Bruno Erraunt

Appearance
Bruno is a thin guy with brown, short messy hair and a goatee. He has yellow eyes and light, pink-ish skin.

His outfit consists of a white/rust shirt, brown leggings, copper/brown striped puffy shorts and dark brown shoes. He wears light brown armor over his clothes (consisting of breastplate, shoulder pads, padded fingerless gloves, knee pads, and shin guards). He wears a brown leather hat too.

Personality
Bruno is an introspective but loud and very idealistic guy, to the point there are times he can't see the difference between fantasy and reality. Even if he doesn't look like a genius, he's an avid reader and knows a lot about fighting and weapons because of this. Has a good sense of humor and doesn't take most of things seriously (however, he always takes hunting seriously, sometimes too much). He's a hopeless romantic too but he isn't attracted to anybody in particular since he's way too centered in learning how to become a Hunter. He's a gentleman most of times but since he has an impulsive personality and loses his temper when people ignore him he ends up looking like some goofy character to people.

History
Bruno comes from a middle-class family; he got kicked out of home because he was really obsessive about reading, to the point he almost never got out of his room, and because his parents thought he would enjoy becoming a Hunter just like the characters from his favorite books/it would be healthy for him to do some physical exercise. In school he was a sociable but quirky, head-in-the-clouds kid, and always cared more about books than about people. He was offered to enter to Beacon because of his good grades and his knowledge about hunting.

Weapon
The Siena Picaresca, a Convertible Sword-Rifle Hybrid (CSRH) is Bruno's weapon. Its name comes from "siena" (sienna in Spanish), a shade of brown and "picaresca" (picaresque in Spanish), that refers to the literary genre of "Don Quixote". It's a sword that turns into a rifle with a collapsible bayonet under the muzzle. Its caliber is 5.56 x 45 mm; it can make lethal wounds but it isn't very stable. Since Bruno is more of a direct fighter, he prefers to use its sword form most of times, but when he fights many Grimm at once he prefers to use the rifle form with the collapsible bayonet extended to be able to deliver direct attacks too.

Also, Bruno has a shield called Caballeresco (chivalric one in Spanish). He carries his CSRH in its sword form in his scabbard and his shield in his back.

Abilities
In fight he's a good strategist and is skilled in direct attacks. He's one of the lightest and faster members of the team, but he's one of the physically weakest. His aura color is reddish brown and is of medium strength. He mainly uses it for healing.

Relationships

 * Ryan Chartreuse: Has neutral feelings towards him. Bruno thinks he's a good guy but that he's too shy and should "loosen up".


 * Della Azure: Is Bruno's partner and good friend. They met the first day they got in Beacon, and Della thinks he's an interesting person so she's always listening and talking to him. Both are pretty carefree and loud and make a funny couple.


 * Grizel Svane: Bruno has a complicated relationship with Grizel since she's bossy and serious and likes to work alone or just with Ryan, so she disobeys his orders sometimes. Also, Grizel can't stand when Bruno starts speaking nonsense stuff. However, Bruno doesn't hate her and likes to tease her, changing her name or acting crazier when she's present (he's conscious that Grizel hates his behavior).

Trivia

 * He was based on Don Quixote.


 * "Bruno" comes from the Germanic particle Brun, meaning "brown". "Erraunt" is an old spelling of "errant", making reference of Don Quixote being a knight-errant.


 * His emblem is a burning windmill.


 * He's kinda insomniac and tends to stay up late. However, he doesn't feel sleepy in mornings; he actually needs few hours of sleep to feel rested.


 * He has really messy hair so he wears hats most of times.
