The world of Monster Hunter is a huge and fascinating realm for those who love to adventure faraway lands and slay beasts with powerful weaponry, including the massive great swords, hammers, and even ranged weapons like bowguns. Our adventures start with a young upcoming hunter who makes his way into the world by joining guilds and takes on hunting quests. Our protagonist starts out small, hunting smaller and weaker creatures, while even helping local villagers with gathering quests, while slowly progressing onto larger prey until becoming one of the greatest hunters that the world has ever seen by slaying a looming threat...
While we set eyes on the hunter, rarely do we get to see what goes on in the environments that the hunters hunt in. This realm is alive, a huge living and breathing ecosystem that houses a great expansion of all sorts of creatures. From the smallest bugs, to the largest Elder Dragons, they all thrive in a vast assortment of biomes, some of which we can't even comprehend with our own eyes. They can be found in the oldest of forests, the vast stretch-lining ocean coasts, the frozen tundra of the north, a beautiful coral forest, even in the harsh volcanic environments, and more.
In fact, when the hunters aren't looking, even they go out on their own little adventures right in their very backyards. You can find these magnificent creatures go about their daily lives, struggling to survive against the elements and from other monsters and pesky hunters, or perhaps teaming up to bring the balance of democracy against an imposing threat that threatens to destroy everything and anything in its path. If you think the life of a monster is nothing but boring, then my friend you are most certainly misinformed with human propaganda!
This is where YOU show up. You take control of your very own monster in a connected ecosystem... an uncharted part of the world that only now is being explored by hunters. It's here where the ecosystem thrives, You can pick a monster known to science, or perhaps make up your own, and set it loose! Will you be a solitary monster that does its own thing and is aggressive to everyone around you? Or will you be a social creature to form alliances with different species? The choice is yours! After all, all eyes are on you.
Now go out there and explore!
Welcome to Monster Hunter: ECO! A Monster Hunter RP that lets you be in the shoes of the monsters rather than the hunters. You take control of a monster in a vast unknown ecosystem as you survive against other larger predators and even hunters. It's rather simple really.
As for how this actually works from a social point of view, these creatures can "speak" to one another in their own language if need be and can even form alliances provided you keep to your tongue and convince them to do so. Think of it like the Jungle Book in a sense. You are free to do almost anything you want normally, but there will be times that a "warning" can come into play. These act much like how the "quests" work for humans, only you are the monster and you're defending your turf against either a band of hunters OR a rival monster or even an elder dragon, which in that case your monsters should temporarily team up to kill it. The ecosystem is also vast and diverse, having areas with forest, desert, grasslands, volcanos, tundra, etc all within reasonable distance of one another. A monster doesn't always need to remain where it's home turf in, it can wonder around.
That's it really. If you have any questions or suggestions, please ask me. Creature wise, again, you can also create your own monster if you don't want to pick an existing one. No elder dragons yet - and the number of large creatures are quite limited (just so there won't be too much attention by hunters and in a biological sense), but regardless smaller creatures of any kind (up to small bird/brute-wyverns or fanged beasts) are still fine. If enough interest gets by, (lets go to 5 LOYAL members) I'll start the RP up.
So who's interested?
