Background
Dark Hunter Style
"For the cunning, to face an enemy in open confrontation would be a fourth rate solution for someone who has already made three serious mistakes: Not knowing the territory, not moving about in secrecy, and not evading a direct attack. It is only when all your strategies and tactics have failed, that you resort to ripping someone’s head off."
Characters who practice this style may use tiger claws or razor claws freely (considering them unarmed Martial
Arts attacks) with all of its Charms. This style is incompatible with the use of armor. Additionally, upon mastering the form the stylist permanently gains a die to stealth while not wearing armor. While it is not necessary to possess Tiger Style before mastering Dark Hunter Style, a few charms are useless without it.
History
Senses straining, heightened, drawn taught over the weighted apprehension in the lingering eternity of every moment. Each sound, every color cast in sharp crisp relief, each thundering pulse felt hammering high in the chest, hidden deep in the throat and warm behind the eyes. Still there is nothing, but the terror won't calm. Shivering to the core, shaken unsure and waiting for the tearing pain, the shock of adrenaline. Held by the darkness, by the whisper of movement, frozen in bated anticipation.
Fear wafts through the air, savory, intoxicating. The taste of it drives you forward almost gasping swallowing anticipation writhing. Yet the darkness holds you waiting, prey postures glancing around in desperate false hope, but knowing. The prey stares off hoping, gaze stabs at the darkness this way and that. Movement. Hot and iron-tang'd life flows past fangs, flesh tears and then there is silence.
The Dark Hunter is the cunning predator, the quiet shadow, the ghost waiting just at the edge of perception...to strike. Lurking, stalking, watching through the undergrowth and distraction waiting for the perfect moment.
During the second age of man, creation was the stalking grounds for one of the greatest predators to ever live, an Iron Wolf, one of the chosen of the Sun, Nadia. For an age her name was synonymous with the beast, hunger, dread; she was the Hunter. This style was her manifestation of one aspect of that.
Style
My apologies, for the overly abbreviated charm layout. As it turns out this researcher's locks are no match for a certain experienced, and down right terrifying, Night Caste who has taken it upon herself to express her displeasure in the revelation of her secrets. I have hope of making some head way when next I encounter her. The things I do for posterity.
