I know my partner has talked about him before, but this is Tristan. 14 years old, he's essentially a male version of Clementine. The only difference being his innate tendency towards selflessness. As I've written him, he lost his dad before ZA happened. Since then his Mom and Brother have had to look after him. He has a little sister too. His older brother taught him how to shoot a gun among other things. Since he and his family was out on the road most of the time, he never learned to use Walker Guts to sneak through herds, a least until Clementine showed up. He Did however learn the Knee-Breaking move while out hunting with his brother. It is the last thing his brother was able to teach him before the brother died.
What I think is Tristan's greatest flaw is that sometimes he can be too selfless for his own good. He went behind his family's back to help save people's lives and indirectly caused his brother's death, forcing Tristan to brain him (Vaguely similar to what happened with Clem and Lee).
Tristan Generally uses a Crossbow for Walker encounters as well as a Machete. He rarely uses gunpowder based weapons since he prefers to stay quiet during those situations.
He wears a Blue Jean Jacket and Black Tactical Pants.

Very Well. A year before Tristan would first appear, he was captured and held captive by a group that was operating out of the slaughterhouse. He was tortured and beaten for trying to go against his captors. But for some unknown reason, their leader spared the boy's life. The day after he arrived, his family found him and rescued him. A week after being rescued, Tristan's captors tracked him down and mortally wounded his brother.
So back when we had only gotten the E3 teaser for A New Frontier fairly recently and I had been a member of this community for only three months, my fresh first experience with Season 2 left me feeling so many type of ways. A thread like this one was circulation at the time and just for the fun of it, I decided to contribute to it being coming up a character that provided and fulfilled a number of functions I thought would've been interesting for Clementine's Story.
Enter Huckleberry, an incredible nimble Boer boy who's warped perception of things causes him to become unhealthily fixed on other survivors, regardless of their vaguest connection to/with him. After being robbed of his family by a Lemony Snicket story, he was driven to a desire to make a new stronger one, which partially led to him becoming an emissary for a strange group of refugees. Of course, he and his new[est] family would encounter Clementine on a scavenging run in the middle of a flea market and taking interest in her skills, try to initiate her...
As for how he looked, he possessed unusual dark skin, had pale blonde hair in a top knot ponytail, had eyes of teal/cyan, and was clad in a yellow shirt, an orange jacket and/or undershirt, and wore Khaki pants.
I don't think it takes much to figure out what his purposes were in terms of characterization.
Let's get dark!
So here we have Tony. Before the apocalypse he was employed in Christian children's and youth ministry. He lived his life always attempting to be a blessing to those around him and to do the right thing. At some point he got married and had a son.
One day the apocalypse started and he managed to get his family to a rural setting. He lived out there with his family for a while doing his best to help anyone he could. His wife died about 4 months in, he couldn't bring himself to shoot her. However, he did not let this get him down. He still had a son to care for and he wanted to be strong for him. Over the next few years he toned down on his generosity as he gradually became accustomed to the way people behaved in the apocalypse. He still held on to his values, however and wouldn't turn away someone who was clearly in need of help. He eventually joined a group and was in charge of camp morale. At this stage his son was nearing 4 and was also helpful with camp morale from time to time. Every week he would host a sermon attempting to spread hope amongst the community.
Some time later another individual joined the group. His views and values strongly opposed Tony's. It came to a point where the individual would attend the sermons and try to spread hate about Tony during them. Tony tried to be the better person, not letting the individuals words get to him and continuing to preach about hope for the future and other positive things. The individual eventually got fed up with the group always turning to Tony for help with their crises and kidnapped Tony's son. Tony saw red, took an iron bar and went to the individual's house. The individual stood there with a weird smile as Tony came towards him to beat him to death in the half lit room. Tony's son had been tied behind the individual and had died during the attack. Tony attempted to break the iron bar over his knee and ended up breaking his knee then passing out from pain and blood loss.
When he awoke he found himself unable to walk and surrounded by trees. The community had decided to leave him for dead far away as they didn't know about the attempted kidnapping. He made a crutch and a cast for himself while crawling around the forest floor. He was unable to find straight sticks so his leg set at an angle meaning he walks with a limp. He spent months in a state of deep depression. He cut himself and began killing strangers for fun to unleash his oceans of anger. His hair became grey and he let it grow so he has a long beard and long hair. He wears no sleeved clothes to show his scars, which are up to his shoulders. Despite all this he still selflessly helps children, albeit with a hint of jealousy, as they are still alive.
I hope you enjoyed this overlong description!
