Under the "Divine King" Reinhardt XII, all the territories in the Southeastern regions and the Northern nobility estates were united under. A single banner to which all guilds hold loyalty only lasts for so long. After the king's untimely demise, the Southeastern region's guilds went back to living in small provinces and villages, forming their own local governments. The entire Southern continent is covered with wild creatures known as the "Furious". These large beasts have terrorized the local provinces for eons now and thus the Southern continent has a largely tribal and warlike culture, although they value communal democracy Every autumn, a month-long event known as The Great Hunt is held in the South. Beastslayers from all over the continent gather in the mountain town of Vrost to begin the hunt. Several deadly and spectacular creatures are imported onto the continent from lands far away, and it is up to the participants to slay the Furious. Each warrior is given a List of the creatures available for slaughter, but each one carries challenges and risks.

-The goal of The Great Hunt is to amass as many kills as possible. To prove each kill, the competitor(s) MUST bring back the head of the Furious slaughtered.
-Although Beastslayers register for the event as single competitors, they are free to team up with other warriors.
-All classic Fantasy classes allowed or anything you can come up with, but you must pick one of the Character Branches in the CS.
-Technology level has not yet reached matchlocks and gunpowder-based weaponry.

Just checking for interest now, post CS in OOC.

Query: Is this the kinda story where them hunters have magic shots and potives and such? or are we allowed only tiny pinpricks of iron to annoy the beasties with? (If so, I had best make someone with long legs - better able to run. That, or create them with a dearth of sidekicks who are small and huff and puff and wheeze while at any pace faster than a trot.)

Potive?
Magic is restricted to Magic-classes, but each character Branch has different abilities. As for weapons, you can have anything plausible.

Sorry - large beasties being attacked by diminuitive persons brings up Foundling to my brain. :) Hence, "potives" - or chemicals mixed together in easily breakable jars to throw at said beasties.

Okay, so you've got classes worked out. Sounds good! Count me in - or rather, I look forward to seeing more!

So like an Alchemist class? Yes, that flies with me if you think you can make it work.

Still looking for a few more beastslayers.

I like the idea of an alchemist! Sure! :) And hoping more beastie-killers show soon!

Cool, I'll try to get OOC up by tonight.

-Weapon: Battleaxe
-Age & Gender: 28, Male
-Name/Alias: Byron Wellgrade
-Character Branch: Melee
-Personality: Energetic, collected, authoritative, personable.
-Bio: Byron has lived in the Southern region since the fall of the empire and is well-familiar with The Great Hunt, although this is his first year participating. Byron Wellgrade hails from the snowy prefecture of Maulhaut, several hundred miles away from Vrost. His father before him participated in the competition a total of four times throughout his life, so Byron feels he has quite a legacy to live up to. Although he is a novice to the guild competition, Byron has slaughtered several Furious on the outskirts of Vrost, but nothing will prepare him for The Great Hunt.
