Hunter Yagami

Hunter was inside the Treehouse, asleep until he heard the noise of someone climbing the ladder. Seemed that someone was either looking for a place to stay that was safe from the normal beasties, or someone looking to kill. Hunter decided not to flat out attack as he reached for his Axe to his left, he was laying so that he was sitting upright and facing the entrance. It was dark and the moon had him in a perfect shadow. That was when he heard the soft voice of a female call out towards him, not knowing he was there. He even though of attacking at first, his first few weeks being stuck in Aincrad had not shown him kindness. Instead Hunter took his hand away from his Axe as he smiled a bit, hoping that this was a change.

"Hello there, come on in."

Was all that Hunter could reply at the time with a soft and soothing voice. He waited to see what would happen next would decide his attitude to the newcomer.

DEATH TO ALL BUT METAL

In all seriousness. I love metal, all forms of it. Even this new wave of post-Hardcore bullsh** that has taken over most airwaves. I was raised on Metallica, Def Leopard, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Pantera, Megadeath, even Anvil.

A few bands now that I like though

-Five Finger Death Punch

-Pantera

-Ozzy

-Disturbed

-Steel Panther

-TENACIOUS D (NEVER say a word about the D)

-Anthrax

-Slayer

-Atreyu

-Avenged Sevenfold

-Bullet for My Valentine

-Coheed and Cambria

-The Darkness

-A Day to Remember

-DETHKLOK

-Device

-Godsmack

-Halestorm

-Iron Savior

-Judas Priest

And many more. Now don't get me wrong, I am a roadie, I work for any musician, anywhere, anytime...but I am PAID to do that. I will work Metal fo' free.

GODS OF METAL UNITE!!!!

Hunter did not even sit up, he was still exhausted so he just merely stuck an arm up and caught the bread that was thrown to him. He knew the sound of the man's voice. It was Mono, and that made Hunter smile, it seemed like he was making a few friends after all in this world. Hunter ate the bread happily and then heard Mono speak.

"Well all was well, didn't notice the monsters, seems as though I am lucky Mahko was here. He and I already took care of some Boars, snakes, and [censored]."

Hunter would say then laugh as he would finally sit up and finished his bread. He sighed with satisfaction and finally stood up and stretched.

"Hey guys I am gonna take a small break and take a rest. Been a long night, I believe its time for the Second Floor. Thanks Mono for the bread, and thanks Mahko for allowing me to get some snake skin."

With having said that Hunter would walk beside the nearest house as there was a loud *THUD* and then snoring.

My Little Pony

*looks around shifty eyed*

Hunter awoke at day break, just barely hanging onto the tree. Below him was the Old Man, and he was training. It seemed as if the Old Man knew some sort of Martial Arts Skill...but Hunter had not seen it on his list, so he hopped down beside the Old Man who moved like water and took Hunter down without missing a beat.

"Always be aware of your surroundings young'n...never know who...or what is lurking about. Now get back to work."

The Old Man commanded, as if scripted. Hunter began to wonder if the man was even real, perhaps an A.I. NPC, but who new at the moment. Hunter sighed and stood up, ready to get back to work.

Night came too soon for Hunter... there was also nowhere for him to go except for the nearest tree to climb. Hunter sighed and climbed a damn tree so he could get rest even though everything in his head told him to keep working towards his goal. He was happy though at least...there was no time limit on the quest, and at his level, he could use the extra skills. He soon slipped into a sleep as he was just bidding his time till daybreak.

Man hours passed and more and more Hunter was becoming tired as he tried to move the boulder. He was beginning to get pissed as he eventually took the branch he had to use as a wedge and he swung it against the rock in anger. He did not let out a cry of anger, but he instead threw the broken branch. He had to really fight back the urge to want and equip his Axe, but the Old Man told him earlier it would be no use so instead Hunter just went back to trying to push the boulder out of the way.

[OOC]

Hunter would look at Mac ready to strike again in case the Dragon was not bested. He prepared to swing down on it as he would notice it being extremely weakened.

However if Mac's attack had dispatched the dragon he would wait to see what they would do with the loot as a message would pop up either way.

"Well I'll be damned...I feel a bit stronger already"

Hunter said as he laughed yet remained at the ready.

Hunter blocked the Dragons Wing swipe with ease. He jumped back to the wall and used >>Rend<< once more try and hit the dragon using the same swiping pattern as the last attack.

"Yo Mac, I am to the right of the Dragon, attack it up front and kill it if I can't this bastard needs to eat dirt."

Hunter would yell as he would let loose his attack. He roared in anger as he knew a well placed attack would critical the Dragon and kill it.

Dragon Health: 4/8

Hunter Health: 11/11

Mob counterattack[1]

Attack miss[2-5]

Attack hit[6-8]

Critical strike[9-10]

Hunter missed again. He was starting to get frustrated and angry. He watched as the Dragon took advantage of Hunter's missed attack and decided to swipe at him with his wing. Hunter prepared to block or even better...to counter it if he needed too.

Though if everything happened to make him miss, he would take the damage from the wing and stand back up to brush himself off, ready for more.

Damage goes in [1-5](Parry makes it: 1-4)

Blocks attack [6-9](Parry makes it: 5-8)

Counterattack [10](Parry makes it: 9-10)

Hunter began by going to the side of the boulder and beginning to push. He tried and tried with his full might, straining against the weight of the rock before finally slumping down against the boulder.

"[censored]...this is almost impossible...but I need to keep trying, besides... The added skill would be worth the trouble."

Hunter said as he unequipped everything that would hinder his movement. He then began to look around for something that he might be able to wedge underneath the boulder to help and push it out of the way.

Hunter watched as Mac would attempt to strike out at the Dragon. He saw Mac miss both of his attacks and was open for a counter attack against him.

"[censored]...SWITCH OUT!"

Hunter would yell as he attempted to use >>Rend<< once more to try and defeat the beast if he was able to hit perfectly the two strikes would certainly take the beast out. Hunter watched as his blade glowed a bright green before Hunter spun to his left then swung from his left shoulder to his right hip at the Dragon's neck. The second swing would come straight up from his right up to his shoulder.

Mob counterattack[1]

Attack miss[2-5]

Attack damage[6-8]

Critical strike[9-10]

As Hunter and the Old Man arrived to their destination...A giant boulder securing the entrance to a cave.

Hunter looked to the old man suspiciously as he almost got his Axe ready just in case he needed to strike down the Old Man...he hoped he would not have to.

"You can put away your Axe...It is of no use to you here."

The Old Man said as he beckoned Hunter to come closer.

"I need you to move this boulder...with just your hands, break it, move it, I do not care. Weapons have no effect on the boulder. It is the doorway to my home after all. I you manage to move or break the boulder...I will teach you a valuable skill."

The Old Man said, but Hunter was already hooked, it never really took much when someone challenged him to a feat of strength. Always one of the "bigger guys" for his age, he took pride in dealing damage and providing services only someone of his build could.

"Alright Old Man, I am gonna hump this damn boulder of yours into submission. Challenge accepted, now time to bring the noise!"

Hunter would say in his normal macho fashion.

Hunter arrived on the Second Floor, after exploring for a bit outside the city he ran into an old man. The Old Man would fall down and rub his butt as he would begin to laugh, and Hunter would fall down and drop his Axe, he would then look up to see the Old Man laughing and not angry. This made Hunter laugh too and after a few minutes of laughter Hunter and the Old Man stopped and looked at each other.

"Young man...what are you looking for out here?"

He would ask.

"Just some adventure and possibly some ways to find some new skills. Why do ya' ask Old Timer?"

Hunter would retort looking to the Old Man who would begin to stand up. Hunter saw the Old Man look to have a bit of trouble, so Hunter rushed to the Old Man and helped him to his feet and dusted him off a bit.

"ah, thank you Youngster...say, I do need a spot of help up ahead, there is a boulder blocking my path. Mind helping an Old Timer like me out?"

The Old Man would ask suddenly. Hunter just nodded as he dusted himself off and picked up his Axe and followed the Old Man patiently just like he would have done in the Real World.

I am gonna hump this rock into submission.

I VOLUNTEER!!!!!

(OOC, I made two refrences here. Guess them)

I accept this quest

"Yeah, to bad we can't tame something like that. We would stop any damn Boss if we could."

Hunter laughed as he saw the Dragon prepare to charge them. Hunter got in a stance, it was a slight reminder of his time in football. He would wait for the Dragon to rush them, and when it got close enough to reach out, Hunter would slide underneath in an attempt to strike near it's soft underside.

If he managed to block the attack though instead of sliding, it would be a tremendous help because he could allow Mac an opprotunity to attack it again right after his counter.

If everything missed, he would take the hit full force, but he hoped he would not get that end of that stick.

Hunter's Health: 11/11

Dragons Health: 5/8

Damage goes in [1-5](Parry makes it: 1-4)

Blocks attack [6-9](Parry makes it: 5-8)

Counterattack [10](Parry makes it: 9-10)

Hunter noticed that both he and Mac had missed in their attacks. Their Accuracy seemed to get worse the longer the day dragged on, but that did not stop Hunter in the least bit. He whistled at Mac and signaled the switch as he selected >>Rend<< from his skill list and let his blade charge up and glow green. When he swung with one hand, it was so he could recover by catching the swing and initiating a more devastating and defining slash.

"TAKE THIS!"

Hunter said as he initiated his attack. He waited till he attacked to jump back along the wall then flip near to Mac.

"Alright, lets see what this big bastard has?"

Dragon's Health 6/8

Hunters Health 11/11

Mob counterattack[1]

Attack miss[2-5]

Attack damage[6-8]

Critical strike[9-10]

Hunter watched and listened as Mac would laugh and reveal that he basically got nothing...it looked like today they were both unlucky. Hunter picked up the Axe and watched as Mac would target the next Dragon. He would then leap into action to attack the beast. Hunter would select his >>Cleave<< Skill and activate it as his blade would glow blow.

"My turn!"

Hunter would laugh as he spun the Axe in the air before grabbing and taking the swing from the right to aim at the Dragons neck. After his attack, hit or miss Hunter would land back near Mac.

"Alright man, bring the pain."

Dragon Health: 8/8

Hunter's Health: 11/11

Mob counterattack[1]

Attack miss[2-5]

Attack hit[6-8]

Critical strike[9-10, added 1 turn of paralysis]

Hunter just lets Mac loot as he rests there a bit. Looking through his inventory he would select a food item and eat some of it to regain his health as he would look at Mac. He would be feeling a bit better as his health was normal now, he had to hand it to that Battle Healing skill...it was keeping him from dying right off the bat.

"get anything good off of the Dragon at least?"

Hunter would ask as he would find a new skill in his Axe Skills >>REND<<. He would look over the details of the attack, but not think anything of it for the time being.

"This cave is brutal. But I do not want to leave until we have something to show for it."

Hunter would say as he would pop his knuckles and keep waiting to see what Mac would like to do.

[OOC...your telling me...I am almost dead]

Hunter was engulfed by the fire balls. He was in pain so great, that he just wanted to give up, but instead he took the damage and then threw himself against the wall. He looked at his health bar and wanted to yell out in panic, but he began to get angry he actually felt the sensation as if he was on fire. He used his >>Battle Healing<< Skill as he roared in anger and was ready to lash out in anger, but saw Mac attack...he knew better than to strike out of turn, especially since after he landed the hit the Dragon pixilated.

"Damn...I can't get it right..."

Hunter would sigh and lean back against the cave wall to take a small breather as he would begin to heal.

"Good job Mac...at least you were able to beat it this time...pick up that loot man."

Hunter needed loot too and, would take a break waiting to see what Mac would get.

Hunter thought quick s his attack missed. He jumped back in enough time to see the Dragon launch it's own attack. 3 fireballs flying towards Hunter and Hunter was ready this time. He activated his >>Parry<< skill and prepared to attack and dodge how the fireballs would be flying at him.

"Getting a little hot in here Mac, lets finish this bastard."

Hunter called out as he held his axe out in a defensive stance in front of him.

Damage goes in [1-5](Parry makes it: 1-4)

Blocks attack [6-9](Parry makes it: 5-8)

Counterattack [10](Parry makes it: 9-10)

<>+1 when blocking.

Gonna bump this again...anyone still in this?

Bumping the topic, anyone still apart of this?

Hunter watched as Mac rained destruction down upon the Dragon. It was a scene straight out of a movie, but Hunter knew that it was real life now, and that...that made it scary. Hunter still had to push on though as he spun his Axe in his right hand before readying >>Cleave<< for another attack. He let out a roar as he attacked, of course he waited for Mac to finish before doing so. He also made sure that the Dragon would attack first.

"SWITCH!"

Hunter would yell before taking the Axe and swinging from over his head.

Mob counterattack[1]

Attack miss[2-5]

Attack hit[6-8]

Critical strike[9-10]

Hunter smiled as he was able to counter the attack of the Dragon. He switched back in with Mac, getting ahold of the system in place now as he watched Mac attack again. He began to speak about training, and Hunter let him do as he must. Yet Hunter also needed training too, he waited till he saw Mac's attack winding down and he decided to let loose his own attack.

"SWITCH!"

Hunter would activate the >>Cleave<< Axe Skill as his blade would glow blue. He swing the blade back behind him, and then over his shoulder, letting the blade get some momentum as he let his left had come to the Axe handle. He would attack and then pull away to switch just as he needs to do in a party system.

"Yeah! Get some!"

Hunter would yell and step back after attacking.
