Character Name: Mahaziver
Player Name: LunaRei_SilverBlood
Race: Human
Type: Hunter
Do you understand that if you are a new player and you win this character, you can lose him if you're not active with him/in the thread for 3 months after winning? Yes!
The air was cool and thick at the same time. It had been humid when the sun was still up and it was gross feeling. The beads of sweat rolled down her creamy colored skin as she ducked behind a bush listening to the sound of the Riftborns breathing. As her breath billowed out from her lips her tongue slipped out as she lightly bit it.
It was moments like this that she had to remember why she was here. It wasn’t that her life was exactly tragic. She grew up without a mother, she died in child birth. However she was in training from the earliest days that she could remember to following in her families’ footsteps to become a Hunter. Mahaziver was always very close to her father when one hunt he was out with others and he suffered severe injuries. Ramsey, her father went on to have a ‘normal’ life. Even with all the technology to give him a prosthetic leg, he still had limited use of his strong arm. Maha watched as the light faded from his eyes. She was only 14 at the time but her dad was her family and so she felt anger toward Riftborn for taking away his light.
So here she found herself like any other Friday night, hunting. Although tonight she was alone, the others she normally would go out with wanted an evening at the local tavern. Mahaziver almost passed on going out for a pretty face, but he would still be there when she finished up here. Her mind shifted back to the task at hand. She pulled out the dagger that her father had passed onto her and focused. Before the Riftborn was even able to put its foot down Maha slipped under it, her dagger pointed up as she sliced its belly open. The rune her armor allowed her to move more freely and quickly. Twisting herself slightly she pushed off the ground and before the creature had time to react she thirsted the dagger into it’s spine and she ripped it to the side. It wasn’t easy, it never was when alone. But Mahaziver found a strange inner peace from doing this.
Since the huntress wasn’t physically strong, removing the head of the Riftborn was always a laboring task for her. She panted as she sawed at the paralyzed creature’s body, and finally snapped the spine. This was quicker then she usually would have taken one down. She got lucky tonight or was it really luck? Maybe she wanted more of a fight. One would think that their arms would have more durability then this after doing this often enough but the girls arms started to burn and grow tired. “You all deserve what you get." She stated plainly. Her golden eyes glancing to the dagger again.
It was a gift from her father when she finished her training. It had belong to him with a Rune for accuracy. Granted the ability was a bit limiting, Mahaziver rarely used it anyways. The dagger was more sentimental then anything. The ability her armor gave her was usually more than enough; however she had only encountered the same type of Riftborn. As they were taught, there would be others some day, and that is when the daggers ability might come in handy more. She didn’t want to rely on it too much.
Standing up she realized she made a bit of a mess of herself with the black blood from the creature, but she frowned. As per usual, it didn’t make her feel much better. Her dad was still missing his leg and had no real use of his arm. “It’s time for a drink and some fun…” She kicked the creature and stalked off back toward Ikaria.

Character Name: Allura Valencia
Player Name: MayaMage2
Race: Human
Type: Hunter
Do you understand that if you are a new player and you win this character, you can lose him if you're not active with him/in the thread for 3 months after winning? yes
She hears it before she sees it. The riftborn must be just a few yards away. The forest is in deep shadow and it takes a few seconds for her bright yellow eyes to adjust to the darkness. Spotting the huge mass just a few inches to the left in the distance, Allura kneels to inspect a sticky splotch of black blood on the ground. She has been hunting this riftborn ever since dinner time when it showed up uninvited at her favorite bar in the outskirts of Ikaria and ruined the place before she could get a few drinks in. You can mess with me, but don’t mess with my drinks!
“Good, I managed to injure it, it shouldn’t take too long to…” all of a sudden she feels a breeze as something she did not recognize just misses her right ear. “Crap!” She swears as she ducks for cover behind a massive tree “Focus Ally! You’re gonna get yourself killed.” She squeezes her eyes shut as she remembers another day, just a few years ago. She remembers the warm red liquid on her face as she gazes into the lifeless eyes of Gianna, her best friend as she was skewered right in front of her by a riftborn. Her last words still imprinted on her mind: “Focus Ally! You’re gonna get yourself killed!”
It was Gianna and Allura’s debut hunt and they were both excited to get going. They always did everything together, ever since they were little. They knew each other’s secrets and even shared their own apartment when they moved out of their parent’s house to become hunters together. All they wanted to do was protect their families from the constant threat of the Riftborn. Their first mission was to bring back the head of one. They tracked through the forests all day long, with no sign of one until night time, when they took a break for a meal. The monster was silent as death and startled the girls in mid chew. Gianna, the braver of the two, jumped into action first, twisting and twirling in mid air, slashing at the monster with her daggers while Allura stared at the fight slack jawed, with hammer in hand. Panic took over her and all of a sudden her hammer seemed too heavy. All she wanted to do was run. Who was she kidding? She wasn’t made for this!
“Watch out!” She was brought back to life as Gianna collided with her, rescuing her from a deadly punch from the Riftborn. The impact sent them both tumbling down a small incline. Gianna stood up first and quickly pulled Allura up. Looking into her friend’s eyes Gianna shouted, shaking Allura: “Focus Ally! You’re gonna get yourself killed!” Just then, Gianna gasped, and went slack jawed. Spitting blood, she tried to say something but words would not come. The light in her eyes faded as Allura looked down and saw the riftborn’s enormous, spiked hand protruding from Gianna’s small chest. All Ally remembers from that point was grabbing Gianna’s daggers. Everything else was lost to her. She came out of the forest the next morning, covered in blood. Gianna’s daggers at her waist, Gianna’s lifeless body over her right shoulder and the head of the riftborn clutched in her left hand. Since then, Riftborn hunting has been her whole life. In between parties, alcohol and boys, of course.
Ally shook her head violently in an effort to make the memory dissipate from her mind. “Focus, damn you!” She whispered to herself. Readying her daggers, she clutched them tightly and with lightening speed, she left the cover of the tree and sprinted straight for the riftborn. The horrendous creature did not see her coming. She jumped up as high as she could and brought her foot down full force on the back of the rifborn’s head, somersaulting over the monster and landing in front of him, The force of the kick nearly smashed the riftborn’s head in, thanks to her newest improvements to her boots, which allowed her to have super strength. As quickly as her alchemy allowed her she slashed at the monster’s throat with both her daggers. Taking the monster’s head clean off. Black goo, splattered her face.
“Easy!” She smirked, picking up the riftborn’s head. Slinging it over her shoulder she made her way back to Ikaria. A silent prayers was sent up to Gianna: “Two hundred and one down, thousands to go!” She murmured as she sighed, her thoughts going back to booze and boys...

Character Name: Carani
Player Name: Creril
Race: Human
Type: Hunter
Do you understand that if you are a new player and you win this character, you can lose him if you're not active with him/in the thread for 3 months after winning? I do indeed.
Another day, another hunt in the Riftwood. Carani found herself face to face more or less with a Riftborn once again, this one somehow managed to get destroy most of her clothing and armor, leaving her in the barest of armor to help defend herself. The huntress thinking once again why she never had a backup set around. The creature itself wielding some wicked looking claw-like hands and those devious looking teeth, growling and snarling before charging the woman, claws at the ready as it does so.
"C'mon you can do better than recklessly charge at me can't you?!?"
The young huntress soon tossing a mixture of dirt, leaves and whatever she found on the wooded area's ground to slightly distract the creature as she unceremoniously tumbled out of the way as her poor scarf suffered some more damage. One of her wicked looking blades soon comes down to kindly remove one of those clawed hands from the it as well. Moments later to only be used against it as a weapon transmuted with her dagger into a sharp glove-like weapon. The huntress using her somewhat smaller size to get a little closer to the vile creature as it howled and seemed to agonize over the loss and pain of its now missing hand.
The poor girl seemed to skid to a halt in front of it as it suffered, a frown on her face before shaking her head and doing just what it had done moments ago; recklessly charge ahead. This however backfired the instant the creature took a snap at her own head with its massive set of jaws and teeth. The blonde letting out a strangled little screech as she tried to skid to a stop, only to slide precariously close underneath it.
"I meant to do this!" She says triumphantly from underneath the creature as she used the beasts own alchemy morphed hand to rip a hole through the things 'heart'.
The fighters other weapon had managed to find its way through the creatures jaw and into its skull. The riftborn's remaining razor-like hand had managed to dig itself rather painfully into one of her thighs though, causing the whole heap of riftborn and huntress to collapse in a bloody mess. The gal soon pulling herself free from underneath the corpse with a groan and stumbling limp.
"I win." She says with a grunt as she grabs the handle of her dagger with both hands to twist and yank roughly at the head from side to side.
"Gimme back my knife!!" She whines pitifully at the corpse. "I'm hurt, half-naked and hungry, so gimme it!"
With a rather untasteful crunch the beasts jaw and her knife finally broke and tore free. The woman letting out a shudder before shaking off the beasts mangled hand from her left hand and the jaw from the right's dagger. "I've stolen your heart, now Off with your head!" She shouts before using both curved blades to properly and swiftly behead the beast.
Several hours later the huntress would be seen dragging her injured leg, bound in scraps of her armor and what little alchemical knowledge she could muster to staunch the bleeding as she headed towards the pub in Clarus Arbor. Wearing most of the Riftborn's head on her own, with jaw reattached with some more of her leather armor and the beasts heart made into a charm for a necklace. "Maybe now I can afford some better armor and a ******** bath, been weeks or maybe was it months since my last one? Though you do make a nice helmet more than a living creature, no offense." She mumbles to the semi-hollowed out head. It seems this huntress' only motive to become a hunter and kill the riftborn is to constantly replace her ruined armor and she's pretty indifferent to the riftborn themselves for the moment.
