* As a Rodulan, Tristam is highly telepathic, though others aren't normally capable of reading his thoughts or emotions.
As a Rodulan, Tristam is highly telepathic, though others aren't normally capable of reading his thoughts or emotions. On top of this, while he slips and may occasionally catch other thoughts from those around him, he deliberately avoids actively seeking thoughts of another, for fear of causing harm. He despises violence, regularly citing that it gets a situation nowhere. Though he has spent over a decade away from the home and safety of Rodul, he still considers those around him as aliens, and often finds himself curious or confused about the confines of their culture or identity.


* Uses a process of elimination when problem solving, coming up with courses of action, or even just explaining abnormal things. Though he doesn't notice that he's doing it, Tristam's head tilts slightly in a different direction when he considers each possibility or course of action.  
Tristam enjoys working with technology, and proves to be quite happy to get his hands dirty and fix something, going so far as to call it therapeutic. With the Invicta's heavy reliance on holographic technology, he has moved most of his tinkering to within the hololabs provided. 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.  


* Is quite happy to get his hands dirty and fix something, going so far as to call it therapeutic. If this means he has to destroy something himself in order to fix it again, he'll do it - for example, he notes "minor explosive tests" on log of a USS Garuda shuttlecraft just prior to transferring to the [[USS Invicta]], which many of his co-workers claim was used as a stress-reliever. He has since moved on to working within the Invicta's holodecks.
Despite his position, Tristam seems very uninformed about changed around the ship. This may include changes within staff, equipment, or plans during missions, and sometimes result in officers having to chase up reports despite having giving him two weeks notice for them. This is a fault of his own many find quite frustrating. However, despite the delays, he's quick to catch up and provide assistance or insight when possible.

This is a fault of his own many find quite frustrating, especially in his new position as First Officer. However, despite the delays, he's quick to catch up and provide assistance or insight when possible.
He tends to be overdramatic about the smallest of things, meaning he often has a lengthy list of things he doesn't like. He is mortally afraid of spiders and dislikes having to work on propulsion systems due to prejudices from home (though he does possess the skill and know-how to do this, he may delegate these tasks to others of an Engineering staff).
 
* Is bound to his morals and beliefs. He despises violence, regularly citing that it gets a situation nowhere. Though he has spent over a decade away from the home and safety of Rodul, he still considers those around him as aliens, and often finds himself curious or confused about the confines of their culture or identity.

Aside from a slight height difference, Tristam is identical to his brother Taywor. 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 two year old).

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 two year old). His eyes are a typical Rodulan black, though he will use contacts with "regular eyes" when in large crowds of Terrans to avoid causing alarm - these are brown in colour.


After a severe knee injury (from the same accident that caused damage to his telepathic lobe), 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 - which is also presumed to be a habit.

In terms of dress sense, Tristam is very simple - normally wearing a tee-shirt and jeans. He has a favoured pair of maroon canvas shoes for when he is off duty, wearing them with just about anything (he also claims he only owns three pairs of shoes - the canvas, brown dress shoes and his work boots). His hair is what he likes to call "stylishly messy", both on and off duty. On duty, he is always wearing his Engineering cargo pants, equipped with quite a number of engineering tools.

===Hobbies and Pastimes===
* '''Fixing things'''
** Deliberately breaking equipment such as PADDs and communicators in order to fix them whilst stressed. It should be noted that these pieces of equipment are outdated, and are personal items of Tristam's (though he has deliberately broken [[Tan, Alleran|another officer's]] tricorder in order to create a crude communications device).
* '''Reading'''
** Enjoys laying on the couch and reading a good fiction novel - this is normally any sort of fiction, except for Westerns.
===Likes===
[[File:Swuitstick.jpg|90px|thumb|right|Homemade Rodulan swuit stick.]]
* '''His work'''
** Being labelled as an Operations Officer meant that the majority of it was paperwork, but Tristam still appreciates working through it and getting it done. And although he complains about the majority of his Engineering workload, he truly does enjoy it.
* '''[[Rodulan swuit stick]]s'''
** A stick with a hard lolly-like substance set around it. When he was much younger, his father made them as treats. In the summer, Gamighan would even freeze them. They were a favourite childhood treat for Tristam - and still are today.
* '''Tartare sauce'''
** Will quite willingly have tartare sauce with just about any hot meal, if not on its own.
===Dislikes===
* '''Working on warp or propulsion systems'''
** Despite being an engineer, Tristam avoids working on propulsion systems at all costs. He has stated several times to cadets that life-sustaining systems are far more important, and that speed was not a necessity . . . unless you were being chased by an angry pack of Klingons, Borg, and so forth.
* '''Working on the Bridge'''
** More specifically, working on the Bridge as an Engineering Officer. He claims that Engineers have no real purpose on the Bridge unless they're fixing consoles. Thus, he prefers working below decks.
* '''People touching his things'''
** Got stuck with a roommate at the Academy that thought stealing or hiding his stuff was funny, commonly stealing his favourite maroon canvas shoes and hiding them in the most obscure of places. Since then on, he has always been protective of his stuff, rarely lending anything out to anyone in fear that he'll never get it back.
** [[Voss, R'raika|Ensign Voss]] took the opportunity to try some of Tristam's battered flake and tartare sauce whilst he was busy taking a comcall. Once he realized said food had been touched, he vowed that someone would "pay for this".
* '''Spiders'''
** Absolutely ''hates'' spiders. He is convinced that spiders of any kind have a plan to destroy the universe one way or another. It's not explained why he hates spiders as much as he does.
** [https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/sb118-garuda/bCN97VDL9I4 An experience] with a very large spider saw Tristam come up with two ways to remove a spider nest from the Garuda - blowing the deck to smithereens, or flushing everything out the airlock.
* '''[[Naughton, Sean|Sean Naughton]]'''
** Even punched him to prove it.
