of 25 Sydney Avenue, USA
UPDATED 16-APRIL-2011:
I am currently very interested on building on the events described below. Take a read-through, see what catches your interest.
In-Universe
In Adolescence
{{Player is of-age. Just for the record.}}
How the Hunter began his decent into cannibalism is unknown. He has joked that it had something to do with having seen Silence of the Lambs at age twelve, though he was probably joking. Probably.
Sometime around the time he turned thirteen, the Hunter abducted his first meal. It would take him some time before he would adjust to the skill set necessary to more effectively complete his goal. Death and killing made him uneasy, and this uneasiness was hard to hide.
Nothing more is known about his life until he turned fifteen, by which time he had been attending Donald F. Platt High School. By this time, he had become more self-assured, cocky even, and was prone to abduct people as a form of personal revenge or simply because he didn't like them. Even when he knew nothing of the person he could still be fairly sadistic, teasing them and tormenting them. As time went on, the personal edge wore off, and the Hunter became more cautious.
At age seventeen, he first referred to himself as the Hunter, deciding his given name was meaningless.
He graduated Platt in 1999, and moved away from his home at 5 Cedar Street to go away to college.
As an Adult
The Hunter's sadistic attitude lasted well through his college years at CU. At first, he set up a kitchen on the edge of campus in an abandoned dorm building. Later on, he acquired his home on Sydney Avenue. With the help of an engineering major, he tricked the house out with a large amount of security and body disposal hardware and machinery, and also designed and built ovens, fryers, and boiling devices (amongst other things) large enough to contain human bodies. The location of this student is unknown. (As a result, these machines have fallen into disrepair.) Where he received the money for all of this is unknown, since our sources tell us he was employed as a busboy at the time.
The Hunter graduated college on May 23, 2003. On that day, he made a meal of Samantha Morse. Absolutely nothing is known of who she is or why the Hunter considers her significant, but as the one concrete event we know of in the life of this man it is at least worth mentioning.
As time went on, The Hunter slowly began to become more stoic. Years of killings began to take a physiological toll on him, and gradually his emotional centers almost completely broke down. Having majored in physiology (with a minor in the culinary arts), he used his knowledge to fain social interest in order to draw in prey.
While he usually tries to be kind and decent, even going as far as to offer his prey a choice in how they're prepared, it is more because antagonizing his victims is simply not worth the irritation it causes them to cause him.
Personality wise, his first resort is always to turn on the charm, try and talk his prey into accompanying him. When not actively pursuing someone, he tends to be rather aloof and stand-offish, his eyes darting as he looks for potential prey. In fact, the Hunter generally is not fond of being sociable, but should he actually approach you it'd be hard to tell.
Recently, The Hunter aquired an assistant, Sarah, or "Espy". She became his slave after he caught and cooked Kai, and Sarah spent her time doing mechanical work on his dungeon of a house. {{This version is fully human and isn't tied into anything else Twilight_Nova's doing to the best of my knowledge. If you want to RP with her you can ignore this paragraph and be fine.}} She died fairly recently. How this happened is as of yet unknown, but the Hunter was more than a bit broken up by it.
Physically
His short blond hair is a mess as it's constantly dyed, his eyes have been shielded by contacts for years. The only sure thing is he's about six feet tall, a height he reached somewhere around the age of 17, and is rather fit in a muscular sort of way. He has a bit of a thing for tank-tops and jeans.
Out of Universe
Some Other Things You Should Know
{{As of late, I've taken to really enjoying doing more story-related stuff, placing the Hunter at earlier stages in his life and seeing how his whole deal started and how he gradually refined his craft and became better at what he does. His real name and other such important background details will be still be obscure, however.
I'm also into RPs that force the Hunter to take a look at what he does and why he does it. The man has extremely little empathy or sympathy and therefore "you're taking a life" doesn't work well as an argument. I'm looking forward to seeing that either broken down (warning: screaming and moaning won't work, just a heads up) or finding other arguments against his acts that don't involve humanizing his meat.
If anyone is interested in taking a closer looks at the events above, specifically graduation day or what happened to the engineering major, I'd be more than happy to.
I also may have unintentionally sparked a story arc involving someone who's discovered the Hunter and begins toying with him. It takes place when he's 25. Feel free to feed off of this one, too.}}
Canon
{{Let it be known that, in order to create a more perfect continuity, all events pertaining to the supernatural or paranormal have been struck from canon and delegated to the life of Mythhunter_Derek.
No RP enters continuity until it is completed, so please--if you want to be Samantha Morse or the engineering major, or anyone of any significance to the Hunter's life, please don't leave RPs unfinished.
The Canon
(Believe me, I'm really trying to move away from oven roasting and into new and exciting cooking methods.)
| Name of Prey | Age of Hunter | Cooking Style |
|---|---|---|
| Ilania | 17 | dismembered and fried |
| Hannah Montoya | 19 | steamed |
| May Ann | 20 | barbecued/spitted |
| Alana | 25 | oven roasting |
| Jennifer | 25 | oven roasted |
| Cara Tinere | 27 | oven roasting |
| Anya Short | 28 | blended, remains mixed with ice cream |
| Gail Berglund | 28 | eaten raw |
| Kai Usagi | 30 | oven roasting |
| Dr. Jess | 32 | spit/oven roasting |
| Ariel A. | 32 | boiling |
RPs still needing to be finished: Liz2, Chelsey, Susian, Henky, Lauren_and_Fayn, Angy, Sweet_WithaKick, Little_Casey, Dancer_Bella, Jen_Sutter, Urumi
In a special kind of limbo: During the ice cream stand incident, during which Anya and Gail were killed and eaten, the Hunter also captured timid, diplomatic Chinese bombshell Jocelyn Camp and baseball capped, glasses-clad, take-charge brunette Maggie Quick. Seeing as Ice_Cream_Stand has no desire to follow through with how exactly these two meet their gruesome end, anyone who cares to assume either role is more than welcome to.

Alts
{{Try Animalius if being eaten by an animal or plant of any type is your thing. And if you're a mythical creature or furry-into-being-eaten-by-a-human, Mythhunter_Derek would be thrilled to help you out. Probably a little nervous, though.
I also have an alt called Complete_Monster. I thought it'd be cool to have an evil overlord ham who was constantly in character and demanded sacrifice. Clearly no one else agreed. You won't find him lurking, but I'd be more than willing to pull him out on request. I'm also retooling him as an insane mass murderer as a favor to a friend, so lemme know if you want to try out that version.}}
Now's the time, the time is now...
