  Despite this creatures scary appearance, Tannis is a kind soul. Never much for the usual stories of a manticore life. After his discovery of the life of the civil, Tannis has much preferred to spend his days doing productive things. Though he can never shake the love for nature and the wild. Tannis favorite activity is to lay in the grass and soak up the sun, maybe even having his ears scratched. Tannis loved to protect and help people, taking those under his wing who are in need or lost. He see himself as a wise man, though not perfect and by no means all knowing. Tannis can freely admits his mistakes and is always trying to rectify them. Tannis much rather see things solved peacefully then through war and death, but he is never afraid to fight back, or is he afraid to fight with his people. Tannis for the most part seems like a pushover and would be too soft hearted to run a kingdom, but he is truly a leader to behold. Tannis truly has the balance needed to lead a kingdom to greatness and peaceful times. The leader is never without doubt ever. When hard choices present himself and he much choose for the greater good, doubt takes hold of him and he can mull over it for weeks. The small quark about the peaceful manticore is that he has a tendency to like things straight, neat and tidy. His slow introduction into the human society he has found that things are made to stack with each other conveniently. Papers should be straight, spaces should be clean and put away properly. It bothers the Tannis to no end if things are messy or out of place.

  History:
  
  ​
  
  
  
  Tannis had become king through force. He was born wild like most Manticore. Worked every day for his survival in the wilds, living every day looking for the next meal and water. Through the day to day motions, Tannis livid his childhood until he came across his first hominids, both injured. An elf clad in armor and a gnome covered in robes. Curiosity got the better of him as he moved to help them the best he could. The gnome in the robes was a mage and diverged a spell to speak with him. They conversed with each other for a long time, months while they recovered. With Tannis's help and protection they stayed safe deep in the mountains. When they recovered they offered to bring Tannis to the kingdom which they then disguised as human. Thrown into a kingdom that supports many different races, Tannis was taken to the castle where he was introduced to the current king and hailed mostly as a hero, saving two of the most revered men in the kingdom. Tannis was then welcomed to stay at the castle, so he began his work. He was taught how to speak and write in several different languages and often brought to deal with the peasants and commoners of the kingdom. Tannis found a fondness of working close with people who needed his protection and care. Tannis grew up with a quick understanding on how things worked between classes. The Kingdom slowly started a descent into disarray as the king's health slowly deteriorated. When he suddenly died without assigning a successor the kingdom turned into a split kingdom, breaking into war. For years until adulthood Tannis fought loyally for one of the to-be kings. He fought until he realized how corrupt his lord had became. His eyes slowly opened and looked away from battle and to the people they lead. Unnecessary death was happening, underhanded tricks and horrible famine in his people. War had ravished their land and Tannis felt he needed to do something about it, this was not what the previous king wanted for his kingdom. Slowly Tannis started to open the eyes of those around him, his closest friend whom he had shared the battle field with. The knight and mage also turned with Tannis, following him without question. Tannis didn't stay on either of the nobles fighting for the throne's side. He left them and gave himself to the the peasants who were deeply in need. It was then he lead them as a third force in the fight for the throne, not to take the throne but to end the war.
  
  ​
  
  With the help of those around him Tannis was able to end the the wars and destroy the two corrupt noblemen. When the time came to crown a new king, his supporters voted that Tannis had lead them to the end of a war and he should lead them once again through their peace. It was then Tannis accepted the offer and took up the throne as King. It took Tannis years to rebuild and reunite the kingdom, but under his rule it has seen peace of prosperity and continued to do so in his rule today.

  Weapons:
  
  ​
  
  Tannis mostly fights with his natural weapons. His claws, size, teeth, and scorpion tail. His tail is poisonous and will kill if left on treated after stung, Tannis is immune to his own poison. Tannis is verse in some swordplay from his teachings, but he much rather use his own natural given weapons. Tannis does have wings, but it is hard for him to really get his weight off the ground. His wings are more for show or to help him maneuver around better.
