Forums » Looking for RP » (Closed) Caravan Seeking Various Roles (MH-verse)

This RP has found all its Hunters! It's now closed for that position. Other roles still welcome.

PLAYERS:
Do you like Monster Hunter? Do you direly wish you could go on quests to hunt giant beasties? Do you want to pal around with Felyne friends?

You've found the right place then! The Far and Wide Caravan is parked in Val Harbar (before the roving city's fateful move to the Great Desert), seeking fellow hunters and more for their quests and adventures!

I'm looking for any and all Monster Hunter fans to participate in this RP, no matter how fleeting your knowledge of the series is!


I just got into it myself with 4 Ultimate, so by no means am I pretending to be an expert here. I do however have imagination, a 40-hour game file, and Google on my side, so hopefully that's enough to get this show on the road!

Are you interested? Awesome! Reply here or PM me! Easy as that!

Because it just occurred to me to explain, it'll probably run like a lax D&D session. There will be a small character sheet so I can keep track of important character info. Quests can be issued, players can go out and RP those quests, but there will be minimal firm stats/dice usage. Please do refer to elemental damage and/or weapons upgrades, however, if you've got 'em! (Ex: a Hunter with a Light Bowgun that has the Silencer upgrade being played out as having quieter firing sound)

Edit2: Character Sheet is ready to go! You can spiffy up your profiles however you like, but I'd like for everyone to fill out this sheet so I can have a comprehensive, quick-to-grab list of everyone's characters & gear. You can update this sheet as the RP progresses, or ask me to do so for you on my master list (I probably will anyway). If you have questions about the sheet, please ask them! I'll be more than happy to answer.

Seems Interesting! Can i join?

Oop, sure! Are you familiar at all with the Monster Hunter series, and do you have a character in mind you'd like to use for it?

Well, the only thing im familiar with are the weapon types and some of the weaker monsters, though i cant remember the names. As for the character, i really have no idea which character i should use, mainly because they all have some sort of magic and, as far as i know, there's no such thing in the MH universe.

I am more than willing to help you out if your knowledge is lacking, though I may do that via PM's if that's okay with you, just so this thread doesn't get bogged down while it's still looking for players--I'm still awaiting a couple of OoC responses from some other interested parties. *crosses fingers that they get back to me soon!*

I'll definitely be barring magic-usage by players, on that note. I have the RP Finder's controls set to 20% Magic to reflect the elemental powers of monsters & weaponry along with some of the odd effects of decorations (ex: there's a psychic set that can help you pin point large monsters, I believe), but no actual spell-casting will be done by a PC in this RP. I'll leave a spot open for you, but do give the RP and your characters heavy consideration, please! I'd be delighted to help you adapt one of your preexisting ones, if you don't want to make a new character for the RP.

Helmet - None
Chest - Bone Vest

I may not be all that familiar with Monster Hunter, but I would like to learn. I could use Maria. She's a human knight.

Do I need to adapt her into the Monster Hunter setting?

Yes, you'd need to adapt her to the Monster Hunter setting. Unfortunately between now and the last time we spoke, I got a bunch of activity and the spots for hunters filled back up within a day of the new RP Finder+LFRP boards update.

The Caravan IS, however, looking for merchants, medics, another blacksmith, &c.

Maria could be a blacksmith instead of a hunter. I'm sure Cassius could have a role too, as a medic.

I will work on their backstory for the Monster Hunter setting.

Sounds good, Mauve!

Character Name: Hetro
Age: 24
Race: Human (Has Palico partner Issac)
Role (Are you a: Hunter, Medic, Merchant, Palico, &c): Hunter
Primary Role (if Hunter, is your character primarily a Gunner or Blademaster; they can switch back and forth between the two): Gunner
Rank (if Hunter, are they Low, High, or G-ranked? How many stars?) High Ranked (Not gonna go omegaly OP plus I like the High Ranked form of G.Rathian Armour) Um, 3 stars I guess?
Gear (Gunner – if you have more than one set, please just list them out with a comma):
Weapon- Seahorse Bow
Helmet- Golden Lunehelm
Chest- Golden Lunemail
Arms- Golden Lunebraces
Waist- Golden Lunecoil
Leggings- Golden Lunegreaves
Talisman- Dragon Talisman

Gear (Blademaster – if you have more than one set, please just list them out with a comma):
Weapon- Chaos Gunlance (Forgot official name )
Helmet- D. Seltas Helm
Chest- D. Seltas Mail
Arms- D. Seltas Arm thingys
Waist- D. Seltas Waist thingys
Leggings- D. Seltas Leg thingys
Talisman- I think it was a Bishop Talisman or whatever

@Exstriker- I think I told you this in PM's, but your sheet's good to go!

@SINDragon- Hey SIN! Thanks for getting around to this! Unfortunately, it looks like you picked out Golden Lune___ armor from the blademaster set instead of the gunner set. You'd be looking for: Golden Lunehelm, Lunevest, Luneguards, Lunecoat, & Luneleggings. As for the Seltas set, the official names are, in order: Seltas Helm S, Seltas Mail S, Seltas Vambraces S, Seltas Faulds S, & Seltas Greaves S. All of the above are high ranked armors, so in the very least Hetro's rank would be at 4 instead of 3. Low is numbers 1 - 3, High is 4 - 7, then after 7 the game reconfigures the score from a secret tracker and bumps you up appropriately, but I'm not fiddling with that in this RP. Maxing out at 7 until/if I can figure out how to implement the scoring system, which would also allow players to eventually hit G-rank, I think.

Also by chance could you describe what the gunlance is made out of? I can pull up the database site Kiranico and sort out which one you're talking about.


Also y'all've been very good about it, but just so we're on the same page here, I am NOT allowing G-ranked characters for the time being for the above reason. And don't fret, we're almost ready to start even though I'm awaiting Dracon & Mauve's sheets, I promise! Not everyone has to show up at the same time, so I'm willing to let things start even with 2/4 players up to speed. I'm typing up some ground rules and notes, which I'm going to lay out in an RP Discussion topic. You'll be able to ask me any and all questions or comments there. You'll get a link to that in this thread when I'm ready to post it, sometime today. The IC thread is also 100% ready for more IC posts too.

This looks very interesting! But I am not familiar with the series. Without knowing exactly where to look is detrimental to my character designing, but, I believe I would be interested in playing as a merchant if the caravan is not full! I will have a look at the races, and style a character after one of them.

Hiya, Miss! Long time no see! I'd be delighted to have a merchant PC around and about! If you'd like some help on where to get started making/adapting a character, I can shoot you and PM and we can brainstorm privately.

I have been -busy- with my own writings! But it has been awhile. I would love to hear about this series and would love help, as I am completely new to the idea.

Character Name: Darrien
Race (Human, Wyvernian, Felyne, Trovian): Wyvernian
Age: 45

Role (Are you a: Hunter, Medic, Merchant, Palico, &c): Blacksmith
Primary Role: --
Rank: 3 stars

Approved! I'll quit saying you're pending on the first post now.

Heads up though, ranks were for the hunters! That's so I can keep track of how skilled they are. Darrien will be able to make armor for everyone involved, even with the varied ranks all around, so don't worry about that bit.

Ah, sorry! ^^' The number thingy I wasn't quite sure about since I'm already at the top of G rank >.< And actually, we'll just say she uses the Normal Seltas Gunlance. Soon you'll understand what Chaos is xD And I couldn't find the Gunner G.Rathian armour names .-. Sorry! ^^'

S'alright, SIN! I honestly didn't realize Lune___ sets were the Golden Rathian armor, so I'm glad I stumbled over the gunner set for you! I've been using Kiranico's Armor Builder tool to look up everyone's sets, and it has proven to be an amazingly handy tool! It's also a good way to catch up on what I can make when I get far enough in rank. *sloooow hunter is slow*

Are we talking about the Monsieur Gore? It's the first of the seltas gunlances I can see in the list. Pretty badass lookin' thing, and I'm more than willing to allow it.

Edit: Oh right, also do you want to sit at 4 stars(HR4)? You can bump it up to 5, which I imagine will put you equal with Dracon, whenever we hear back from him. I'm honestly kind of liking this range of hunters--the lower ones can learn and grow from the knowledge of the higher ones.

May I join as a medic? Which race is best at doing so?
