Tanin, Lord of the Horizon

Tanin, Lord of the Horizon is a character inspired by our very own anonymous community member.

In the boundless skies of Earth: 2250, where wind-swept ruins crown mountains and storm clouds hide the scars of ancient wars, Tanin soars as both hunter and herald. A spirit ranger with light brown hair and piercing green eyes, his presence is felt long before it is seen — a shadow moving across the ground, wings spread wide against the sun. Known to some as the Lord of the Horizon, Tanin is a figure of awe and unease, his mastery of the skies matched only by his relentless pursuit of those who draw his ire.

Born in a time when the rangers of the high ranges still guarded the mountain passes, Tanin’s life was shaped by discipline, exploration, and the hunger for knowledge. His spirit form granted him powers beyond mortal limits — flight that defies distance, speed that blurs the world into streaks of light, and the ability to bend time to his will. A master tactician, he can halt the flow of battle in an instant or revisit moments to alter outcomes, making him an almost mythical foe to those who try to escape his pursuit.

Yet Tanin’s virtues are shadowed by flaws. His thirst for knowledge sometimes curdles into obsession, and his need to remain relevant drives him into dangerous conflicts, unwilling to fade into obscurity. Fear of irrelevance gnaws at him, pushing him to overreach, to take risks, and to dominate situations where patience might serve better. Trust is not easily given, his past riddled with betrayals that left him wary, and his sharp intellect often tangles itself in overthinking.

In battle, Tanin rains down death from above, his bow and blade guided by uncanny precision. His strikes are as much a part of the wind as the air itself, and when he chooses to appear before his prey, it is often already too late for them. Yet he is not a mere killer — his code is bound to honor and duty, and his actions, however ruthless, are taken in service of what he sees as the greater good.

From the jagged cliffs of the Skyforge Citadel to the shifting dunes of the Ember Range, Tanin’s silhouette is a warning: the hunt has begun. To his allies, he is a guardian whose wings shield them from harm. To his enemies, he is the horizon itself — ever present, inescapable, and closing in.

When the Reckoning comes, Tanin will rule the skies. And from that endless vantage, he will decide who among the living will see another dawn.
