»» The hunters are investigating the death of an entire hunter base in Chicago HERE
»» Many hunters have retired since the decline in supernaturals
»» The hunters have demolished the vampire league and werewolf pack
Led by Requiem, the current belief pushed upon the hunters is that ultimate extinction of all magic and supernaturals is a must to keep humans and the city safe in whatever means a hunter deems necessary. No matter the age or good morals a person has there is little to no code of honor of what a hunter can get away with in terms of violence.
The New York City hunters was founded by Shadow Hunter Valcry. She helped forge the path forward for hunters to become what they are now. During Valcry’s reign there was a mysterious fire that burned down the entire base, after Valcry was never heard from again. Mina then succeeded Valcry as Shadow Hunter pushing more missions onto her hunters and rebuilding the base to the bunker that it is now. She recruited a vast amount of hunters and badges began to be given out to those who advanced in their jobs. One year there was a decrease in hunters and Mina suddenly stopped showing up altogether, no one is exactly sure what happened to her.
Requiem succeeded Mina and was the first Shadow Hunter to not have officially been next in line. He took over after the hunters dwindled in numbers and invented new weapons to help keep his hunters safe. Currently he has made every weapon and tool in the weapon bank. He also introduced the concept of familiars creating a collar that would be placed around a supernaturals neck and shock them into obedience. Thus allowing supernaturals to enter into the hunters base for the first time. Thanks to the advancements in technology and supernatural backup the vampire league and werewolf pack has been successfully eliminated leaving only the rogues sprawled out throughout the city.
GUIDELINES
• The mission must be completed to get points (you will get 25 points for attempting it though!)
• Don't forget to assign a roleplayer to be the monster described in the thread
• This is meant to develop and explore your characters feelings and motivations so don't forget to have fun and enjoy the story!
A small group of humans have been spreading semi-accurate rumors about the hunters, including their existence and growing numbers. While they aren't being taken seriously by other humans, the supernaturals are listening in. Your job is to find where they're learning these things from and shut them down, peacefully if possible.
REWARD: 35 points
With more hunters acquiring familiars, the demand seems to have increased. In an effort to gain more familiars a team of you have set off to try and capture some supernaturals, but it seems you’ve bitten off more than you can chew. Will you get away, slay, or effectively capture the supernatural back to base?
REWARD: 40 points
There is said to be a forest where people see those who have disappeared in their lives, the people they have lost. It's also said that many take their lives after; perhaps it's a death omen. You need to check it out; who in your lives have died? Disappeared? Will you get closure from this, or find yourself committing the same atrocious acts those before you have done?
REWARD: 30 points
There's a creature out there, rumored to be able to force people to 'relive' their lives, feeding off their second timeline. The group searches for the creature, to have one of the members fall victim to the reverse. Your group has to work together to send them back and force them to change their minds. Reminder: they will be living the best versions of their lives, where they have lost nothing. What can you do to make them want to return to reality again?
REWARD: 30 points

DRAINER RIFLE: Can take out someone’s power temporarily (Cannot work on a species that is one of the two most highest point rank). This gun can work on humans as well. If used on humans they are likely to pass out or feel weak. It cannot kill. Because it is a rifle it is hard to use in close combat, but is also good at being use in close range. It is not a bullet so much as a blast of power that cancels out supernaturals magic. Because of this the blast can sometimes get jammed in the barrel and cause complications.
DAMNATION: These are prisons carefully made that can hold supernatural beings by defusing their power within the Damnation room. It is an entirely white, circular room that is the size of a cell. Familiars are commonly kept in them.
OBEDIENT COLLARS: Although they don't alter the mind to make someone obedient they are highly powerful collars that can go to high voltages to keep unruly captive supernaturals in their place. Equipped with a tracker they are laced with high quality materials enough that even a supernaturals strength couldn’t break. Supernaturals who have the power of electricity or can change form often require more enhancements to their collar and are more likely to get away. This is why demons are unable to be captured because of their ability to mess with electricity signals. The collar can come off with a certain password. The password only appears by their handlers voice thumb print.
FLASHLIGHT: A device that looks like a flashlight, it is capable of identifying a species and their powers. The device must be shined directly into their eyes and a screen at the base of the flashlight will display the results.
POWER EXTRACTOR: Is a powerful hand held gun that can drain any supernaturals power away and is the better version of the drainer rifle. Few hunters have it because few are correctly made. This gun is capable of keeping supernaturals at bay longer and unlike the Drainer Rifle can severely hurt humans, but cannot kill.
ELIMINATOR RAY: A ray that is attached to a ceiling in a special room located at different areas of the base. A table is usually set below it with straps. The ray is directed at a trapped supernatural and is turned on directly above them extracting their supernatural DNA from them. This will turn them to a human state. This stripped DNA can be stored or destroyed. (Must have roleplayers permission to use this on their character) It can also take away part of their power if the process is interrupted. The eliminator will kill a demon or angel if used on them. Although it's an amazing machine it rarely works correctly.

FINLEY CORBETT username
They said he couldn't make it. From a long line of esteemed hunters, Finn seemed out of place. He's constantly smiling and laughing even when there's nothing to laugh about. He inherited none of his parents' quick thinking skills as he rarely paid attention and lacked common sense. Huge risks just seemed more interesting to him. His parents used to be major hunters, with smart tactics that almost always captured their prey. However, once he was born, they stopped their hunting to take care of him. They gave him the world: spent all their attention on him and rarely took on missions. When he became trainee age, they thought everything would go back to normal. That was before they realized Finn wasn't the prodigy they were hoping for. He never seemed to take things seriously, and he didn't take after the family tradition of knife wielding. Cuts were more likely to be found on himself than the target. He obeyed orders perfectly...until he got bored of them. And whenever he strayed from good advice, he'll most likely be found caught in the middle of a bad idea. Some say he watered down the family name and turned it into a joke. Some go far to say his parents left him because they were ashamed. In reality, his parents thought it would be best to leave him to grow independent, so they moved to Europe and left him in the states. Now he's left to carry the family legacy all by himself which made him worry more than he's ever done before. Although he was a lazy trainee, he's practiced hard on his knife skills and finds unconventional solutions to his problems. His parents still don't think he's up to par, but he isn't hunting for them anymore—he is hunting for himself.

FREYA WINTERS insanity
Freya is not like most hunters. Most hunters, regardless of their age, have an interest in wiping out the supernatural creatures that live among them, trying to protect humanity by killing the creatures that could cause harm. She likes to take a very different approach. She likes to find the very thing that makes the monsters tick. She wants to get down deep into their very being and figure out what it is that makes them something other than a human. To what end? Well, it may be a clinical curiosity, and it may be a desire to fix the poor beasts of their inhumanity. Nobody really knows, and she herself isn't very keen on sharing her reasons. It is very well known, however, that this young lady gets quite the temper when she is denied the chance to properly study a new monster, going so far as to threaten the one who killed them. That being said, she's not a terribly violent person, and she doesn't seek to cause harm to anyone. This makes her a mediocre hunter, at best, but she's still an excellent investigator. When given a new species to learn about and understand, she tends to let loose, risking everything up to and including the life of her precious specimen. She often responds to a specimen's death in a detached way, viewing it as a weak specimen instead of any cruelty on her own part. In her eyes, every monster is just one piece to a bigger puzzle, and she likes to piece them together in whatever way works best. She has honed her artistic skills, being quite adept at drawing the humanoid body. More specifically, she likes to draw the bodies of those creature that she's allowed to investigate. Her favorite species to inspect are vampires and werewolves because they have regenerative abilities that fascinate and thrill her to no end. As for what drove her to this life? Well, she was an orphan, and when she found out that there was more than humans, she wanted to know more. She found her own way to the hunter society, and the rest is history, so far as she's concerned. She doesn't view any single person as a parent figure, instead considering most of the other hunters and huntresses to be her siblings, aunts, and uncles, even going so far as to refer to them as such in an absent minded way, even as she called herself 'the hunters' orphan'. Most hunts are done with other people, due to her being not so great at such things.

KACE DROIT houdini
Kace was never the golden child. He wasn't anyone's pride or joy; no one's reason to smile. He had a difficult childhood, seeing as his father, Andrew, passed away in a car accident shortly after he was born, leaving his mom draining bottles to numb the pain. While he'd never outright confess that his mother neglected him, he'd have to admit he'd been left out in the cold a little too much for comfort. Things changed somewhat when his mom started dating a man named Chris. Maybe he laughed a little too loud all the time and refused to look at him, but because of him, his mom didn't drink so much, so it was fine. Feelings only last for so long, however, as Kace was beginning to learn. Of course, when he'd heard he was going to be a big brother, he was ecstatic. He wouldn't stop smiling nearly all week. But he'd begun to notice the little giveaways that indicated Chris wasn't as happy with him being a part of the family. He claimed he was too quiet for a kid, that his eyes creeped him out, that he behaved like a surly teenager even though he had yet to hit his preteens. Most false accusations, of course, but it didn't really matter to his mom. Kace began to be chastised for things he had no knowledge of, or for blunders he didn't commit. There was never any physical harassment, but he would be denied meals, depending on the severity of the accusation, and even locked in a closet for hours on end. Which is why he's uncomfortable in small spaces and the dark. It was tough, but he tried to behave better. His brother was born a few months later, and after seeing him for the first time, Kace swore to himself to being the best older brother he could possibly be. Not long after his brother was born, his mom and Chris got into a heated argument, which resulted in the latter walking out the door for good. Kace couldn't help but feel slightly relieved. Even if he wasn't the best behaved, being punished for things he didn't deserve was really wearing down on his mind. For the next several years, things continued on much the same as they’d been before. Kace took it upon himself to continue cleaning up after his mom. He also took care of his brother, feeding him, helping with homework, giving him baths and tucking him into bed. He even walked him to and from school. Despite his home life being awful, Kace excelled in school. He eventually received his high school diploma at the age of seventeen, but decided against going to college because he wanted to continue studying on his own, and keep watch over his brother. It was because of his decision he was subjected to one of the worst arguments he'd ever been in. His mom blamed him, accusing him of doubting her parenting skills after he'd turned out the way he had. She went so far as to call his brother an "unnatural freak" that "deserved every punishment he'd never gotten", which was how Kace found out that Chris had been a witch, and that his younger brother would take after him. Kace snapped that night. He packed up his things and took his brother with him, ending up in a small apartment in New York that the wage from his new job barely covered.

ALIK IVANOV houdini
Alik was born and raised Russian, living in Moscow until he turned seventeen. He was raised by his grandparents because his father died and his mother didn't want him. Although his grandparents heavily enforced traditions when he was young, Alik's interest dwindled with his discovery of the internet. From the age of eleven, he was constantly researching things. It was a place for him to learn about other cultures and languages, and it was largely because of the internet that he was able to form his own opinions and values. Despite all this, he managed to retain many Russian mannerisms, such as his initial standoffish behavior and stereotypical stubbornness that his people are associated with. When he turned sixteen his powers started developing, giving both him and his grandparents a huge shock. His grandfather wanted to throw him out of the house at first, but his grandmother protested, and so he eventually settled on ignoring Alik. His grandmother was always supportive, helping him discover new things he could try and keeping him from jumping off of buildings experimentally. In the next two years he'd all but mastered his capabilities at that point in time, although he was limited to practicing at night or in abandoned places. At the same time his grandfather had passed away, and though Alik was saddened, any connection he'd once had was gone after he'd learned of his powers. His death prompted his grandmother to go to America, bringing Alik with her. It wasn't until after they'd settled that Alik learned they'd immigrated there for his sake. His grandmother had known he'd wanted to live there for a long while, and decided to live out her last years with him in New York. She passed away shortly after he turned nineteen, leaving him with an apartment and her love. For a year he lived there relatively peacefully, and it wasn't until after he was twenty that he met his first hunter. He hadn't even known that they truly existed until the night he was caught practicing his ability under what he'd thought was an abandoned bridge. He'd been captured and forced to work as a familiar for the proxy of hunters.
