Aegis Monster Hunter Academy
Jun. 29th, 2016 08:39 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Back in the 1980s, drilling for oil grew too extensive and too deep. Humanity started breaching ancient caverns miles below the Earth's surface. They weren't uninhabited caves either. This extensive cave network was the home of unknowable numbers of massively beasts who now regularly escaped to and rampaged across the surface.
Some of the beasts were not hostile, though. They wanted to protect the surface world, and found the best way to do so was to symbiotically bond with humans, combining the deadly power of the depths with the agile minds of humanity. People who took these creatures into their own bodies became Hosts, and they were the only hope humanity had int protecting themselves.
As most people who become hosts did so at a relatively young age, though, they still have to go to school. To learn how to control their newfound powers AND to learn how to be a productive member of society. YOU are such a Host, and YOU have been accepted in the best school in the world for Hosts:
AEGIS MONSTER HUNTER ACADEMY

Set on the Japanese coast, a few miles south of Tokyo Japan, Aegis is a marvel of modern architecture and a beacon of hope to the nation. It includes on campus housing for student, state of the art training facilities, and is practically a self contained town in and of itself. Kohaku Yuhara is just now becoming a first year student here. What adventures will the new kid have?
Possible thread hooks
- It's orientation day! Time for everyone to figure out where their classes are going to be and meet their classmates/roommates
- It's T-T-T-TIME TO DUEL! As graduates from Aegis are expected to be badass monster hunters, getting some combat experience is a must. That means it is accepted policy for students to resolve differences via public duels
- Combat training! This time it's not against each other, but against simulated monsters. How well do you work as a team?
- Class! This teacher is boring and never stops talking. Exchange whispered conversations. Pass notes. Doodle in the margins of your notebook.
- Day off! A good time to catch up on your studies/training, or to go and actually relax! Read a book! Go for a walk! Watch a movie! Go on a date!
- Or anything else you can think of.

Ako Yuhara
Date: 2016-06-30 12:52 am (UTC)Spoilers: She's coming back. I'm down for whatever kinds of canon or non-canon threads here, since Ako's gonna be absent for a lot of the early parts if we do a proper PSL.]

From:Hazuru Shogo
Date: 2016-06-30 02:18 am (UTC)The reality is that overuse of her ability tires her out and burns huge amounts of calories, so most moments when she isn't working are spent sleeping or eating. Her first interaction with Kohaku involved slapping them when they walked in on her changing, but she moved back in time so that she was hiding in her bed instead.
I'll be down for whatever you want, canon or otherwise, looking forward to working with you all. But now, imma nap zzzzzzzzzzz]

Date: 2016-06-30 03:16 am (UTC)It had been a hell of a first day, and classes didn't even officially start for tomorrow, but now the only thing standing between Kohaku and her bed was meeting her new roommate. The paperwork had said "Hazuru Shogo" on it. Kohaku wondered what kind of person she was as she opened the door to their room.
First go around!
Date: 2016-06-30 03:36 am (UTC)"Lousy, no good, idiot lizard bitch!" She ranted and raved in her half dressed state, exhausted completely by the day's events. "She couldn't have waited to graduate and pass on the position! No, she had to go and pass the buck at the nearest opportunity!" Killing her with a headshot was too good for Toyo, she was going to strangle her with her bare hands for foisting her duties off to some no-nothing noob first year!
So lost in her state of delirium, clawing her hands around a neck that wasn't there, she never noticed the door to their room being unlocked and opened.
Behold, Kohaku, Hazuru Shogo, the StuCo Secretary and your new right-hand woman.
no subject
Date: 2016-06-30 03:39 am (UTC)Kohaku stared at this rather unseemly display for a moment, trying to decide how to proceed from here. Eventually she came on something that seemed relatively unlikely to end up in being strangled by this madwoman:
"Hello."

From:ANNNNNNNNND LOOP!
From:Loop the second
Date: 2016-07-01 02:11 am (UTC)For all that she seemed disheveled and exhausted, there's an intelligence shining in her visible eye. Propping herself up on her arm, she introduced herself. "I'm Hazuru Shogo, the Student Council Secretary." Slowly, she got into a proper seated position as she explained things. "As StuCo President, you've been assigned to the same suite as me. This was to ensure you would always follow up on your duties to both the council and the school as President."
no subject
Date: 2016-07-01 02:27 am (UTC)She was also bemused by Shogo's rather brusque greeting. "Kohaku Yuhara. I didn't realize I was expected to knock before entering my own room."
(no subject)
From:You saw nothing
From:Was there something to see?
From:"Jane Doe"/Yasu Moto
Date: 2016-06-30 02:30 am (UTC)Really, though, Jane is the symbiont, and the Host is Yasu Moto, a shy girl who's willingly along for the ride. Jane is intensely curious about the human world, and formed a sort of pact with Yasu to take over her body and enroll in the academy to get closer to human society and learn as much as she can.
I'm cool with literally any sort of thread, canon or not. She'll try to be friends with everybody, so be prepared for that.]
Kohaku Yuhara
Date: 2016-06-30 03:11 am (UTC)She is a stealth type host. Her symbiont invaded and replaced most of her nervous system, giving her superhuman reaction speeds, supercharged senses, and the ability to manually turn off her sense of pain. As Hosts go, she's not very powerful, but she is a skilled sword fighter and is clever.]
no subject
Date: 2016-06-30 04:07 am (UTC)Whatever it is, it is being rudely interrupted as Toyo practically (bot not actually) kicks in the door. "Kohaku!"
[ At some vague point post-loss ]
no subject
Date: 2016-06-30 04:12 am (UTC)"You know, I think I heard somewhere that some people consider it rude to kick down someone's door."
1/2

"...is that I needed a place to nap."

Incredibly rude. Clearly somebody needs to talk to her about this.
no subject
Date: 2016-06-30 04:27 am (UTC)A few seconds later, Kohaku walked over and swallowed her bite so she could speak. The other students had started to react angrily, but then they saw that the new student council president was moving in to deal with it and sat down to watch how "he" would handle this.
"Excuse me."

... what.

3/3 nevermind, lied again
Date: 2016-07-01 04:07 am (UTC)"M-my Rice ball~!!!"
Lunch was serious business to Hazuru Shogo, to have her food just disappear without warning was simply too much for her.
Not that the rest was gone, no, it was still there, but that was meaningless to the fact that the rice ball was missing.
make up your damn mind

From:careful scrounging and creative cropping, my friend.
From:TOYO SEIRYU
Date: 2016-06-30 04:00 am (UTC)At Aegis, that student is Toyo Seiryu.
As the daughter of the school's founder and headmistress, great things have been expected of her. She has lived up to those expectations and more. The students gave her the moniker of "the dragon" as both a reference of her powers and of her strength in combat. And as the strongest character in school, she was the duly appointed student council president. Since appointments are carried out by combat duels, the strongest gains that title.
At least until she meets Kohaku and throws the fight against her so that she can be free of that title. Because natural ability aside, she wants nothing more than to coast through life without responsibility. That's her true character.
As her title of "the dragon" might suggest, she is a mutation type host. It's visible in her hands, which are claws with golden/red scales that run halfway down her wrists, giving her arms super strength, making them impervious to damage, and giving her razor-sharp deadly claws. Less visible, she also has the ability to breath fire. It gives her a reputation as somebody not to be crossed. ]

Date: 2016-06-30 08:54 pm (UTC)Ako stands on the far side of the arena, unarmed, in no particular fighting stance. No apparent powers at work.]
All right, don't hold anything back. Come at me like you want to kill me.
no subject
Date: 2016-06-30 11:10 pm (UTC)Toyo removes her gloves, revealing her clawed hands, before shoving the gloves in a pocket. The inevitable crowd that's gathered mutters. ]
I'm not very good at holding back anyway. [ Look at this girl. Toyo knows that she's Kohaku's sister, and strong enough to make Kohaku break out into a sweat, but... look at her. No stance, no weapon, no powers.
This would take ten seconds, tops. ]
Don't cry when I'm done here! [ And she moves in!
Toyo's pretty quick - not on Kohaku's level, but it's not all about speed. That punch she throws... yeah, that's all power. ]
