'''Capricorn''', PHO username '''Cap''', real names '''Tristan''' and '''Byron''', are a [[Case 70]], a power expression phenomenon where two people share a body after trigger.
 
They were members of [[Team Reach]] pre-[[Gold Morning]].
 
==Personality==
Tristan and Byron were twins of Hispanic origin. <ref>'''3A::u@T_Enki''': can we maybe not talk about commemorative plates? maybe action figures? plates make me think of my abuela - [[Glow-worm P.2]]</ref> Their family is Christian and they continue to attend Church with them.<ref>Cap: shoot. would love to chat but am being asked to go to church.<br>Heart_Shaped_Pupil: at noon?<br>Cap: family is asking. church gets overcrowded these days so we attend during certain blocks of time. - [[Glow-worm P.7]]</ref>
 
Tristan and Byron take two-hour shifts in controlling the body, while the other twin is conscious within. Tristan has a proclaimed interest in becoming a super-hero again for the money. Byron opposes the super-heroing.
 
===Relationships===
[[Moonsong]] of Team Reach liked Byron, but not Tristan. Tristan considered her judgmental. Tristan was close with [[Furcate]] of Team Reach before leaving.
 
They live with family in [[The City]]
 
They know [[Weld]] well enough to defend him on [[PHO]].<ref name="P.8">[[Glow-worm P.8]]</ref> They were long term fans of his.
 
==Appearance==
===Civilian===
Tristan tended to dress well with some changes to distinguish himself from Byron. Such as painting his long dark hair magenta.<ref>Beside him was a guy, brown-skinned, with the sides and back of his hair cut short.  The hair on top had to have been painted rather than dyed, because it was magenta, and I couldn’t imagine getting black hair dyed magenta without bleaching it to the point of destroying it, and the rolling curls retained their shape despite the droplets of rain that clung to it.  He was smiling, but more because he looked like the type that very much enjoyed others being happy.  The magenta-haired guy’s shirt was form-fitting to his upper body, showing off lean muscle, and looked like a surfer’s rash guard.  He wore black shorts and sandals. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/12/23/flare-2-5/ Excerpt] from [[Flare 2.5]]</ref>
 
Byron differs from his twin by wearing his short dark hair slicked back, with accompanying dark clothing. He lacks the air of bravado that Tristan exudes.<ref name="II2.7 e3">I glanced back into the room, to see if Mrs. Yamada had anything she wanted to convey with a look or gesture.  Instead, I saw her talking to someone who wasn’t Tristan.<br><br>Byron had black hair, shorter than Tristan’s, slicked back with something that shone in the room’s lights.  He wore a jacket, a black v-neck shirt, and jeans.  The contrast between him and Tristan in everything but facial features were striking- Tristan had been bright haired, his top and shorts all about contrasts with light and dark, color and lack thereof.  He’d brimmed with confidence.<br><br>Byron didn’t.  He looked distinctly uncomfortable, his hands in his jacket pockets, shoulders forward, a look of concern on his face.  The muted gray-blue of his jacket, the black v-neck shirt, the jeans, there weren’t any of the intentional contrasts I’d seen in Tristan. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/12/30/flare-2-7/ Excerpt] from [[Flare 2.7]]</ref>
===Cape===
Armoured costume that is a little heavier then normal thanks to the their increased strength. Tristan has an orange goat theme while Byron would wear a blue ichthyology themmed one with fins and similar.<!--Costume and distinguishing features go here. Worm descriptions tend to be sparse, so include as much as possible.

==Abilities and Powers==
Capricorn has the ability of matter creation. Tristan makes rock, Byron makes water.<ref>[[Glare 3.2]]</ref> The rock can be used to create tools or something as big as a wall. These are never wholly what they want to be however.
 
They are able to create enough material for things like a fort.<ref>[[Glare 3.3]]</ref> And can shape the material around single objects. It is unknown if it can be safely carried out on living objects. What they can do is for Byron to spray people with water and then switch to Tristan to turn the water into rock and encase the subject.<ref name="II3.2 e11">“Yeah,” Tristan said.  He looked away.  “I can keep my shapes ‘alive’.  If they’re still alive when I change, they become water.  If they aren’t, they’re there to stay.  Same for Byron’s water.  It’s effective if he makes water, sloshes it over someone, and then changes, to make it solid.  We’ve tagged a good dozen villains that way.”<br><br>“A dozen is a really good number for a teenage hero.”<br><br>“Yeah,” Tristan said.<br><br>“You’re pretty lucky, getting a name that fitting for a power like that.”<br><br>“Constellations forming rock and water?” Tristan asked.  He snorted air through his nostrils.  “Want to know the hilarious thing?”<br><br>“I do,” I said.  I wasn’t sure whatever he was going to say was ‘hilarious’, given his tone, but I’d ''hoped'' today would be a lighter endeavor, and any humor would help.<br><br>“We weren’t even rock and water, originally.  Reach bought the name from the last Capricorn.  She got wounded in battle and she retired.  Win-win.  We got settled into the role, got our name, our armor, our brand, and… power changed to match.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/09/glare-3-2/ Excerpt] from [[Glare 3.2]]</ref>
 
Interestingly, Tristan claims that their power took on its present form after they had fully assumed their [[cape]] identity from the previous holder.<ref name="II3.2 e11"/>

==History==
===Background===
Had an extremely [[Case 70|rare]] trigger event.
 
They were recruited into [[Team Reach]] well before Gold Morning. The team set them up with the Capricorn identity after they came on board. At some point he left the team. Several new members have been recruited since then.
 
Claimed that he was inn the running to lead Reach.<ref name="II3.3 e3">He made a small amused sound, his face obscured by his helmet, his hands busy adjusting the fit of his armor as he paced.  “There was a time I thought I might end up being in charge of Reach.  Things fell through before then.  I don’t know if my current mindset works for it, but let’s give this a try.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/13/glare-3-3/ Excerpt] from [[Glare 3.3]]</ref>
 
===[[Gold Morning]]===
Capricorn was "dragged into" the event.
 
=== [[Glow-worm]] ===
Talked to Team Reach on the newly-revived [[Parahumans Online]]. Hired an assassin online for an unknown purpose.<ref>[[Glow-worm P.1]]</ref> Participated in a group chat on PHO with several users he knew offline regarding an unspecified "project".<ref>[[Glow-worm P.3]]</ref>
 
== Trivia ==
* Capricorn literally "goat-horned", is the tenth sign in the Western Zodiac.  Also called the sea-goat which the Twins divide up between them with their fish and Goat motifs.
* Tristan and Byron are at least the second Hero named Capricorn, the one before them were a women who was injured.<ref name="II3.2 e11"/>
