1. Yup! What's not to like? Beside those damn Hellhunters...

2. The backstory about the Five incident is really cool. Goes to show how the regulations from the guild were shaped.

3. The backstory my mind always goes back to is that my hunter is me who woke up one day in the world of MH, which I've taken to calling the Hunter's Realm. Just has such a steriotypical anime vibe to it, which makes me chuckle.

4. Reason to become a hunter? How could you not? The world of MH is full of so many awesome monsters and unexplored lands, you'd be a fool to not become a hunter or an explorer or a Guild scientist. How can the civilians of MH not be curious about what's over that mountain, or past that ocean?

5. To be blunt, its at the top of my "If you could enter any fictional world" list.

6. I would be a general hunter. I don't take well to that much responsibility, so I would be a really laidback hunter who's just there to explore the world and experience the thrill of the hunt. That's not to say that I can't get serious when I need to. And any poachers better watch out. I have a really annoyingly strong sense of justice.

7.Nope!

8. Go big or go home! Ceadeus, Jhen, Dala, Yami, Lao, Shagaru. Something big. Something that is a threat. An army of Deviljho? Bring it on! Temmie's riding vespoids? No. That's suicide.

9. Through the generations, my weapon of choice has been GS --> SA--> CA But I can use almost all weapons pretty well. But my current favorite set is Shah armor with my favorite CA; Schwarzschild. I love this CA. The design is perfectly simple and the para ailment with awaken is just awesome. And wellness always helps.

10. The Basilisk. In some European folklore, the Basilisk is a type of dragon that is born when a toad sits upon the egg of a hen on the night of a full moon. The basilisk's true form is still unknown, as it takes on the forms of other dragons. The only constant is that the breath of a basilisk has the ability to "petrify" its victims. This is done through paralytic toxins in the creatures saliva, which it can either spit distances or transfer through respiration in the form of vapor. My hunter would be the same. A hunter with many armors to fit any situation. And I love para weapons, so I would use them.

11. Heck yeah! A hunter is nothing without a hunting party. Hunting in a group is way more fun. Sharing the experience of the hunt, watching as somebody makes a silly rookie mistake, tossing people onto the monster to get a mount. And my personal favorite is fighting giant monsters in a group. The Shah cutscene looks so much more epic with a full party. And a sandship feels empty when its just you and two cats.. And yeah, why not find love? A kickass husband/wife hunting duo? Or one hunter and one guild scientist? Hunting is better with people, hunting is even better with friends you trust. Hunting with your significant other? Either awesome or extrememly infuriating, but in the setting that this question asked, which feels like more of a "if it were real" question, i'm sure its awesome having somebody you trust that much backing you up.

12. #3 is paralyzed and then eaten by vespoids. #2 is probably crushed by something massive. Aaaannnnd #1 awful way to die as a hunter iiiisssssssssss...

Plesioth hip-check

Because I believe that the hitbox would be that broken in fake reality. And you wouldn't even see what had killed you.
