Tanner Hunt (CBO0tz)

Tanner Hunt was a UNSC Marine veteran of the Human-Covenant War. If it hadn't been wartime, Hunt would've been indistinguishable from any regular civilian on the street - he was a live-in-the-moment extrovert who loved being the center of attention, sports, cities and making new friends. With the beginning of the genocidal war the Covenant however, he became just another fresh body to fuel the UNSC war machine - whose sheer will to live to see another day has pushed him to survive, despite the toll it's been taking on his soul.

Being rushed through boot camp in 2536, he first experienced the War in 2537 during his first deployment during the Beta Taurius Campaign, a drawn-out war of attrition between the UNSC and the Covenant that he survived by using every advantage he had at his disposal.

While fighting in the trenches of Beta Taurius II in 2539, finally nearing the end of his first (and bloodiest) tour of duty, he got accepted into a full-time University program that taught chemistry and architecture – after surviving an 18-month long conflict, the UNSC allowed Hunt to join and study in order to acquire skills to further his career as a soldier, however he would have to make up the time he missed in his first tour.

He graduated after 3 years (from 2539 to 2542), and upon graduating, the UNSC allowed him entry into the UNSC's Engineering Corps later that year, however his next tour of duty would continue past the maximum 4 years to a staggering 6. He was assigned to Anubis Corps, 38th Field Company for his second tour of duty in 2542, slated to finish in late 2547.

Mainly performing missions in the Outer Colonies, such holding out for a week during the Battle of Alluvion, a brief evacuation operation on Petrovina, and numerous week-long battles on numerous colonies. Staff Sergeant Hunt's career-changing moment started when he had partaken in the Battle of Draco III, which was largely considered to be one of the bloodiest defeats the UNSC had ever taken. For his actions during the battle, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, Junior Grade, and had applied formally for a position within the ODST. Continuing to serve his last years of service, ending his tour with the Battle of Victoria.

During his time off-duty, however, he had ended up being caught in a Covenant invasion on Skopje.
