[OOC] Monster hunter: Story of Cantarco village.

[LemonZest1337]

EH dw about it. Tho I'll have to ask you to edit out the Shop keeper and guild Lady. They are coming in later you'll get the first few quests from the Chief herself and the stalls outside are where most of the vending will go down. Also I got a plan for the smithy as well.

[Kazemitsu]

Ah, just going by what I saw in every guild hall ever XD

[LemonZest1337]

Yeah I still gotta figure out how to make the Guild girl Quirky, adorable and likeable all at the same time. Plus they are in the town hall. Cantarco got no guild hall kinda like Moga.

[Kazemitsu]

Oooooh I see!

[DeletedUser9Gh7]

You guys are on a freaking roll.

[LemonZest1337]

I'm if for a lot of work with this thread ain't I? Shivers as he imagines how fucking hard posting a monster fight scene will be Mother of god.

[DeletedUser9Gh7]

My post wont be that long but I can try.
I'm gonna post one right now actualy.

[DeletedUser9Gh7]

@LeamonZest89 Wait is my charcter is inside the hall already?

[LemonZest1337]

If you want. Or he could have gone back to his house and slept there. It's up to you. Heads up for everyone else I'm going to wait for everyone to have their posts done before making my next one. Only Santos and Renny need to post currently so sorry in advanced if my reply takes a while but there are a lot of you now so. Please bare with me.

[DeletedUser9Gh7]

Okay.

[LemonZest1337]

Idk if I need to edit my most recent post. If anything looks up then tell me. It's 7 AM and I haven't slept... Also just going to add, in future (this goes for everyone) please don't post flashbacks unless it is the person actually explaining this part of their backstory to someone else. It helps avoiding accidental meta knowledge.

@LeamonZest89

Well I mean, unless you introduce custom/player created monsters (which might be cool) all you'd really have to do is maybe watch a few videos of monsters or think about how they attack in the games, and then just convert that to descriptive writing, right? Then it's up to the players to figure out what might be coming next and react accordingly--if "the mighty Barroth lowers its huge, armor plated head," and starts "scraping the ground with its back feet, kicking up thick clods of soil and uprooting the sparse grass" for instance, the players who move away or use their shields/weapons to block won't get hit or take as much damage. But the player who keeps attacking would probably get tossed by its Charging Attack in the next post and be damaged or left vulnerable.

And the great thing about MH is that it doesn't need a lot of guidance as far as Plot goes--Hunters hunt Monsters, who can appear anywhere at any time for any reason, and the peoples of the MH world use Monster parts for everything from food to clothing to construction. Hunt this Great Jaggi because its pack is tearing up Cantarco Farms. Hunt a Damiyo Hermitaur, with a Subquest for 6 Cephalos, because they all drop Large Monster Bones which can be used to help construct a "real" Guild Hall. Bring this person 2 Rathian Eggs because they're a gluttonous gourmet. And so on until we're ready to take on ancient beasts of nigh-godlike power!

[LemonZest1337]

Oh yeah I get all that, it's just going to be tough writing a single character fighting everyone else. Having him react to all four(or more) of them accordingly while also making him launch fair counter attacks will be the main part of the challenge. I know the monster telegraphs off by heart. still triggered by rathian tail flip

And yeah there probably won't be any fan made monsters.

[Skwint]

I've died more to rathian tail flip than any other move. The telegraph was just so subtle and it hit me every time.

[Zeroth]

Is everyone pretty much going to stick with their chosen weapons, or will anyone try to double up/test out the different types? If we had a Gunner or a Bow user it might make battles a little more dynamic since we wouldn't all be gathered up at the monsters' feet hacking away. Personally I was planning to have Kazuki stick with the Long Sword, but try to forge a couple of different elemental or status types--although that might be more the forte of the Dual Blade and Sword-n-Shield users.

[LemonZest1337]

I'd say it's up to you if your character uses a different weapon from time to time. That's why I put it as preferred weapon not just weapon. I'd hope people mix it up in the future but it is by no means necessary.

Name: Tamietta Nafay

Age: 26

Gender: Female

Height: 5’11’’

Appearance:

Her Face

Her Crest

Her Casual Wear

Tamietta has a curvaecous, yet built physique, with especially muscular yet smooth legs from her years of swimming. She is covered in numerous scars over her back and sides from her roughed up lifestyle. Most notably is 3 deep, large scars that take up practically the entirety of her outer left thigh and even a bit of her hip. She’s also mostly barefoot in her spare time and also wears a small medallion with her island’s crest on it when she’s not hunting. She does wear shoes when hunting, obviously.

Preferred weapon: Shielded Heavy Bowgun or Hunting Horn

Likes: Silence, the thrill of the hunt, unexpected results, simple living, a calming tea, swimming

Dislikes: judgement, people with no drive, pestering

Personality: Tamietta is a rather kindly woman. Despite being covered in scratches from her work, she has a rather calm demeanor about her and an almost motherly tone. Almost all who meet her describe her as a woman who seems to believe in the best of others, despite others thoughts. She tends to be rather upfront and honest as well. She is also a woman who firmly believes in the term “the world is your oyster” and doesn’t like to be told otherwise. While she isn’t the type to yell at others about independence, she’s rather persistent when she has her mind made up on something.

Despite her kindly nature, Tamietta is also one of the most bloodthirsty and focused hunters that most will ever see. As if to completely betray others ideas of what she’s like, she turns into an efficient shot and seems to be entirely focused on getting what she wants from the monster, whether it be a tail or its life. When out on the field, she’s always the first to run on ahead and track the monster down and even goes out of her way to make sure the hunt is complete.

Short backstory: Tamietta comes from a small tropical port village and is the daughter of one of its most prized hunters. Ever since she was young, she was taught the ways of the sea by her father and her brothers and was brought on many of their overseas trips. Those trips forged her more and more as she became more hardened and an amazing help with the hauls they brought in. However, there was one thrill she adored that only her eldest brothers knew of- hunting. She snuck away on their escapades and hunts and saw them take on large monster after monster. Before she was even 13, she was allowed to practice on the smaller monsters, such as Ludroth, under their supervision of course. However, the thrill of seeing them fight those larger monster never completely left her.

Years later, she decided to set out for her own career in hunting and started to train in hunting the more vicious monsters around the village. She moved on to Royal Ludroths(though only killing 3 thus far) and was surprising capable at fighting them, though with difficulties at first. Despite her still being a newbie, she is still an aspiring adventurer and a risk taker extraordinaire. It also seemed like a change of pace would be very welcome for her. Granted a volcanic village isn’t that much different from an island, it still seemed like a step in the right direction.

If you actually are able to tell what two cultures I picked to make this character, you get a cookie.

EDIT: No cookie if you knew cause I had them up there for a second

[LemonZest1337]

I'm guessing Moga and the caravan. But that's just me. Also I'll make an exception and let you in, that puts us up to 6 hunters. Which I think is a better number to settle with for now. And when that number eventually hits seven if Skwint gets his CS out then it'll be a bit nicer because we could have two parties counting the Riders monsters as a 4th hunter. So you're in!

Fuck I'm just making my own job harder.

Also is that a Moana fan art?

[ZekariVoblis]

I don't think it is. I pretty much just searched up tall samoan girls and it just popped up. It seems more like a generic curly hair attempt I think.

Then again, I say this but honestly, it just being straight up fan art wouldn't shock me either

[LemonZest1337]

Lol. Also did I guess right? I sorta wanna know.
