Origin

Tristán grew up in the underbelly of Neo-Thracia, a port city toeing the line between utopia and dystopia, new and old, progress and decline. Orphaned at a young age, he found solace in underground communities and racing circuits where he met Uri. The two quickly became inseparable and eventually lovers, pushing each other to be the best and finding comfort and companionship in one another. But a brutal street race ended with Uri’s instant death. Tristán was dragged back from death by an emergency intervention, a decision he loathes to this day.

Residence

A small dingy apartment above a mechanic’s shop in Neo-Thracia’s industrial district. The apartment is sparse, with only the essentials. He prefers to spend his time in the garage he rents from the mechanic shop where he keeps Ghost along with other salvaged tech and mechanicals he uses to tinker with his bike.

Connections

Uri (deceased): Former partner in racing and in life. Their memory haunts Tristán and he feels an immense sense of guilt over the accident. Helios Automotives: The corporation whose faulty tech caused the accident, though Tristán can’t prove it. Helios generously donated the cybernetics that are keeping Tristán alive. MechDoc Adar: The surgeon who performed his cybernetic reconstruction. Adar keeps tabs on him, knowing his tech requires regular maintenance that Tristán often ignores

Goal

Make it through another day? Find a way to make peace with Uri’s death—or seek retribution against those responsible.

Secret: Wishes he had died in the crash with Uri.
