A thick, full jungle of lush plants and fruit trees. There are some beasts that live in this jungle that most people couldn't survive an attack from so it is uncommon for any people to come here without enough training to be a hunter. Foxbears are quite common here. They tend to stay away from humans, but if their cubs are nearby, then they become much more aggressive. Certain times of year in this forest are exceptionally dangerous.

Name: Foxbear Cub A fox bear cub might not be as powerful and strong as a parent. But, finding one will mean that the parent is near and should be approached with caution. These cubs are only maybe one and a half feet long, weigh no more than six pounds and are undeniably adorable. Messing with one is likely to call it's mother, but sometimes the cubs do wander far enough away from their mothers and are victims to poaching or other beasts.

Burxa was out in the forest. She was hunting for new plants to add to her book of herbs. As the purple witch roamed, she made sure to look at the tracks in the mud. It was her way of trying to stay clear of animals paths in the forest. On the hunt for the Urchin Thistle, she knew it could be essential to her book of herbs. It had a poisonous core which means that she could kill it and turn it into a potion. A sick twisted smile came over her face at the thought of someone consuming this potion and dying. "Oh, you poor little human. You shouldn't have drunk it. You thought it would make it all better, but it didn't. You were foolish." She said as if she was taunting someone for coming to her for asking for a cure and she gave them poison. Burxa heard a sound coming from the bushes and she hides behind a tree. Picking around the tree, she didn't see anything. "It was probably just a pesty animals running from something." Burxa liked animals she just hated being in contact with them. Watching them from afar was what made her happy, but she chose to live in the jungle with them. Therefore, she had to deal with them.
Sprinting through the jungle heavy panting followed by the ruslte of the shrubbery latching onto him, Fango was on the hunt once more! Leaping through tall grass and thicket to keep eye contact on his prey."Grrrr~!"In hot pursuit of a Monitor Lizard, the green haired boy, leaped from tree to tree, trying to block off one of the acid mouthed lizards escape routes. As the beast scurried toward him, Fango's sharp teeth and long claw like finger nails emerged.
Pouncing on all 4's to meet the creature, the dark skinned boy lauched a single slashing attack which would strike the creature on top of it's head clearly drawing blood. While it wasn't a lethal blow it was all he could manage while also evading the creatures acid spit. Landing flush on the other side of the creature Fango's attack would cement the monsters flight response. This was a fight it couldn't win. Whoever Fango was already prepared for the creature to flee once more, gracefully back flipping through the air. The boy would come down with all his height in a single claw attack. Sinking his claws in the venomous lizard's spine, Fango would crush it's internal organs successfully hunting one of these vile beasts.
Cold blue blood dripping off of his hands, Fango's guard didn't drop a bit. Sniffing the air, his heightened sense of smell picked up on the sent of... Perfume... which wasn't every common in the jungle."Who's in my hunting grounds..."The savage beast boy would hiss, eye's darting across the shrubbery. Trailing the scent, it wasn't too far, but it wasn't too close by any means. Leaping from branch to branch Fango was like a modern day Tarzan moving through the jungle with ease. Plopping down on a branch, Fang slowly breached the clearing of the trees with his face. Scanning the area for his target.
Coming across a raven haired woman, fango would analyze her. She didn't look like she was dressed for the jungle. Drawing his claws, Fango knew he could kill her if he wanted to."Who dares enter my jungle! Turn back now!"The jungle boy would shout attempting to startle the city-dweller woman. He had another trick up his sleeve as well. Strangling a nearby Monitor lizard, Fango would kill another one, using it like a puppet. Holding the lizard upside down he would let the acid goop out and onto tree branches overhead... It was his idea of a joke.
However what fango didn't realize was that he unintentionally dripped Acid Monitor venom over this strange woman's unsuspecting head.

Yami Matsuoda [ Dangerous Game Specialist | Level 1 Hunter ] [ CONTENT WARNING FOR ANIMAL ABUSE IN THE SPOILER ]
DRUNK AND DEPRESSED HIS LIFE HAD GONE SOUTH - Yami awoke from his drunken slumber completely sober and hating it. "Why the ******** is the sun so loud right now," he thought to himself as he lifted his head and tried to open his eyes only to slammed them back shut as the light from the sun pierced into his corneas. He rolled back over onto his stomach and curled up onto his knees, both his forearms pressed into the forest ground. <******** damn! I hate hangovers!" He tried again and again to wrestle together the strength necessary to get his a** up off of the ground and move, but it just wasn't happening. A moment or two passed of this pitiful scene before Yami felt exactly what he knew he would.
"......."
So after vomitting his guts all over the ground, Yami's hangover seemed to just totally vanish. <********' refreshing!" he belted out into the air of the jungle. The red-headed man began to take in his environment. Thick foliage, tall trees, a bunch of damn bugs all over the place...this had to be...actually Yami couldn't think of where this was. He had absolutely no recollection of where he was or how he got there. "Well ain't that a lesson and a half. That's the last time I drink six shots of whiskey in a minute. Last I recall...I was in Yorknew." That was right. Yorknew City. He had just cashed in taking out some weak beasts, bought two packs of smokes and went to go drink in celebration of a job well done. Obviously he had quite overdone himself and wound up with no idea where he was in a jungle.
First thing on Yami's mind now that he had taken in his surroundings was to light up a smoke. He patted down the pockets on his all black jeans and the jacket he wore and fished out two empty packs of cigarettes. <********' really? Man, this is the shits. First I'm hungover, now I've got no nicotine. What's next? Bears?" A small tug came at the leg of Yami's left pant leg. "Eh?" He looked down to see a young foxbear cub chomping down on the fabric of his pant leg and pulling a bit. "Get the ******** off me you!"
Yami lifted up his leg and stomped back down, smashing the foxbear's head down into the dirt. He didn't kill the thing, but definitely hurt it quite a bit. The cub bounced back and rolled on it's back, whimpering and pawing at its injured head. Two more cubs emerged from the bushes and came running to the side of their fallen sibling. The two foxbears began to grow aggressive, standing in between Yami and the injured cub, snarling and showing their fangs.
"You know, those pearly whites of yours will serve as some nice little stacks of cash. Hand 'em over." Yami kicked into gear right away. This was really the only way he knew how to make money as a hunter; beat up weak things and trade in their teeth, claws, or whatever he could get from them for cash. He dashed forward and straight up punted one of the cubs into a nearby tree. The cub hit the trunk and slump down onto the ground. It was either unconscious or dead, but either way it didn't seem to be moving after that. The other cub that was on guard and waiting for Yami to approach jumped up and clamped its teeth down onto his arm. He thrashed his arm up and down to fling off the cub, but the grip was solid. "That ******** hurts, you little s**t!" Yami, in a rage, threw repeated punches into the head and the body of the cub until it let go, leaving a deep gash in Yami's arm. After the cub hit the ground, it stalled for a moment in pain before reaching up and swinping its sharp claws along Yami's inner left thigh, tearing another deep gash into him. Yami yelled out in pain and then gave another fierce kick to this cub and sent it tumbling across the ground and into a state of motionless.
"This is why I hate cute things. You think they're nice one moment, but they always eventually turn into critters that will just rip your face off if you let 'em. It's better to just kill 'em and be done with it." Over the next few minutes, Yami went through the process of ensuring these cub were dead and using a rock to knock out their top pair of fangs each. After pocketing the fangs, Yami limped his way towards whichever way he felt was the best to hopefully find a town nearby he could patch up at.

It was in the moment of him dripping the acid above the woman did he realize the hissing."Oh boy..."The dog would utter. Understanding the peril he was in. Unaware of his positioning Fango had crouched down in a Acid Monitor den. Looking around himself 1 adult sized monitor lizard came crawling over.
With no real response Fango cowered, knowing that he didn't want to get bitten by their poisonous bite. Shuffling Fango would miscalculate his footing and find himself topsy-turvy in a free fall. Plummeting through the thicket, Fango would hit every branch on the way down. About 30 feet or so, he was currently unaware of the raven haired woman's positioning, but if she hadn't moved from the acid spilling, she'd better move now!
Tumbling hard, Fango's journey would end with a hard knock. His head landing hard against the jungle floor. Stary eyed and dazed Fango would flop over, landing upside down on the ground. Knocked into a slumber, knocked into a dream state.
His eyes would flutter into a hazy scene. Feeling nudged Fango's anger would flare, he hated that. Looking over too see a blue haired baby, and a brunette haired baby, Fango felt the urge to walk over and slap them. Unsteady ground causing him to wobble and stagger. Finally reaching the children Fango would smirk before wacking both of them with his own tiny baby hand? He didn't have time to ponder about his dematurity retrobution was already coming. An incoming smack from the blue haired boy would stun him. Followed by an excruciatingly painful ankle bite launched right at his little feet would cause him to yelp out in pain. "Aaaaaah!!!" a high pitched squeaky yelp would escape him. Now Fango knew something was really going on, BUT HE COULDN'T THINK WITH THIS GODDAMN ONE YEAR OLD CLAMPING ONTO HIM! Bringing his other baby foot down on this brunette females face, he'd force her to release him with a good stomp! "Get offa me Ringo!" The green haired baby would shout at his sister. Of course speaking in baby over the goo goos and the ga gas this was their typical everyday intercourse. "Damn you Fernando!" The blue haired boy would shout, staggering on his baby knees then to his baby feet. "I thought I beat you well enough last time... But it seems that I was wrong." One brother would angerly say to the other. "You're wrong about a lot, Rodrigo!" The babys would say, preparing to meet for battle in the center of their room. Rolling around on the floor the 2 brothers would take turns gnawing, scratching, and slapping each other. From birth determined to see which one of them was the strongest! Terrorizing their room, toys, diapers, and all manner of childhood horrors made their way miss matching all over the room. Out of the frey the youngest of them, the baby girl Merelda. She'd had enough horseplay after getting her faced stomped on. She just like the other 2 damn near hated each other. The 3 children were caught in a 3-way death match. While the twin brothers Fernando & Rodrigo tussled, Merelda remembered her training from their father. "Create opportunity, then strike!" With a moment presenting itself Merelda vaulted off the crib, onto the high shelf. "Ha! You've learned nothing! You're still niños!" the baby girl would say, preforming her signature move. Cannon balling off of the top shelf Merelda would diaper bomb them. Helpless to stop her incoming bomb, the twins would hold onto each other, of course still fighting. Screaming upon her arrival!
"Uuuhhhhh..."Coming to his senses Fernando would feel himself badly dazed, lying now back against the ground."Ah Goddamn it!"He should shout, pulling a dead monitor lizard out from underneath him. It seems he crushed it on the way down. Remembering now what he was doing, Fango growled."You didn't see anything!"He would shout out at the woman... where ever she might be.

Bruxa would continue on her path through the jungle until she stumbled upon something she had never seen before in her adventures. It was trees with giant apples on them. Like apples the size of human heads!'Where have these apples been? I have been living in this forest for many years. I've never seen anything like them before. I must have one or two." Bruxa began to think of a way to climb the tree. Soon the witch did start to build a latter. She got branches from the forest floor and tested their durability under her weight. If it cracked, she didn't use it, if it didn't, she would tie it together with the strongest pieces of vine she could find. After her latter was built, she put it up against the tree and began to climb it. Up in the tree, she used the branches to stand on as she retrieved three apples. Bring them down, one by one, she would have to make something to carry them in. She wasn't done with her hunt by a long shot. She was still on the hunt for that urgent. It was the things that she wanted the most. The purple witch knew that item was a must to her collection.
Burxa would take leaves and twigs and make a basket. It was something that she learned to do from her mother many years ago. It stayed with her even though she disdained her family. It made her bitter to think about them when she had little sentimental moments like this. They had tainted her heart be exiling her and taking her away from the people that made her heart not as cold. Her siblings. Burxa became angry and started ripping the basket apart. After a few minutes, she started to remake it and put her apples in the giant basket.
As Burxa weaved the basket for her apples, she felt something drip and burn the hell out of her scalp. MY HAIR! Looking up at the acid monster, the little lady becomes utterly pissed off. Picking up a large branch she proceeds to climb the tree and beat the beast like a parent beating a child. "You don't have any idea how much work it is going to take to regrow my hair you just carelessly dripped damn acid on! She said continuing to beat it with the stick. Once she was happy and satisfied, she went and collected her apples and continued on her way. She was still pissed off, but she still had a plant to find.
"So have you been lonely without me here? I don't know what it is you've been doing during the day to keep yourself busy. Are you gonna start hunting again?" Xian couldn't help striking up a conversation on their leisurely stroll on their way toward the jungle. He did miss his uncle quite a bit. Ever since his parents died, he's been raised by this man. And up until just over a year ago, Xian had been in his company nearly all hours of the day. The two trained together, ate together, shopped together, but didn't sleep together. They at least had their own rooms. Living with his uncle Hong was difficult and he was strict, but it paid off for Xian to have come this far. He had his Nen powers now and he was a hunter. He'd make a name for himself taking down criminals. Maybe even move on to taking higher paying contract jobs.
"You know, I've actually been getting back into hunting. While you were gone for that year or so, I took out a job. It was an easy one. And since you're as far into this training as you are, I might as well tell you a bit about what I do." Hong reached into his back pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. As they walked, he slowly pulled out a stoge, put the pack away, put the thing to his mouth, lit it, then took about half of the stick in one drag. He began to speak with smoke pouring out from his mouth. "I take private contracts to act as a bodyguard for important politicians. My Nen ability is perfect for it so even though I hate the pompous assholes, I take their payments for my services still. It's a good thing I charge enough to make up for how much I hate my clients! Hahaha!" By the time Yami reached his roaring laugh, the smoke had dissipated and Yami would then take another puff of the cigarette, blowing it out instead of speaking first, this time.
"One day I'll show you my Nen ability, but not until the day we fight together. That's the only time my ability will come into action." Yami sighed and then dragged down the last of the cigarette. He flicked the butt out onto the ground in front of him and stomped on it as he passed. He pulled out another cigarette and began to smoke it immediately after the other was put out. He blew out the smoke of an initial small drag and began to speak. "Basically while you were gone, I took a contract and it didn't go so well. He was low profile so I didn't expect to see any of the top level assassins on the job. I wasn't able to quite handle those guys and they killed my contract. I decided to take a break from the protection contracts and find other work that's more suitable for how rusty I am."
"So you're still gonna work. That's good. I didn't want to be the reason you quit hunting forever. I was kinda worried about that." Xian understood hunting to be a wonderful thing for the hunters. When they couldn't get work, it could be soul crushing. For a hunter like his uncle to give it up for almost two entire decades was a brave thing to do.
"I'm gonna hunt til I die, boy. And if you're anything like your mother, my sister, you're gonna be the same way." Xian had never heard this information before in his life. His mother was a hunter. That really threw him for a loop. What was he gonna tell him next? That he comes from a long line of hunters? That would be too cliche. There was no way he would. Uncle Hong did continue, though, "She was a crazy girl, your mom. Always getting into fights with foxbears when we were kids. She grew up to be one hell of a hunter of beasts. She said she killed a dragon once, but I never believed it."
"Mom!? She killed a dragon! That's....SO COOL!!!" Xian got super hyped. His mom was an even cooler person that he could have ever know. A hunter who could say they killed a dragon was the coolest. Maybe one day, if Xian's powers worked out in that kind of way, he could take down a dragon just like his mother. The normally lazy and slow man was now moving at quick walk, far faster than even Hong expected him to move. Xian was excited to start training so that he could unlock his powers.
It wasn't too much longer that the two would find their way to the edge of Orca Jungle. Xian was pumped and ready to get started. He was going to learn how to use his Nen and see what he was truly capable of. "Hey uncle Hong. Are we going to train at the edge or deeper inside?"" Xian turned around to see Hong had halted a ways back and was puffing slowly on another stoge. He looked over to Xian while we smoked and spoke.
"I'm not going in with you. I'm just going to leave you with some information and you're not going to see me til you're ready to truly master the applications of Nen. I'm sorry that it has to be this sudden." Hong pulled out his phone and pressed a green icon to connect an incoming call. He pulled the phone up to his ear, but said nothing, only listened. He hung up the phone and slid it into his pants pocket and said, "Looks like they want to leave right now. But here's what you need to know. Your power comes from two places and one central place. If you can take your core self and somehow split yourself into two, then you'll maybe find the key you're looking for. That, and there's two presences that I can sense in this jungle. They're not exactly friendly and they're human. Take caution with them." Hong would wave to Xian, turn and walk away with a cigarette in his mouth and him puffing away.
Xian couldn't believe this. All this training and leading up to this supposed final training session between the two, he totally just dips out? What the hell! Xian was about to snap and let out a stream of profanity at his uncle, but he suddenly felt ill. He reared back and dropped to his knees. His vision was quickly faded into nothing but blurs, his stomach was just turning, he felt like he was about to vomit. He didn't. Suddenly the words his uncle said rang through his head. That thing about splitting. His vision when entirely black and then his eyes rolled into the back of their sockets. All he could see was sphere of swirling red and blue energy. It was moving rather fast, but gradually began to slow down. The sphere eventually came to a stop, but the energy inside began to move faster. A crack appeared on the surface of the sphere and quickly shot down the middle of it. All of the energy within instantly separated itself into red and blue each on opposite hemispheres. The hull split into two halves and energy exploded outwards.
At this time, Xian's body began to glow a brilliant teal shine and then split into two halves. Both of the halves sat on the ground and stared at each other, one with a smile, and one with a grimace, who seemed to be annoyed. The happier, more relaxed of the two spoke first. "Well I know who you are, and I'm sure you know who I am. And I assume we BOTH know who we were. So should we introduce ourselves? That we should. I'm Xian. I assume you're Tel?"
"You ********' talk a lot, you know that?" The annoyed one, now officially dubbed as Tel, sighed deeply and stood up. He reach forward and offered a hand to Xian, who readily accepted it and was pulled to his feet. "Yeah I'm Tel, and I wanna know why we took form." Tel made a gesture of banging his chest a couple times as he spoke to show his aggression. Xian stepped back and lifed both hands, gesturing him to calm down a bit.
"Hey, hey, you can be chill. Xian Tel, our whole self just split for the first time. We get our own forms and access to his dormant powers. Let's see. I'm a....I'm an Enhancer. You're a Transmuter, I think. You do the fire thing." Xian walked as he spoke and eventually found a large tree. He jumped up and pulled his body onto a sturdy branch, slinging himself over it and letting out a happy sigh now that he had a place to relax. Tel wasn't quite as calm.
"Well who are we beating the crap out of then, huh!? I want ********' punch somebody!" Tel started throwing out punches angrily and yelling loudly for a long while. The two of them, though from the same origin, couldn't be more unlike each other.
Xian and Tel got used to being themselves for the first time. In the past, their original self had snapped into a rage on people he viewed as evil and enemies (or those who just pissed him off). Now his usual, leisurely self had been embodied into an Enhancer type Nen user and into his angry, aggressive side as a Transmuter. They began to move at Xian's slower pace through the forest for a way toward the center. They couldn't sense people yet and sensing people without Nen would be even harder if they could sense others.
The two came across a thicket of tree, where they heard the sound of someone rustling around in the trees and bushes. Xian and Tel dipped behind trees and each poked their own head out to see the person before them. They seemed to be a young boy who had just slain a lizard of sorts. He couldn't have been one of the threats that uncle Hong had mentioned. Xian approached without caution and spoke out to him while Tel remained in the back, holding steady in case something did go awry.
"Hey there buddy. You having a good time out here in the jungle? You know those foxbears are pretty dangerous and they're all over these parts. Are you sure you're strong enough to handle one of them?" Xian smiled at the boy. He wanted to create the most hospitable aura for him to pick up on. If this went well, then Xian would have succeeded at diplomacy. The boy would see an odd sight of two perfectly identical individuals, one of them seemed to beyond annoyed and was hanging back. The one in front, comforting and warm.
Snickering as his acid trap worked it's magic, the wildboy would try his best to contain his laughter. Perhaps that's what caused him to tumble 30 feet from the high branch he was perched on. Regardless he plummeted down to the earth, head first. Landing upside down Fango would have been dazed for a moment. Discombobulated from the sudden head rush, Fango could barley make out the silhouette of the woman. That's when he'd scream at her, trying to relieve some of the embarrassment of the moment. "You didn't see anything!"Fango would should, clutching his lumping cranium. Hobbling up to his feet, the lost boy had regained enough of his baring to return to his normal angry self.
"GRRRAAAW~!!!"
The self proclaimed king of the jungle would roar, baring his fangs. He'd already remembered telling this city-dweller to scram from his territory.
Everything was his, from the Foxbear caves to the north, to the marshlands of the east, and the badlands of the west, all the way to the flowing Southern river... All of it, all of it was his domain. He'd inherited the land, and he alone had the strength to protect the jungle from the city-folk's "bulldozers".
Growling Fango would swiftly approach the forest intruder."I was the one that burned your hair! It was me!"The latino would announce, he had personality complexs and issues he couldn't stand the Monitor Lizard getting all of the credit for HIS! scheme."And I'll do a lot worse if you don't leave my jungle right now!"The beast would say, crawling around on all 4's, truly a wild specimen Fango had some civility to him, understanding the formalities of a conversation, or more specifically a threat.
That's when he heard more rustling, assuming it was another monitor lizard, or at worst a Foxbear, Fango was already down in a crotch position. Ready for anything the jungle could throw at him. However surprise would forcefully overtake him. Watching a man step through the thicket Fango expected that the least."Ehhh? Another one?! Is he with you?"The wildboy would ask the witch looking woman, he'd only assumed... All city folk look the same to him.
But no matter, Fango was a wild animal, and a predatory one at that.
"Is that a challenge?! What's it to you? a*****e."
He would snarl back toward the new incoming man, territorial as always the animal would bare it's claws, standing about 25 feet or so from the man, Fango wouldn't allow him to step an inch closer.
"I can kill any beast in this region. No matter if it walk on 4 legs or 2."

Xian Tel [ Outlaw Hunter | Level 2 ]
Tel pushed forward now, shoving Xian a bit out of the way as he approached. "Hey look here, pipsqueak. Keep you mouth shut before knock all your ********' teeth out!!" As he yelled this, he spat and growled, but was seemingly cut off from continuing as Xian reached from behind him and grabbed his shoulder. The calmer and more collected of the two stepped forward and looked to the boy once more. He now noticed the woman. She seemed to be missing a clump of her hair. It was actually quite noticeable. Xian only smiled at this and stared at the boy before speaking.
"You know, you should really be a bit more hospitable. You've got a large jungle here and there's plenty of people on this island who may travel through here. I'm sure you can just let folks move on their merry way. Shall we all be on our separate ways now?" As he finished, Xian's eye would move to meet the gaze of the woman if she so chose to look in his direction. He emphasize his last sentence as he did so and hoped that maybe she'd take the opportunity to get away from the boy while she could. From all he could gather was that she was in trouble and this boy had just done something to her. He didn't know what or how, but he knew that he would offer himself to serve as protection if needed. This was just how Xian's self was when not merged. Tel was just like Xian's angry self when not merged, as well.
Bruxa was becoming angrier as her attention turned to the boy. "You really think it is funny to mess with a woman's hair? You and your lizard can go take a hike before I am doing more than beating things with a stick. I did not bother either of you. I am gathering. Keep messing with me and I will come back for sweet vengeance." she looked at the young man that was trying to defend her. It was cute, but she could hold her own. "Thank you, but I was moving along anyway. I don't have time for the likes of them." Putting her picked up her basket again and put it on her head.
She continues on to stumble across the stardust herb. "It is just so beautiful. Used for healing potions. I may not be the nicest person, but this is always useful for my own personal gain." Gently plucking three of the flowers, she places them on the outside of the basket in between the weaved leaves so that they are not crushed by the apples. "I still haven't found what I am looking for. It is becoming dreadful being in this place. I'll just try another day perhaps." Securing her basket back on top of her head, she made her way to the inn. her home was still being built on the side of the island.
