Tetsu Ken

鉄の拳
(Tetsu Ken)

Age: 68

Gender: Male

Gear:

(The following set of armor was harvested from a group of Ceanataurs that had been nesting in a volcano not far from Tetsu Ken's village. They were slain by the hunter's late father, Hetetsu Ken.)

Ceanataur Helm
Ceanataur Mail
Ceanataur Braces
Ceanataur Tassets
Ceanataur Greaves

+ Ludroth Bonesword

+ A set of three Pitfall-Traps.

Fighting Style/Tactics: Tetsu Ken provides a rather tanky role to any team he contributes to, his stature and equipment always reflecting his tactics of stay put and stay fighting. He believes creating scenarios that keep a monster in place and grounded are one of the key strategies to completing a hunt successfully. He also believes he is an essential part of that strategy; his core strengths lying in his expertise of keeping a monster interested in him, and keeping himself standing. To take on a monster with your own great power, is to take on a hunt with certainty; this is a motto Tetsu Ken always hunts by.

Useful Skills: Tetsu Ken is proficient in the setting of traps, particularly those that impede the movements and attacks of monsters. Furthermore, Tetsu has a helpful background in the maintenance of melee weaponry, particularly the designs of katakanas, bows, and greatswords.

Personality Buffs: Tetsu Ken is an older, wanderlusting adventurer; the practical avatar of a grizzled hunter. his body is coarse and worn, ancient muscles rippling across his back from his lifetime as a dockworker. Thus, he finds himself taking the head-on confrontation against a gigantic beast more often than not, put there by his own wishes and want for battle prowess.

Whenever Tetsu Ken is engaged in Melee fighting with a monster, he has a better chance to execute successful mounts and keep himself mounted on a monster. Furthermore, Tetsu takes a lesser amount of time to get back on his feet after being thrown down by a monster.

Miscellaneous:

Tetsu Ken was once a strong dockyard hand, passing his days by loading and unloading cargo as he looked out at the exciting seas ahead. Seas he would never be able to sail or reach. With a family of seven children and a stay-at-home wife, Tetsu Ken spent many of his years merely trying to support his wealth of children. They were his pride and joy, of course, but something nagged at the working giant. He had never possessed adventure, nothing had ever excited him. He had thrown his young adult freedom to the wind in order to settle down into a family. Now, here he was, stuck as a Dockyard worker.

Slowly, Tetsu's children left home and struck out into the great green yonder, finding careers and families of their own. One by one Tetsu's household became smaller, and one by one he started to lose purpose. His children, the reason he worked and thrived, had now left him for their own adventures. Where was his?

Three months after his last child went to live with his own, new family, the continental impact happened. It sent gigantic tremors through Tetsu's village, his family, but most importantly; his sense of purpose. Scouts soon came back to the giant's dock town saying that a grand new land had been discovered, and that monster hunters were desperately needed to help clear out and set villages into the new frontier. Here was Tetsu's chance to find adventure and excitement; he had never lost his chance, he had just been waiting for it. So out the man strode, ripe with newly found vigor and a will to gather the trophies of great beasts.

Name: Kaze

Appearance:

Armor

Out of Armor

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Gear:

Gear

• Weapon:
  War Mace: An Iron Hammer with a sharp tip to increase deadliness. An easy weapon to obtain.
• Helm: Giaprey Helm: White helm made from Giaprey materials. The hallmark item of a snow-lands hunter.
• Torso: Giaprey Mail: Made of Giaprey materials, this practical armor is a northern hunter's trademark.
• Gauntlets: Giaprey Vambraces: The snow white Giaprey material of these vambraces make a tenacious armor.
• Faulds: Giaprey Tasset: Tasset made from Giaprey material. Superior item that matches ability with beauty.
• Leggings: Giaprey Greaves: Greaves made from Giaprey material. Beautiful design optimized for hunting.
• Talisman: N/A

Fighting Style/Tactics: Throwing full force into everything is how Kaze fights. Every swing should be made to cripple a monster, every smash made to destroy it's life. Using the momentum of his heavy weapons to amplify the force of his own strength. While others keep a monsters attention he comes in from the side or behind to smash their legs into uselessness. Destroying the core of a monsters strength tends to be where he is, crushing their limbs. Or sometimes even assaulting the head from below with powerful uppercuts with his hammer to shut their mouths, denying them their breath attacks.

Useful Skills:
Kaze is particularly skilled at moving through whatever environment he's in. Snow, vines, mud, or shallow water doesn't slow him down. With the strength in his legs it's difficult to knock him on his ass as well once he plants himself. Given the strength in his legs he can lunge in and out of combat, moving several feet at a time. This allows him to be highly mobile when dodging in and out of a monsters attack pattern.

Kaze is also fairly skilled in tracking. He's tracked monsters through snow and mud, some of the more difficult terrains to go through. He's not perfect but he can give a general idea in direction if all they have to go by are footprints.

Personality Buff(s):
Kaze is naturally aware of his surroundings and wary of his foes. He's always moving around, keeping things in sight and shifting away from parts of his surroundings he deems dangerous. Given his wary nature he's always hovering on the flanks or behind a monster, waiting for a proper opening before moving in. This makes him rely heavily on other hunters to create openings or distractions for him to move in and capitalize on.When attacking from behind or from the flanks Kaze deals bonus damage to monsters.

Out of hunting he enjoys cooking quite a bit as well. He grew up in the north where food tended to be bland but nutritious. So he learned how to make good tasting food that was just as nutritious. During his travels he learned from the various Felyne chefs that had their little eateries in the villages. He's not a master but he does alright when he has the ingredients.

Miscellaneous: Got nothin just yet...

Lyra Steppson

Lyra Steppson

Name:
Lyra Steppson

Appearance:
Lyra is a fit female with aqua-blue to white fading hair and green eyes. She's 5'9" feet tall and weighs 124 Pounds, sporting a nice fit body, balanced curves, and a nice tan. Her attire is rather skimpy but light enough as not to bog her down compared to thick heavy armor.

Age:
24

Gender:
Female

Gear:

• Reckless Switch Axe MK III: A Tetsucabra Switch Axe that summons forth the waves, and leaves beautiful trails of water.
• Wroggi Hat: Headgear of a design never seen before. Crafted by a smith who trained in a foreign land.
• Wroggi Mail: Chest armor marked by the unique cloak that covers its back. An import from foreign lands.
• Wroggi Vambraces: Armguards crafted by a smith who was inspired by his travels to a foreign land.
• Wroggi Faulds: Waist armor worn by foreign hunters. Though customized, it retains aspects of the original.
• Wroggi Greaves: Leg armor of a peculiar design that made waves among hunters. They work as good as they look!
• Hunting Knife: A simple knife to slice open the guts of monsters.

Fighting Style/Tactics:
When in battle, Lyra often goes for a "Hit and Run" tactic, mostly due to how relatively weak her armor is compared to most of the other hunters. Basically she goes into the fray quickly, deals as much damage as she can, and backs away once the monster is back on its feet. She's much more of an opportunistic hunter, often seeing and exploiting the monster's weakness with significant elegancy, only backing out when things get too heated.

Useful Skills:
Lyra is actually rather quick on her feet, making her an excellent scouting unit to have on your team. She's extremely accurate when throwing paint balls onto monsters, while having relatively good tracking abilities, and is an excellent runner even while carrying the rather heavy-looking switch axe. She's also surprising well in identifying and applying medicine and antidotes, as well as having good taste when it comes to food, being able to identify almost any animal she eats and smells. This is made possible as she was born in a hunting village herself, where she often tasted various meats from different animals, including during her travels around the world.

Personality & Buff(s):
Lyra is usually seen as an up-beat and extremely friendly person. She usually walks with a nice big smile or grin on her face and loves to make friends towards literally anyone really. Growing up in a nomadic hunting village, she also has a roaring passion for hunting, just like her farther used to, as well as a tendency to travel a lot. She's also very opportunistic hunter, often waiting for the right time to strike at the unsuspecting monster and attack it furiously before waiting for the next time it looses its guard. She also loves to eat food and has been taught by her mother over-basic training in regards to medicine and antidotes, as she was an apothecary. Overall, Lyra's always prepared to go on a hunt, no matter the weather or conditions she'll have to endure.

Due to her good tastes in food, she's capable in creating certain specific meals that have a high dose of positive effects on the user and is also skilled in located various plant matter that's fit for being used as medicine or bandages.

Gaki

G A K I

_{"GAH-KIIIIIIIIIIIII!!"}

Age:
Not known for certain, but looks to be in the 16-18 range.

Gender:
Male

Backstory

---

A man in white armor stands atop a rocky cliff, looking out over the thick jungle below him. The silvery longsword sits silently upon his back. The child he holds in one hand, however, kicks and screams and cries incessantly.

"I never wanted, or needed, a family." His voice is deeper, and colder, than the frozen wastes he prowled to forge that armor. He holds the boy by the scruff of the neck out over the cliff's edge. The screaming stops as eyes go wide with terror, tears falling who knows how many feet into the canopy below.

"All I need is the Hunt."

The Hunter lets go, turns his back and walks away, disappearing into the wind. The child falls, and once again begins to scream...

Gaki awakens from the nightmare, bolting up from his nest of leaves on the cold cave floor. He shakes his head, not understanding why the water drops roll down his cheeks. He needs to keep moving--all the other Monsters are moving, the territories are shifting. Something has changed in this world, and the boy feels instinct pulling him in a new direction...

Gear

Head:
None, currently.
Torso:
Leafy Mantle - It's a bunch of leaves and other material strung on a vine and draped over the shoulders. Useless as armor, but better as camoflauge.
Waist:
Kelbi Skirt - A simple covering from the waist to just above the knees, made by skinning Kelbi and using vines and sharp wooden pins to bind them together. Nice and warm, but not very protective.
Arms:
None, currently.
Legs:
None, currently.

Weapon

Item Name:
Hand Wraps

Appearance:
Thick, heavy wraps made by stripping and braiding plant fiber into sturdy ropes. These ropes aren't just cordage or single braids either--this is the kind of stuff that's almost as thick as your arm. They're wrapped and tied around the arms in a particular fashion, like a huge variant of a boxer or muay thai fighter's hand wraps, but they completely cover the hand and fingers with an end that's just a bunch of knots thickly compressed together.

"Ingredients":
Ivy - To make the cordage.
Carpenterbug - To coat the ropes for weatherproofing and strength.
Gluehopper - To use on the ends to keep them from fraying, and to soak the knots in so they won't come undone.

Type:
Gauntlets

Description:
A pair of gauntlets made by scrapping together materials in the wild; an odd weapon that doesn't even need smithing. However, it's obviously weak compared to "properly made" Gauntlets...then again, up until now, has any Hunter even used gauntlets as a weapon?

Type of Damage:
Impact

Details

Fighting Style/Tactics:
Gaki had to be a vicious opportunist in order to survive. His favored tactic is to stalk prey unseen, then ambush them when they show an opening and go straight for the kill. Due to his lack of technological understanding, he's not comfortable with traps, bombs, or other tools, but if it gives him a leg up he's more than willing to use it. He is also relentless--once he is sure he's wounded his prey, he won't let them get away. No matter if he has to follow them for days and wait for them to sleep or bleed out, he won't give up until he's brought them down--because otherwise he goes empty-handed, and when it comes to survival that can mean death. In the thick of the fight, he's like an angry animal, and will shrug off scratches and bruises while avoiding heavier blows that would break bone or cut him too deeply.

Useful Skills:
Gaki has finely developed senses, so much so that they can seem superhuman at times. He is an excellent tracker, using his knowledge of the wild in addition to those senses. He is also very quick to pick up on "danger signals," even when there's little evidence of such.

Despite knowing little to nothing of technology, his "figure it out or die" lifestyle has made him very creative--he can craft things with natural materials swiftly and with a high degree of skill.

Personality Buff(s):
Gaki's personality isn't well developed, because until now he hasn't interacted with others much. However, he can be summed up very simply: He will do anything to live another day, and anything to find food. This had led to him developing a couple of skills:

Gaki has lived on and traversed many kinds of terrain with nothing but his bare body to protect and support him; thus, he can climb surfaces others wouldn't be able to get a handhold on and find paths where others might be blocked off. He can also find shelter in places others might not think to look, along with hiding spots.

He's fast, extremely fast, because a single blow from something bigger than him would have meant death, and being too slow to chase prey would mean starving. Sometimes he'll even drop onto all fours, moving in a way that should be unnatural to a human with the skill one would expect from an ape.

Miscellaneous:
Gaki will eat nearly anything, as long as it isn't poisonous, and often won't even bother to cook it.

Gaki can't really speak, but could possibly learn over the course of interacting with others.

He's starting off with very little, befitting his life up until now; once the RP is underway and he's made those first connections, gathering materials for armor and weaponry will be one of his biggest driving goals.

Finally, he has a habit of licking his hands when he gets excited. The gesture is reminiscent of a certain dangerous monster...

[Jurassic Weeb]

Name: Rex Drake

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Gear: Armor is full Derring gear, dyed black. Currently utilizes a Hunter's Rifle (equipped with Long Barrel and Variable Zoom Scope attachments). Rex has a bone dagger that his father gave to him before he died, which he is extremely attached to (sometimes even violently so).

Fighting Style/Tactics: Rex is very much used to solo hunting, which often shows itself when in the field; examples of this include following a monster into another area without another thought, planting traps/barrel bombs and throwing flash/sonic bombs without notifying others, and (if he has them) firing Crag and Cluster Shot with reckless abandon. Despite this, he is surprisingly good support, in terms of utilizing Demon, Armor, and Health Shot... however, he's been known to accidentally shoot a monster with the last of those three. Because of his actions he finds himself targeted by monsters quite a bit, so he's gotten quite good at dodging and evading.

Useful Skills: While more of a Jack-of-all-trades than most, Rex excels in long-range sniping, and has learned to read monsters' behavior and body language to judge a target's health.

Personality Buff(s): Rex tends to have a difficult time communicating with others (even those he's known for years), which means that his comrades have been known to be jumped by smaller monsters out in the field. So far, nobody has been killed, but because it hasn't happened yet, that doesn't mean it won't happen. Due to what can only be described as ADD he tends to notice things that others wouldn't (a monster stalking the group, a rare/valuable item, etc.).

Miscellaneous: - Rex has weak Psychic abilities; in-game, this would be equal to +5 Skill Points (where +10 is Detect, and +15 is Autotracker).
- Has an extremely odd habit of shooting targets in the knee, even if he isn't using a Bow.

Serra

Serra

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Armor:
Arzuros Helm
Arzuros Mail
Arzuros Vambraces
Arzuros Faulds
Arzuros Greaves

Weapon:
Metal Bagpipe

2 x Pitfall Traps
2 x Shock Traps

Fighting Style/Tactics: Serra’s strength comes from her ability to play to her ally’s strengths and creating opportunities for them to shine. Her main goal though, as she would put it, is to be as irritating as possible. She draws attention while playing her songs and carefully preparing for the opportunity to let her allies shine, using traps or a well placed hit to stun a monster. Solo hunts have always been far more difficult for her, but she can handle herself well enough.

Useful Skills: Serra’s unwavering sense of confidence in herself and her choices might make her seem a little arrogant, but in a fight, it allows her to keep her cool in almost any situation. She also prides herself on being a good judge of character when it comes to meeting people and after one or two hunts, is able to start thinking about how to better utilise someone’s more unique abilities.

Personality Buff(s): Serra has always had a rather abrasive personality, but it can serve her well in a fight. She uses this confidence to her benefit, distracting and luring the attention of monsters by making herself appear to be a better target. This strategy can be incredibly dangerous though, as she often wears armour that is more utility than protection. One wrong more, one missed thought and she can be taken out of the fight in an instant. Despite the risk though, she revels in the opportunity to draw the monster’s focus. After all, hiding in the back lines wouldn’t be fun at all.

(I would think of this like the Taunt skill in game, they have a slightly higher chance of hitting her, but only if she is actively drawing attention)

Miscellaneous:
Serra’s hobbies include playing her much smaller instrument, a lyre, and learning to cook. Her attempts at cooking haven’t ended very well, but she is determined to master the skill one day.

While her ability as a tactician is quite good, her overconfidence often gets the better of her. This can result in her rushing in without thinking things through, especially when her enemy seems like it would be a simple fight.

Ailbe Whelan

Name: Ailbe Whelan

Appearance:

My Hider

My Hider

Age: 35


Gender: Female

Gear:
Chain Armor Helm
Chain Armor Mail
Chain Armor Braces
Chain Armor Tassets
Chain Armor Greaves

Lava Pick / Burly Beak

Fighting Style/Tactics: Ailbe once was a great warrior but has shifted into a more protective role for what ever group she may be paired up with. She is very stable and nearly impossible to knock off her feet once in a defensible position, though her heavy defense comes at a cost of speed. Not being able to run on the target leaves Ailbe as a stationary front line keeping the target separated from the back line. Ailbe does not create plans but instead focuses on the unpredictable situations. Killing the monster is a secondary target while making sure all of her group stays safe is the primary.

Useful Skills: Ailbe may be hard on the battle field but once out of combat she is as soft as warm butter. The woman is extremely friendly and well liked by most people she meets, which allows for some special treatment in some villages. Also as a retired Guild Knight Ailbe still has some sway with the Guild and is allowed some special treatment.

Because of her history in the Guild Knights, Ailbe is well versed in the lands and is able to help direct the group to the nearest land marks or villages.

Personality Buff(s): Ailbe has very caring nature to her, she is almost like a mother bear protecting her cubs in combat. She has seen many lose their lives to monsters, so she will do everything she can to protect others from harm. When ever she is blocking for someone besides herself she gains extra defense against the attack. Her slow speed also allows for stronger fortification techniques.

Outside of combat, she is a jolly person with hundreds of tales to tell around a campfire. Her kind and fun personality always creates good relationships and brings good people together. Though when pushed to the edge she can snap and go into a berserkers rage, very rarely though.

Miscellaneous: Ailbe from a child always wanted to be a monster hunter, dreams of killing the biggest beasts always raced through her head. She trained in armed combat and prepared to fight the beasts as she grew older in age. Unfortunately, she grew up in a family of Guild Knights and that was the expectation that would lead her into that career path. Ailbe did not complain though she was still grateful to be apart of the monster hunting life.

It came as part of the job to take the laws of monster hunting to heart, she knew the price that those paid for not following them. Many eager hunters made the mistake of killing monsters that were not permitted, so Ailbe and her fellow Guild Knights took care of them. It was a difficult job but someone needed to do it, and Ailbe was good at it. As she grew older the job became sickening, she grew tired of the simple combat with the poachers. Always ending in a victory for the Guild and death for the poachers.

Eventually, Ailbe decided enough was enough and at the age of 35 she laid down her uniform and picked up a beginners suit of armor. She wanted to become a Monster Hunter. She retired young for the job, but it was no longer a life she wanted to live. Her fellow knights understood and respected her desition to live her childhood dream. Ailbe was finally going to be a Monster Hunter.

Spud

Name: Sir Spud, the Potato Knight

Appearance: <TBA>

Age: 20

Gender: Male/Potato


Gear:
-Worn farmer overalls: Good ol' potato bustin jeans, from the best of all them farmers outta there. Hamd sewn, with some added cow learher straps for added protection around joints.

-Red checked shirt: The trusty friend of any farmer who wants to look casual and professional at the same time whilst farming 'tatos. The red color is narely visible frim years of hard work, and there are many extra cloth pieces sewn into the material.

-Busted steel helmet without visor: Nice and rusty, like the rest of the tools on the farmlands. This helmet has been "repaired" with a large hammer not fit for such delicate jobs, during which process the helmet's vusor part broke off, and now hangs as a cosmetical piece on the top of the helmet.

-Trusty Pitchfork: Bring the mob, because this trusty pitchfork will vandalise any monster with it's rusted steel tips. Numbers show that this pitchfork has 280% better effiency than swords if a large enough mob wields them against a monster.

Fighting Style/Tactics:
Spude doesn't need no tactic, a farmer boy gotta swing the trusty 'fork, and all th baddies be gone in an instant. Just stab and jab and swing this baby around, and you are guarenteed to inflict some PAIN._{PAIN infloction not guaranteed and may result in permanent damage in the user or teammates}

Useful Skills:
-Spudness (Infection Lv.1): Sir Spud is no ordinary farmboy. His innate love for potatoes and close encounter with a few nasty 'tato monsters ,that may or may not have infected him with a disease, gave him a set of unnatural abilities he can utilise in combat.

Pros:

• -Weak Regeneration: As the muscles turn steadely into monster/plant tissues, Spud gains the ability to regenarate. At this point he can recover from serious wounds over time, or rejuvinate quickly after combat.
• -GROW: Spud grows in size overtime like a potato would during the plant's season. Neat.
• -Funky Smell: Spud releases hormones that act as a weak concealment. From far away, he smells like another plant or plant monster.
  
  Cons:
• -Tatos for cooking: Spud's akin has become quite flammabe and cannot resist heat for long. Side effect of his plant genes.
• -Tatos for peeling: Spud's skin has bevome very much like a 'tato and it can be easely bruised, pierced, cut or peeled.

Personality Buff(s): Tho little Spud (formerly known as Joe) has been a potato farmer his whoooole life, he been fighting off tato monsters for a long time. His innate love for these delicious treats affects him in his daily life, becoming obsessed with tatos and their ideas. He sees the inner spud in everything, and even treats monsters like 'tatos. Put em on a fork, cook em, and then have a nice feast.

Now Spud ain't the sharpest tool in the shed (not like the shed has a fine collection of tools), so he be not the most knowledgable around, so he uses his farmer guts and worker wisdom to get around obstacles. He probably be the first one to spot the obvious answer to an obvious question, and he knows a lot about hard work and fixing up busted gear.

Comical Relief: He be making lotsa farmer jokes along the way.

Hey i wanted to send this to you first to see if i needed to make any changes or tweaks

Name: Gideon Makeeras

Appearance:

Verdant Rapier

shirtless Gideon

Shield

Front View Gideon

the definition in his build

Age: 30

Gender: Male

Gear: Bnahabra Hat, Bnahabra suit, Bnahabra Gloves, Edel Roots (Greaves), Chakra Belt

Fighting Style/Tactics: Gideon’s style varies depending on what he wears. He favors this set that he wears at current though, Gideon favors speed over all else. Normally accustom to hunting alone he has learned to watch ALL of his surroundings. As such when monsters go berserk and begin to flail and charge he tends to play closer to the wall as once they charge and slam there head hard enough the fatigue sets in and he can land a few well-placed shots its kind of like tit for tat style. Make monster angry wear monster out.

Gideon has since learned to use his speed to an advantage that will better suit the team that he is apart of offensively he will still use his old tactic of tit for tat but in conjunction with oils now to debilitate the monster and open them up for the bulkier hunters to BUST SOME DAMN HEADS. He favors thunder and paralysis over most effects and elements.

Useful Skills: Gideon is a Scientist at heart, possessing a vast knowledge of flora and fauna mixing and combining things is second nature to him he has a damn decent success rate has read decent amount monster ecologies that have been printed
Personality Buff(s): Gideon is a speedster and loves to dodge all incoming attacks at the last second (adept style). Gideon possess an unusual trait while a trash talker on the field and a scientist at heart he HATES HATES HATES cowardice and the moment he senses a monster attempting to flee from combat the muscles in his legs tense and he gains a temporary boost in speed to chase said monster for a few more attacks hopefully paralyzing it. Has a strange tolerance to paralysis and Thunder attacks.

This is all do in part to how he was raised its not a story he likes to tell but maybe at a campfire with a trusted team…
