Hunters

I’m actually not working on this project anymore, this is all Tak’s now; go bother him about not updating enough! Well, I’m still working as an editor for it, but I’m not writing it anymore. However, I still want to share the little bit that I had already written for it, which is about the real draw to the story: monster hunters!



On the fringes of society there have always existed those who feel the need for danger in their life, the thrill seekers who need to push themselves to the limit to feel truly fulfilled. Those people still exist in the modern world, but their thrills have gotten significantly more dangerous than skydiving or bungee jumping. These are the hunters.

A very insular group, they don’t like to talk to outsiders about their trade. What little is known is that they believe guns are dishonorable, and thus only go into combat with pre-gunpowder weaponry - blades and bows. They collect trophies from the monsters they kill. There is a high mortality rate in the first year of hunting, but after that they become almost impossible to kill, with rumors stating that some have killed dragons single handedly. When they need new supplies they generally harvest strange organs from monsters and sell them on the black market.
