You Are Their Greatest Foe. You Are Monster Hunters.

You stand at the very edge of an ice-caked cliff, the whispy scent of crackling cold and brisk, harsh wind pilfering your senses as you look over the vast, unexplored valley. Rock formations bowl the enormous expanse, the rocky spires striking out from the white, frozen ground. earth-colored and hearty vines snake up the terrain to create ecosystems you had never seen before. You shutter, your thick hides barely able to resist the piercing cold that this valley hardheartedly enforces. Yet, there is incessant life. Beasts roam, kicking up the compacted ground with claws, hooves and talons of every different shape and size. They are ferocious, new, powerful and exciting to behold. They are your prize for braving this new world, a continent that has never yet been seen or stricken by outsiders.
Yet, here you are. You and your new team will strike this new ground.
Your camp's scouts have said that there is more to discover. That beasts and enviroments of all kinds have clawed their way into this new land. Steaming forests, Volcanic mountains, sweltering deserts; they are all inviting only the most worthy to become one in their ranks. You are sure you are worthy of such esteem.
You are sure you are worthy, to become a monster hunter!

Welcome, to the Monster Hunters; A Terrible New World OOC! The shifting of vast continents across the world has caused a fateful impact, the clashing of two landmasses that had once been polar opposites across the globe. You, found upon one these continents, have taken it upon yourself to explore a new, vast landscape amid seismic tremors and ferocious beasts to claim the trophies of monsters never seen before. You have assembled your team and charted the course, now all that is left to do is start your courageous journey.
This roleplay will be based on the Monster Hunter franchise, and will incorporate a few of the mechanics found in the actual game. You will play as a charismatic, newly trained monster hunter along with your fellow roleplayers. The RP will focus on group-tactics, survival, and of course; battling monsters! One of the key ideas in this roleplay is that the hunted monster's role will be passed among players, each individual being able to take on the role of a challenging, new beast. Whenever a hunt is completed, another person will take on the role of a monster they created, and another hunt will ensue in another, unique environment. If anybody feels as though they do not have the time or energy to create or play the monster when they are picked, No Problem! I will fill any roles that the other player's are reluctant to fill.
On the flip side, Hunters will be able to progress their characters not through leveling, but instead item creation. Whenever a monster is slain, materials with different and sometimes useful properties will be assigned to hunters. Then, they will create whatever weapons or items they desire for their character from such materials. From axes to potions, swords to armor, anything can be created and used in a hunting battle. Weapons and items will be subjected to GM approval before use, however.
In this roleplay, I would ask that communication and mature attitudes be emphasized. This will be almost like a group arena scenario. Thus, we must all understand the thoughts, concerns, and ideas of others so we may create a colorful and flavorful landscape of monsters and hunters together. Your input creates the great battles that will take place, so I want a group of leaders that will create a roleplaying experience that everyone enjoys. I'm looking forward to hunting monsters with you all!

*Please PM Monster Character Sheets to me. Hunters are not supposed to know about a monster's statistics until that hunt's opening IC. Before then, all they must know of is the name. Thank You.
