MASSIVE ORGANIZATIONAL TOPIC FOR MONSTER HUNTER RP
"Zai why the fuck did you post this on C:R first and not on SP?" Easy. SP wasn't up at the time.
In case you haven't figured it out yet, Monster Hunter is a game series where you hunt giant monsters. I mean GIANT, DANGEROUS, FUCKING AWESOME monsters that will RIP YOU TO SHREDS IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL. And to do this, they will make use of anything in their arsenal to make sure you go down and stay down. Or in their stomach. Or their kids' stomachs. It could go any way, really. If you still have trouble exactly figuring out what all this means...

That will explain EVERYTHING.
Oh, also; Don't fuck with Ironbeard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un_BA0LDgvI
So here's how the RP works. We all start in Yukumo village (No one wanted to do the village in the trees idea. ; ~ ; ) as Hunter Rank 0 (HR0 for short; absolutely no training/not even a hunter yet) OR HR1 (has had training, can take in basic missions.), and we all gradually work ourselves up in the monster hunt to the higher ranks. That's how it is in every Monster Hunter game, let's follow that in the RP.
What's different? This will deal with the monsters themselves: You can RP as the monsters... and you can have them as mounts. Yes, you heard me right. MOUNTS. AS IN RIDING THEM. MAKE THAT MONSTER THAT SPITED YOU IN AN EARLIER GAME YOUR STEED TO PUNISH IT FOR BEING SO HARD. I know which one I'll be riding.
But wait, what good is fighting gigantic monsters of awesomeness without a tool of utter destruction? There's a lot of good examples at the Monster Hunter Wiki right here: http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/MHF3:_Weapons . But for the sake of consistency, we'll be adding a few new types of weapons, just for this RP.
Crossblade- A cross between a Crossbow and a short sword. The weapon is meant to be agile, and can weave in and out of tight situations very easily. But when the going gets tough, the tough gets a fucking blade stabbed right in it's face with a chain to retract it. That's right: you can fire the blade to stab distant objects, and immediately reel the sword or the entire killed/injured animal/monster with it! In fact, the Crossblade is even said to be strong enough to reel up the person wielding it, making it a great tool for climbing. The one drawback is that when the crossblade reels in your blade of firey destruction (Or Icey destruction. Or shocking. I dunno, you tell me. You're the one that adds elemental stuff to your weapons.), you're quite vulnerable for attack.
Knucklers- Forget the idea of those brass knuckles. Those are long gone. What I'm talking about are massive cylinder gloves that eat up your entire forearm, with blades, blunt steel ends, and sometimes even fire or ice at the end of them! Who needs weapons when you have your own fists?! Knucklers are very close range, but they have something a lot of other weapons don't; speed. You're dealing massive amounts of damage with every punch, every combo, every time you slam their head with your fists of fury. Just, uh, keep this in mind; get the fuck outta there when that thing starts to rage.
"GIVE US BACKSTORY ZAI GODDAMMIT RAAAAAAAGE"
You want Backstory? ... Kay. Yukumo village has suffered the loss of their greatest and highly skilled hunter by the hands of Jinouga (http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Jinouga), the lighting beast of the forest. And for over a year, the village has been terrorized by the wolf, having many close calls in the past.
(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100919063309/monsterhunter/images/8/86/Jinouga-Rage.gif)
Yeah, I'd run from that too.
the village has been reaching out for help to various villages, hunters, and even the hunters guild. Will you become a hunter? Or will you continue the onslaught that Jinouga has set before you?

This is amazing. Always wanted to play monster hunter. I'll make a character later.

2 Questions:
1: WAS THAT A FREAKING SABERTOOTHED FLYING DRAGON CAT?
2: When we pick a weapon, can we only use that weapon for the rest of the RP, or can we switch around?
-
1: If you mean the Nargacuga, then yes, sort of. =]
2: You can switch between any of the weapon types, so long as you have the materials to make it.

...Dude, I totally want this game for christmas/birthday.
-
Freedom Unite and Tri are both out now, though I suggest sticking with FU. Tri's too tamed compared to the PSP games. Freedom 3 should be coming out sometime next year, probably summer, maybe early fall.
-
So how is this going to be set up? Separate forum? Just a measly topic? Section on C:R? ={/
-
I was actually thinking Nod's Eden.
-
... I sort of de-adminned myself there.
-
I don't have a PSP or anythig Sony. I've got a Wii and 360.
-
Wait for Monster Hunter Frontier to come out for the 360 then. It has online. 8{D
-
I like the idea... but it might be better to have... well, some more weapons.
-
http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/MHF3:_Weapons
If you're thinking guns, light bowguns have rifles.

Not a MMORPG person. Plus, we don't even know if that's coming to ameruica.

Actually, yes, it is. http://kotaku.com/5457015/monster-hunter-frontiers-debut-360-trailer
And releasing a japanese game for the 360 is a huge mistake. Barely no japanese people own a 360 at all. If you're going to release something on the 360, you HAVE to port it to america for it to make a profit. It WILL come to America.

Did you guys forget we are all friends with Hikaru? lol
-
Ha ha, good point Nis.
-
1: If you mean the Nargacuga, then yes, sort of. =]
I think he meant the Barioth.
-
/me shrugs.
Narga still fits, for the most part.
-
YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYEYS
-
Just a note, Im pretty much not gonna use any humans except for one maybe...Im using monsters. Including Jinouga. :D
Other than that, what Orph said. XD
-
I like the idea.... But is it going to start out here on Shattered, or....?
-

I have no idea.
-
Is it going to be a large thing or what?
-
Still no idea.
/me is shot by various snipers.
-
I can make it if you want. It can be on InvisionFree.
-
I was thinking we could use it to help breathe some life back into Nod's Eden (http://www.nods-eden.com).
-
I'm server banned from NE. :/
-
I want monster hunter so bad. My dad does to. The only difference is he can afford it. And he's kinda stingy.
