Hunter NPC List
This is a list of Hunter NPC's (non-player characters). Players may interact with these NPC's however they wish to. As NPC's die, get old, or need to be replaced, this list will be updated with new Hunter NPC's.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
"Hunter" Wilson (bar/nightclub owner)- "Hunter" Wilson is an old, retired Hunter who is about 50 years old. After he retired from hunting, he built a bar and nightclub called "Hunter's". Opening his doors to the new generation of Hunters, Wilson allowed for a new Hunter safehouse to be built in the abandoned and forgotten fallout shelter underneath his popular establishment. He's a bit gruff, but he's always happy to give Hunters advice or a free drink as they pass through or relax at his place of business.
Dr. Gail Hunter (medic, doctor)- 33 years old, Dr. Hunter is a fairly attractive woman with a clever and open mind. Years ago she performed an autopsy of a decapitated cadaver with "unusually hyper-extended cainines"; a vampire. Intrigued by the unusual skeletal system, she went digging for answers to her questions, and in the process she stubled across the Hunters path. Now she willingly serves in the new Haven as the medic and doctor for the local Hunters.
"Cookie" (cook, confidant)- An old friend of "Hunter" Wilson's, "Cookie" got his nickname because he was working as a short order chef while going to school for a degree in counseling and psychology. When Wilson told him the truth about vampires, lycans, and the like when he offered "Cookie" a job working as the cook for the Hunters, he believed his friend willingly and accepted the offered job. A tall, broad shouldered, and muscular African American man in his late forties, "Cookie" is friendly, helpful, and a great listener. Not only does he keep the Hunters fed while they're staying at the Haven, but he's always there to listen to them talk about their troubles and is an excellent confidant.
"Uncle" [Yoshiro] (mage, researcher)- A very old Japanese man who was trained as a mage, "Uncle" as he is jokingly called by the Hunters is more knowledgable than almost anyone else alive in matters pertaining to the arcane and supernetural. He has a vast library of ancient texts, which he usually turns to to learn about various spells, vampires, lycanthropes, and demons. His commonly heard phrase, "we must do research", has earned him the nickname of "Uncle" from the younger Hunters after the character in the animated Jackie Chan Adventures cartoon. Naturally, the old fashioned elderly man does not find this amusing. He is grumpy, cantankerous, tempermental, and very traditional. His warding spells help to keep demons away from Hunter's bar and nightclub, and the Hunter Haven underneath it.
Ricardo Alverez (gunsmith)- A 35 year old Hispanic gunsmith and firearms enthusiast, Ricardo was easily convinced to come work for the Hunters in the Haven. All they had to promise him was the opprotunity to work with powerful, customized, experimental, and illegal firearms. Ricardo is a true artisan, repairing the Hunters' guns so that they work better than they ever did before, and creating customized marvels of modern firearms technology. However seeing him stroke and talk soothingly to the guns he works on, and his maniacal laughter when he's blowing a target to bits on the shooting range has been known to freak out more than one Hunter.
Marcus Smith (weapon and armor smith, tailor)- Responsible for forging most of the melee and archaic weapons used by the local Hunters, this 42 year old native of London is stoic, serious, and has a completely no-nonsense attitude. He was once saved froma vampire by the current leader of the Hunters in New York City, William Jackson. In gratitude, he came to work for him as a weapon and armor smith. He also is an accomplished tailor, and makes and repairs most of the clothes that the Hunters use in their activities.
"Ace" (guard, bouncer)- A cocky, brash young Hunter, "Ace" serves as a guard for the Haven, and as a bouncer for Hunter's. He is a skilled, highly confident street fighter, and eager to get into a fist fight.
"Queenie" (guard, bouncer)- The other bouncer for Hunter's, "Queenie" is refined, dignified, and a little snooty. She's not actually a Hunter, but does know about them and know about fighting supernatural enemies. She might be small and petite, but is skilled at judo and can easily throw people many times her size and weight.
Jack (guard)- An average guy, Jack is another of the young, inexperienced Hunters who serve as guards for Haven.
"Deuce" (guard)- Another member of the Hunters who stay at and guard Haven.
"Joker" (incognito perimeter guard)- "Joker" is a jester, a funny man, a clown. He is also quite possibly the best of the people who guard Haven and Hunter's against attack. Dressed casually with no noticable weapons on him, he walks around Hunters on a regular basis, patrolling against any attacks by the vampires, lycans, or demons.
Daichi "Dance Master" Jameson (DJ, Hunter)- A 23 year old Japanese American, Daichi's mother was Japanese and his father was an American Hunter and a friend of "Hunter" Wilson's. When his parents died six years ago in a car accident, Wilson took Daichi in and gave him a roof over his head. Since Daichi had a great talent for music, Hunter gave him a job as the nightclub's DJ. From his DJ's booth, Daichi controls most of the interior defenses for Hunter's, and like most of those who work at Hunter's and Haven he lives in Haven.
Father Michaels (priest)- Father Michaels is a middle aged man who grew up as a devout Catholic, serving as an altar boy and a member of the choir before going to seminary to become a priest. He has served the church faithfully for his entire adult life, and has a friendly, compassionate demeanor about him that grants his flock great comfort. He learned the truth about the supernatural darkness in the world two years ago, when he was called to perform an exorcism. Unfortunately it was a true possession, deeply rooted, and the normal methods weren't working. In his research looking for a means to drive the demon out, he was informed by his superiors about the existence of vampires and lycans, and of the fact that there were hunters out there that combated the darkness. He sought out and joined the Hunters, serving as their spiritual advisor and provider of holy water and blessed objects.
Stephanie Lynch (mechanic, driver)- A young woman born and bred in the rural areas of southern Misissippi, Stephanie grew up working in her father's garage, servicing everything from cars and motorcycles to farming equipment and crop dusting planes. In school, she excelled at shop, metal shop, welding, and auto shop, showing a real flair for vehicle repair and customization. She also started taking part in motocross races and street races, becoming an accomplished stunt driver and daredevil. After she graduated, she was offered a job in a New York garage, but it turned out to be a chop shop so she left. Stuck in New York without a job or place to live, she was desperate for work. When Hunter found her while looking for a new mechanic, she leapt at the opprotunity and thus became a part of the New York Hunters Group.
Russell Whitfield (guard)- Former Army Ranger, Russell served in Operation Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqui Freedom before being discharged by the military. Still in his early thirties and looking for work suited to his particular skills, he listed himself as a mercenary and was hired by William Jackson to replace some of the Haven guards that they'd lost during the Lunite attack. He exemplifies the best qualities of a soldier, holding true to the values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage.
Roxanne Wallace (guard, martial arts instructor)- Roxanne is a skilled and renowned martial artist with several championships under her belt. She is a second dan in Shokodan karate, judo, akido, and jijitsu with a vast knowledge of other martial art disciplines including kickboxing, kendo, staff fighting, ninjitsu, Shaolin kung-fu, and the highly effective Krav Maga style used by the Israeli special forces. She was also hired by the Hunters to replace some of the guards lost during the conflict with the Lunites, and also serves as a martial arts instructor, teaching the Hunters better forms of unarmed combat and self defense.
Adam Swift (guard)- Adam worked in a Wild West show, doing tricks with revolvers and other handguns. He's an excellent gunslinger, and seems to model himself after the famous gunslingers of the Old West such as Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, and Wild Bill. Usually he's aloof and broody, keeping himself seperate from other and adapting a dark persona. Like some of the other new addittions to the Haven staff, he's been hired to replace the guards killed during the fighting with the Lunite cult, and he does his work well.
Yoriko Obato (infiltrator, spy)- An industrial espionage agent from Japan, Yoriko has quite the reputation as an accomplished cat burgular and sneak thief. Many believe that she was born and raised in one of the hidden ninja villages rumored to still exist in the hills of Japan. It is also said that there is no building she can't sneak into, no safe she can't crack, and no security system she can't slip past. Unfortunately for her she was caught on camera during her last heist, forcing her to flee to the United States where she joined the Hunters in exchange for sanctuary and a steady pay check. She provides information by infiltrating enemy buildings and encampments, giving the Hunters intel that they couldn't get otherwise.
Morris "Moondog" Greenberg (guard, head of security)- "Moondog" is a former biker who got into the protection business, acting as a bodyguard for those who need one and could afford his services. As such he is an expert in all aspects of security and is knowledgable in the design, installation, maintainence, repair, and use of security systems. He is a large, tough, and physically intimidating man and is very stoic and serious. He was contracted to rebuild the security systems for Haven, and has been kept on as a guard and the new head of security for the Hunters base. Furthermore, as a former bodyguard, he is very protective of his employers, "Hunter" Wilson and William Jackson.
Roberta Cain (researcher, scientist)- Roberta is a former field scientist, highly knowledgable about biology, the physical sciences, and chemistry. During her research, she encountered the supernatural and was laughed out of the scientific community for her findings. Now she seeks to prove the existence of supernatural creatures using scientific methods, locating and joining the Hunters in order to pursue her studies. She refuses to believe that vampires, lycans and such are truly supernatural in nature, and is constantly searching for a scientific explanation for their existence. She helps the Hunters by providing scientific research and mixing chemical compounds.
Brandon Cross (engineer, technician, computer programmer)- Brandon is barely out of his teens but is already a technological genius. He can hack any computer system, construct any sort of mechanical device, or handle any sort of technology; he once built a fully functional robot using only a toaster, an electric pencil sharpener, an acid battery, and a belt sander. He was recruited straight out of college by "Hunter" Wilson and now serves the Hunters as their mechanical engineer, technician, and computer programmer/hacker.
Elliot Klein (field medic)- Elliot is an EMT and former search and rescue medic who was a friend of Dr. Gail Hunter's back in medical school. He joined the Hunters by Gail's request after she realized the need for addittional medics in Haven, as well as the nescessity for someone who could provide medical aid out in the field. He's the one out on the front lines, patching the Hunters up when they get injured.
