Mental characteristics

Personal history

Tanner Young was born with the power of chronokinesis. In his youth, he was taught how to fight by the masters of his village. He lived in the village of Mor, which was a hostile place where very few Amps lived. He was a prodigious student in the field of combat, becoming the greatest student in the village's history. He eventually became a soldier for his home country. Tanner fought his fair share of battles against invading countries and grew disillusioned with the chaos of the outside world. He decided to leave home to offer his talents to those who needed them. He traveled the world, helping people and killing powerful Amps. He made a name for himself by killing vicious Amps around the world. He challenged the Calamity of Storaria, Garret Afia, and managed to defeat him.
He soon founded an organization named Sentinel, naming after his believe that Amplified humans should use their powers in service protecting the people. He sought to create a system that could end the chaos that Amp conflicts were causing around the world. His first obstacle was the nation of Mese. It was developing an army of Amped soldiers that could conquer the world. His first order of business was to defeat the empire, which would lead to the Cape's war. It lasted for for many years, but Sentinel was victorious.
Tanner's victory allowed him to establish Sentinel as a global power. Despite this victory, there remained other issue. Raymond Grant, a veteran of the war, established his own nation that could pose a threat. Young and Raymond made a deal; Those living in Earnest could not leave without their mutual authorization.
The organization turned it's attention towards the domestic threats in Ameralia. Many criminal groups, terrorists now called supervillains were targeted by Sentinel. These local conflicts ballooned into its own war in a way, necessitating Young to grow his organization. Other Calamities such as Bionic, Wraith, and Typhon brought extra power to the organization and helped him expand across the world. More and more branches were created.
Decades went by, and Tanner's organization had dominated a large portion of the world. He employed heroes worldwide protecting cities from the various criminal groups that threatened innocents and earned the support of numerous governments, furthering his power even further.

Virtues & Personality perks

He has a geninue sense of justice that he believes in upholding. Young is willing to show loyality to those who've earned his.

Vices & Personality flaws

After years of work managing global security, Young's goals have degenerated from "protecting the innocent from those who wish to see harm to them," to "rooting out evil at all costs." He's quite callous even towards his closest allies and will sacrifice anyone at the drop of a hat. His long life has diminished his empathy for others, especially non-Amped people. His goal of protecting the world is based in satiating his ego to a certain extent rather than purely altruism as he claims. While confident in his ability to defend the world, Tanner Young is plagued by a paranoia that can interfere with his decision making. Being one of similarly powerful peers, he refuses to fully trust any other Calamity and if he deems it necessary, would gladly kill them if he had to.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Tanner is familiar with other Remnants. He has an antagonistic relationship with Bionic due to him challenging his power. The others work under his organization but are not subservient to him, which is something that can cause a good amount of stress. Typhon is tolerated as he's effective in quelling disarray among the populace. Ìs is his peer on the Council, but she has a non-combative role. He has a disdain for Raymond's cruelty and archaic worldview, but lets him be out of respect and a desire to avoid conflict. He made a deal with Raymond that Earnestians cannot leave unless Raymond and Young agree. While Tanner is generally amicable towards them, he primarily values them for the order they sustain and he'd kill any of them if he deems it necessary. To nations under Sentinel rule, his public image varies. Generally, he's seen as a heroic figure who brought order to a chaotic world, while some see him as a dictator.

Social Aptitude

He's a capable public figure with chrisma and a deep understanding of social etiquette.

Mannerisms

Young's demeanor is professional and well mannered. He tends to speak formally with an aversion to slang and profanity. He's rarely raises his voice, but he speaks with such an intensity that matches his leadership role. Regardless of the situation, he remains calm and collected at all times. When interacting with civilians, he's friendly and civil. When interacting with his subordinates and other Remnants, he's considerably colder and brisk.

History

Ulrich and Young became acquainted well before the Cape's War, but developed a working relationship after Sentinel was established. Despite officially being his subordinate, Marley is not subservient to Young, only respecting his authority for the sake of order. Ulrich believes Young to be a poser who only wants power as much as any dictator and uses the idea of justice to justify his actions. Young in turn thinks Ulrich is nothing but a deceitful man who who only goes along with Sentinel's mission for an ulterior motive. A sentiment he may be right about as Wilson has been planning a coup under Tanner's nose
