haremtrapBack 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.

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. ]

All right, don't hold anything back. Come at me like you want to kill me.

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. ]

Date: 2016-06-30 11:39 pm (UTC)She's matching a top-ranked Mutant Host in power, using a human body.]

Date: 2016-06-30 11:42 pm (UTC)And then their fists collide. And Ako's doesn't budge.
Eyes widen. Toyo pulls back. She didn't hold back at all.
She has only one thing to say. ] What the fuck?

Date: 2016-06-30 11:44 pm (UTC)[ As long as we're this close in, let's do this the fun way! Ako presses the offensive with a relentless barrage of ORA ORA ORA punches. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-06-30 11:49 pm (UTC)And she still finds herself pushed back, physically digging into the ground as she takes the hits.
OKAY. Kohaku's sister is freakishly strong. She sends a mental apology in Kohaku's direction for ever doubting the stories.
But freakish strength could still be beaten. She's still unpowered. Which means...
She takes a deep breath. And expels a large ball of flame directly in Ako's face. ]

Date: 2016-06-30 11:57 pm (UTC)The instant she touches ground behind her, Ako delivers an earth-shattering kick at Toyo's back. ]

Date: 2016-07-01 12:36 am (UTC)She rockets forward, then slams into the ground and rollllls for a bit before coming to a stop
On her face. ]
.......Ow.

Date: 2016-07-01 12:53 am (UTC)Ako gives another wild laugh, arms folded. ]
Thanks for the duel! I'm glad that onii-chan's made some really fun friends!
