Hunters

A Hunter is typically used for someone who hunts animals, but it is also used to define people who hunt supernatural creatures. There are different types of Hunters, ranging from Vampire Hunters to Werewolf Hunters. Most of the time, these Hunters are Humans who have decided to hunt these creatures, but the Hunter themselves could be a supernatural being. They often use special weapons designed to kill a supernatural beings or cause harm to said being.

## Creation

After the first Immortals were created, Humans felt inferior, and wanted to show they were just as strong as the Immortals. However, the first true Hunter didn't appear until the first Ghoul was made, or more precisely, the first Ghoul turned without magic. And the cycled continues, with the same thing happening with Werewolves, Vampires, and even Hybrids.

## Known Hunters

### Supernatural Hunters

* Patrick McCormick: Patrick is, in a way, one of the first Hunters out there simply because he was around when the first Ghoul, Werewolf, and Vampire were created. Despite his physical abilities being inferior to those who came after him, he still hunted down and killed quite a few Werewolves and Vampires, though that was before he joined The Legion, where he would assassinate a select few.
* Cravin Draculous Sr.: While Cravin Sr killed Witches, Werewolves, and at times, even Vampires, he was most known for having a hand in hunting down and killing several Ghouls in the early days. Despite the strength difference, Cravin Sr helped make Ghouls endangered.
* Cravin Draculous Jr.: Ironically enough, Cravin Sr's own son grew to become a Vampire Hunter, having never particularly enjoyed the bloodlust other Vampires indulged in. However, despite killing many Vampires in his immortal life, Cravin Jr will never harm those from his family.

## Nature

Typically, a Hunter is fueled by a hatred for the supernatural, meaning they simply want to eradicated them. However, non-supernatural Hunters have to act much smarter as they lack any form of power to face the supernatural head on. They rely mostly on their wit and traps. However, supernatural Hunters can be more direct with their methods.

## Attitude Towards Humans

Most Hunters want to protect Humans, with that being the main reason to why they hunt down the supernatural. However, supernatural Hunters may use Humans as bait in order to kill a Ghoul, Vampire, or Hybrid.

## Attitude Towards Supernaturals

Hunters have a hatred for the supernatural (Excluding Witches, for the most part), and will try to kill them when given the opportunity. Likewise, the supernatural dislike Hunters, and will do anything to fight back, where they usually gain the upper hand.

## Awareness of Hunters

Ever since the first Ghoul was turned without magic, Hunters have become common knowledge from there on. However, since Hunters don't look out of place, their existence is typically hidden until they either get caught killing a supernatural, fail to kill one, or outright say they are one.

## Powers and Abilities

### Non-Supernatural Hunters

Non-Supernatural Hunters, aka Humans, only have their wits, which they would have to rely on heavily since any head on fights would result in them losing. They had to be smart and cunning to stay alive. They would also use their knowledge of their opponents weaknesses against them, like making completely wooden spears to combat Vampires or silver tipped arrows for Ghouls and Werewolves.

### Supernatural Hunters

Supernatural Hunters have powers that depend on their species.

* **Witch Supernatural Hunter:** They have all the powers of a Witch.
* **Immortal Supernatural Hunter:** They have all the powers of a True Immortal.
* **Ghoul Supernatural Hunter:** They have all the powers of a Ghoul.
* **Werewolf Supernatural Hunter:** They have all the powers of a Werewolf.
* **Vampire Supernatural Hunter:** They have all the powers of a Vampire.

## Equipment

* **Silver Blades:** Hunters carry silver based blades to harm, weaken, and kill Ghouls or Werewolves.
* **Wooden Stakes:** Hunters carry wooden stakes to use against Vampires.
* **Fire:** Hunters carry fire based weaponry to combat all species, as all are, in one way, weak to fire.
* **Ghoul Venom:** Very early when Ghouls were still high in numbers, Hunters would extract the venom from their teeth and then lace their weapons with it just to kill the other species. This method is long gone by modern day.
* **Vampire Blood:** Sometimes, Hunters would gather Vampire blood to either simply heal them or use it to combat Ghouls. As the Ghoul numbers went down, this method went down, being long gone by modern day.
