I redesigned my Marvel oc!!!
In his past design I aimed for a more marvel rivals aesthetic but now I aimed to design an actual character for the mcu. I’m really happy that I redesigned him because just something about his entire design makes me cringe now and makes me want to rip it up. I think I’ve definitely improved. Maybe with his redesigned version I can design some marvel rivals skins that I’d think he’d have.
Anyway here’s his close ups and doodles
Sorry if you can’t read the little notes, I only write in cursive irl.
Now time for his lore that I freshly wrote out!
Ethnicity: half African American, half white and Latino
Height: 5’9-6’3 (in armor)
Appearance: short, dark brown 3b curly hair, with a faded undercut, usually worn in a minor side part, bleached bangs and eyebrows. Tawny terracotta brown skin, dark almost empty eyes, lean semi muscular body figure, always seen in all white outfits with hints of silver unless told to wear otherwise.
Likes: anything tech related, legos, orchestral/ electronic music, biology
Dislikes: change, the smell of bread or chocolate, loud noises, messes/disorder
Family: Tony stark (father) Morgan stark (half younger sister)Pepper pots (step mother) Malika kipaji (biological mother)
Powers: none, He’s just brilliant like his parents.
His armor: Tristan’s first armor, called the endosym armor, Mark 1, it’s very similar to Tony’s later superior iron man suit but different in the way it was made. Tristan made the endosym armor by taking a sample of venom, and altering its genetic material on a cellular level by removing all dna strands that allow the symbiote to critically think, or be hostile. He then replaced the symbiotes consciousness with his own ai model which he named Pete 01 (after Spider-Man) after that, he replicated one of Tony’s regular armors, only changing its overall design, before allowing the symbiote to merge with it. Creating his version of the endosym armor.
Personality and backstory:
Tristan is the first accidental son of Tony stark, who was conceived after a one night stand Tony had with his mother, Malika kipaji, a wealthy woman secretly immigrated from wakanda, who was a shareholder of stark industries and the owner of a large electronics brand. Due to this he’s always lived in two households, often switching between the two on a scheduled basis. His mother was always nurturing towards him, very giving and supportive in his curiosity and tech exploration, though Tony was often more so overprotective and stricter on Tristan, often trying to keep him out of heroic matters and raise him to be the next owner of stark industries. Now has graduated early at 14, and works as Tony’s managing director of stark industries, living a ridged structured quiet lifestyle He is considered brilliant and highly knowledgeable for his age with very black and white thinking and often takes things very literally. He has a habit of blind obedience towards those he trusts, to the point of robotic precision. He is very perceptive but lacks in social cues and can't express emotions well at all and ends up very stoic. He heavily values routine and schedule to the point he ends up heavily agitating when things don’t go to plan. He may seem like he’s too focused to care about anything, but behind his unfeeling eyes is a boy who’s much more emotional than he lets on.
Fun facts: Tony often calls Tristan tin, because he was born on February 19th the 50th day of the year, (50 is the atomic number for tin)
Tristan and Peter Parker met when Peter got brought to stark tower to discuss heroic matters and saw Tristan lingering in Tony’s lab. Now they are dating and very devoted to each other.
Tristan’s suit ai (Pete 01) uses a specialized voice bank that uses audio recordings of Peter’s voice so it sounds just like him whenever the ai communicates.
Tristan joined the avengers a little after Peter did, against Tony’s judgment. He only made it on the team because fury convinced Tony.
If Tristan were in the mcu, his first appearance would be in avengers civil war, in which he wouldn’t do much but you’d see a few interactions between him and Tony. He wouldn’t be a main character until infinity war and endgame.
Tristan later builds a custom iron spider suit for peter with an ai similar to his Pete 01 ai except now Tin 01 and it uses a similar voicebank but with his own vocal recordings.
Anyway, tell me what you guys think of his redesign, I personally really like it.
