Tanner Arthen

Tanner Arthen is a fanmade character by Sebi99cl.

Background
Tanner Arthen was born into a family living in a desert in the world of Remnant. He was born in a small town, similar to those of the Wild West in the real world. His father was a miner, and his mother usually stayed at home. The city he was born in had a distant view of a castle far away in the mountains, and Tanner always loved to hear stories about the knights from the castle, and of the hunters and huntresses that lived past that, in Vale.

At the age of 8, Tanner and his family moved to Vale. He never forgot his roots, though, and dressed up in the style of his hometown and in the style of the Medieval Ages. He was a social child, and always acted tough, making it seem like nothing could hurt him. However, he has always had a fear of snakes and scorpions, due to his desert upbringing.

After living in Vale for a few years, Tanner was accepted into Signal. To celebrate his acceptance, his father, now a business manager, helped him craft his weapon, Lionhearted Vigilante, a Repeater Rifle / Greatsword. While at Signal, Tanner made quite a few friends, always being social. He wasn't exactly a ladies' man, but he did have some dates, not all successful. He trained himself both mentally and physically, and has proved to be quite effective with his weapon.

After leaving Signal, Tanner entered Beacon Academy.

Physical Description
Tanner has short brown hair that at many times seems dirty and sandy. He has tan eyes, similar to the sands of his hometown. His training has given him a well-built figure, and his studies have helped him expand his knowledge of battle to an extent. He has no distinguishing features, other than a small birthmark on his arm that looks like a bullet hole.

Tanner wears a suit of chainmail underneath a tan fringe jacket. He has brown chaps, typical western trousers, and brown cowboy boots.

Personality
Tanner is an outgoing, social person. He behaves similar to Vigilantes of the Wild West, doing things his own way and worrying about the consequences later. However, he is always respectful of others, as long as they do the same to him. He has respect for his elders, due to his interpretations of his tales of old. He does have interests, such as the West, Medieval Artifacts, shooting, and just generally hanging out.

When it comes to fighting, Tanner can sometimes be a bit reckless. He tends to rush into battle, repeater firing or greatsword slashing. This usually leads to him getting hurt, but he generally just stands back up and keeps fighting. He doesn't have as much experience with Grimm as he wishes.

Tanner is straight. He has dated before, but his dates have never really lasted for long, mostly due to the fact that all of his dates haven't really been interested in his interests. Tanner does not mind being around girls, but sometimes, he fails at flirting. When it comes to teammates, he believes that teamwork is always the best strategy, especially when the enemies are intelligent and not Grimm.

Tanner's favorite foods are beef jerky, pheasant, and milk.
