Character Occupation: Hunter
Character's biggest strengths: Knows a lot about hunting, and is very good at it, particularly with a longsword.
[b]Character's biggest weaknesses: Pretty much everything else. If it isn't related to hunting, he probably doesn't know it. He is also very shy around new people, only really having known the people in the village all his life.
OBJECTIVES
[b]Primary Objectives are your character's main goals. This should be the thing that drives their part of the plot. When not engaged in stories, these are what occupy your character's thoughts or keep them busy. Examples include: acting on a desire to become a powerful and respected leader; attempting to overcome some horrible thing in the past which hinders the character on a day-to-day basis; seeking to break out their shell by overcoming profound shyness (getting involved with stories); comping to terms with a major flaw that inhibits the character from reaching full potential; etc.
Secondary Objectives are minor goals. These should be an undercurrent for your character when they are engaged in stories or on their free time. Examples include: acquiring weapons and becoming proficient with each one; improving sundered relations with a companion; improving their reading comprehension; mastering news spells; researching a cure for a plague; etc.
Objectives such as "making friends" or "finding love" are NOT acceptable. Please put much though into your character's objectives - they are what flesh out your character and one of the most important aspects necessary to portray the character as 3D.
Primary Objective: Become the best hunter he can be in order to prove to his parents and to the hunters guild that he can stand on his own and sustain himself, but also prove that he's worthy of being called a hunter. (This can lead to all sorts of character development moments, especially when he fails a mission and torments himself by thinking maybe he's not worthy of the title at all.)
Secondary Objectives: 1. Learn how to cook. 2. Use his ability to fish, gather herbs and mushrooms, etc as a means to support himself and contribute to his new "guild". 3. Collect more powerful weapons to aid him in his fight against monsters so that, one day, he can return to his dimension and prove once and for all that he's not his mother or father but his own person worthy of renown. 4. Learn to craft more items, and perhaps learn to smith so he can create his own weapons and armor from monster materials.
MUNDANE SKILLS
These do NOT require points. These are the average, daily things your character can do. Examples are "drive a car", "speak one Foreign Language", "play a guitar", "write poetry". Some mundane skills come from your bio and are freebie. A soldier has gone through Basic training. However, Medic, martial arts or sniper would be a Specialized Skill or Talent.
List Mundane skills here
Basic training in all hunter weapon types available as of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.
Knowledge of how to create simple items by combining ingredients, such as the basic MH health potion.
Good understanding of when to time his attacks and dodges.
Knows how to mine and gather materials from the wild.
SPECIALIZED SKILLS AND TALENTS
These are specialized skills that set you apart from the average person. You have 7 points to spend here. Examples are swordsmanship, sniper, coercion, medic, wizarding, piloting etc.
- Ability 1 and Points Spent:
Longsword training, 3
- Ability 2 and Points Spent:
Hunter level strength, 2
- Ability 3 and Points Spent:
Hunter level endurance, 1
- Ability 4 and Points Spent:
Hunter level dexterity, 1
OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS
You have 7 points to spend here on supernatural skills or abilities. Sonic Scream, Levitation, Spell Casting, Shape Shifting etc. Superman MUST have his kryptonite thus weaknesses are things which inhibit the ability. Restrictions are what can't they do with their power or what balances it. They can only use it when they genuinely need it? They can't use it for more then five minutes without serious side-effects? Some things are allowed without points. A pegasus has wings thus it can fly. A raptor is fast thus no points are spent in speed. These "natural" abilities should be listed here, however. What isn't allowed: teleportation beyond a few feet; the ability to alter or go back/forward in time.

If it's not on this list, your character doesn't have it. Magical items are rare and hard to come by. Please list what they can/can't do - treat them like a supernatural thing. Items not allowed: anything that can alter time; anything that allows a character to teleport beyond a few feet.
List:
Not sure if these should be considered magic or not, so I'm putting them in here to be safe.
Full Kut-Ku armour set (3 points): Offers decent defence against melee attacks, and resistances to fire. Weak to water, ice and dragon elements. 3 points.
Eager Cleaver (4 points): a massive katana created using machalite ore, iron ore, and electro sacks harvested from previously hunted Khezus. Thanks to these electro sacks, the weapon is imbued with a powerful electric charge, shocking whatever it cuts.
EQUIPMENT
This is what your character has on their person at the very moment when they are pulled from their home dimension. Don't abuse this. They won't be clutching an entire bunker.
List:
Hunters pouch
10 paint balls
5 potions
1 mega potion
10 whetstones
1 shock trap
3 tranq bombs
10 herbs
10 blue mushrooms
BACKGROUND
Be detailed please. You must explain how your character aquired their skills, talents, abilities, and special items. Wrap your primary and secondary objectives into it.
Education or Training: Hunter training from his parents.
Character Background/Biography: Iso grew up in a small village named Lokomo, which was out of the way of just about everything, far from the rest of civilisation. The only information he ever got from the outside world were from the hunters and representatives of the hunters guild, his own parents included. Every night as a child, he would sit in the guild hall and listen to the hunters tales until well past the time the rest of the village children had gone to sleep.
Because of this, most felt it was no surprise that he became a hunter himself, taking up the longsword like his mother had, although still occasionally training with a light bowgun like his father. As one might expect, he became rather good at it, quickly rising to rank 4 missions.
However, during a particularly gruelling hunt where he had to fight a Rathalos, a powerful wyvern that regularly served as a wake up call for young hunters, he was knocked off a cliff.
When he woke up, he was in a place he didn't recognise, and he was covered in small injuries from the hunt.

Shit.
This wasn't what Jeremy wanted...
He'd just been so angry, but he'd never wanted to trigger some kind of trauma!
"Hey, are you alright?"
It was just a small shudder, small enough that some people might not have picked up on it, but the timing indicated that at least some small part of her heard him.
He sighed.
"Alright, listen. I'm sorry I blew up at you. I don't know if you registered anything I was saying, but if you didn't, I've had a bad couple of days. But you have to understand that, while it is a big part of it, I'm not just thinking the war that'll start."
He paused, looking at the ground as he thought back to his actions the day before. How e was trying desperately to negotiate his way out of certain death. How, in the spur of the moment, he guilt tripped Lia into complying peacefully so he could survive. How he guilt tripped a fucking child into going somewhere that obviously held horrible, horrible trauma for her so he didn't have to die.
It made him feel sick.
"She... needs us." He said, before looking up and staring the woman dead in the eye. "Lia needs us. She needs her brother, and you, and anyone else we can find. We have to save her. I have to save her, and I'll need help for that. So please, tell me where I can find her brother, and stop him before he gets killed going after the wrong people!"
He dropped to his knees, lowered his head to the ground, and hoped to god that she'd believe him enough to actually help him.
"I'm begging you, help me save the person who sold her freedom to save me!"

A dimension where life is essentially the same as the game. There isn't a village like his in any of the games, and I would probably have to make him even more overpowered if I made him an actual character from the game.
I wear teal, blue & pink for Swith
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination.

Alright then. Approved but you'll need to wait until tomorrow before joining the IC. I'll need some players to volunteer or CoOP to man Volker.
You'll need to let me know what he was doing moments before being hauled from his dimension. It would have been a moment before his death.

BACKGROUND
Be detailed please. You must explain how your character acquired their skills, talents, abilities, and special items. Wrap your primary objectives and goals into it.
Education or Training: Masters in Genetic Artistry, Masters in Chemical Engineering, PhD in Artistic Interpretation, Basic firearms and self defense training,
Character Background/Biography: Insidious was born in Natlus to a very traditional Luxan household. They sang the long chant every night, sacrificed animals weekly and humans monthly. Her parents tried to live like the prophets never using technology invented past 1937. She lived with twelve other siblings and always struggled to find attention in her large family as a middle child.
To cope she took up painting as a way to rebel. Her parents, who saw literature as the only worthwhile artform were greatly disappointed but after much teenage angst they let her paint and sketch. She blasted through reams of paper at an astonishing rate, pouring her emotions out on surrealist paintings of her dreams, landscapes of the surrounding landscape and portraits. She vented.
One day she was approached by a stranger who admired her work and offered to sponsor her art and help her attend higher education. This sponsor was revealed to be Lillian Wolland a famous surgeon artist from Reala. Insidious told her parents and left despite their concerns.
Wolland quickly helped Insidious master nearly every art form known to Luxan kind. Queer types of music and strange methods of painting that boggled the mind. She learned how to photograph nightmares and sculpt flesh, she practiced growing living canvases and carving reality to suit the needs of each peice. Insidious had never been happier.
It wasn’t long before Insidious learned that Wolland was dying and infertile. She had taken Insidious under her wing not only be a final comfort for her in her dying days but also to be Woollands final piece of art. “There’s no finer artistic creation than making a soul” she told Insidious on her deathbed. That night Insidious went out and purchased her most expensive artistic surgery. A full body color changing skin graft. She sat on an operating table for a full day shrieking in pain and sobbing in misery before she was finished.
Insidious continued her work and began to finish her schooling but her life was lacking the same flare as it once had. That is until she met Primordial. A young up and coming son of a Baron, they met in an art history class. He was there for the history, she was there for the art. But they became friends and bought an apartment together a month later. It was Primordial and his unyielding drive to impress people and live up to his families name that helped Insidious find a new muse. He didn’t seem to let anything get in his way, greedy classmates, stubborn teacher or the laws of physics.
Insidious began her work again in earnest and was picked up by a major artistic licensing company. She spent many years painting prominent building, creating sculptures for Dukes, and shooting small movies for film festivals. She became quite popular and famous.
With her new fame she decided to return home to confront her parents and tell them how much she had missed them and how deeply she loved them despite being so aloof. However when she arrived back in Natlus she found the entire area that had been her home was gone, destroyed by a radiation storm. Her family was dead and she alone all over again. She realized then the cruel nature of the universe. Her family had always spoken of it, how it was chaotic uncaring world of nightmarish meaninglessness. But only now did she understand.
Luckily for her Primordial called before she could sink into total self-annihilation. He told her of an opportunity to travel the universe. Explore new sights and locations, to rob them blind of knowledge and make Luxa remember their names for years to come. Insidious didn’t care about knowledge or becoming national heros, but she was desperate for a purpose that would cure her Ennui. She came along ready to sketch the edges of the dark universe.
Along with Aegis, she and Primordial journeyed across the gulfs of time and space. Primordial stealing books, Aegis devastating armies and her just there to photograph it all. She filled entire galleries with pieces and burned millions more that she found lacking. It’s been a fun distraction but now she’s trapped on Galli and the crippling fear and self-loathing is creeping back into her mind and her art.
