Background

Tristan Grey born in Louisville, Kentucky in the summer of 1967 to parents who ensured their children lived well his father Daiko, a lawman, and his mother Vivian. Tristan grew up with two younger siblings Buffy and Brett who were twins that loved to play pranks on him every chance they got much to his chagrin, but even with their tricks Tristan was very protective of his siblings and spent a lot of his time watching out for them and sometimes a few visits at the precinct to pick up his lets say ‘rambunctious’ siblings much to their father’s lack of amusement, this caused him to grow up rather quickly to prevent his younger siblings from actually spending a substantial amount of time in the cells or any at all. Their father Daiko an officer taught his children some basic self-defense such as how to shoot a gun knowing if something ever happens they can protect themselves should they encounter a dangerous situation, he always try to impart some of his knowledge from being a policeman to his kids so that they at least know to separate the bad from the good, but even their father knows that not everything is black and white. From a very young age Tristan had taken an interest in cars and was easily fascinated by them, this set the path for him to learn about mechanical engineering as he grew older. With his future picked, Tristan decided to put his head down and studied like an animal to achieve his dreams, all the while his parents quietly supporting him and also worrying about how much of his young life is just passing him by. Eventually Tristan was accepted to a university on a full scholarship, and just like before he devoured the knowledge provided for him by the professors and textbooks, again while everything happening around him passed by. After four years he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree and his first job in a research and development sector for a well-known car manufacturer luckily there was a position at his hometown of Louisville that would enable him to live close by to his family instead of moving to Detroit. Tristan loved his job and enjoyed every minute of it, learning from those who came before him and the knowledge they accumulated, then getting to try and make his own take on a car he would drive, of course he might not see it get made but having the resources to showcase what he can do was enough for him. He used his vacation days to occasionally take trips around the east coast, driving around seeing the sights and meeting new people. Well try to at least, a chance that he missed during his university days. Around early March in 1993 he was spending some time at home having his father help him on a project car they've been working on since he finished high school. But once the news started to come in fast about rifts starting to open all around the country, and the chaos and confusion was all around to be seen first hand, the only thing on his mind now was to help his family right away and keep everyone together. But timing never works as you want it to as his mother and the twins were currently out when it happened, the father and son tried to look for the rest of their family during the massive pandemonium of bodies running around like headless chickens after the opening of the rifts but to no avail, then after hearing of the broadcasts about the Mega Cavern Mall and the safe zone that was established Tristan and his father packed whatever they can from food supplies, clothing to some mementos, then they tried making their way there all along the way keeping an eye out for his mother and siblings hoping their family can reunite in these uncertain times.
