Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?
As a rational thinker, the shadows that seemed to congrigate at the edge of Ezekiel's vision made no sense. Even as a child, when imiginations ran wild, there was a certain undeniable wrongness attached to the lingering unknown. Growing up the boy had been on medications, seen specialists, but there was no explanation, and nothing helped. Eventually he learned to keep it to himself, to ignore, but even that was a less than ideal solution.

In his second year at university the young man was approached by man in a bar. He knew things about Zeke that no stranger should, and he promised answers to questions that had been plaguing him since childhood. With no real ties, the choice was simple, even was the young man's perpetual skepticism. He signed up that evening, and had been declared legal dead less than a week later.


Weapon Ability
[Battle Cry] - Storm Bringer - Lagertha gathers up the collected fear and unleashes it in a whirling blast of strong wind.

Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Hazel green

Jeans and a T-shirt aren't acceptable unless paired with a pair of wingtips or nice boots. Kinda like so. For a Jacket, something like this. His scarf color shall be a dark green, or an earthy chocolate color.
Extra: Has a tattoo across his shoulder blades.

Hey Bee! Congrats on winning! biggrin heart

Just a small note, don't forget to change the thread title to Enrollment!


Okay so I actually looked over your quest already and then passed it to Maru for some help, because the reason for him becoming a hunter is pretty over the top and most of it isn't allowed for various reasons.

For starters (quoting Maru): "Without a weapon, TiH creatures look like shapeless shadow blobs to humans! That's why scarelings have to go to school and receive scare training~ they need to learn to form/solidify their Fear. Amityville is a high-ranking school in part due to the pins since the pins help students channel their Fear and whatnot."

Meaning he wouldn't see a skeletal figure or anything even resembling a horseman, which is why all new trainees have said that they've seen shadows as a young child. That sets them apart from normal humans, but there's nothing ever more than that, especially in regards to a Horseman just randomly walking through the human world.

In regards to the figure running the Horseman off / the fight (quoting Maru again): "I don't think it's that easy for an NPC to drive off a horseman... horsemen are the strongest of Halloween characters and quite often -mass murder people-"

tl;dr this reason for becoming a hunter should be toned down a lot to fit within normal hunter guidelines, otherwise it's way overpowered.


One other thing - what's the relationship between Zeke and Lagertha? Will they support each other, or will they hinder each other? It's fine to work things out through RP later and develop things more, but the dynamic between the hunter and their weapon is important / crucial, so just something to think about!

Everything else looks fine! Rp with me when you get him!

The only thing I can comment on is really the lack of any substantial personality information. While single word traits are good, they don't help a great deal when someone is looking at a personality profile. IE- they don't explain how he works alone or under teams, under pressure, how he deals with affection or attention. Things that not only come up often as a hunter, but also are useful when just wanting to start RPs. You mention that he is a rational thinker- to what extent? How would he use that to solve problems? Again, the words are a good base, but lacking any explanations or such, a person can't grasp onto much to build from since then it becomes conjecture.

I'll echo Kuro that having something to delve into the hunter/weapon relationship is really important and while it can change via RP, at the least putting something down now will help others better understand you character.
