Monster Hunter: The Thrill of the Hunt [OPEN/ACCEPTING]

@LemonZest1337 Looks good to me, but for now, I'll wait for @QueenOfTheLand to give a solid confirmation.

@KingOfTheSkies

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~

Monster Hunter: The Thrill of the Hunt [OPEN/ACCEPTING]

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. ^^;

Monster Hunter: The Thrill of the Hunt [OPEN/ACCEPTING]

Hider

Name: Asuka Curlon
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Weapon Class of Choice: Gunlance
Current Weapon: Petrified Gunlance (cutting damage; non-elemental; green sharpness)
Armor Set+Active Skills: Derring Armor (dyed red); Mounting Master, Recovery Spd +1 (Defense- 5; Fire Resistance- 10; Water/Thunder/Ice Resistance- 0; Dragon Resistance- 5)
Personality: Usually quiet and somewhat shy, Asuka has a deep respect for nature, especially the monsters she hunts. Asuka never outright fears or hates monsters. Well, most monsters. She dislikes the smaller Neopterans, and is outright afraid of Temnocerans and large Neopterans. Whenever she's not training or hunting, odds are Asuka is somewhere with a book, or observing monsters in the field.
Biography: Asuka was born and raised in Bherna, and given that her father was a Hunter and her mother was a researcher, she came to understand and respect monsters at an early age. Despite this, her mother never wanted her to hunt, knowing how dangerous hunting monsters was. However, her father encouraged Asuka, and a friend of the family began training her. She learned quickly, and eventually mastered the Bherna style of hunting monsters. Because of her skill, she was selected to go to New Dundorma.
Other: — Despite her size, Asuka is quite strong; she had to be in order to wield a Gunlance and maneuver in rocky, mountainous terrain
— Has family in the Mezeporta district, but isn't particularly close with them

@KingOfTheSkies

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~

Monster Hunter: The Thrill of the Hunt [OPEN/ACCEPTING]

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.

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!

Monster Hunter: The Thrill of the Hunt [OPEN/ACCEPTING]

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.

Rules/Notes(Subject to Change)

-Standard Guild rules apply. 18+ content must go to PMs.
-Characters must be posted in OoC to await approval before being posted in the Characters tab. Once I approve your character sheet, you can throw it in the Character tab.
-No godmoding. Attacks will hit, and attacks will miss in equal balance.
-Avoid OOC drama if possible, please.
-I expect 1 or 2 posts a week from you at the minimum. I will make exceptions if circumstances make this inconvenient for you.
-Posts should be, at the bare minimum, at least 2 or 3 paragraphs long. One-liners aren't gonna slide with me, but other than that, make your posts as long or short as you like while keeping in mind the minimum length.
-Making/Acquiring armor/weapons here will function quite differently from the games; upon successfully hunting (Elder Dragons and other monsters being repelled does not count as a successful hunt) a monster, you will have the option to either make one of its weapons, or craft its full armor set. Pick one of the two, not both.
-Armor sets here, especially sets from Frontier, World, and the Generations duology, will occasionally have different skills than they would in the games. These skills, which follow the point threshold system of games prior to World(Generations Ultimate, 4 Ultimate, etc.) would be ones that I feel fit the armor set or respective monster in question. Weapons will function similarly, having statistics that I feel suit the weapon at hand.
-Before you go giving yourself full G Rank Rathalos armor, ask me for a basic armor set, and I'll give it to you. Examples include (but are not limited to) Bone Armor, Leather Armor, Derring Armor(with the skills it had in 4U), Mafumofu Armor, Yukumo Armor, and Bherna Armor.
-I will generally choose monster encounters for you myself as the RP goes on, but if you have any specific requests that I deem are appropriate for the current point in the RP, I will see what I can do to fulfill your request. Just...don't ask for anything silly, like a Valstrax encounter as soon as you leave the starting city, or a Royal Ludroth in a volcanic area.
-Your character is recommended to have an anime-style picture as their appearance, but, for the most part, anything except a real-life photo is fair game.
-Have fun, and feel free to ask me questions if you're unsure of anything!

Bump!

Monster Hunter: The Thrill of the Hunt [Interest Check]

I decided to tweak the CS skeleton a bit to show more information for armor and weapon stats. Thanks to LemonZest for giving me the idea indirectly with his own CS!
