Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?
Otto grew increasingly terrified of something from 'the other side' coming to get him. He was also eager to leave his small town and find adventure elsewhere. Leaving home had been something he'd wanted to do for a long time but never had the means to do it. It was a way out, on top of being promised the power to change his fate, and fight the shadows that he thought would haunt him forever.
The Weapon
Name: Tenya
Nicknames:
Type of Weapon: Large Boomerang
De-summoned Form: Necklace
Former species of weapon: Dropbear
Gender: Female
The relationship:
His damaged relationship with Tenya has since been smoothed over thanks to a status effect that led to a dream world encounter. In it, he found a new will to live and go on, with Tenya as a part of himself, rather than an alien being inside his mind.
Weapon Ability
Death From Above: <> T3
-->Tenya is thrown into the air when charged, and can spin so fast a sonic wave will radiate when she hits a target. Most effective when she is bounced off walls or other objects to create a pinball like effect.
Tier Three:
Dice: 9d4
First Dice:
xxxxx 1: Miss
xxxxx 2-4: Full Damage
Damage: Add up remaining dice. This total is the damage dealt to your opponent.
Roundhouse Strike: <> T2
-->Tenya is charged up, her runes glow and form a circle around Otto. Otto then spins her around in circles, creating an almost tornado like wind tunnel to surround him. The debris hits his opponent over and over again until he stops spinning her.
Tier Two:
Dice: 9d4
First Dice:
xxxxx 1: Miss
xxxxx 2 - 3: HIT however the resulting damage is divided by 2. Only 50% of the damage is dealt.
xxxxx 4: HIT however the resulting damage is multiplied by .8. Only 80% of the damage is dealt.
Damage: Ignore the first dice, total up the remaining dice. Divide or multiply the total by the modifier depending.
Background:
Otto grew up in Louisiana. He grew up his whole life in a small, rural town where much of the population mainly consisted of retired folks. There was nothing there save for farms, a small grocery store and an auto shop. Otto's family ran a Funeral Home, which had been passed down for 3 generations. His parents had tried for a child for years, but to no avail. That was when they decided to adopt.
Unfortunately, his father saw Otto as the living embodiment of what he could never provide for his wife, and a great rift formed between them.
Shadows and noises that only Otto could hear and see often outcasted him, and stretched out the strain on his already poor relationship with his dad. His mother was often too busy to deal with it, or was warned off by his father not to coddle his fears. His only outlet to his frustrations were drumming. It was a hobby his parents detested, which was part of the reason he took pleasure in it. He got along best with his grandfather, who lived a few rural blocks away. Otto often spent more time there than at home, especially when his parents were busy.
But when Otto was 9, his grandfather died. Otto took it hard, and isolated himself more and more, believing that no one but him had ever wanted him around. Now that he was gone, Otto believed he truly was all alone. Without his grandfather, Otto was more exposed to his father's verbal abuse. He was accosted daily for being useless, or not working hard enough with school work or chores. Any hobby or task he did that could be seen as pointless or of no use was belittled and shot down. Otto as a young boy had dreams and aspirations in the arts and music until they were squashed by his father's constant discouragement.
Otto was home schooled through most of his life, save for a couple of months where he attended high school in the next town over. He wasn't able to adjust well, and was pulled back out. It was at this school he'd met Kimberly, his girlfriend. He was only ever able to see her if he took a 2 hour bike ride into town (or 3 hours on a skateboard). It was the first friendship he'd ever had, and he clung to it like a lifeline.
His parents hated her. Her parents hated him. Both of them neglected their studies and disappeared for days, which led their parents to feel that they were bad for each other. Otto pierced his ears against his parents demands, and Kimberly got tattoos against her parents wishes. More than anything, they enjoyed doing things they were always told not to, both of them wanting to break away from the moulds their parents put upon them, or acting out out of loneliness.
As Kim's grades dropped, and Otto's attitude toward his parents got worse, both sides were pushing for the relationship to end.
Eventually, Kim couldn't handle the pressure at home, and told Otto she wanted to break up. Otto took it badly, and threw a fit. The fight was so bad, that at the end of it, both of them had said hateful and resentful things to each other, tainting the feelings they'd had for each other.
He went back to feeling completely alone, and scorned; holed up in his room for days on end. He had no loving girlfriend anymore to distract him from the lack of love at home.
It was a few weeks after, that he was recruited for Deus at age 16.
