Powers:

Gender switching:

Tristan has the power to switch from being male, to being 100% female. This is his main power and his female form is called Tsubasa. It takes him half a post to fully switch and it makes him extremely vulnerable to attacks. The minimum time that the gender can stay the same is 2 weeks (real time), the longest or maximum at any one time is a year (real time). But if Tristan stays in one gender for too long, he cannot change back. E.g. New Year's Eve he becomes a girl, on the following New Year's Eve he would have to change back into a male before the night was up or he would never be able to change back again. Or that is the theory any how.

Flight:

Tristan also has the power of flight, wings sprout from his back so he can do this. He can fly for approximately 3 posts before having to land. If he has a passenger he can fly for only a short period of time, around 2 posts and it depends on the person's weight. The feathered wings have to come through skin though, so it injures him in the process and it leaves him feeling drained afterwards. He can only fly twice per thread (1 thread = 2 flight chances) after flying once he has to wait 4 posts of his own before trying to fly again, if he starts flying for a second time he can fly for 1 post and no more than that. Tsubasa also has this power.

Tsubasa's specialty:

Tsubasa has the power to turn into any breed of tiger, but her favourite is the Bengal. When she uses this power is takes her approx. a quarter of a post to go from human to tiger. As a tiger she has green eyes and is noticeable because she has stripes that look a little more yellow than orange in a certain light. This is her other power and it usually lasts for a few posts. She can focus on a part of her body e.g. her fingernails and although they might not turn into claws they might give someone scratches like claws would. Or if she bit a person while thinking that her teeth are like that of a tiger... (I wasn't sure how to phrase it in a way that people could understand.)

Personality:

Tristan is a very strange young man, often preferring isolation rather than join a crowd. He is extremely loyal to his older sisters, Umiko and Siena and has a deep respect for women. Girls stop and stare if he passes them but he just keeps going, often having a more pressing engagement to attend to. He is courteous to everyone but he always has an escape plan if anything turns ugly.

While with his sisters he is quite talkative and happy, but without them he is quiet and spends most of his time indoors reading books. To be honest, he isn't actually reading the books for his own enjoyment...but Tsubasa's. If he ever feels a little down, Tsubasa always cheers him right back up again. After all, no one knows you better than yourself right?

He always manages to lend a helping hand to those who need it, if a person has been mugged he beats up the mugger and sends the belongings back to the rightful owner. You get the picture right? Kind but quiet bookworm when alone, talkative and bright when with his sisters.

Tsubasa's personality:

She is a very social and confident person, she loves her sisters dearly and there will be hell to pay if someone even mentions a plan to hurt them. She is very loyal and is protective of her work friends, often hiding the humans when Serpentes come a calling. She loves to shock people, often giving more than one old man heart palpitations with just one smile and the right look.

She is very smart and calculates everything before even speaking. She is very manipulative and changes her tone of voice to suit any given altercation. Her mask of control rarely ever slips unless someone really gets under her skin. Tsubasa hates to be underestimated or attacked for no reason. She is a dancer, very temperamental and often a little cold at first.

Sometimes she saves a random kitten from drowning or lends someone her bed for the night, little things that go unnoticed by the general public. Even if she is loyal, when you betray her the loyalty and friendship end there. She would sell you out to the Serpente rather than save you if you have deceived her or betrayed her. She is unforgiving on that part, her philosophy is: 'Once a murderer, always a murderer. Once a thief, you might be saved.'

History:

Tristan was the youngest child of Ruko and Marcus Kuroda and was babied by his two older sisters till he was twelve. At that time he learned about girls other than his sisters. Her name was Silvia and she was meant to be his future girlfriend. Unfortunately it wasn't to be and another young man took her out from under Tristan's nose. This was about the time that Tsubasa awakened within Tristan's mind enough to enable him to become a girl. (Gee that sounded weird....)

Before he knew what was happening, Tristan suddenly wished he could show Silvia up. After a few agonising minutes, he became a she and Tsubasa stood up in the dress shirt and pants that were too long for her small frame. She borrowed one of Siena's dresses and went down to the party. Her long hair flowing down her back in gentle waves until it reached just under her shoulder blades. The music kept going but all conversation in the room ceased as people spotted her.

Tsubasa stole Silvia's sweetheart, an apt punishment for betrayal wouldn't you say? She then left the boy with a broken heart after she severed all ties and moved to Verada with her older sisters. She got a job at the nightclub Oxygen, as a dancer/waitress. Although Tristan doesn't like her methods of operation, if it keeps his sisters safe...he turns a blind eye. He knows that Tsubasa keeps her phobias of their stepmother Claire well hidden, she helped get him through the occasional nights with an empty belly or when he was kept in the attic. She was originally an alternate personality that formed within him during this time, this personality thought about things from a different point of view to that of Tristan. Once his powers started kicking in, the alternate personality became a girl. The attic was horrifying in storms, winds whipped through the gaps in the timbers and the rain and sounds of the thunder and lightening scarred both of them irreparably. Luckily no one knows about this fear other than family, otherwise they might exploit it...but would Tsubasa let that happen to Tristan? Not if her life depended on it.

Tristan and Tsubasa

According to the power description, Tristan is simply going from a male body to a female body. At the same time, though, you are saying his personality also changes during the switch. To me... it doesn't make too much sense. Yes, a guy's brain and a girl's brain are different, so naturally, they'll think different things; and yes, the attraction to males/females will also be different; that's about it, though. Tristan and Tsubasa, being the same person, have had the same experiences, have all the same memories, and know the same people; why would their personality change? This can be resolved in two ways: either make Tsubasa and alternate personality that awakens in the girl form, or make it so their personalities are the same. With that out of the way...

Powers and Weaknesses:

You have a habit of putting too many weaknesses. I think it's unnecessary to add the fact he's vulnerable to attacks during a change... mostly because I'd imagine him shifting in a dark room or in a hidden place. Besides... the minimum time's a month (I personally think you can get away with 2 weeks), so why would he change genders in the middle of a fight when there's no difference in powers between the two genders?

As for the flight power, I think the pain and unconsciousness part is unnecessary as well; the post limit will suffice. Also, after landing, when will he/she be able to use it again (with the full 2 or 3 posts)? If they can do it consecutive times, how long can they stay up after a second or third consecutive time?

History:

Um... Claire? Care to fill me in?

Edited and revised.
;D

As for the Claire thing, Claire was their stepmother. see Siena's profile for more info I guess. But she was all in all a very nasty lady.

Things look in order now. For the time being, since Mu-n and Sol haven't logged in for a bit, I'll be doing one-mod approvals. With that...
