Found on the regional convergence, it stands as a safe haven from monsters and the chaos of the forces. With a region to every cardinal direction, and more beyond those, Hunters have easy access to anywhere they need to go. The inhabitants of Ocht'aa are of many races and creeds, but all are friends and allies with the knowledge that unity breeds strength and life. The city is cut into many walled districts, though the gates are always open between them. Wide, main roads spill out from the central citadel and snake around the city, thoroughfares to allow hunters and others to get where they need, though many humanoids do not often leave their district.<br><br>The citadel is the center of the city, where the council rules and where Hunters heed the call. While there is no known magic in the world, Hunters are not made: they are born. From a young age, animals will flock to them and they will be stronger and more durable than others their age. They will have an easier time getting around and understanding how things go together. Eventually, around ten years into their life, they will hear a siren's call to the citadel, something they cannot resist. They will meet the elder hunters, learn to fight, craft their first set of weapon and armor, and meet their future team. Around ten years later they will be deemed ready for the final test.<br><br>Tame their spirit beast, or die trying.<br><br>Should the young hunter survive meeting and subduing their destined monster, they will be a full-fledged hunter. Inducted into the order, they hold respect and sway to the common folk, but also have a responsibility to them. For Hunters are the ones that travel to the far reaches of the land, braving deadly monsters and unpredictable weather caused by the Forces — massive monsters surrounded by climates that drive adaptation — to gather materials from the land and beasts themselves. These materials are used to both enhance their gear and to Ocht'aa survive.<br></div><br><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">Blank Character Sheet</span></strong><br><strong>Hunter</strong><br>------------------------<br>Name:<br>Age:<br>Gender:<br>Race:<br><br>Appearance<br>(Picture, Description, or hybrid is fine)<br><br>Weapon Type<br>(Picture, description, video, etc. Explain how it works and how they use it)<br><br>Personality:<br>(No need for a novel if you don't want ; A few points that can be expanded on in-RP is fine)<br><br>History<br>(No need for a novel if you don't want ; A few points that can be expanded on in-RP is fine)<br><br><strong>Bonded Creature</strong><br>------------------------------------<br>Name:<br>Creature Race:<br>Appearance<br>(Picture Reference Preferred)<br></div>

The sword rests sheathed in the shield when at rest. In combat, the shield can be charged with energy caused by both parts making high-speed power contact, and when combined this energy will imbue the greatsword, the blade glowing with searing heat. A mix of agility and power, with the ability to shear through the thickest hide when charged.<br></div></div><br>Personality:<br>Loyal, Passionate, Energetic, Friendly, Protective<br><br>History<br>Draccia (Cia to those that earn her loyalty) was born to a powerful hunter and his wife. Even though his duty kept him away from the city, and this his family, for long stretches of time, Kolyat Okami was a loving father. He recognized that his daughter was likely to be a hunter when he saw how she held not an ounce of fear around his bonded creature, and from reports of her protecting younger children from larger bullies.<br><br>Indeed, when she was 12 she heard the call. Her training was rigorous, as it always was, but Cia never gave up. She strived to learn the other trainees her age in addition to learning the compex weapon that she had crafted in a half-delerious state after waking up at midnight. And now, ten years later, it is time for her final test. She has no intention of failing: she will bond with her destined monster, and she will not let one of her team fall.<br><br><strong>Bonded Creature</strong><br>------------------------------------<br>Name: Soven<br>Creature Race: Amtr'su (Wolflike creatures that swirl with energy, absorbing it from the air around them)<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Appearance</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/cf/13/99/cf1399763493dd3d73753ff64f0b2647.jpg)</div></div></div>

				Name: Llewelyn (Llew)<br>Age: 20<br>Gender: Male<br>Race: Human<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Appearance</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/9c/1b/0e/9c1b0e53948120ffb810b4f376174eb4.jpg)</div></div><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Weapon</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/30/a0/0f/30a00f0d5cbdd78dff3e66b5d8d5c625.jpg)<br>Scalepiercer is a medium sized bow, good at medium short, to medium long range,&nbsp; keeping Llewelyn out of melee. The barbed arrows have thin, long tips, especially designed for punching through the thick scales of naturally armored monsters. If he can't maintain the distance to fight with his bow, he also makes use of a large sickle as a backup melee weapon, though it is primarily used for harvesting plants. <br></div></div><br><br>Personality:<br>Llewelyn has been a tad strange, ever since he was a wee lil' one. He had imaginary friends, like most kids, but his inner world was incredibly rich; and then, it turns out, all his friends were a bit more real (though still a byproduct of a dreamer's mind); they were cats. Whenever he could, he would prowl around streets, petting the strays, and later on, doing odd jobs here and there so he could get food to feed them. According to the Child Llewelyn, he could speak the language of cats, and it even was a stray cat, "taking <acronym title="him">me</acronym> on an adventure" that led him to the Citadel.<br><br>Llew's personality can be quite mercurial, and is also, to the surprise of no one, often considered cat-like. He enjoys hunting, but also lazing around. He watches people with a critical, judgmental eye; and he some times brings offerings of food to people he likes (thankfully, in the case of humans, this is always in the form of a prepared snack).&nbsp; <br><br>Though full grown, he still maintains a childlike sense of wonder for the world he inhabits. <br><br>History<br>Llew's mother and father worked in material processing, helping to turn the harvested parts of monsters into consumable food or usable materials. They were proud of this work, but Llew was always more interested in sneaking off, and exploring the city. Even from a young age, he loved to sunbathe with cats; run around with dogs; and even boldly approached some of the more interesting, but still friendly, creatures that could be found around the city. Anybody that knew him could be almost certain of his future. <br><br>One day, he "went on an adventure" with one of the stray cats he adored, a one-eyed black cat; and this "adventure" ended up with a young Llew in front of the Citadel. The training was tough, but he always rose to the occasion. His instructors had some worries about perceived laziness, as he still liked to slip off and sunbathe; however, when he revealed that he also used that time to think deeply about life, their city, the purpose of hunters, hunting techniques; it became apparent that what was seen as merely lazy was actually closer to meditative pondering. <br><br>Llew learned to shoot with the best of 'em, knowing it's not glamorous work, but that it was an important ability to have; especially if the party he one day joined faced off against winged creatures. He also learned about how to make use of the environment around him; foraging, harvesting, and trap-making. He also is quite stealthy, definitely preferring to be an ambush predator. <br><br>Bonded Creature<br>------------------------------------<br>Name: Jager<br>Creature Race: Gloam-stalkers are a feline creature that prefer to hunt during dusk and dawn, in that liminal space where it is not quite day or night. They are exceptionally sneaky, and cunning. Larger than a mundane lynx, they, like their lynx relative, prefer ambush hunting. They usually have black or dark purple fur, with orange accents. Their tails are capable of lighting up and glowing, and is used to deceive and lure in prey; much like an anglerfish. <br>Appearance<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Appearance</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/7c/ce/61/7cce6190f512c7a48848fd6e6abbe24f.jpg)<br></div></div>
