The Dread Hunter of Grace
From Changeling Venue
Contents |
Appearance
The Hunter styles himself as the Perfect Hunter and The Lord of the Deepest Woods. As such his normal appearance draws on an almost stylized god-of-the-woods ideal, showing an inhumanly large, well muscled man with distinctive animalistic features such as stag’s horns or hooved feet. He exudes predatory grace, causing Lost in his presence to immediately feel as if they are his rightful prey and giving him an almost primal oversexed sensuality. He generally dresses in a fine leather kilt, with torso bare and simple and practical golden torcs around his neck and muscled arms. He is a shape shifter, and will assume the form or traits of any conceivable animal at whim.
Personality
The Hunter is just that, a Hunter. Primarily a hunter of animals of all types (including humans, goblins, ect.), he also entertains himself with hunting hearts in his well appointed Harem. He considers himself a force of nature and it is rare indeed that any stand against him. He treats defiance with amusement, considering the breaking of minds and the sapping of will just another form of hunt. His anger takes on a terrifying and primal nature, and he as leveled entire sections of the preserve when provoked to rage. Generally however he likes to play the part of ‘gentleman hunter’ inviting other Gentry to lavish hunting parties and entertainments at his Lodge.
Domain
The Hunter’s domain lies in the deepest woods of arcadia, fantastical forests providing the primary setting. However certain sections have been transformed to provide other terrains for his hunting pleasure such as swamps, deserts, and plains. In the deepest part of the woods lies The Hunter’s Lodge. The lodge itself is on a scale that feels uncomfortably large to humans, having been built to accommodate the Hunter’s customary god-like stature. It has a ‘rustic’ feel about it, but has every conceivable luxury and appointment including huge feasting halls with colossal fireplaces, Harem, and baths. Surrounding the lodge is every conceivable stabling structure. Mews for hunting birds of every type, stables for his prized horses, Kennels, arenas for dog fighting and bear baiting, and menageries which hold every type of predatory or prey animal. Many of the animals here are Lost, specifically obtained for the purpose of serving as either prey or hunting animal.
