1.- Well, you play as them.

2.- I didn't know they came up with HAs or Styles. Smart thinking for them.

(Pretty much anything related to playable character).- Boy here we go, fanfic comment time. Back when Banned posted that comment about hunters, I decided to give my hunter a backstory, for fun. I'll try to keep it short, but here goes:

My character was a criminal that had to become a hunter to escape justice. A murderer, to be exact. But "almost" in self defense. She schemed the death of one of her own family members for a reason she believed to be just. But then, things got out of hand. Four Guild Knights were sent for her, so she had to eliminate those as well. So one death turned into five, and thus she was forced to leave her homeplace in order to became a hunter as quickly as possible. Luckily for her, she wasn't found.

She quickly learned the ways of hunting, some would say she was gifted for it. She found Guild Lance to be her preferred weapon, as it fitted her aggresive style, but also allowed her to switch to a defensive position when needed. She also used Adept Hammer and Striker Bowguns as well. She often uses mixed armor sets, although sometimes uses full sets as well. She likes armors to not cover her face, because she finds the restriction of the neck and eyesight to be too much of a hinderance - And uses her lance to protect this weakness accordingly.

For her G-Rank urgent quest, she had to hunt a Stygian Zinogre. Although she was prepared for it, her objetive turned out to be extremely intelligent. He recognised her unarmoured head, and headbutted her shield arm away before pinning it under his claw, then he raked her face, literally clawing away her right eye. In a primal attempt to survive, she thrusted her lance forward, the sudden burst of strength making the Zinogre topple in shock. She then retrieved her shield and in a in a wounded fit of desperation, managed to slam it into the Zinogre's head with enough strength to crack his skull.

To this day she wears an eyepatch to hide her wounds. Even after losing an eye due to not wearing a helmet, she still still refuses to wear armor that covers her face, and this has led many to criticise her stubborn nature... earning her few friends. She only abandons her grim, silent nature to asservate an uncessarily blunt or sarcastic comment. Despite all her shortcomings, she still has a few associates and companions - even if it's hard to say if she really appreciates them or uses them just for her own benefit. Sometimes she is known by the title of "The Masterless" much to her chagrin, for she prefers her name and nothing more.

5.- Now, in real life, would I be a hunter? No thanks, I choose life.

7.- I guess it did.

12.- This comment is already long enough.
