Welcome to Gaia! ::

Location Idea: Ironcrest Penitentiary
Just outside the main city is Ironcrest Penitentiary, a maximum security prison that houses some of the most heinous criminals throughout the country. Security is tight, with several security checkpoints that need to be passed before one can even enter the reception area of the prison. Protected by three separate 40 foot iron walls surrounding the outer perimeter, the prison is designed in such a way that there is only one direct path for entering and exiting. Each of the walls has its own separate security checkpoint before one can enter the main prison facility. Each cell is equipped with state of the art suppression technology, and the facility is nigh inescapable without extensive planning and coordination from outside sources.

Location Idea: Central Yorknew Bank
The biggest, most popular bank in Yorknew. The Central Bank is also a popular choice for Hunters, as it is known to have the tightest security measures for ensuring the safety of one’s personal information and personal funds. The building itself is a marvel of architectural design, built almost entirely of beautifully polished marble with a classical Roman inspired exterior design with authentic Corinthian pillars. The interior is vastly spacious and has multiple floors to suit your every need. Hunters have their own floor on the bank, which can only be accessed by showing the attendant your Hunter ID.

Location Idea: Arthur Square Shopping District
Spanning an area of ten city blocks and across five different streets, Arthur Square is one of the largest shopping districts in the city. Featuring a variety of shops ranging from small luxury boutiques to sizeable chains, one can find almost anything that any normal person would need – clothing, furniture, food, etc. At night, after the stores themselves are closed, night market vendors tend to set up shop in the area, making the Arthur Square Shopping District an almost 24/7 area for people to buy and sell goods.

Location Idea: La Rhonde
If fine dining is what you’re looking for in the city, then look no further. La Rhonde is a world famous restaurant owned and operated by the Hunter Association. Every week, the restaurant cycles between chefs/kitchen staff, and will feature cooking from world class Gourmet Hunters. The only requirement to be featured at La Rhonde is to be at least a one star Gourmet Hunter. All meals at La Rhonde are omakase style based on the chef’s inspiration, and each meal is paired with a different alcoholic beverage. A meal at La Rhonde typically starts at J500,000 at minimum depending on the Chef’s fees and the cost of ingredients, but historically it is not uncommon to see prices as high as J2,000,000. Reservations must be made months to years in advance, depending on the featured chef.

Location Idea: Mary’s Diner
A quintessential part of Yorknew City. Mary’s Diner has been there since god-knows-when, the food isn’t terrible but it isn’t fantastic either, and the coffee always seems to taste kind of burnt, but something about that diner atmosphere and the kind waitstaff makes everything taste that much better.

Location Idea: Seven Lions District
The black sheep of Yorknew, with a rich history that is overshadowed by its current state. Seven Lions District is a sizeable area of Yorknew that people try their best to forget about. Nothing good ever happens there – the streets are overrun with delinquents, and crime runs rampant through this part of the city, to the point where the police have little to no control over the situation and have resorted to allowing its inhabitants to essentially operate above the law, so long as nothing spills out into the surrounding neighborhoods. Most people who are living here aren’t doing so by choice, but they don’t have the means to relocate due to how inexpensive housing is. Many apartments and homes are essentially rundown and overrun by squatters and the homeless.

Location Idea: Yorknew University
Located right in the heart of Yorknew is one of the country’s most prestigious institutions. The campus spans seven city blocks, with each block having its own building dedicated to one of the many departments. Offering both undergraduate and graduate level degrees, the university has a 5% admission rate, and has graduated many famous people from actors, to laywers and doctors, to even two- and three-starred Hunters.

Location Idea: Soldago Headquarters
Built at the base of the Soldago mountain, this is one of the few Hunter HQs that exist in Rokario. On the outside, it looks like a simple welcome center for unsuspecting hikers wishing to travel up the mountain, but upon presenting one’s Hunter ID, access will be granted to the interior facilities that are built on the inside of the mountain – one of the most heavily fortified facilities that the Hunter Association owns. Many Hunters operating out of Rokario will touch base here. The inside features many offices for the Association administrative staff, and on the underground levels the HQ has state-of-the-art training facilities. There are several guest rooms for Hunters to stay in, but they aren’t the most comfortable of rooms and are very minimally furnished.

Location Idea: Bilgai Desert
A large stretch of desert terrain located in central Rokario. It’s the desert that prevents most of the population from traveling extensively throughout the country. The terrain has often been described by the population as ‘No Man’s Land’ – hyperthermia and dehydration are major risks of daylight travel, and hypothermia and frostbite are equally major risks of nighttime travel. Very rarely one may come across a desert oasis with fresh water, but one is five times more likely to die from hyper/hypothermia before they’d ever find one randomly. The desert is also home to a variety of beasts – any and every beast that prefers hot climates may be spotted here.

Name: Silvertip Scorpion
At three inches in length, the silvertip scorpion is one of the most venomous predators one can find in hot climates. They are generally quite territorial and will not hesitate to sting anyone that gets too close for comfort. Silvertips are one of the few scorpion species with venom potent enough to kill humans.

Sting - [ Point Cost = 10 Stamina ]
Direct injection of silvertip venom is known to cause excruciating pain, followed by rapid paralysis and ultimately death if not treated within five minutes. Treatment is symptomatic in nature, but damage can be reversed with rapid administration of antivenom.
Items Dropped
Silvertip Venom [ J50,000 ]
A potent venom that is capable of killing humans, even in small doses. If extracted properly from the silvertip scorpion’s venom sac, one could sell it for a fair price on the black market.

Name: Gemini Cobra
The gemini cobra is a two-headed serpent found only in hot climates and desert terrains. They typically reside deep within the sand, but during daylight hours will breach the surface and bask in the heat. Gemini cobras can grow to be 8m in length, and are natural predators of sand sharks. They are often migratory and travel in large groups. Their venom, though potent, is generally not fatal in humans. If bitten, the venom will cause excruciating pain via activation of pain receptors, tricking the body to think it’s dying for hours.

Techniques
Bite – [ Point Cost – 5 Stamina ]
If bitten by the cobra, fatality is rare – typically the venom of a gemini cobra is more of a pain experience, and through activating all of the pain receptors in the body will put the body into a state of crisis. For desert inhabitants, to be bitten by the Gemini Cobra is a rite of passage.
Items Dropped
Gemini Cobra Venom [ J50,000 ]
If conventional torture methods don’t work, you should try Gemini Cobra Venom. Nothing breaks one’s spirit and morale more than what feels like an eternity of indescribable pain.

Name: King of Cobras
A very rare monstrous serpent that is known to roam the deserts, but only ever appears at night due to its warm-bloodedness. Sightings are typically rare, but the King is described as a 50m long beast with a mouth capable of completely engulfing a human in a single bite. Its fangs are 4 feet long.

Snakeskin – [ Point Cost = 50 Aura ]
Throughout the fight, the King is constantly regenerating. It’s old cells are being pushed out, creating a thin veil of skin that can act as somewhat durable, protective armor. After 5 posts, the King’s body is fully regenerated and the armor will completely coat its body, which can be shed at command or destroyed via direct attacks.
Items Dropped
King of Cobra Fang [ J2,000,000 ]
A prized collector’s item, akin to an ivory tusk.
King of Cobra Skin [ J1,000,000 ]
The skin of the King can be fashioned into accessories and clothing,
Blood of the Cobra King [ J500,000 ]
Herbal hunters are well aware of the health benefits of the Cobra King’s blood. One of its major benefits is its actions on fighting hyperthermia and dehydration when venturing through the desert. If made into an elixir or gel capsule and taken periodically, the negative effects of the desert during the daytime can be avoided.

Name: Santo Cultist Scout
In the cult of the Magus Santo Maximus, scouts are tasked with scouring the desert in search of a fresh oasis, a necessary piece in the summoning of the MSM. Scouts undergo rigorous training and learn to live on very little resources in order to sustain themselves as they traverse the desert. Once an oasis is found, the scout will alert the priest via a cult beacon, which then initiates the pilgrimage.

When four devotees use the blessed sanctuary technique in tandem, a wide area of protection can be created.
Items Dropped
Devotee Tongue [ J250,000 ]

Location Idea: Jupoli Rehabilitative Facility
Located in eastern Rokario is the country’s foremost medical facility. Those who can afford treatment and are suffering from chronic or acute life-threatening illnesses will often go here for the best quality of treatment the country can afford. Built and designed to mirror the city plan of a small village, the facility is comprised of many different buildings - each with a medical sub-specialty, and includes two separate residential districts: one for all the staff, and one that serves as an outpatient clinic that is fully staffed 24/7. Celebrities who seek treatment but in a more peaceful environment tend to choose the Jupoli Rehabilitative Facility rather than world-famous hospitals like St. Agnes.

Location Idea: Zho Work Camp
Known as one of the harshest prisons in the world, the Zho Work Camp is home to many criminals of the Rokario District. Located in literally the middle of nowhere somewhere in the snow-capped mountains, the harsh terrain of its surroundings make escaping almost impossible due solely to the fact that once you’re out, there’s really nowhere to go. Security is therefore relatively lax. Most of the prison’s attention is turned instead to the slave drivers who monitor the prisoners’ work. Prisoners are forced to work 18 hour days, are fed the bare minimum to let them keep working, and are allowed only 20 minutes of total break time every day. The work camp produces most of the country’s goods.
