HUNTERS
There are Four types of Hunters Dungeon Hunters, Blacksmith Hunters, Culinary Hunters, and Alchemist Hunters.
Dungeon Hunters ⚔️
Skilled adventurers specializing in navigating and conquering dungeons. They possess combat prowess, strategic thinking, and knowledge of dungeon environments to efficiently clear these perilous locations. Dungeon Hunters collect valuable loot, rare materials, and monster carcasses as a way of earning money by selling them or using them to upgrade their gear. Dungeon Hunters enjoy the thrill of overcoming formidable challenges within dungeons.
Blacksmith Hunters ⚒️
Craftsmen who harness their awakened abilities to excel in the art of blacksmithing. These Hunters are adept at forging and enhancing weapons, armor, and other equipment. Their skills contribute significantly to the enhancement of the overall strength and capabilities of fellow hunters, providing essential support to those on the front lines.
Culinary Hunters 🍴
Masters of the culinary arts among the awakened. Culinary Hunters utilize their abilities to enhance ingredients, create extraordinary dishes, and provide nourishment with unique, awakened-infused flavors. Beyond satiating hunger, they contribute to the well-being and performance of their comrades by crafting meals that offer various buffs and benefits.
Alchemist Hunters 🧪
Individuals with a profound understanding of alchemy and its awakened applications. Alchemist Hunters harness their powers to transmute materials, create potent potions, and unveil the secrets of mystical elixirs. Their expertise extends to healing, enhancing abilities, and manipulating the properties of substances for both combat and utility purposes.
HANDLERS
There are three types of Handlers Combative, Supportive, and Meta.
Combative Handlers ⚔️
Handlers with combat-oriented abilities, specializing in actively engaging alongside hunters on the battlefield. Combative Handlers are formidable fighters who use their awakened powers to directly confront and subdue threats. They play a crucial role in enhancing the offensive capabilities of the hunter team, providing both firepower and strategic combat support.
Supportive Handlers 🛡
Handlers who focus on providing auxiliary aid and assistance to hunters from the rear lines. They excel in healing, buffing, and providing tactical support to enhance the overall performance and survivability of the hunter team. Support Handlers are essential for maintaining the well-being of their comrades and ensuring the team's efficiency during battles.
Meta Handlers ⚖️
Handlers possessing a unique blend of both combative and support capabilities, making them versatile and adaptable in various situations. Meta Handlers are strategic thinkers who can seamlessly transition between offensive and supportive roles based on the evolving dynamics of the battlefield. Their versatility allows them to fill critical gaps in the team's strategy, making them an invaluable asset in diverse scenarios.
The Abyss
The Abyss is a malevolent and insidious state of mental deterioration that Hunters may succumb to under two specific conditions. Firstly, prolonged battles without the cleansing support of their Handler can plunge a Hunter into the abyss, eroding their sanity over time. Secondly, those daring to ascend to a higher Tier Class risk exposing themselves to the overwhelming darkness that threatens to consume their minds, losing themselves to The Abyss. This mental affliction manifests as a profound descent into insanity, marked by aggressive behavior, distorted perceptions, and a perilous loss of control over one's awakened abilities.
Cleansing/Purification 🧼
The Cleansing/Purification process is an intimate method conducted by Handlers when a Hunter begins to lose themselves to The Abyss or has already succumbed to their insanity. Through acts of intimacy, such as touching, hugging, or kissing, Handlers channel their awakened abilities to cleanse the Hunter's mind, dispelling the darkness and restoring sanity. This profound connection between Handler and Hunter, while essential for mental well-being, often sparks romantic speculation, leading some to ship the two together and form couples.
In cases where a Hunter of a higher Tier Class has deeply lost themselves, traditional methods prove insufficient. The cleansing then transcends into a Purification union, where the Handler engages in sex with the Hunter. This intimate act is reserved for the most dire circumstances, typically when the Hunter and Handler have agreed to or are in a pre-existing relationship.
