				First!<br><br><strong>Name:</strong> Cairus Kainsweld<br><br><strong>Age:</strong> 20<br><br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male <br><br><strong>Appearance/Description:</strong> <br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">appearance</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://moe.animecharactersdatabase.com/uploads/chars/5524-1258322907.jpg)</div></div><br><strong>Weapon of Choice:</strong> Longsword<br><br><strong>Personally:</strong> 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.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> 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 <em>swore</em> 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.<br><br>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.<br><br><strong>Sexual Preferences/Boundaries:</strong> Straight male with a bit of a dominant streak hidden under the surface, nothing all that new here.

				<strong>Name:</strong> Seiche<br><br><strong>Age:</strong> 19<br><br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><br><strong>Appearance/Description:</strong><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Seiche</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/kymeth/Gaming/MonsterHunter/monster-hunter-nargacuga-female-armor.jpg)</div></div><br><strong>Weapon of Choice:</strong> Double-Edged Trident (http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/077/6/0/stormedge_by_raverunner-d4t4ewp.jpg)<br><br>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.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> 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.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> 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.<br><br>For the couple years, she relished the opportunity to <em>really</em> 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.<br><br><strong>Sexual Preferences/Boundaries:</strong> All genders are welcome, along with certain kinks; some light S&amp;M play or bondage, maybe some other stuff. No blood, scat, or the usual stuff that people put boundaries on.

				So I read the description of this place we're in... and I notice a bit of an issue.<br><br>How is our 'underwater specialist' ever going to have a chance to shine if every body of water is frozen and/or WAY too deadly cold for humans to be swimming in?

				Well, in the games, your missions have you sent off to different regions with completely different climates and such, though it would be nice to have some nearby, unfrozen sources of water for her do some food-gathering in before each hunt.

				you can update characters in this thread and although its not stated in the version we get in Europe and America the snowy mountains region is actually very close to the fishing ports and jungle regions, i'll have the village close to the base of the mountain so that its easier for our water specialist to do her thing.
