**Hunter 'Gavin' Snow** *(*ハンタースノー *Hantā Sunō)* lit. **Hunter Snow** is a 20 year old headstrong ranch raised teen from Overland Park, Vaduz. Records every moment with his skate cam and voluntarily drives with the gang around Astora in his 04 jet black Dodge Durango. He's playable as a unit in *Dragoma Dimensions*.

## Profile

Born in Overland Park, Vaduz, Hunter derives from a middle class Vadanian family with strong americana like pride. Ever since Snow was in his youth age, he would always cherish his skateboarding skills over baseball practice. Awarded with prized varsity trophies from Middle school, Hunter always complained that he needed an extra companion to aid his life with exuberance. And that's when Kimberly Snow arrives, the brother sister relationship rocking sometimes off scales. After summer band camp, Snow begins to spend the rest of his summer with skate practice, a few ollies and kickflips off of his driveway at Blackthorne Estates improves as he shows up for his first time at Sunrise skatepark. His extravagant moves gather a crowd before a few skaters took genuine interest in his shredding skills. First approached Kenta, then Sanaki at a Shenzhen take out, then Romain during a free ride across Crinea's New Leaf Park. His parents are kind enough to generously invite the Diamond Dragon Shredders for hospitality such as usual car parade events or any blissful Astorian holiday. Sporadic sleepovers and video vlogs brighten Hunter's heart, especially when he connects his heart mostly with his family, his skating friends and lastly Regalia. He even owns a golden retriever named Donut, the exuberant canine guarding his ranch, fearing to ride anything on 4 wheels including his deck.

Hunter voluntarily carries the shredders around Astora in his 04 jet black Dodge Durango, the fender used as car skitching on the highway attempted by Romain. He also works at a Castorama in Overland Park, inciting his friends to several skateboard budget challenges.

Later on, he meets a girl during work named Krystal Aberdeen while stocking out wall paint cards. They exchange their feelings for 7 months before deciding to grow closer to each other. In later episodes of his Video Vlogs series, Hunter and Krystal (along with Romain and Ryuk) take a flight to Dragard for a vacational road trip, Snow's marriage taking place at Castle Granvale.

### The Shadow Deer

Before Hunter was introduced to the world of paranormal and the formation of the Shredders, Snow unveils during the Warehouse visit that he previously ventured alone when he was 14, faintly recalling a green tinbox with mysterious items in it. While meandering around the perimeter filled with green overgrowth, he'd heard tales of skinwalkers disguised as shadow deers prowling about through the murky forests of Overland Park. Hunter claims that that the spiritual attachment of whatever was lingering on to him might be because of his doubt and ego in the beginning. Slowly convinced thanks to Romain, he begins to open up to Ragnavatars, slowly adapting to their presence. Kenta asks if the necklace he's wearing is of any significance, but Snow shakes his head, assuming that the sapphire colored spiral stone was just an ordinary addition for a ragged skater. The Shredders attempt to do a Ragna board séance at Hunter's house, but fail to communicate after GXD was unveiled. Hunter is still spooked by the shadow but very less of it.

### Dragoma Dimensions

With minimal appearances through certain titles, Hunter Snow is now a playable unit in Dragoma Dimensions, along with the rest of the Diamond Dragon Shredders. His preferable skate deck is the DRAKSTAR Valterra Dragon DX, capable of harnessing the **Thunder Brand** *(サンダーブランド Sandāburando)* within himself and the board, the hologram weapon resembling the Brave Asphindar. One of the missions that greatly impacts his family into peril when Haywood Ranch were infiltered with swarms of Ragnavatars and other monsters.

### Combat (Dimensions)

Hunter potentials skill and strategic combat throughout every field battle. Though he can mess up on the spot (regarding non Regalian Evo class skills), he entitles trust in his partner Galdr summon, Kyllarion to finish off an opponent.

### *Hold your Breath ~ The Diamond Dragon Shredders*

Hunter appears as one of the major arcana skaters in *Hold Your Breath ~ The Diamond Dragon Shredders* where Romain introduces vaping to Hunter, the brown haired skater highly intrigued by the popular e - cig trend around Exivus. Feeling skeptic, he remarks that he has never smoked before and is willing to pass this onto Kenta instead. After he discreetly speculates at Romain puffing on his Stryder X Genesis II, Snow secretly buys his first JUUL as a beginner, being tutored with MTL techniques by the blonde. The nicotine gradually  hooks him on, purchasing the vape pods with his savings every week. The cravings begin to hit in and Hunter finds various ways to vape while hiding in secrecy. His family nor his workmates at Castorama know that he's ritually expelling vapor to heal his stress and mood swings between everyone he knows.

Several stern warnings were issued through his life, one of them being naughtily snitched by Kimberly to his mom. After a steaming warm shower, Hunter decides to break out his JUUL away from prying eyes. Minutes later, Kimberly finds a black tipped chrome silver stick hung from the pocket of his jeans. She runs downstairs to Catherine where she was in the middle of cooking. Verbal warning exchange between the two as Kimberly bursts into tears, bracing a menacing slap from her older brother. Thankfully intervened by his mom, she sternly yanks the JUUL stick from his hands and storms towards the bucket of salvaged electronics. With his mind steaming in crucial anger, Hunter dashes upstairs to his room, locking away all of his stupid mistakes. Forget Romain. Forget JUUL. It makes you look like a FUUL anyway.

Weeks go by as Hunter is yet attempted to crave on a JUUL again. With his stomach and mind hungry for more nic salts after skate practice at Sunrise Skatepark, Hunter decides to go back into it again. 10 bucks on a 2 pack menthol from the local kiosk. A few puffs brighten his day and slowly cleared his negative thoughts. Packing up, he drives to Haywood Ranch, where he is first met with Bramble. He cooes sweetly at the brown plump pig on 4 hooves, beckoning to follow him back to it's stable. With his presence sensing that no one else was around him, he breaks out a puff or two, Bramble squealing in light glee towards the vaporized mist hovering over him. Inciting the brown haired skater to produce more puffs. The lock to the barn door shifted as Hunter averted his attention, bracing himself for Dragonful to arrive. Instead, he was met with the gruesome glares from both Hector and Uncle Phil. Their silent stares hawked on the remaining vapor that didn't vanish, still rolling across the air. That's when the last hay straw snapped in two, both elders unleashing verbal and physical abuse to the 23 year old. Hunter was bombarded by aggressive raves, slaps, and kicks from his father while his uncle had a spade in hand, attempting to knock him out. Snow continues to cry from the traumatized nicotine hit, the overdrive of anger releasing from his emotional well but fails to do so as sorrow overlaps him.

With one final yell, both of them roughly grip Snow by his shoulders and aggressively throws him into Bramble's pig pen. Covered in mud, hay, and Bramble's brown sludge, Snow is met with ridiculed disobedience. Humiliation and unintentional anger unleashed just for one stupid silver stick that creates lifeless air. Blood pools from his forehead and jaw, tears blending into his sorrow. Lying down in the sludge, Hunter mumbles depressingly for all of the trouble he had caused to his family. Bramble trots over to him, whining in sorrow, nudging his head with his pink snout.

He had numerous blames on Romain regarding Ragnavatar attachments and dybbuk box seances. The silver stick that ended his misery was born to revenge against the blonde.

## Trivia

When the founding bishop Vosy climbed the hill, he found that it was snow-covered in July; in the snowfall, the tracks of a deer around the dolmen outlined the foundations of the future church.
