Hi all. I'm the resident hunting expert, sorry I haven't spoken up yet. I've posted my character, Trenton, in the characters tab, but I'll throw him here too. Don't judge it for being 'too simple,' he's more fleshed out than it makes him seem.


[hider=Trenton Wist]
[b]Name:[/b]
Trenton "Locke" Wist

[b]Species:[/b]
Human, Hunter

[b]Age:[/b]
39

[b]Appearance:[/b]
An almost scruffy-looking man, with stubble and thick, dark hair. White skin, a little tanned, blue-grey eyes. He dresses more professionally for work, but for hunting and leisure he's a big fan of jeans, t-shirts, flannels, and military/utility jackets.
If you really need a visual aid, here's a picture of [url=http://stocklandmartelblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/nino-muncc83oz_hugh-jackman_page_3.jpg]Hugh Jackman[/url] that hits pretty close.

[b]Personality:[/b]
He's a professional, through and through, and sees all missions through to their end. Gruff, but approachable, and with fatherly intincts. He's known to be pretty open-minded, but he obviously wouldn't trust any vampires as far as he could throw them, at least without several silver weapons on his person.

[b]Equipment: [/b]
He's unusually well-off for a hunter because of his job, so he's well equipped. This is his standard loadout, though he's got more stored.
- Silver-coated hatchet
- Silver-coated kukri
- Beretta 92, standard and silver-tips carried.
- Either shotgun or hunting rifle, 12 guage silver-loaded shells or .308 silver-tipped Winchesters
- A smartphone for real life, a couple disposables for hunting work

[b]Background:[/b]
Trent has been on the force for a long time. He's seen a lot, but won't ever forget the night he met his first vampire. What seemed like a standard alleyway mugging on one of his first nights turned into a man screaming as his neck was bit into like a grapefruit. Trent himself would have died that night had a hunter not been there to stop the creature. The hunter explained the truth about vampires, and Trent took up the hunt as what he figured to be a natural next step in defending citizens. Fast forward 20 years, and he's the leading detective for the department, a position that allows his hunting to flourish due to the freedom, perks, and salary.

Given that, he's become a highly respected hunter over the years. So highly respected, in fact, that he's come to be the de-facto leader of the local hunting community under the code-name (to remain anonymous in the 'real world' but still have a presence in the hunting world) 'Locke.' He doesn't hold any real power over any other hunters, but many look to him for some leadership or community.

[b]Extra:[/b]
- Has a family. A loving wife, Julie, and a young son, Ben.
- His job provides him with good cover and a steady stream of cash.
- He wears a silver chain around the neck, and gifted his family the same to protect them.
