Mr. Hyde Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 [spoiler=Story] "Times have always been hard in Craglyph...but i fear the worse has yet to come." Welcome to the continent of Craglyph! Craglyph is a water locked continent that has been seperated from the mainland for as long as people can remember. Some myths say that the work was done by one of the great tunneling Elder Dragons, but few believe this tale. Life on Craglyph is hard for humans, and all creatures alike, as the island is dominated by the monsters who inhabit the wilds, terrorizing the scarce villages of the land. The mainland has given up hope on settling on Craglyph, and have retreated most of their Hunters Guild forces from the continent. However, some leaders of the Hunters Guild could not turn a blind eye on that island's inhabitants, and have instead erected Hunter Schools on the island! And so the Hunters Guild of Craglyph was instituted! The Hunters Academy, along with the guild, was built north of the Primal Forest, in a village called Grandora. It trained it's new generation in the ways of defending their home turf from the monsters who seeked to thin the population! As time passed, hope had slowly come back to the people of Craglyph, as they started living normal lives without having to watch over their shoulder to see if a Wyvern was about to snatch them away! Humanity is finally fighting back the natural forces that oppose them everyday! From here on out, as you graduate from the Hunters Academy, you will be known as a Monster Hunter! Your fellow Guild members will be at your side, protecting our flourishing villages! May the Elder Dragons grant you luck where others have fallen! [/spoiler] [spoiler=Rules] 1. All YCM rules apply 2. No godmodding or metagaming, thats my job! 3. If you plan to play, please be active! 4. Advanced Clause rules supreme here! 4 lines of text a post would be much appreciated! 5.

Make sure to only post after 2 others have posted, as to not flood the RP with spam 7. Any player misconduct will be issued with a warning, and if troubles persist, will be banned for 2 days. 8.

If you have read all the rules, place the phrase "Let's Hunt some Monsters!" somewhere in your app (Preferably at the end ;3!) [/spoiler] [spoiler=The World] [spoiler=Map of Craglyph] -Frozen Seaway (Snowy Mountains/Polar Sea) -Primal Forest (Jungle) -Sunken Hollow (Old Swamp/Swamp) -Everwood (Forest and Hills/Old Jungle) -Dunes (Old Desert/Desert) -Ancestral Steppe (Great Forest) -Volcanic Hollow (Old Volcano/Volcano) -Canyon -Heavens Mount (Tower/Great Forest) [/spoiler] [spoiler=Monster Beastiary] None Yet [/spoiler] [spoiler=Weapon Types and Classes] [spoiler=Great Sword] Large Two handed swords that deal massive damage, but are very slow on the draw. Their unique ability is being able to be charged for a period of time for a stronger and slicetacular swing! Attacks can also be blocked by side of your giant sword. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Long Sword] Long swords deal slightly less damage than Great Swords, but are allowed to combo into a higher chain. The long sword's unique ability is that after a long combo chain, the sword will glow white, amplifying the swords sharpness and power. Doing more combos in this state will allow a yellow glow, and then red. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Sword and Shield] The Sword and shield is considerably smaller than the Great Sword and Long sword. However, it is much quicker and can string together major combos. The shield in the off hand allows for easier blocking as well. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Dual Blades] Whooooah calm down tough guy! Anyways the Dual Blades are pure offensive weapons with no defensive capabilities. Dual Blades come with a unique trait that puts their users into a frenzy called demon mode. In this mode, their offensive capabilities increase and they can perform an attack called the demon dance. Just watch out because at close ranges you're bound to get hurt. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Hammers] Hammers are probably one of the slowest weapons on the market. But whatever a sword can't slice through, a hammer is sure to be able to break through. Hammers are one of the only blunt force weapons, and can smash through tough monster hides. Just like the greatsword, it's swing can be charge do deal massive damage [/spoiler] [spoiler=Hunting Horn] A unique weapon that many hunters have yet to master fully. Just like the hammer, it is a blunt force weapon, but it trades damage for faster swings. Depending in what way the horn is swung, it will play a music note. After three swings, the hunter can blow the horn to play a melody that buffs allies in the area depending on which notes were played. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Lances] Lances are as straight forward as they come. Its main offensive trait is piercing through monsters. It also comes equipped with a shield. The Lance can perform a charging stab, which can easily disorient a monster hit with it. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Gunlance] The gunlance is a piercing weapon like the regular Lance, with a more explosive turn. The gunlance comes equipped with a mechanism that can unload powerful shells depending on the gunlances element. These shells explode in an elemental frenzy and can combo with lance jabs. A unique attack the Gunlance possesses is the Wyvern's Fire, a giant blast that takes a while to recharge. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Switch Axe] The switch axe is a fairly simple weapon. One moment it can be a comboing sword, and the next instant it can turn into a powerful axe! The perk of using this weapon is that strikes stir up a phial inside the weapon, giving the switch axe its unique property of unleashing elemental attacks in it's sword state. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Insect Glaive] Another unique weapon class. It is a very combo heavy slicing staff that allows for acrobatic maneuvers. With every insect glaive, the user receives a Kinsect. The kinsect can be sent out to attack monsters and absorb their energy. After the Kinsect is retrieved, it shares that energy with the glaive user. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Charge Blade] One of the most powerful melee weapons. It can only be wielded by a mighty few. The charge blade starts off as a sword and shield combo, but can be transformed into a Charge Blade by sliding the shield onto the blade, forming a large axe. A phial is stored in the middle of the shield and can unleash major blast damage if enough energy has been stored in sword mode. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Light Bowgun] The light bowgun is for those who prefer range and mobility. With ranged weapons you can carry different types of ammo, but normal ammo is unlimited. Depending on how large your bowguns clip is will determine how often you will take to reload. Some Light Bowguns offer a rapid fire function that allows for quick and easy damage. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Heavy Bowgun] The Heavy bowgun is for those who prefer range and power. It can unload multiple types of different ammo, and has a large clip size. The only problem is that it is hard to transport, so make sure that your team mates have monster agro before barreling into it with these weapons. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Bows] A fast, unique ranged weapon. An infinite quiver of arrows is automatically provided, although each individual doesn't do a great deal of damage. Bows can also use different Coatings to cause different effects (Paralysis, Sleep, increased Attack power) although each Bow can only use certain Coatings. [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Palicos and Palico Classes] Palicos are your Felyne companion that are standard issue after graduating from the Hunters Academy. They come with many colors, and personalities, as each Palico (Felyne) has a different fighting style! Palico FIghting Styles -Melee: Up close and purrsonal attackers -Ranged: purrfur to attack from afar with boomerangs or blow darts -Bomber: Sets up Explosives and throws bombs -Trickster: Sets up traps for monsters, including tainted meats and hazards -Healer/Buffer: A Palico who uses a horn as a weapon, purrfuring not to fight, it usually buffs its allies with horn blows. Healing horns are also blown to heal allies. -Treasure Hunter: Can make a expedition turn into a gold mine [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Character App] Name: Gender: Age: Appearance: (I will accept pictures, but if you don't have a picture, please describe your character with 2 paragraphs. Add height and weight regardless of picture) Personality: (2 paragraphs describing your character! Backstory will go here as well!) Weapon: [Type of Weapon/Name of Weapon] (1 paragraph describing your weapon, and special attributes of said weapon) Armor: [Swordsman or Gunner armor/description of armor (Swordsman armor is tough and has good mobility, while Gunner armor is lighter and allows for greater mobility)] Preferred Hunter Team: Palico Name: Palico Fighting Style: Palico Appearance: Palico Purrsonality: [/spoiler] [spoiler=Accepted Apps] [Spoiler=Jago Brimford] Name: Jago Brimford Gender: Male Age: 47 [spoiler=Appearance:] Height: 6"3' Weight; 210 Lbs. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:] Jago was raised on the mainland continent as the son of a legendary hunter. He was raised to despise monsters and admired his dad for taking a stand against the horde of evil that threatened the human's daily lives. Growing up, he studied at the mainland Hunter's Academy. Jago was more of a hell raiser, and when it came to armed combat he was the ace of the class. He would've been top of his class if his best friend Valentine hadn't beat him at every turn. He was brash about it, like he was about everything. However, he never held malice in his heart towards a fellow hunter, that was always outsourced upon the monsters. Jago prefered using the Charge Blade in school, as he was strong enough to handle it, unlike Valentine who stuck to the Light Bowgun. After graduating, he was given his palico Jade, and shot into the field where he learned that he was an excellent hunter. Valentine on the other hand was more convincing of a bookworm rather than an actuall huntress, but they made an impeccable team. Jago the bold, and Valentine the Vixen were a team that mainlanders told of in legends. Soon after getting married to his partner, Valentine and Jago were sent on a mission to defend the continent of Craglyph from numerous monster attacks. Jago accepted, but insisted that Valentine stay safe, at the time she was about to give birth any day now. The offer was declined and the two were stationed in Grandora Village. Minor monsters had been the only threat for a while, and Valentine was able to give birth to a boy in that time. However a year or so after Jago had gotten the village on good footing, Grandora was attacked by a Rathalos, the likes of which Jago had never seen before. The Rathalos tore the village apart and set fire to most of the buildings. It took the might of all the hunters stationed in Grandora just to fend off the beast. Jade had given her life to save her partner that day, and it was later found out that Valentine had lost her life when the roof of their house collapsed on top of her. The child had been saved underneath the shield of it's mother. When the mainland started to withdraw forces from Craglyph, Jago refused to go home. He was excommunicated from the mainland Hunter's Guild, and was forced to give up all of his medals and armors, in hopes that they would be saved for more loyal hunters. Jago knew that Craglyph needed him, he established the Craglyph Hunter's Guild, where more excommunicated hunters helped him grow. He soon became the Village Leader of Grandora, and protects all of it's inhabitants. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Weapon:] [Charge Blade/Vixen's Edge] Forged in blood, sweat, and tears, Vixen's Edge is the Charge Blade Jago had constructed after the Hunter's Guild had removed all of his weapons and gear. The Charge Blade is crafted from the parts of a Seregios, and retains it's edge no matter how many times it hits an object. The blade is a pink color, while the shield retains a silver hue The Insignia of the Craglyph Hunters Guild has been crafted onto the shield. [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Tai Brimford] Name: Tai Brimford Gender: Male Age: 18 [spoiler=Appearance:] Height: 5"11' Weight: 175 lbs [/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:] Tai Brimford is the son of the leader of the Craglyph Hunters Guild, and as such, there was much expected from him while he was growing up. He had never met his mother due to the cruel fate that Craglyph had bestowed upon her, but he felt like he had known her his whole life. As he grew more and more excited for the days where he could be like his father, it seemed like his father wanted to push him away from that goal. He always told Tai of the days of peace on the mainland, and how he should move there to study and become a hunter. Tai was always infuriated by this, he wanted to protect the place his dad had created alongside him! He was smart and cunning, and had already trapped smaller monsters outside the walls of Grandora. Whenever his father found out, he was never too pleased, but Tai could see the pride behind his fathers menacing glares. He started training and learning at the Hunters Academy at the age of 12, with much resistance from his father. Though Tai wasn't as book smart like his mother, he was very strong willed and cunning. He could figure out any problem in any textbook. Fighting a Kut-ku? Bring sonic bombs to disable the monsters senses for a period of time! Was the monster skinny? Drug some meat and then catch your prey. During combat training, Tai found out that the Charge Blade he yearned to use was sadly to heavy for him to weild. Instead, he picked up a proficiency in Long swords! They weren't super heavy but allowed for quick movements. Tai wants to protect the city alongside his father and fellow classmates against any threat that may come to Grandora, and as he gave his final speech on graduation day, he could feel the spirits of Grandora lift, as a new age of hunters had descended upon Craglyph. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Weapon: ] [Long Sword/Icy Embrace] Icy Embrace is a sword handed down by his father. Jago had been crafting it masterfully since the day Tai had started training at the Hunters Academy. The blade is made out of expensive ores and has been dabbed with Freezer Sac juice from the strongest Zamtrios he could find. When the blade slashes through monster hide, it slows down that monster for a very small period of time. The ice left in the wound drains monster stamina. [/spoiler] Preferred Hunter Team: Righteous Palico Name: Agu Palico Fighting Style: Melee Palico Appearance: A white coat with purple splotches all along the side. Where's typical knights gear and uses a lance in combat. Palico Purrsonality: Agu is a very proud meowmeber of the Felyne race. He heard stories of Palicos that toured the lands fighting alongside legendary guild members! He had always dreamed of having a sidekick human as he took all the fame and glory for himself, toppling the greatest monsters with ease. After Clawllege, he was paired up with the man who would make him famous across the land, Tai Brimford, son of the Hunters Guild Leader! [/spoiler] [spoiler=Overton Westley] Name: Overton Westley Gender: Male Age: 40 [spoiler=Appearance] http://i.imgur.com/koD9YA8.jpg Overton stands at six feet, three inches tall. Weighing in at 240 pounds, he is solid in every meaning of the word. He's a darker skinned gentleman, bald, with a full beard. He wears dark, skinny black sun glasses, and can often be seen with a cigar in his mouth. Overton is well built, and has a fairly muscular frame. He is not slender, but he is by no means fat. He casually wears a shirt and tie to nearly any event or location, giving him a professional feel without the professional look. He wears a a white collared shirt, black tie, and yellow sleeveless vest over it all to complete his ensemble. His pants match his vest perfectly, and is well complimented by the enormous purple belt buckle and brown leather belt he keeps it all together with. His shoes are brown leather slip-ons, couple with solid gold buckles that hold the shoe's tongue tight to the roof of it. His shoes are lines with comfortable purple lace, keeping them clean and comfy. He wears matching purple socks with his name engraved in gold lettering on the cuffs of the socks. Overton keeps his sleeves rolled up, just in case he has to deal with any raunchy monsters. Though his fists are unscarred, he is always ready to use them. He wears three rings on his left hand, one each with a different meaning and corresponding to the finger he has given that meaning to. On his index finger, an emerald ring representing power. On his middle finger, a square cut amethyst representing trust. On his ring finger, an onyx band representing reliability. On the inside of each ring, beneath the band that holds the ring together, Overton's initials are engraved inside of the rings, as well as the description of the rings themselves. Beneath the collar of his shirt, on the back of Overton's neck is a tattoo. It reads " Support > DPS" in bold graffiti green lettering. Beneath the tattoo is a smaller tattoo in the shape of a Hunting Horn, and it appears to be blowing out the words written as the above tattoo. Further more, on the right hand, Overton has a tattoo written on his knuckles. It reads "Big O!" in green graffiti lettering as well. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality] Overton loves to laugh. He keeps a smile on his face more than anyone you've ever met. He's very passionate and open about himself and those he cares about. With this in mind, Overton is also very protective, and it is this reason he has chosen to be a supporter. He is quick to take a blow for someone else, but he is equally quick to strike. Protection is something he lives for, and it gives him a fulfilling drive. When he has successfully aided in a kill, he often disregards himself in favor of his allies, selfless to the end. He will happily hand over things he doesn't need, often saying things like, "there's nothing I could possibly want more than this" as he refers to his hunting horn. No one who knows Overton would ever give him a negative listing. Loving, bold, trustworthy. These are the attribute used to describe him more often than not. Despite his large figure and intimidating appearance, he is a kind man at heart, wishing nothing but the best to those around him. Overton's kindness stems from his upbringing. He has always been taught to give to those less fortunate, aid those in need, and to be thinking of others before himself. Before the late and peaceful passing of his mother and father, before his marriage to his beautiful wife Hailey and the birth of their daughter Kristine. Before learning of the tragedy of his home island. Before all of these things, Overton always has, and always will be the gentle giant that he is today. And just recently, Overton took it upon himself to aid and teach young Hunters everywhere the mechanics, skills, insight, and training that they would need everywhere. In his practice, he has befriended Jago as a fellow hunter, and he walks beside Jago providing the utility that only he can. He has already prepared for the inevitability that he may very well die doing what he loves: giving back. It is this acceptance that has allowed him to keep his heart and mind open to every possibility, and wakes him up with a smile on his face every day. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Weapon] Weapon of Choice: Hunter Horn Weapon's Name: H.A.M. Horn [spoiler=Description] The "H.A.M. Horn", or, "Hard as a Motha- Horn" is a very sturdy, but beautiful Hunter Horn. It is made of pure ivory, but has been encrusted by emeralds, onyx, and amethyst around its opening. Its handle is wrapped in a thick yellow cloth, with Overton's initials embroidered in the cloth in red string. Extending behind the mouth of the horn, into its ivory body are a series of "O"s. They spread directly to the mouth piece of the horn, and are unevenly spread throughout the horn's surface. The H.A.M. horn has been designed so that its offensive capabilities are nearly null and avoid. The notes played by the H.A.M. horn will do little to no damage to a monster, but provide some of the best utility imaginable. For specifics the H.A.M. horn does four things. With one note, it can buff an allies damage output by 15% for a short duration. With a second note, it can reduce the damage an ally takes by 30% for a short duration. With a third note, it can increase the reload and fire rate of allies by 10% for a short duration And finally, with a fourth note, the H.A.M. horn intimidates monsters with a powerful shriek, causing them to take 15% additional damage from all sources for a short duration. In other words, when the H.A.M. horn is blown, go H.A.M.[/spoiler][/spoiler] "Let's Hunt some Monsters!"[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [Spoiler=Hunter Teams] Names subject to change from group members* Team 1: Righteous 1. 2.

Sethera Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Quick question: Rule 5 mentions playing as a cadet, which I assume would be an academy graduate. What is the average age of a Monster Hunter cadet then? Is it 18? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo. Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I have a question too. does each character have a signature weapon (for example a long sword that is unique to him/her)? Or will we go like the games where we start with a crappy one and then evolve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will we go like the games where we start with a crappy one and then evolve? I really don't want to do a crafting system like the game...it'd be really hard to do that like them, so maybe you can have a signature weapon that can evolve depending on what monster we kill...its a system i still need to work on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He keeps a smile on his face more than anyone you've ever met. He's very passionate and open about himself and those he cares about. With this in mind, Overton is also very protective, and it is this reason he has chosen to be a supporter. He is quick to take a blow for someone else, but he is equally quick to strike. Protection is something he lives for, and it gives him a fulfilling drive. When he has successfully aided in a kill, he often disregards himself in favor of his allies, selfless to the end. He will happily hand over things he doesn't need, often saying things like, "there's nothing I could possibly want more than this" as he refers to his hunting horn. No one who knows Overton would ever give him a negative listing. Loving, bold, trustworthy. These are the attribute used to describe him more often than not. Despite his large figure and intimidating appearance, he is a kind man at heart, wishing nothing but the best to those around him. Overton's kindness stems from his upbringing. He has always been taught to give to those less fortunate, aid those in need, and to be thinking of others before himself. Before the late and peaceful passing of his mother and father, before his marriage to his beautiful wife Hailey and the birth of their daughter Kristine. Before learning of the tragedy of his home island. Before all of these things, Overton always has, and always will be the gentle giant that he is today. And just recently, after graduating from the Hunter's Academy at the grand young age of 40, Overton has set out with his Palico partner and his fellow guild members on a rather ripe adventure. He has already prepared for the inevitability that he may very well die doing what he loves: giving back. It is this acceptance that has allowed him to keep his heart and mind open to every possibility, and wakes him up with a smile on his face every day. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Weapon] Weapon of Choice: Hunter Horn Weapon's Name: H.A.M. Horn [spoiler=Description] The "H.A.M. Horn", or, "Hard as a Motha- Horn" is a very sturdy, but beautiful Hunter Horn. It is made of pure ivory, but has been encrusted by emeralds, onyx, and amethyst around its opening. Its handle is wrapped in a thick yellow cloth, with Overton's initials embroidered in the cloth in red string. Extending behind the mouth of the horn, into its ivory body are a series of "O"s. They spread directly to the mouth piece of the horn, and are unevenly spread throughout the horn's surface. The H.A.M. horn has been designed so that its offensive capabilities are nearly null and avoid. The notes played by the H.A.M. horn will do little to no damage to a monster, but provide some of the best utility imaginable. For specifics the H.A.M. horn does five things. With one note, it can stun a monster for a short duration. With a second note, it can lure a monster like a siren's song. With a third note, it can turn a monster against other monsters for a short duration. With a fourth note, the H.A.M. horn provides a powerful wind funnel that increase the movement speed of allies who run through it, while slowing monsters. And finally, with a fifth note, the H.A.M. horn intimidates monsters with a powerful shriek, causing them to take 15% additional damage from all sources for a short duration. In other words, when the H.A.M. horn is blown, go H.A.M.[/spoiler][/spoiler] Preferred Hunter Team: Glory Palico Name: Greenwing Palico Fighting Style: Trickster Palico Appearance: Greenwing's fur is mostly solid black, except for three long, thin green stripes on his right front and back paws, leading to his stomach. He sports a charming look, with a wrapped ascot around his neck, and thin black shades much like Overton's. Palico Purrsonality: Greenwing is very playful. He loves to get up close and personal, meeting new people without hesitation. He is very friendly and forward, and compliments this with his unwavering courage. He loves to get into the thick of things, fighting right along side Overton in even the biggest of messes.[/spoiler] Just a couple gripes i have with this app Dad 1. I believe you're missing an important phrase somewhere in this app, might wanna gloss over the rules again :3 2. Hunters Academy is basically like high school for monster hunters, a 40 year old graduating doesn't make much sense...they'd probably have redirected you to the Traders Academy a few blocks down after your 5th year. I can't accept him as a fresh cadet. 3. The H.A.M. horn is a little too strong, monsters aren't really going to be affected by your horn, its more of an emphasis on buffing your allies. Stronger attack, Boosted Defenses, reload speed/recovery speed, etc. Also, monsters already do fight each other in the wild, so having an effect like that seems a bit redundant 4. I'd be willing to accept Overton as maybe a teacher character, or a fellow hunter alongside Jago (The leader of Grandora) If you have any questions, just contact me!

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 [spoiler=White Knight (WIP)] Name: Kent Chevalier Gender: Male Age: 17 [spoiler=Appearance] Kent is not the tallest hunter, standing at 5‘10“ and weighing 168 pounds. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality] Kent is an angry young man. A very, very, very angry one. He’s quick to get into a fight and is quite reckless. His parents were hunters, and very bad ones at that. They almost never managed to do anything right and eventually disappeared entirely. Most say that they ran away with their tails between their legs when he was very young. Therefore Kent has tried hard to wipe his parents' actions off of his name. He gets especially pissed if you bring up his parentage. Kent was raised by various people before being placed in the Hunters Academy. Everyone who tried to raise him were strongly and quickly rebuffed by Kent, as he refused to accept any parental figure. Behind the anger and recklessness Kent is a supremely loyal friend and ally. Even if he gets into fights with his teammates he’ll always do his best to help them out when they’re in need. Even so he strives for nothing more than proving himself so he is full of bluster and obsessed with competition. So the loyalty doesn't get noticed nearly as much. Quite sensitive, Kent cannot stand seeing innocents hurt. If something goes wrong and someone gets injured then he beats himself up about it and does whatever he can to make it up to that person.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Weapon] [Sword and Shield/Talon and Fang] The sword is Talon. It's a straight-edged sword on one end but on the other it's serrated from nearly the tip all the way down the blade. It's black in color and often causes severe bleeding and hard to heal wounds when the serrated side is used. Fang is the shield. It's fairly simple, red, round shield. The only unique quality is the large steel spike in the middle. Kent often uses this shield to bash enemies and uses the spike to pierce monsters.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Armor] Kent's armor is shiny and allows for a lot of mobility. It's all golden colored but it is not, in fact, made of gold. However it will never dim or rust. Somewhat plain otherwise. The pauldron are particularly thick and durable, and Kent uses those to block attacks when his sword and shield don't.[/spoiler] Preferred Hunter Team: I don’t know anything about the teams so leaving blank for now. [spoiler=The Palico Runt] Palico Name: Ciara Palico Fighting Style: Healer Palico Appearance: A tiny Palico, with all black fur. Wears blue robes with a hood that she often hides behind. One of her eyes is milky white and blind, which she’s been teased about by others of her kind. Palico Purrsonality: Shy and withdrawn, but extremely attached to Kent. She promised to stay with him and keep him safe to the best of her abilities. She worries about his aggressive ways but has total faith in him. Used to be teased often because of her blind eye and her small size, as she was the runt of the litter.[/spoiler] [/spoiler] Almost finished but I'm unsure about the weapon and armor tbh. Hope everything else looks good so far. Also not sure what to do for preferred hunter team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gustavph7292 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 [spoiler='Jin Raitou']Name: Jin Raitou Gender: 17 Age: Male Appearance: Height: 5'8 Weight: 140 Personality: Jin is one of those people with a permanent scowl on his face, whether he is happy or not. He is more of a tactician, studying the monster from afar, and making his move based off of that.Using this logic he chose two types of weapons he thought would be best depending on what type of monster would be in the area, and what he would be targeting. Spending a lot of time with his nose in a book, not always a book about monsters, Jin tends to waste hours at a time reading away. Jin is really smart, if he put effort into things he could easily take top of class. He is just too lazy when it comes to school work to try. Jin's family runs a insect farm growing and raising insects of all kinds, even those for insect glaives. At the age of 12 Jin was sent across the sea to study at the infamous island. Quickly finding his place at the front of the class studying became a favored hobby. when it came time for practical exams he knew exactly which weapon would suit him best, the Insect Glaive, sending a letter home asking for one of the insects so he can train it himself. Weeks later a care package arrived for him, containing said insect, and nutrients and such to help it evolve. Also, inside of the care package was a glaive to use, gifted to him from the village elder. Weapon: Insect Glaive: Witch Hunter; A four foot black metal pole wrapped in Rembora skin, attacked to, a one foot Rembora like wing blade, with yellow accents on the 'webbing'. On the other end is a Rembora hood covering the pheromone cannon. A giant black rhinoceros beetle(who has yet ot evolve), with two red stripes going down his shell and a pair of glowing red eyes, sits on Jin's left arm, he has a tendency to call it Stripes. Stripes, tends to buzz around the monster distracting it, Jin can also have Stripes attack. Armor: Black Rembora leather armor (it looks like leather armor, its just made out of Rembora parts instead of Popo parts), covered in a black trench coat with a hood, he usually keeps the hood up. He has a dark gray belt outside of his trench coat with his carving dagger sticking out from behind his right hip, on his left hip he has three pouches for easy access and a small dark gray backpack. Preferred Hunting Team: Glory? [/spoiler] [spoiler='Palico']Name: Chester Fighting Style: Bomber Appearance: Black and Orange Tabby. He wears a black coat that has one pouch on his left hip, and flint on both shoulders. Personality: Quick to action Chester does little thinking before acting, so he will run into the monster and start chucking bombs in its face before consulting any idea. He hung around humans too much when he was a kitten so he lost most of his meownster purrsonality, talking more like a human would. [/spoiler] "Let's Hunt some Monsters!"

Also, inside of the care package was a Sect Happa; a glaive to use, gifted to him from the village elder. After reading some tactical books, he learned that going head to talon against all monsters was a smart idea, so he trained also in bow use. Weapon:Insect Glaive: Sect Happa; A glaive with cruel one foot talons on both edges. Light and strong, it yields graceful movements; made entirely out of Queen Seltas parts. A giant black Rhinoceros beetle, with two red stripes going down his shell and a pair of glowing red eyes, sits on Jin’s left arm, he has a tendency to call it Stripes. Stripes, tends to buzz around the monster distracting, Jin can also have Stripes, attack. Bow: Blue Alighter; A bow as wide as the maw of a Zamtrios. A blue metal lines the jaw of a Zamtrios with the teeth still in. with the quiver of arrows sticking out from behind his left hip. It can use any one of these coatings at any given time; Power coating, which increases the amount of pain the monster feels, Close Range coating, which has a stronger effect than Power, it just wears off on the arrow sooner, Paint coating, targets the monster with paint so that other hunters know it is being hunted, and an Exhaust coating, which coats the end of an arrow with a tranquilizer.Armor:Najarala Blademaster setZamtrios Gunner set Preferred Hunting Team: Glory? [spoiler=Palico]Name: Chester Fighting Style: Bomber Appearance: Black and Orange Tabby Personality: it is a wip but this is what I have come up with so far. I just cant think of a personality for my little Tabby, or what it should wear. Idk if i want armor that advanced for a cadet...unless it was passed down by his family. A seltas and Najarala would be crazy to kill at this young an age. Also i forgot to put a limit on weapons, but i would like you to stick to one weapon. Don't be afraid to break outside the norm either, you don't have to stick to MH equipment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
