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, strong-willed and very idealistic guy, to the point there are times he can't see the difference between fantasy and reality (in fact, his sanity has been questioned several times). Even if he doesn't look like a genius, he's an avid reader (specially of literature about Hunters) and has a vast knowledge about fighting and weapons because of this. Due to this and his excessive idealism, he's very confident about his capabilities and isn't afraid of taking responsabilities or risks in battle, and because of that some people can consider him an egocentric (when he actually isn't; he actually cares about his teammates and their opinion). He 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 (he's actually very corny romance-wise) but he isn't attracted to anybody in particular since he's way too centered in learning how to become a Huntsman. 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. He's chivalric but can be blunt when expressing himself, and speaks with formal vocabulary.

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 Huntsman 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 an ordinary-looking sword that turns into a rifle with a mobile/revolving bayonet. Its caliber is 5.56 x 45 mm; it can make lethal wounds but it isn't very stable.

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, and isn't afraid of being too close to his enemies when attacking. 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. His Semblance is his ability of making his enemies get confused for a few seconds if he hits them in the head; this can be really helpful for him since he's already a fast fighter.

Relationships

 * Ryan Chartreuse: Has an OK relationship with 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 (ex: Della is to Bruno what Sancho is to Don Quixote). 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's based on Don Quixote.
 * His obsession with fantasy books and becoming a Huntsman alludes to Don Quixote's obsession with chivalric novels and him wanting to become a knight-errant.


 * His emblem (a windmill) alludes to Don Quixote wanting to attack windmills (when he thought they were giants).


 * His chivalric but overly-idealistic personality is very similar to Don Quixote's.


 * "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.


 * 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.
 * Don Quixote was insomniac as well.


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


 * It could be said that his overly idealistic personality doesn't let him feel extremely sad or depressed like other people, it's like some kind of "emotional shield" for him.


 * He's an INFP.


 * While his sanity is questionable, he isn't violent (to people) or a psychopath.
