THE THRILL OF THE HUNT


Since time immemorial, the earth has been inhabited by all manners of life forms: Humans, perhaps the most versatile and advanced of all species on the planet, the various animals that coexist alongside them as pets, livestock, and sometimes even co-workers, and, of course, the mighty and diverse monsters.


What is a "Monster"?

What isn't a monster? Put simply, monsters are incredibly diverse creatures that come in all different shapes and sizes, ranging from the small, chicken-like Yian Kut-Ku to the massive Ceadeus, a horned, aquatic giant not unlike a whale. Just as their appearances vary, so, too, do their roles in the world: Monsters like the herbivorous Aptonoth and Gargwa serve as food sources and livestock, while other monsters, such as Rathalos and Lagiacrus, are deadly apex predators at or near the top of their respective food chains. Of course, these ferocious beasts and even lower links in the have a tendency to act with hostility towards those that wander into their territory or even just stumble upon them on a leisurely stroll. When the time comes, there is a certain group of humans that will always be ready to answer the call to action...


What is a "Monster Hunter"?

Depending on who you ask, monster hunters(or simply just "hunters") can be many things: Friends, allies, employees, miracle workers, and, to many of their clients, saviors. The textbook definition, however, is a lot more humble: A hunter is someone employed by an organization known as the "Guild" for the purpose of completing many jobs and requests from various people hailing from all walks of life, be they fellow hunters, average citizens, or the higher-ups of the Guild themselves. These jobs and requests, typically referred to under the simple name of "quests", can be as simple as delivering a certain amount of a specified item to a client, or slaying or capturing a specific monster as assigned by the client. To many, hunters are the lifeblood of the society they live in, saving lives and serving as valuable friends and allies to just about everyone they meet(with exceptions, of course).


Where Do You Come In?

You and several other would-be hunters have just arrived by airship at the capital city of New Dundorma, located in the middle of a previously uncharted continent far from locales such as the Coral Highlands or Ancestral Steppe. Monsters on this continent have evolved or migrated from all around the globe(though there are, of course, a good number of native species), making it a paradise for those fascinated by the exotic beasts that hunters from Mezeporta Village have long become familiar with, as well as more universally-known species. Your combined task is to simply explore the continent and familiarize yourself with its various locales, while also providing aid to anyone you may encounter on your travels that requires it. Despite the task seeming quite simple on paper, it is highly recommended that you and your fellow hunters form teams and band together on your journeys; hunters, especially inexperienced ones, seldom travel alone. For a hunter, their greatest strength comes from the tight bond between them and their comrades, a bond that only becomes stronger the more they hunt as a single, unshakable team.

Hopefully we can get 1 or 2 more people just by having the OoC thread up, but if not, no huge loss! 6 people is honestly quite a bit more than I was expecting, so I'm very happy with even that much. So get your character sheets ready, and let's have ourselves a good hunt!

I'll suggest everyone that's already made a CS follow King's lead and update theirs; the template got tweaked a bit, but it's nothing huge. Just some spots to put in equipment statistics and images.

Accepted! Just wanna point out something rather minor, though: I asked for a rating of "Low", "Medium", or "High" for the defense in the CS template, but for all intents and purposes, 5 defense is definitely considered low, so you're fine as is~

Oh! Seems like I made a bit of a mistake: LemonZest put in a numerical value for his CS's defense, which I was using as a bit of a base. I'll tweak the skeleton again to make his CS and my skeleton closer.

@KingOfTheSkies

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you please tweak your CS in the Characters tab again to add back in the 5 Defense? Sorry for the mistake. ^^;

Accepted! Throw her in the Characters tab when ye get the chance~

@Kazemitsu We're still accepting, so don't worry one bit! All you need to do is work on a character sheet and post it here in the OoC once it's finished. Once it gets accepted, you're in the clear to put your character in the Characters tab! Happy hunting, dood~

Is there a limit on starting weapon type (beyond just having it be the base weapon of its type) Due to the dragon bone tree being a thing.

Likewise what about low-tier starting metal armours? (like the start In the event you do't want to use leathers because your going for a 'heavy' build

*e.g Chainmail*

Nope, no restriction on starting weapon classes. From Sword and Shield to Charge Blade, if it's in Generations Ultimate, it's fair game. Please do try starting with the base weapon trees (Petrified, Bone, Iron, or Yukumo weapon trees, just for examples), though. If you're unsure about something you want to start with, just run it by me and I'll give my two cents.

I think the heaviest I'll allow for the moment is Chainmail, with its Generations Ultimate stat lineup and skill setup. Kiranico should be able to supply you with that information. Just try to avoid Chainmail S and Chainmail X sets for the moment, please. We're starting with low rank level armor, after all.

I wasn't sure what starting weapons and armors were acceptable, so I went with the bare minimum. Bone Rod III, from what I could remember from MHW, does not have any elements until it gets upgraded. Let me know though. I would totally love to sport a stronger Kinsect for my character (half joking).

Okay, couple of things to point out:

1. I'm going to have to ask you to downgrade your Bone Rod III to Bone Rod I and switch your armor over to the Generations Ultimate Leather set (with 5 more points in Gathering), assuming you want to stick with the Leather set. MHW did a lot of stat inflating with armors compared to older games, and it also messed with the skill system(for worse, IMO). Speaking of which...

2. For "Active Skills", I'm actually asking for the skills that the armor set you currently have equipped has activated. In case World was your first MH, here's a quick run-down on how skills in pre-World titles work:
-Each piece of armor gives you a certain amount of points in one or more skill trees
-Once you have 10 or more points in a certain skill tree, the skill associated with that particular tree will activate
-Some skill trees have different tiers of a particular skill; the next tier is usually reached by investing another 5 points in that tree
-Some skill trees have negative skills, which trigger in the same way, only with negative point investments instead of positive ones
-If you don't have at least 10 positive or negative points invested in a skill tree, the associated skill won't activate
Hope that all makes sense. It's not as complicated as you'd think, but if you're still in the dark, I'd be more than happy to help you. :)

3. Much less important of a change I'm asking for here, but if you could please add another paragraph or at least a few more lines of writing to your biography section, I'd appreciate it. Also, if you'd like, see if you can't add a proper write-up for your character's personality section aside from just the adjectives and whatnot. I don't want your character to be half a blank slate; get creative!

If that doesn't change your mind about joining in, I'll be looking forward to seeing your character sheet after you make the changes I requested. ^^

I know very little about the Monster Hunter Universe, but the more I look into this idea the more I'm willing to give it a go :D
