In Hunting Beasts and Nightmares

Alto sprinted through the fog, having just left the town boundary. Considering how late he was, the others were probably at the ravine by now, which normally would've been a two or three hour trip, but Alto was sprinting. Even with his Zweihanders he could sprint fast, much faster than normal hunters, and he could keep it up for a lot longer too.

The temperature dropped suddenly as he ran by a few dead bodies, probably remnants of a battle. The fog was thin enough so that he could identify them, there was one human body pretty badly torn up and a few beast bodies he didn't bother peering at too closely. But his experience as a hunter did tell him something was off.

He felt like there were too little bodies. The beast was weak looking, meaning they probably fought in a large-ish group. The hunting party today was reasonably large, and the ratio of those beasts to one person looked like 3:1 considering the old man.

It doesn't matter, I can't be late, He thought dismissively, I'm the heavy after all.

As a a rule of thumb, almost all hunters wore light armor, used light weapons and were generally light on their feet. But he was capable of using heavy weapons without compromising speed as much as it probably should have so he had the unique advantage of basically being able to go toe to toe with a beast. Although, considering his weapons, it would be toe to toe with one beast, and one beast only at any given time.

I'll need to arrive in... 10 minutes, He thought, I need to pick up the pace.

He sped up his sprint, going even faster than before. The hunters were probably fighting already, he wanted to be there to finish off the thing the mayor said was there. It's not like he didn't think they could handle it, the Half-Demon Akemi was there so he wasn't worried. He kind of just wanted to make a good impression on the new hunters.

I wonder what this beast even is, He thought.

"Oh shit, I'm late!" Alto shouted. Today he was supposed to be out hunting with a group of new arrivals, but he'd totally forgotten. He'd actually been sleeping, but since Iredele was always night-time he had lost track of what time it was, but he could tell from the moon outside his window that he was definitely late.

"Shit, crap, fuck..." He tripped over himself a few times before finally making it to his wardrobe. He quickly pulled on his hunter clothes; his fancy trousers, vest and even a little tie thingy before hurriedly tugging on his shoes.

"Why didn't anyone wake me up?" He said, running over to the window.

He flung open the shutters, breaking some of the glass in the process, and grabbed one of his Zweihanders which were resting on the wall next to the window. He was on the second floor of the Inn of Four Winds, and his room directly faced the town fall. He leaned out of the window and he also pulled the Zweihander outside with him. He mentally aimed where he wanted it to go, and he threw it as hard as he could, sending it full storey above the inn. He quickly pulled his other Zweihander from inside the window and flung it as well, but not as high.

Without missing a beat, he took a step on the window sill and leaped out onto the tree in front of his window. Using its outer-most branches as stepping stones, he quickly leaped up through the tree and into the air. His Zweihanders arced through the air, the second one falling slower but starting lower, and at the point where the two equalized, Alto was there. He caught them in midair, but the weight caused him to suddenly drop and he hit the ground hard.

"Fuck!" He could feel the impact going through his legs, but he was still fine. Somehow he managed to keep his grip on his Zweihanders. "Can't waste any more time!"

Hefting his Zweihanders onto his shoulders, he bounded off in the direction of the town's boundaries, and the hunting group he was supposed to be in for that day.

Assume that you're out hunting too and that the mayor gave you the same mission. He probably didn't trust the newbies to come back alive.

@TheWindel

So, for clarity that's the cool deadly mission right? I'll just say he was behind due to reasons and then he finally caught up.

I have to do some shopping before I post though, I'll be back

Most of the characters are out on a cool deadly mission, while two hunters are in the town, one in the tavern and the other in the church, you start from there so you should see Ash's character talking to Rotten bone.

@Spriggs27

Well, my character was supposed to be a hunter since before all this started, and I was going to have him be out on a hunt while the events thus far have taken place. Who gives the missions here?

In Hunting Beasts and Nightmares

Could someone tell me what's happening right now?

In Hunting Beasts and Nightmares

Name: Alto Ganze
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Appearance: Alto is average height for his age, but he is muscular under his clothes. His outfit is sort of similar to a butler's outfit except he has a vest instead of the jacket thing. You would think it would inconvenience him but it's been specially made as to not impede his movements.

Magic: Alto’s magic is a sort of special kind of blood magic. Its effects are entirely passive, but the cost remains. His blood magic boosts his physical capabilities far beyond normal human limits, allowing him to jump extreme distances and do flips and stuff even while carrying heavy weights. However, once every three days the blood magic deactivates and he experiences large amounts of muscle pains for the whole day.

Weapons: Two Zweihanders and a missing Zweihander

Personality: He acts a lot younger than he really is. Part of the reason is his superhuman physical ability and the other would be his mental state. The whole world sort of feels like a dream to him, and he doesn’t see it as entirely real. But in saying that, he can become quite mature at times, although when he does it’s rather strange.

The best way to describe it would be that he wants to be a purist, pure strength that is. He wants to be physically strong enough to solve all of the world’s problems, but he’s realistic and he knows the limits of strength, and in doing so he discovered his only real fear. That one day he’ll find his limits, and he’ll find something he can’t possibly beat.

Bio: As with everyone else, he has no memory of the modern world or his life before he was in Iredele, except for a few moments before he lost consciousness in a hospital room. He’d been rushed in from nearby, he’d been shot multiple times, and he was holding something extremely heavy.

Next thing he knew, he woke up in a church clutching something that wasn’t there, and there was an old man in front of him. He got used to hunting pretty fast and there wasn’t anything to say about his career until a little bit later, when he lost his first Zweihander.
He was fighting a tough beast and to finish it off, he stabbed his Zweihander right into its chest. But he turned around and then turned back, and then it stabbed him and flew off into the sunset with his sword still in it. He’s still looking for that beast, mainly because he wants his Zweihander back, although if you ask him he’ll just say he has nothing better to do.
He picked up another two Zweihanders after the incident and started trying to dual wield Zweihanders.

Other: He’s actually unaware that he’s using magic, so he thinks that his enhanced abilities and muscle pain every three days is just something weird that he has.

Oh, you're still here?

But you can have one on the other side. Why Bring it from Earth?

@KoL

Sentimental value

In Hunting Beasts and Nightmares

<Snipped quote by RoflsMazoy>

Yeah, we're still open. We're not even near the supposed character cap, so you can come in any time.

No, you can't bring anything other than your clothes, but depending on circumstances and what item you are talking about there could be a chance. Just ask Windel about this. IMO, I think that it would be ok as long as it was something with sentimental value, as long as it's not something to modern(ex: a cellphone), or any kind of weapon. But it's better to rely on his judgement.

@KoL

I wanted to bring a Zweihander

If it helps, it does have a lot of sentimental value

In Hunting Beasts and Nightmares

Hello there, is this still open? I've been away from RPing for a while and I wanted to get back into it. I have a good idea for a character.

Oh, also, are we able to carry anything from the modern world to Iredele?
