Personalities:

Nick is brash, confident, more likely to leap into battle than hold back. Some think she might be better off in the Sun division for their offensive manner, but her fearless attitude has it's own place in the Moon division. She will never hide behind defenses, or scurry around to heal and rescue, she lays down defenses with determination and will charge recklessly into danger to bring others out of it.

On the scheming side of cautious, Cujo tries to keep his hunter out of harm's way, while often exasperated at her recklessness. He prefers a completely different approach, using guerrilla tactics and intimidation to win before the battle even occurs. His wisdom often goes unheeded, but he lends his hunter his strength in the hope she will live long enough to take his advice. Eventually. Maybe.


Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?
She is a tomboy at heart. She was very young when she saw her first Halloween denizen, perhaps a bit too young and a bit too headstrong to truly fear the little ghost drifting through her bedroom. When something creeped under her bed, she shouted the most angry curse word she had ever heard her parents utter, and tried to stomp those unnatural shadows until they disappeared. When she saw dark shapes lurking at school, she was reprimanded for punching lockers and throwing textbooks.

Needless to say, her parents weren't entirely sure what was up with that child. Night terrors and mental illnesses had been ruled out, and until she grew old enough to realize she saw things others didn't, her behaviour was blamed on an overactive imagination.

She grew up playing with boys, who would stop making fun of her when she punched them, climbing trees, running around outside, catching bugs... and kicking those stupid shadows that were trying to make her seem crazy. But the older she got, the more unruly and rebellious she seemed, until finally the normal life around her was just too stifling and too restrictive. She couldn't pretend anymore, the shadows and darkness were everywhere, and she had trouble focusing on anything, let alone the hopes and goals her parents had set for their only daughter.

So when the invitation came to join an elite organization free of those restrictions, she jumped at the first chance she got.


Weapon Ability
Headlights: Death Scream
The hunter holds it over her head and spins it, so it lets out an ear-piercing howl that paralyzes targeted opponents. To anyone else in the area, it is merely painful to the ears, like children screaming mixed with fingernails on chalkboards and raccoons fighting.



Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Grey
Hair Colour/Style: Short and spiked at the back, longer bangs. Blonde in colour, with a fun colour on occasion if she can find it, but this isn't necessary on her art because it might change frequently.
Skin Colour: Pale, but covered in scrapes, bruises, band-aids, etc. She doesn't play gentle! XD
Clothing Style/Colours: The only thing settled is her weapon un-summoned as a black choker on her neck, and the scarf worn in a way that doesn't obscure this. Preferably non-feminine clothing, or something that says "I don't care what you think about my clothing". She does not strictly adhere to dress codes. The scarf and axe handle is coal-black, like wrought iron, and the blade of the axe is pale silver. It has black designs near the hilt that look like curling mist. It has a couple long black ribbons hanging from the top.
Extra: Lots of ear piercings.

Old Refs: Original concept was a glass blade, to represent the yeth hound's... lack of head. XD Hope to revisit this concept if Nick advances any in rank. [Glass Blade 1] [Glass Blade 2]

Thoughts, anyone? <3

People... people... Hard, because she never had too many friends. XD I guess she'd be kinda standoffish until she knew what their deal was, but once they were friends there would be a lot of brofisting and shoulder punching and the like. Strangers would be more likely to receive feigned indifference, perhaps almost to the point of disdain since Nick is more used to standing up for herself than making friends.

It is definitely the weapon howling. :3 I think right now it would be Headlights, or the Mind. I haven't had much chance to use Headlights with my current characters, so I'm leaning towards the latter. Hard to aim when your ears are ringing, yes? XD

Hair colour is flavour of the week. I might go with something light so it's easier to dye and whatnot, but I might just leave it up to the artist. Also I have very little in mind regarding her clothing, so I'd be open to a great deal of things. XD

She probably will have problems with authority. XD She would have grown up with people telling her what to do and how to act in order to be 'normal', so there might be some butting heads and occasions where she needs to be put in her place. But then again, she also has a headless dog whispering cautions in her mind, helping her realize that every sort of freedom has a price, and the freedom to be herself comes with the price of controlling herself. Cujo will provide a different perspective for her to think on.

I will say for sure, the only reason she'll be able to handle being a trainee will be due to her weapon's influence. XD

Adjusting for weapons guidelines, Nick will be taking on an old, rusty, bloodstained iron axe. Still not sure if the handle will be silver or black, although I'm leaning towards wrought iron black.
