The Hunter

Level 1
Day 1
Tetris Castle Reception Hall
Interactions: Samus Aran @Lmpkio, Ezio Auditore @Loki Odinson
Mentions: Amaterasu @Gentlemanvaultboy, Gordon Freeman @Hostile, Mario @Holy Soldier

The Hunter glanced over at the strangely armored woman who came forward. The whispers once again returned, speaking the words "Samus Aran", "Chozo", and "Metroids". Shaking them from his head again, the Hunter lightly smiled at her comment. "No. Those are Vilebloods, and no one likes them. Besides, most of the blood I get covered in is hardly human." The Hunter glanced back over at the odd wolf-woman. She was apparently "speaking" with the Free Man now. Though how they apparently communicated through silence was beyond him. Still, he was able to pick up traces of meaning through the whispers. Apparently the wolf-woman's name was "Amaterasu". Turning back to Samus, he added, "Interesting choice of weaponry, by the way. The few hunters I know who use arm canons are known for their love of explosions."

The Hunter's attention was suddenly seized by the onset of whispers from a man in red at a nearby table. Through the sudden haze, the Hunter could only catch one word: "Mario". Curious. He was about to ask something, when this Mario character suddenly hurled food at Samus. The Hunter motioned for her to move, when suddenly Amaterasu lunged up onto the table to intercept. Glancing to his left, the man in the white robe suddenly hurled a bowl of soup at him. As all of the food splashing began to converge on the Hunter, he channeled his natural energies throughout his body. While in no position to naturally dodge, he did have a trick up his sleeve. Tapping into his art of Quickening, the Hunter kicked himself back off of the table and out of the path of food, moving faster than normal sight could track. Of course, kicking off the table meant that anyone on the other side was getting covered in food.

Sliding down one of the rows for a few feet on his back, the Hunter flipped himself back onto his feet. He was very annoyed. He had just been forced to use a Quickening burst over a food fight. Normally, the Hunter wasn't one to engage in such petty debacles, but he was furious. Noticing the man in the white robe climbing up the rafters, the Hunter grabbed a nearby set of sausage links. He gave it some momentum by spinning it around, before hurling it at the man as he jumped across the rafters.

Having gotten that shot off, the Hunter moved to get some distance between him and the others. If things continued like this, the fight would mostly be held at range. Any extra distance would give him more time to dodge. He moved to a row where he would have ample room to avoid any further attacks, and waited for this all to blow over.

Tetris Castle Reception Hall

The Hunter was somewhat relieved when the strange creature with a long tongue took its leave. He had nothing particularly against it, but the tongue uncomfortably reminded him of the bloodlicker beasts of Cainhurst. Come to think of it, a lot of things here reminded him of Cainhurst. The castle architecture and the strange creatures roaming the halls were similar features. The only way it could be even more similar was if the castle was guarded by heavily armored warriors.

Shaking himself from his memories, he observed as the strange creature wandered its way over to the figure with the white hood. His equipment looked moderately similar to that of a hunter, but he saw no adequately sized weapons for beast hunting. The hunter figured it might be likely that the man was a hunter of men of some kind. Not an unnecessary profession. After all, Eileen had dedicated herself to hunting hunters who had lost themselves to the beast within.

The Hunter's attention was reclaimed by the wolf-woman when she barked questioningly at him, sniffing the air in front of him as she did. It looked particularly strange to him, as to his perception it was a woman barking at him. Still, he somehow found himself able to piece together the meaning of what she said. She was asking about his scent.

"What, my scent?" he replied. "Hunters have a strange aroma to them, so I'm told. We naturally smell like fresh blood. We aren't sure if its because we're covered in the stuff half the time, or because our blood has been altered." Still, he wasn't sure that that was exactly what she was asking about. His first thought was that she sensed the beast within. But that couldn't be possible. The pale blood had cured him of that.

The strange memories from before were starting to return when the "Free Man" came over to them. The whispers returned to him, and the Hunter suddenly had a good idea who this man was and what he did. Curious, that this man was both a thinker and a warrior. He returned a nod to Freeman, before focusing back on the wolf-woman. He too was quite curious about what she was.

The Hunter quietly observed as more of these "heroes" came in. He found it odd to be counted among there number, as he never considered himself much of a hero. He just had a job, and did it well. That job just happened to be monster slaying. Still, the Hunter couldn't help but be intrigued by the variations in equipment. Various examples of strange armor and weaponry caught his attention, though to the Hunter most appeared too bulky for proper beast hunting. Occasionally, he heard whispers in his head of names and deeds, such as "Samus Aran" and "The One Free Man". The Hunter gently shook his head, annoyed at the mixed blessing of his insight. Sniffing the air for a few moments, the Hunter noticed a rather large white wolf slip under the table next to him. It seemed wary of him, which he understood. The Hunter had once been told in his earlier nights by his friend, Eileen, that hunters had a rather... distinct scent to them. They both assumed it was from constantly being drenched in blood.

Still, it was odd. None of the people in the reception hall seemed the type to bring along a companion such as this. Noticing the wolf come up from the other side, the Hunter was about to get a closer look. Suddenly, the Hunter was bombarded by the strange whispers that often accompanied his insight noticing something hidden. Quietly recoiling from the sudden and intense shift in his focus, the Hunter looked back up and was immediately surprised. In the place where the wolf once sat was now a beautiful woman wearing a white dress with strange red markings.

No, that wasn't quite right. The woman WAS the wolf. This was just the form she hid from everyone. Cocking his head in curiosity, the Hunter spoke quietly, so no one but the woman could hear. If this thing hid her true form, he wasn't sure how she would react if he gave it away.

"Strange. Most of the things I've seen that hid their true forms did so because human minds couldn't handle the truth. And yet that's clearly not the case with you. Quite interesting." The Hunter was now quite convinced that she was no one's companion. The question was, what was she? No Great One the Hunter knew off had a naturally human looking form.

The Hunter quietly carved himself some steak. After the unrecordable amount of time of the Long Hunt, he was starting to feel more hungry. Something that at least had a small taste of blood would hopefully satiate him. As he started eating, the Hunter suddenly turned in reaction to the appearance of a strange, round looking.....thing that was consuming all food within its reach. It suddenly stopped as it put a hand on the strange woman's ham, before pausing and blankly staring at her. This....this couldn't be one of the heroes. Could it?

"By the blood, what have I gotten myself into?" he muttered to himself.

Glorious eyes that literally grow on the Hunter's brain. For some reason. God, Bloodborne is weird.

The Hunter

Level 1
Day 1
Streets of Yharnam - Tetris Castle Reception Hall

The Hunter awoke with a start, finding himself lying a a filthy alleyway. His mouth tasted of blood, but that wasn't entirely surprising. Everything in Yharnam tasted of blood. As he stood up, the Hunter took stock of his surroundings. No signs of activity. No traces of local beasts or crazies. No sparkling auras that hinted at eldritch interference. He was safe for the moment. Finally looking up, the Hunter finally found something that surprised him. It was morning.

Morning. The Long Hunt was finally over.

The Hunter tried to remember what had happened before he woke up. He had learned the truth about Gehrman. He had slain the Moon Presence that bound him to the Dream. And then.... The Hunter suddenly recoiled at a whirlwind of memories. Knowledge and power that his human mind couldn't take. Shaking off the effects, the Hunter found that he could at least remember the important parts. Something about a Mugen Virus. Evidently there were other realms far from this one that required the skills of a hunter. Taking stock of his equipment, the Hunter found he only had his threaded cane and pistol. Annoyed at his lack of bigger armaments, the Hunter consigned himself to retrieving what was left from the Dream. Whatever was left of it.

Suddenly, the Hunter caught something out of the corner of his eye. A strange looking cloud floated down from the sky towards him. While his instincts screamed at him to prepare for combat, his strange memories told him that this thing was expected, and had more information for him. Sure enough, his memories were right. The cloud approached him, and out popped a strange turtle looking creature that the Hunter could only assume was some new form of Messenger. It handed him a note, and flew off as he opened it.

Inside, the Hunter found information he strangely already knew, mixed with details that helped explain it to him more fully. Pulling out a pencil, the Hunter encircled the YES option. With the end of the Long Hunt, he needed a new purpose. Suddenly, a strange portal opened beneath him, and he felt himself sucked into another land.

Opening his eyes, the Hunter wasn't initially certain he had gone too far. The architecture was distinctly similar to the large, ornate, and empty Castle Cainhurst. The big difference, of course, was this castle was much brighter and didn't smell of blood. Turning towards the sound of footsteps, the Hunter was surprised by the strange orange creature that approached him. It looked like some strange, deformed Celestial Emissary. Noting its apparent desire to direct him somewhere, the Hunter followed behind. Interfacing with the strange portal device, the Hunter found himself in an open reception hall filled with banquet tables of food. Thinking to himself, the Hunter couldn't remember the last time he ate something that didn't taste of blood. Oddly enough, he wasn't sure he'd appreciate the change. Deciding on waiting for someone else to meet him, the Hunter sat down, pulled down the cloth over his mouth, and took a few bites from a dinner roll.

I've never been too big on taking multiple characters. I might, but I'm not focusing on it now.

Project Crossover [Video Game Crossover RP]

The Hunter

Character Name: Hunter (The Hunter has forgotten his original name after his experiences in the Hunter's Dream)

Kingdom: The barbaric kingdom of From

Appearance

Written Description: The Hunter stands at a tall 6'2", and weighs 180 lbs. He has a lean, athletic frame, and has a thick layer of muscle over his body. His pale skin is pockmarked all across with scars and marks from his battles with beasts and monsters. He has short brown hair, and green eyes. Still, most people don't see much of his body other than his eyes, as much of his body is covered by his hunter garb. The Hunter wears a long black coat, with various straps beneath to keep hold of his equipment. This is accompanied by a tattered tricorne hat, and a cloth that covers his mouth. While the Hunter normally keeps his attire ordered and neat, it doesn't take long for them to be soaked in blood over the course of a hunt.

Personality: Out of many of the survivors of the From kingdom, the Hunter is one of the best at imitating a semblance of sanity. Out of habit, he keeps most of his attention focused on the hunt. He is very business oriented, and spares little thought for any sort of leisure. Of course, this isn't necessarily his fault, as only the strong and focused can survive the From kingdom. The Hunter has a very quiet demeanor, and will rarely engage in any sort of social interaction. the exception to this rule is when he encounters someone who he either considers an equal, or otherwise catches his interest.

Still, beneath the Hunter's grim and dour demeanor, he does retain one shred of his humanity. Despite everything he has endured, the Hunter still cares about people. In the past, he has been known to delay a hunt to assist someone truly in need. However, he will never show this side of himself to anyone, and will attempt to rationalize his actions to those who ask about it.

Game: Bloodborne

Current Story: After slaying Gehrman and the Moon Presence, the Hunter took its power onto himself, becoming an infant Great One. Cared for by the doll within the Hunter's Dream, he slowly grew in both power and awareness. Watching the Kingdoms outside of From, he became aware of the threat of the Mugen virus. Learning of the call for heroes, he took the Hunter's Dream unto himself, using its energy to craft himself a human avatar; one identical to his previous human form. The hunt begins again.

Weapon(s): Threaded Cane - The Hunter wields a segmented cane with incredibly sharp edges. It effectively can be swung around like a sword. Additionally, the cane's segments can be unlocked, allowing it to stretch out as a long, bladed whip.

Hunter Pistol - The Hunter also wields an old fashioned pistol. However, it is consider unique in the form of its ammunition. The pistol is designed to fire quicksilver bullets that are infused with the Hunter's blood. The unique properties of his blood increase the damage. Interestingly, the Hunter uses his pistol primarily defensively. He will fire at an enemy while they are mid attack, stunning them and allowing him to use a more devastating strike.

Strengths

Blood Healing - As a hunter, the Hunter's body has been altered through blood transfusion to have a heightened regenerative system. By injecting himself with blood, the Hunter is able to rapidly heal from any injury. Additionally, a weaker form of the effect called "rallying" can be triggered when the Hunter strikes a foe quickly after taking damage. However, he is only able to heal up to the damage he took with this method.

Eldritch Insight - After experiencing the secrets of Yharnam, coupled with his time as a Great One, the Hunter has a unique perception of that which is hidden from mortal sight. It isn't as illuminating as it was as a Great One, as the Hunter forgot a great deal of what he learned in that state when he became human again. Still, the Hunter can see much with his "eyes on the inside", as he calls them, able to see through magical illusions, as well as see various celestial and supernatural beings that are normally invisible.

Blood Bullets - When running low on ammunition, the Hunter is able to draw forth extra bullets from his own blood. It requires him to harm himself, but the damage he takes can be healed through the rally effect.

The Hunter's Dream - While the Hunter's Dream has ceased to be a physical place with the creation of the Hunter's human form, it still rests within his body. Whenever the Hunter sleeps, he is able to commune with the Dream's residents, as well, as fully heal his body from any injury. Unfortunately, with the Dream no longer a physical place the Hunter, can no longer return from death. Should he die again, he shall revert to his Great One form, and the Dream shall be released.

Weaknesses
The Hunter is incapable of flight. He is susceptible to pitfalls, though not necessarily long falls. Whenever he takes a big hit, the Hunter staggers for a quick moment, and is unable to react.
