There are lots of details on a google doc that can be found below. And as of posting this interest check the document is still a WIP


Welcome!


This here is an RP about monster hunter. If you haven’t heard or played of monster hunter don’t worry. Just think of this as and RP about… Hunting monsters… Or playing them if you want. While I do recommend doing a little research if you have no idea what’s going on. I am also here to help and am happy to answer any questions (I can yammer on about monster hunter all day). At this point I’d like to lay out my rules.

1. Be civil, if you can’t do that then I’ll have to ask you to leave.
2. This is my interpretation of the monsters and how strong they are, but if you disagree then feel free to discuss it with me.
3. Regular posting is prefered. Once every two weeks is the requirement. If you’re unable to meet the deadline please tell me, life comes first. And if you are just struggling to come up with something to write just talk to me and we can sort it out.
4. If your characters are going to do something frisky then take it to the DMs.
5. You are limited to 2 characters in the hunter faction and 1 in the monster faction. If you get bored of the monster you are currently playing, then tell and you can drop that monsters and switch to a different one.

For the hunters.


Welcome to the jungle island of, well it doesn’t have a name yet actually. You’re some of the first feet here, and it’s your job to set up the first bits of civilization on this island. You and whatever ragtag team of people you got paired with are all you’ve got here, so you better be ready to work together, or else you might not be making it off the island. Though you’ve been given a map of the island by the guild, while it’s very rough considering it was taken from the safety of a hot air balloon it’s still got enough information to help you start out.

As for where you decide to set up your village, that’ll dictate what kind of problems you’ll have to deal with along with what resources are locally available, how much of said resources are available and the rarity of said materials. Here’s a map and little table to help you out. Also keep in mind this story is supposed to mostly be forged by you guys. I’m just here to provide obstacles and control NPCs. The island does have secrets, like massive boss monsters and things like that. But looking for those early on is obviously not a good idea.

Also don’t feel like your character has to be a fully fledged hunter, you could be a simple fisherman who’s forced to pick up a weapon to survive in these new lands. And maybe you eventually become an exceptional aquatic hunter, punching Lagiacrus in the face and what not.

Another thing to note for hunters is how quests will work. As you’re all settlers here, there isn’t that much money going around. And there is no guild presence, so gold itself is not of huge value. That being said you are still paid and need to pay for different things. Equipment upgrades and construction is something that costs money, but things like kitchen meals and items from the item stockpile are not. Though if you do something like set up a dock to import goods, then money would become much more prevalent.

Monster domestication will also be a feature, within reason of course. Things like Aptanot, Larinoth and perhaps some of the smarter creatures would be tameable. Though savage brutes like Deviljho have no chance of being domesticated. Also keep in mind that domesticated monster players are not off the table.

And finally races. Take your pick! Wyverian, Troverian, Sea Person or Human. Just keep in mind the culture of the race you pick, Wyverians are uncommon in the Hunting profession as are Troverians that leave the village of Harth.

For the monsters.


But if being a humanoid isn’t your style then why not play as a monster? There isn’t really much to say about what you do, it’s pretty obvious. Though keep in mind that when you play as a monster you are not in a safe place. Your character can die very easily, and you need to remember that when a Deviljho decides you’re it’s next meal. Also be wary of getting domesticated by hunter players, it is a possibility. Though if you don’t want to be tamed than just say so. That being said I don’t want to see people playing monsters and just walking into the hunters hands for free resources or tames. If I see anything like that then I’ll be taking your monster as if you’d been killed.
Finally as a monsters you’ll have to work you way up, I won’t be just letting you drop in as a Black Gravios and beat the life from things. You’ve got to start small and work your way up. Starting from D tier and below, and as you survive as these creatures you get to go the next rank up. Though monsters in A tier and up are locked, so that there is always a monster out there to threaten you that isn’t a boss/mini boss of that area. Though you will be able to play above A tiers on occasion when you’ve been sitting comfortably in B tier for a while. Though these occasions will be limited to a singular fight, be it with hunters or other monsters.


Diana was a little shocked when the tiny woman pulled her into a hug, though that shock quickly turned to annoyance as Diana could feel how tight Bisque was holding on. She tried to escape the hug a little but didn't feel she was getting anywhere. She submitted to being held there for a time, though her temper was quickly getting the better of her. She look in Yoki's direction her foul mood steadily growing worse. "I've noticed."

Diana was surprised such a horrible combination of traits had mixed themselves into one person. Bisque had no idea of personal space, and was a long hugger. Diana's escape attempts became a little more forceful now, slowly prying Bisque off her. But while she was doing this Bisque managed to strike a nerve. I can't help it she looks like she could use a little love in her life! It was at that point that Diana simply shoved Bisque off her person, her hair lighting up faintly. She Looked Bisque right in the eyes. "That is quite enough! You would do well to learn what boundaries are! Unless you would like me to demonstrate what earned me the 'specialist' title!" Diana then stormed onto the aircraft and took a seat.
Hogan lay in the back of the van, net even responding to Arthur's hello. That was mostly due to the fact that Hogan had fallen asleep while Arthur was conducting his research. Though when the man started talking on the phone the crocodile's slumber was interrupted. Hogan was slightly annoyed about getting woken up but he knew that the starting of the van was going to wake him up anyway. Speaking of he hoped that wherever they were headed wasn't far, he wasn't sure how much movement his stomach would be able to take. Hogan was also starting to feel how tight the back of the van was. He hoped that he'd be able to get out soon, maybe wander around in a park or swim in a lake. While he did appreciate the ability to move places quickly while not having to do anything, his body was very much against the idea.
Probably still needs some touch ups.




Aya wasn't impressed by Mori's insult and simply rolled her eyes in response. The wolf kid then kicked up some dust obscuring himself from Aya's view, she hissed a little and took a step back, this was a dangerous situation. Giving Aya little time to react Mori burst from the dust cloud, his claws poised to strike and her chest. But this kind of foolhardy rush-down strategy was exactly what Aya was expecting, so instead of shocked expression Aya wore a smug grin. "As expected of a brute like you, rushing forward without a second thought. Like a moth to a flame."

Aya wasn't fast enough to dodge backwards out of Mori's reach but that wasn't her plan, instead she would tackle into him and get her quirk going. Doing so would mean she would only get hit with Mori's arm at worst, getting in too close for the extended arms savage looking claws. "I am very different to my compatriot Lord Zion. I am suited to taking down meat heads like yourself." Aya would then put her plan into action, throwing herself into Mori hoping that his fur wouldn't make his skin too hard to touch.


Aya didn't take her eyes of the laser fingered boy as she responded to the flame villain. "Just make sure she don't bother us anymore! Gag her or something I don't know, just make sure she can't become a problem again!" Aya was a little annoyed now, her arm was in a huge amount of pain and she still had to deal with this laser kid, who she honestly couldn't think of a way to approach safely. It was a conundrum, he could easily cover all angles and thwart any of her attempts to get close to him, he had the stopping power to flatten her easily. That's it! He could stop her no problem but Zion? She doubted the boys attacks would keep the Lion lord at bay for very long. And it also seemed that Zion was sustaining some damage from his fight with the wolf boy Mori.

Aya got into position ready to sprint, she just hoped this would turn out ok. "Zion! Switch!" Aya called out gesturing towards the laser fingered boy. Aya felt she'd be able to stop the Wolf boy with her quirk, but her problem was getting her hands on him. Mori had proven his agility and power already, and Aya couldn't contest with either attributes, but Mori would need to get close to land an attack on her and being a melee combatant means Aya could potentially land a grab on him. Though this plan revolved around Zion getting her signal and the Wolf boy coming at her over Zion, which left a pretty large margin for error. But she preferred that over rushing a boy with 10 high power laser fingers.


Aya maintained her footing while managing to carry the weight Chi fairly easily. The girl was speaking, great. And she was assuming that Aya was just going to kill her if only she knew how dangerous of a position she was in. "I assure you that if I wanted you dead then you'd be so already. But I'm not here to end you, I'm here to educate you. You don't understand that the system you seek to serve is hideously flawed. Turning those who do good deds into under the guise of a hero into super stars, while those who don't choose to be heroes are chained for trying to be one." Aya then looked over at Zion watching him barreling up the hill towards the laser fingered boy. Now was her chance to incapacitate the girl.

"I'm sorry for this." Aya said softly before using her quirk to constrict Chi's neck muscles as if she were being held in a sleeper hold. "Take a long hard think about the system you serve." With those words out of the way she get the pressure on until Chi was out cold, slowly lowering the body to the ground. She then waved down at the fire hurling villain, signaling him to come and grab the girl. "You can help by getting her out of the way! I'll help Zion!"

That being said Aya took a moment to look at her dislocated arm and assess it. She fished around in her medical bag and pulled out a small rubber coated cylinder and placed it into her mouth biting down on it lightly. She then started to relocate her shoulder, gently shifting her shoulder around before slamming it into place. She bit down on the cylinder hard, letting out an agonized cry. Aya stood there for a few moments, taking deep breaths to help regain her composure. Sliding the cylinder back into her medical bag she let out another brief hiss of pain before heading off towards Zion, who was now entangled with both the wolf boy and the laser boy.


Aya glanced back at the shielder watching him fall back as the boy continued shooting lasers at him. Aya clicked her tongue as she quickly refocused on the girl, who unfortunately was already aiming an attack. Aya was so close now but making the attack impossible to fully avoid if she wanted to catch the girl right away. So Aya charged at Chi, the torrent of water slamming into her right shoulder dislocating it. This water user was no joke, but Aya was now finally in range. She threw her left hand out hissing at the extraordinary pain she was feeling.

She would grab at the girls lower jaw, aiming to both get the skin contact she needed and divert her mouth. Aya was not keen on taking another one of those water blasts. And if her grab proved successful she would quickly take control of Chi's muscles, forcing her body to calm down and go limp.
A Cordial Conversation
Collab with @yoshua171 and @LemonZest1337.



Even from the bathroom Silvia was able to hear the hungry reporters still scrabbling for any bit of information that the PRT or Protectorate would provide. And it seemed that it wasn’t too much info given how long the noise persisted. Like a frightened cat Silvia krept out of the bathroom cubicle and peaked her head out of the bathroom. Seeing no immediate people she’d need to worry about she let out a brief sigh and walked out of the bathroom.

Silvia slowly made her way outside, and while there were still reporters looming around they were mostly packing up and headed out, their thirst for the next big scoop seemingly sated for now. Silvia then thought about what she would do for the rest of the day, and was honestly stumped. Rug had been fed and was mostly too lazy to walk despite being so young.

She decided to take to the air, crouching down before launching herself skyward, her wings powering her flight. It was always peaceful up in the sky, just birds and the occasional aircraft. Though this time she saw a massive alien squid monster. Knowing it was Outsider Silvia couldn’t help but be curious as to what he was doing.

Being the socially awkward dragon she was she couldn’t just fly down and ask him what he was doing, oh no she’d just have to follow him. Yes that was the logical way to deal with her curiosity.

Outsider on the other hand followed the ambulance taking G4M3R to the hospital. When it arrived he shifted back to his human form and helped check the man in. Once things were taken care of--which unfortunately coincided with his emotions fading back to their natural state--he exited the building, still in costume.

He took stock of the time he had left in the day since the main event on his mental itinerary had been effectively canceled. It turned out there wasn’t much else to be done. So he took a walk and eventually found himself in a less suburban park, where he took a seat on a bench and relaxed a bit. He found that he was feeling a bit tired and so rather than go home or walk more he just let his mind wander.

Silvia’s creeping seemed to go unnoticed by Outsider, Silvia was pleased by this. She had no idea how she would explain her decision to follow him around. She couldn’t place her finger on why she was so eager to follow him either, the two had hardly spoken. Silvia did recognise that Outsider was indeed good looking, but Silvia wasn’t enthralled by looks alone. Perhaps it was his abilities that were interesting? How he used them? Why he used them? Good heavens Silvia had so many questions for him now.

Snapping back to reality Silvia focused in on the now stationary Outsider. He looked like his head was closer to the clouds than Silvia’s, perhaps he was more distressed by the events with the rockers than he was letting on. Silvia had to talk to him now. But not to figure out things about him, now it was to check if he was alright.

Slowly descending Silvia made her way towards Outsider, avoiding trees and civilians. She landed on the grass behind Outsider, and for once her landing didn’t make a jarring clang. ”H-hello again!”

The corner of his lips twitching down, Outsider turned his head, caught a glimpse of something metallic and vaguely person shaped, before he turned further to get a better look at her. His eyebrows raised slightly, then he turned away, “Hey there Sylph,” he responded, his voice only several shades away from monotone. He sounded disinterested, but not in any personal way. Just like he’d acknowledged her and there was little else to say.

“What brings you here?” He asked, but there was no emotion in it. No curiosity, though the question implied such.

Silvia circled the bench and took a seat next to Outsider, shifting her tail so it would rest in a semi comfortable position while making sure her wings didn’t bump into him. ”I was just wondering how you were doing. I-uhh saw you sitting here looking a little distant. Wanted to check in on you.” She was careful not to let any info out that might make it obvious she’d followed him. Admittedly even leaving out the full truth made her stomach churn a little.

Glancing at her from the corner of his vision, he shrugged faintly and turned his gaze forwards again. As he stared into the trees of the quiet park he spoke, “I’m alright. I guess I’m...” he paused a moment, assessing the far away echoes of his feelings, “...a little weird about the other Minutemen. Or well...I guess they’re not Minutemen anymore.” His lips turned down slightly and there was the briefest moment of tension before he let out a sigh.

“I guess the Minutemen are done, actually. Can’t be a team on your own after all.” The words rang of sadness, but his tone sounded bored, disinterested even.

Silvia’s face dropped as Outsider spoke. Slowly her hand drifted onto Outsider’s shoulder leaving a soft chill on the area of contact. “I-I’m sorry to hear that… Being alone is never good…” Retracting her hand she shifted on the bench awkwardly. ”Maybe sometime in the future we could make a team together. Heh…” Silvia actually hoped she’d be able to at the very least work with Outsider every now and then, or that he got some other people to form a team with. She didn’t want to see Outsider sadden due to being alone, though at the moment he seemed to be handling it in some capacity. Acting detached might be his coping mechanism…

While most might tense at the strange effect of contact with Silvia, Jake didn’t seem to notice. He let her say her piece, but as she trailed off he remained silent for a time. His attention seemed set on the swaying of trees in the wind, and the faint echoes of conversation carried to them from afar as people went about their days. They got some looks, but the park was empty enough that they weren’t drawing too much attention.

Straightening, Outsider got up from the bench. Looking back down at Sylph he forced the slightest of smiles onto his lips. It was faint and it only just touched his eyes, but it was better than nothing...not that she’d know. “Perhaps we can someday. For now it looks like I’m flying solo and you’re with the Protectorate.” He turned his eyes away, but before he left something occurred to him. How would she contact him if she wanted to discuss a team?

He looked back to her, “If you want to talk or meet up again, you can contact me on PHO, my user handle is Outsider.” He paused a moment, considering that there might be a handful of people with similar usernames, “Ah...my account is verified, so you’ll be able to tell which one is me.”

Silvia watched Outsider stand and smiled up at him as he didn’t seem against the idea of them working together. But he made the point that he was running solo and that Silvia was with the protectorate, but that wouldn’t get in the way of them being a team would it? And if it did they could at the very least be temporary partners right? Something to ask Inkscape or someone else high up later.

Silvia held in a sigh when Outsider brought up the PHO, she’d tried her best to avoid it. So many people so many words… Well at least she had a good reason for using it now. ”I’m called Steel Tempest…” Silvia rubbed her shoulder. ”I thought it sounded cool…” Silvia then stood up, stretching out her wings briefly. ”I do hope we end up working together. Flying solo can get lonely.”

He felt the echo of a laugh in his mind, but the emotion never built in his stomach, never overflowed, and so was never heard. Instead his lips quirked up faintly and a brief glimmer passed through his eyes. “I don’t let it bother me,” he said in response. He liked the username she’d chosen as well, but he wasn’t sure how important that was. “I like the name by the way. Good choice, I’d say,” he shrugged a bit and took a few steps forwards and away from her.

“Well...keep in touch. I’ve got some civvy business to take care of,” he forced a small smile onto his lips, then gave her a short two-finger salute, before his body became a blur of light before vanishing. In less than a second the air distorted and then pushed out in a gentle breeze as his Second Vessel appeared.

His hollow voice echoed out, even as emotion surged through him in a reassuring wave of sensation. “It was nice talking to you,” he commented, and this time it sounded genuine, like she’d heard him earlier. Turning from her, he began swimming through the air, accelerating rapidly into the air...and then into the distance. He would perhaps head to a secluded spot, just big enough for his form. Then transform and change out of sight.



Aya skidded to a halt behind the shield barer as the massive flame blast flew over their heads. But this impressive attack was negated but a torrent of water fired from another one of the heroes in training. And from what was being said it seemed like this newcomer wasn't supposed to be there, but Aya didn't let this lower her guard, there was always the possibility of a trap. But the biggest problem was her defender was now immobile, so she was now going to have to rush down two people with projectile base quirks. This was not ideal at all.

"Don't fret. You stay here, I'll check your wounds after I down these two. Just hold tight." Aya's voice was filled with fake confidence. She then left the cover of the shield armed man and ran towards the small water breathing girl. Aya was hoping she'd be able to use the girl as a bargaining chip to get the laser user to surrender. He seemed fragile enough for such a strategy to work, and if need be Aya would just have to avoid getting burnt and immobilise them both.

Putting her plan into action she sprinted from behind the shielder and headed straight for this "Chi" girl, hoping that she'd be caught of guard. But Aya was also keeping an eye out for the laser boy, in case he fired shots at her. Though dodging the lasers was going to be more based on luck than skill for Aya.
