain certain concepts to others in one attempt, requiring multiple attempts to become understandable, and often uses metaphors and colloquialisms to get his point across. Tristam enjoys working with technology, and is happy to get his hands dirty and fix something, calling it therapeutic. Often he will use a process of elimination when problem solving, coming up with courses of action or when attempting to explain abnormal things - his head will tilt slightly in a different direction when he considers a different possibility. Some note on many occasions that Tristam thinks more than he speaks, sometimes to a fault. | Tristam has proven to be a whimsical genius of his field.

Tristam leans towards Rodulan spirituality through a Krzexxi interpretation of modern Artistry (also known as ''Dikkenism'' by older Rodulan generations). He uses language derivative of this to the confusion of others, but he is more than happy to explain what he means. | Tristam leans towards Rodulan spirituality through a Krzexxi interpretation of modern Artistry (also known as ''Dikkenism'' by older Rodulan generations).

===Appearance | ===Personal spaces=== | ||
As an engineer, Tristam spends significant time in Operations. However, when not at red alert or required for other reasons, Tristam takes up a small engineering lab to run tests on potential communications upgrades or for the MST project. | |||
Off-duty, Tristam may be attending functions, fiddling with technological gadgets and gizmos, or catching up on sleep. Since moving in with [[Roshanara Rahman]], his messy tendencies have subsided significantly, though pieces to a three-dimensional chessboard can still be found scattered on a coffee table. | |||

Tristam often appears as a slightly dishevelled, his standing at 5'8 feet, with brown hair and trademark rings of tiredness under his eyes due to not getting enough sleep. the Rodulan often sports a scruffy beard, rarely completely shaved (claiming he'd rather not look like a five-year-old). His eyes are a typical Rodulan black - which often cause alarm among anyone whom have never seen a Rodulan before. He's often required to deal with the shock of fellow crewmates or otherwise, and usually resorts to laughing their reaction off. | Tristam often appears as a slightly dishevelled, his standing at 5'8 feet, with brown hair and trademark rings of tiredness under his eyes due to not getting enough sleep. the Rodulan often sports a scruffy beard, rarely completely shaved (claiming he'd rather not look like a five-year-old).

After a severe knee injury, when Tristam stands for long periods of time, he rests most of his weight onto his right leg out of habit. He will also cross his arms when listening to instructions or important information. When his hands and feet are busy, engineering tools may be held between his teeth whilst Tristam works - much to the distaste of engineering tool owners. | After a severe knee injury, when Tristam stands for long periods of time, he rests most of his weight onto his right leg out of habit.
