Monster Hunter interest check

[azzmeister89]

i know this is really simple and short as i have not got all the details yet but would anyone be interested in a Monster Hunter freedom rp?

[Siereis]

I'd definitely be interested, though of course I'd like to know what more to expect out of this RP before I signed on.

[azzmeister89]

naturally, i'm reading up on the information on monster hunter portable third right now, seeing as japan have decided not to share the best looking mh game with the rest of the world playing against the monsters like i would with freedom unite wont be possible so monster hunter wiki is my current best friend, i should have the info up at some point in the next 24 hours

[Siereis]

Cool, looking forward to it!  As for myself, I know very little about MH..though I have seen a few anime adaptations of it so I sorta know the environment.  In any case glad to see you are looking for more info and I'll be be glad to see what you come up with.

[ShanaTheIV]

Why are there so many group rps that keep grabbing my attention? >//< Sign me up.

Would monster/incest rape be possible?

[azzmeister89]

well i wasn't planning on having sexual content as far as the monsters are involved but if enough people are into the idea of being butt fucked by a shakalaka then who am i to argue?

when it comes to the sexual content between the hunters then as long as all the hunters involved are ok with it then nothing is off limits

[ShanaTheIV]

I personally find monster on female hotter than male on female, but I'll take what I can get.

I know this also seems out of the ordinary, but any chance of futa as well?

[azzmeister89]

i'm going to risk sounding really stupid but in all honesty i don't actually know what futa means haha sorry

[ShanaTheIV]

It's short for futanari.  :P

I'll give you a hint:

Chicks + Dicks = ?

[azzmeister89]

ah "cocks in frocks" if that's what you want your character to be then i'm not going to stop you although your going to need to think of a good explanation of how that would be possible in the world of monster hunter.

[ShanaTheIV]

No problem. Shouldn't be too hard

[azzmeister89]

well if you can make it work then i see no problem

[ShanaTheIV]

There are quite a bit of MH futa art out there as well as a few duojins. I don't know about making my character one though. I was just curious in the matter.

[azzmeister89]

fair enough well as i said i just need to do research on all the new monsters they bought out for monster hunter portable 3rd unless people all want to use the freedom unite monster list in which case i can probably get ready to accept character sheets tomorrow

[SargentToughie]

I love the concept behind monster hunter, so I'll go ahead and tag myself as interested in this one too.

[Revenent]

A few questions/thoughts:

1. What sort of story would you be looking at for this? Would it just be completely sandbox-y and have the group just going out and killing monsters for the heck of it, or would there be some sort of overarching goal, like in Tri, when you were building up the supplies and skills needed to kill Lagiacrus?

2. You mentioned a monster list, but how would you feel about players at least occasionally designing monsters of their own and controlling them for the others to battle? Then Shana could even get her wish. :P

3. Group limit? I don't know how many people you're going to get, but how many do you want to limit a single hunting party to?

[azzmeister89]

Three very good questions.

1. There will not be an overall single goal although charcters are more then welcome to set themselves personal goals. Quests will be given through one thread named "the guild hall" and then there will be a thread posted for that individual quest or for all quests in that region.

2. If you wish to create your own monster you are welcome to post all information on it in an ooc thread and as long as at least two players are happy to take up the quest for it then you can use it.

3. Like in the games hunting parties will be limited to four players but there is room for at least three groups of hunters to go out at a time. Players can only take up a quest if the previous quest is compleated however.

For the most part i will control all monsters unless there are multiple quests in which one of the other players will act as co gm

[Revenent]

Seems reasonable. I do think some overarching goals might be good every once in a while, though, to keep things from getting same-y (unless we put a lot of effort into our interpersonal storylines). I'm also concerned about the four players to a party thing, especially if we get an awkward number of people, but I'm sure we can sort that out when and if it happens.

Another question: are sticking to just these weapon types, or can we create and have our own approved? (I might just go with the Lance or Heavy Bowgun even if we can make our own, though.)

Speaking of new weapon types...

[azzmeister89]

like in the games there will be special quests that are crucial for certain characters to advance, for example i plan to have my character have a deep hatred for the Teostra and Lunastra so when a quest to hunt the mated pair that took out his small mining village in the volcanic region comes up, he will be one of the four hunters there.

as far as weapons are concerned i will be using the weapons list from freedom 2 and unite as the idea of the switch axe seems pointless to me however if you have a weapon type you would like to use then post it in the ooc thread and if everyone approves then its all yours.

and lastly, if we do have an odd amount of characters then we can either say we don't have to have four hunters on each quest or if you really think we need to then some players may bring in a second character to even everything out.

also a few more things to add, i'll be using the benifits of the feline battle buddies from freedom 3 so as long as there are at least two hunters on a quest then they can have two felines, i'll be limiting everyone to have only one feline commrade throughout the whole game though. i'll also be trusting everyone to be responcible and not overpower there characters with weapons and armor they shouldn't have yet.

[Revenent]

So, when can we expect the character application, then?

[ShanaTheIV]

Yeah. I'm looking forward to develop my character <3

[azzmeister89]

I would love to say it will be ready today but work has me in a pickle so if not wednesday then most likely it wont be until monday

[Revenent]

I would love to say it will be ready today but work has me in a pickle so if not wednesday then most likely it wont be until monday

O.o That's a surprisingly large disparity. "Well, if we don't get it done next week, then, uhhh, 2014."

EDIT: Anyone have a problem with me making my character's main weapon a trident? Basically, it would be much like a lance, except much more effective in the water and not as effective on land. He/she could be sort of an underwater specialist.

[ShanaTheIV]

Why don't I make one for you? I have a lot more free time than desired so it should be too hard.

[azzmeister89]

Sure go ahead and the trident weapon is fine by me

[Genbu83]

You had me at Monster Hunter. It would be fun to play an rp in my favorite series.

[Revenent]

Name: Seiche

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Appearance/Description:

Seiche

Weapon of Choice: Double-Edged Trident

This weapon happens to be made of a lighter material than lances, making it similar to but less effective than them on land. However, its design allows for much easier movement through water and the points are crafted specifically for piercing through the hides of aquatic monsters, so its efficacy lies mostly in river- and sea-based hunts.

Personality: Pragmatic yet proud, Seiche understands that her skills are situational and that she will generally have to join hunting parties rather than go alone if she wants to really succeed, but her pride as a hunter keeps her from letting others ever really "take the lead" over her. If she thinks she can handle something herself during a hunt, she has a tendency to rush off on her own to take care of it, much to the annoyance of her group. Show her the "proper" respect, though, and she can actually be very helpful and even friendly.

Background: Not surprisingly, Seiche was raised with swimming as a prominent factor of her life. Born in a village that sat on the bank of one of the largest rivers in the continent, fish was easily her people's largest source of food, and river monsters their foremost predator. Anyone above the age of 14, boy or girl, was expected to pick up a harpoon and join the hunts to ensure that the village got enough food, though only the fully grown hunters were ever allowed to go out and fend off attacking monsters. For Seiche, who prided herself as being the best hunter in her age group, it was a huge source of frustration that she was never allowed to show off her skills by putting herself into situations that were actually dangerous. By the time she was 17, she decided she had had enough and left the village, getting a new weapon and heading to more densely populated areas.

For the couple years, she relished the opportunity to really show off by going out and hunting alone, but, being not as effective against the land monsters, she ended up having to abandon more marks than she was able to bring down. She got better over time, but she still could only kill water-based monsters with any reliability, and that wasn't enough to pay the bills (or at least it wasn't enough to get her the best gear and make her super rich). So began her new quest: find people who she could hunt with (preferably not as good as her) and start bringing in the gold. Only time will tell how her new ventures will turn out.

Sexual Preferences/Boundaries: All genders are welcome, along with certain kinks; some light S&M play or bondage, maybe some other stuff. No blood, scat, or the usual stuff that people put boundaries on.

[azzmeister89]

Great character, i look forwards to seeing how she interacts with others, i'll be back and posting my cs later today. And then i'll start setting up the various threads

[ShanaTheIV]

I'll post one today as well. Dibs on the Kirin armor.

[azzmeister89]

They wont have anything quite as advance as kirin armor at the start

[Revenent]

I'll post one today as well. Dibs on the Kirin armor.

You just want it because every female Monster Hunter character picture out there has Kirin armor. :P

[azzmeister89]

Name: Reynik

Age: 19

Gender: male

Appearance/Description:

Weapon of Choice: uses either greatswords or (providing everyone else is ok with this weapon type) his duel tonfa's

Personally: Calm and friendly, he is generally easy to get along with, however his personality drastically changes at even the mention of Teostra or Lunastra

Background: originally born in a small mining town out in the volcanic regions he lived the first few years of his life in peace with his parents and older sister who was already training to be a hunter. one day however two very rare sup species of the Teostra and Lunastra attacked and destroyed the village, killing everyone in it, except Reynik, thankfully his sister who had been visiting relatives in the next village over was also able to escape death. she later went on to become a great hunter and even now is famous throughout the land as the first hunter to kill both a Teostra and a Lunastra on the same hunt, however they were only the origional versions, both siblings still await news of the Black Emperor and white Empress of flames.

Sexual Preferences/Boundaries: is a pretty straight forward heterosexual guy so there are a few things he might try, if you ask him nicely ;)

[ShanaTheIV]

Name: Ashe

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Appearance

Weapon of Choice: Light bowgun

Personally: Ashe is somewhat of a loner. She is usually shy, bipolar and keep to herself, but also polite and even seemingly sweet. As a skilled huntress, she is a perfectionist and hates making mistakes, with is one of the reasons why she prefers to work alone. If curtain things are bothering her, or if her allies, or even herself starts doing unusually poor, she'll start criticizing, or even unintentionally rage. Ashe doesn't get angry too often, but when she does, she can hardly control it. A reason she is self conscious, afraid that she might offend others.

Background: Ashe was mostly raised in the wilderness throughout her childhood and mid-teens. Her parents, especially her father were strict in teaching her how to fight and fend for herself. Well she generally straggled over the years, she eventually caught on at the age of 14. She rarely teamed up with anyone other than her parents. She was taught that you can't afford to make too many mistakes during a battle, and teamwork could be more complex than rewarding. At the age of 16, when battling a certain monster, her father suffered a fatal blow when they were teaming up. Ashe managed to defeat it on her own, but her mother disowned her, saying that she failed to protect her father. This caused Ashe to generally train hard by herself, and sometimes avoided partnerships whenever possible. Though when she did, she would sometimes offend or scare off her allies with her hidden anger issues.     

Sexual Preferences/Boundaries: She has none at the moment do to being a virgin, but imagines to be bisexual with a slight interest in bestiality to a very specific extent.

[azzmeister89]

Bumping! Any more takers?

[SargentToughie]

Yeah... I'll make up a character real quick.

So, how much trouble would somebody like me have, since I've never played a monster hunter game before? I know the premise and I absolutely love it, but I've never actually played any of the games before.

[azzmeister89]

Playing the games would be a benifit but not essential, as long as you can react to the quest gm's in a realistic manner. If you do need refrences then i would advise you search out monster hunter wiki and go into the freedom unite game page for info on monsters and weapons

[SargentToughie]

Alright, simple enough. I know the games aren't renowned for their plotlines as much as they are their kick-ass setting and concept.

Expect something up from me later tonight.

[ShanaTheIV]

In your opinion, do you think Ashe needs a little more sex appeal, or is she fine the way she is?  :P

[SargentToughie]

She's fine.

That name is going to screw with me though.

[Revenent]

What you need to know about Monster Hunter:

-Dinosaur/dragon monsters.
-Hunting for food, foraging/mining for materials to craft awesome gear. (Also using scales/claws/bones/etc. from fallen monsters to craft stuff.)
-Big, gorgeous hunting grounds.
-Spending twenty or thirty minutes tracking the big monster from area to area on the map as you try to whittle down its insane amount of health.
-Little cat people.

I think that covers it. Absurdly oversized yet realistically (to an extent) heavy weapons as well.

In your opinion, do you think Ashe needs a little more sex appeal, or is she fine the way she is?  :P

She's cute, so I think you're good.

[azzmeister89]

bumping! do we have anyone else who wants in?

[Ravenhawk]

Looking at the posts, I'm assuming this is NOT based on Larry Correia's Monster Hunter series of novels?

[azzmeister89]

i'm afraid not, this is based on the game by capcom

[SargentToughie]

Name: Cairus Kainsweld

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Appearance/Description:

appearance

Weapon of Choice: Longsword

Personally: Cairus tends to be a rather proud hunter, often taking things a tad more seriously then they need to be even when he's not out in the field. Due to his pride, he doesn't take well to people trying to 1-up him, and it can make him rather competitive as a direct result, as he tries to step forward and demonstrate that his abilities are to be respected. Due to this competitive nature and his desire to be validated in the eyes of his peers, other personalities that feed off of pride tend to clash with him and create a chain reaction of bad decisions. To friends, though, he is a very honest and dedicated hunter who's willing to put his best foot forward in every assignment given, though he secretly yearns to scale the ladder quickly and slay the strongest monsters for the sake of his own personal validation.

Background: Cairus was raised as the smallest and the weakest of the three brothers in his household, and since his family lineage hails from a long line of legendary hunters, it was only natural that every single brother would try their hardest to follow in their ancestor's footsteps (as well as those of their father) and try to be the next biggest hunter. The problem for Cairus was that there was a solid 4 year gap between him and his second oldest brother, and it was borderline impossible for him to actually keep up with his other two brothers as their abilities developed and the three of them grew older. During this time, where he struggled desperately for the acceptance and approval of his family, he swore that one day he would overcome them all, he swore that he would show them just how strong he really was. Childish as it may be, Cairus still goes out into every hunt to this day wondering if this will be the day that he gains the approval of his brothers and his father.

He doesn't like working in groups out of fear that having allies will somehow take away from the glory to be gained from a hunt, but he came to the understanding that some monsters simply can't be hunted alone, so he went out looking for a group to hunt with together. He knows that his thoughts on the matter are childish and silly, and he'll mask them the best he can, but it still bugs him, sitting at the back of his mind almost constantly while he's out fighting.

Sexual Preferences/Boundaries: Straight male with a bit of a dominant streak hidden under the surface, nothing all that new here.

[SargentToughie]

*nudges*

Yo Azzmeister, any word on the approval of my character and/or the threads coming up?

[azzmeister89]

hello, yes all characters are approved, i'm waiting for there to be a few more characters interested before i set things up, just one or two more should be enough to start

[SargentToughie]

You'd think that 4 would be enough, since it's a pretty comfortable number to just have 1 hunting party at all times.

[azzmeister89]

i guess so, we can always add more hunters into the game later, ok expect the ooc and village thread up in the next hour or so

[SargentToughie]

Persuasion: Successful!

Gained 3 skill points.

[azzmeister89]

erm.............. hacking detected, denied, do not pass go, do not collect $200 go straight to jail -cue evil laugh- bwahahahahahahahahahaha!...... ha!

[ShanaTheIV]

I'm thinking about switching to a heavy bowgun just because it seems more badass and would make room for a few high jax.  :P

[Revenent]

Yeah, having one or two more players would literally just mean one or two people would have to stick around in town on their own while the others went hunting, unless they went on solo/small group hunts. I think having a small group could make the interactions deeper and more interesting.

I'm thinking about switching to a heavy bowgun just because it seems more badass and would make room for a few high jax.  :P

Definitely. We need more giant weapons around here. Plus, I'm not sure if you meant "hijinks" or "highjacks" there, but both sound fun.

[azzmeister89]

ok here is the OOC thread https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=158430.0

[Genbu83]

So I take it no more room for a gunlancer, given the 4 hunter groups.

[azzmeister89]

no by all means, bring more characters into the story, we don't always need to have four hunters on every quest and sometimes characters may just want to relax in the village so by all means join in

[ShanaTheIV]

Azz had already started the game if you haven't notice so now would be a good time to get one approved anyway.

[azzmeister89]

i was hoping we could make this a game where new characters can be introduced at any point so if you want to join up just post up a character in here or the OOC thread

[Genbu83]

Arden Gunnerson

appearance

http://huntinggrounds.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/dlw08.jpg?w=640

Prefered Weapon:Gunlance, Lance, Sword and Shield, is capable of using a Heavy Bowgun

Personality:Rather Stoic and reserved. Arden is not the boisterous sort. Instead he displays the quiet and unrelenting confidence that a mountain has when facing a typhoon. As a hunter he is a tactically minded fellow and those the use of a gunlance is rather naturally,

Background: The sun of a fairly skilled gunner, Arden learned most of his tactics from his mother. However, Gunning is not quite up to his tastes, though his has the intelligence for it. engaing the beasts one on one with shield and lance is what calls to him. A well timed step, the perfect block, a stab, and wyvern fire. Using the Gunlance as an extension of his body to become a master hunter is what he pursues. Given his tactical mindset, he is a talented team player, often placing his shield between the wyvern and his companions.

Sexual Preference:Straight
