Previously you mentioned that wanted to be a Constable turned hunter, is that still the case here?

Would it be better that he was?

No no it's fine. I actually don't want to get bogged down with only hunters, we should diversify.

Also just letting you know, this would be your uniform:

Name: Constable Hendrik

Gender or Sex: Male

Age: 44

Class: The Civilian

Personality: Proud, Loyal, Honorable, and Unforgiving

Backstory: Born within the Yharnam Slums, Hendrik’s family was among the countless poor of Yharnam. His father changed professions multiple times over the course of Hendrik’s childhood, including work as a Cobbler, Factory Worker, and Quarry Laborer. On the side, his father was involved in petty crime such as theft, robbery, and so on. Eventually, his father was caught for theft and lost a hand as punishment. Hendrik was set to be a Tanner’s Apprentice, but because his father was no longer able to work, Hendrik was forced to return home and work to support his family. His father took to drinking, and became abusive, leading Hendrik to run away from home.

He supported himself through various menial jobs until he came of age, and then enlisted into the Yharnam Police Force. After undergoing his probationary period, and on the advise of his superior’s, Hendrik opted to specialize in criminal investigations. Since then, Hendrik has served the city of Yharnam and sought to keep the peace in the city. He views the rise of the Healing Church with suspicion, and has most recently been assigned to investigate the disappearance of the heiress.

ACCEPTED.

We probably just need to figure out what my abilities will actually do for me, otherwise I'm good to go.

Name: Darius Laroe
Gender or Sex: Male
Age: 43
Class: The Hunter
Personality: Darius is very rough around the edges. He’s a drunk, and what many would consider a bum. He has anger issues, he’s suicidal (to some mild degree), and has an extreme hatred for beasts. He despises the typical technique and finesse of hunters, instead preferring a direct and brutal approach to killing beasts. He also despised the church to a degree, only being a hunter to kill beasts.
Backstory:(Two paragraphs at least)

Then do you have any questions about the lore that I can answer.

Beat Laurence yet?

Beat Laurence yet?

Yep. First time too, though I was a bit over leveled. Was forced to git gud during the Orphan fight and learn how to riposte with the pistol. Once I got that done, I literally beat Gherman first time too.

(I was a filthy casul before that who overly relied on two handers and ignored the pistol. Took me like ten times trying to beat Lady Maria like that. )

Wait you didn't learn to parry UNTIL the Orphan?

[Danceria]

I'm planning on playing an upbeat ex-combat medic who's seen some shit. Hence why he'll have a 3(!) in will. I assume you can learn/get gud on the rest of the stats, but Will is the most difficult to do...right?

Well, I really starting experimenting during Lady Maria, but I wasn't really effective until the Orphan. Prior to that, I went through the main game until the Amygdala w/o knowing how to parry.

(It might be b/c I was more used to Dark Souls beforehand, where parrying isn't really as important imo, especially since you could only parry human-type enemies/other players and not the giant monster bosses. I found riposting with the pistol in Bloodborne much easier in comparison when I got the hang of it, which is the stage where I finally got gud like I said. )

I didn't notice your question. Why does he hate beasts, besides the Pthumerian dungeons, beasts are a relatively new concept.

Can you rephrase your question?

That's fair, were you a strength or skill build?

That's fair, were you a strength or skill build?

More towards strength since I mainly used the Whirligig Saw and Moonlight Greatsword (two handed at first, but almost exclusively one handed now).

My skill wasn't too low either since I generally tried to bring up all my stats so that I could use all the weapons and hunter tools, which made my stats pretty even tbh. Not really specialized towards strength or skill like other people since both were under 40 last time I played with health and stamina being the highest at 50 and 40 respectively. Keep in mind I haven't entered NG+ yet.

How about you?

When I first started playing I was using exclusively saw spear because why not, it's great. Keep in mind I prefer Dex or strength so skill was my forte.

By the end of the game I was using the Chikage because i multiclassed with blood tinge. Evelyn and Choose were my preferred weapons because the transformation plus damage was just too good.

By Ng+ I am using the Rakuyo because it has one of the most varied move sets in the game. It's really fun. So now it's Chikage/Rakuyo for me.

[North America Inc]

That's also why I wanted to play Maria lol.

Your character sounds like Lady Maria's successor lol. I personally wish I put more towards a skill build now that I know how to parry effectively in any case, though I do use the Evelyn as my primary pistol now too.

No joke though, I found getting the Rakuyo harder than than some of the bosses in the game because of those two shark monsters in the well. I had to cheese them in the end, since I didn't want to spend too much time on them when the Orphan was just around the corner. :/

I cheesed them too, I used the bone claw item for them to do all the work.

Tag for a skeptic and can you only learn up with either blood or insight with the archetypes that have unspecified leveling conditions?

[Danceria]

I assume that you can train to become Mightier (by lifting or bashing things), read books for lore, talk with folks to be more influential, but what about Will and Cunning? How do you level up those stats?

Might is your combat.
Influence is talking
Cunning is your intellectual ability. Basically build stuff.
Will will naturally build up over time the longer you are apart of the investigation. Basically it's how dedicated you are.

Can you rephrase that.
