Vanta Guérisseur

"My cure is most effective..."

- Vanta Guérisseur

Appearance
Vanta of rather average height is a rather twiggy boy. His large pointy nose much like the beak of a crow’s, somewhat covering his small thin lips they themselves often pulled into a well practiced smile. His brown eyes, the single gateway to his inner disgust with the world. The ebony black hair reaching just the top of his shoulders swept just to the left. His pale flesh gives his face the look of a mask almost.

Preferring to dress in darker colors Vanta is usually seen going around campus in a long black overcoat his light blue shirt poking up from below. His worn black jeans making not a sound, hiding how high his black boots go. His white gloved hand almost always grasping the leather doctor’s bag he carries with him everywhere.

Personality
The side that Vanta allows people to see is very concerned with how people are, and wants to make sure everyone is happy. He’s the type of person to lend money to someone he hardly knows. He prefers to keep his thoughts to himself, unless asked directly what he thinks of a situation. Inside his mind the boy detests most humanity, seeing them as unworthy of even the smallest kindness, he has found a single use for those he deems unworthy of true friendship and that is to help him further his future in someway. It doesn't have to be in big ways, a lot of the people he associates himself with he uses for free food. He fancies himself a physician, having worked under his previous school’s nurse and does all he can for those injured or sick. He takes special interest in Faunus, feeling bad for how they are treated. In his own words, ‘would treat a cripple or someone who is physically sick with any less respect?” He is rather harsh when it comes to mistakes whether it be his own or somebody else s. When someone makes one that affects him he will be blunt in making sure they know what they did wrong. His personal belief is the Faunus are humans born with a genetic disease, one that is curable and one that he is willing to cure.

History
Vanta was born to a loving set of parents in the kingdom of Vale, being the youngest of four he was bullied a lot by his older brothers and babied by his older sister. Financially speaking growing up wasn't hard by any means certainly not easy, but definitely not hard. His parents were outspoken Faunus haters; trying their best to instill the fear and hatred into their son. The young Vanta did not pick up on this, instead he believed his parents were trying to keep him from getting sick. The young boy went on a search, for a cure. It took him years to realize that the disease he thought the race had was more something that gave it’s sufferer animal like appendages and an extra Semblance. While he could do nothing about the extra Semblance there was something he could do to help them blend in easier… though the more he watched society, the more he realized his cure would not be welcomed. He would need time to learn how to cure his patients in secret. Pushing aside his aspirations for the time being he focused on a secondary goal becoming a hunter. Working hard at Signal, he ended up training under the school nurse, learning some of the skills would need to follow a medical career path. Over the years at the Academy he made few friends choosing his studies over a social life. It became common practice over the years to see the youngest Guérisseur with his nose buried in a book; it didn’t take long for people to learn that disturbing him during reading time was a terrible idea. The last year of Signal was interesting for Vantas, he met a girl not unlike himself. Someone he could show his true feelings to. They’d spend hours together every day watching people from afar and talking over ways they could use them to their advantage. Their relationship was going well until Vanta was suspected of an attack on a Faunist, his girlfriend deciding to save her reputation dumped him. It didn’t take long his name to be cleared but the damage had already been done. Devastated Vanta pushed his friends to the side, diving even further into his studies. Having cut all ties to his previous life he made his way to start his new life at Beacon Academy.

Weapon
The Bloodletter is Lever Action Halibard Riffle (LAHR) is a halibard that can transform into a Hunting Rifle. The name comes from the ancient treatment to take out the bad blood from someones body.

Appearance
The weapon has a black metal pole, leading to the ivory curved blade on one side and a smaller pointed blades on the top and side of the weapon. When transformed into a hunting rifle, the bottom of the pole slides up towards the curved blade, making the barrel with a bit more stability; the bottom of the curved blade slides forwards creating a lever and small slot for the trigger; the point at the top slides to the side creating a pull pin from which to eject expended shell cases; the tip at the top slides down slightly to create an iron site.

Ammunition
The gun fires .38 rounds, most of the ammo he carries with him are your regular ball type ammo though he does carry some hollow points for those times when the battle is just a little tougher than usual.

Abilities
Vanta is one to charge into a fight, to make sure no mistakes are made. Having low stamina, Vanta is one who would prefer to end a fight quickly and when he can’t retreats to ranged attacks.
