#IAO - Redemption

Here is the post about orgs and the drive that Hunter has.

Orgs is an organization (no wonder what it is short for) that work using monster existence to their benefits and often clash with hunter cells ( a group of hunter like a standard ttrpg party) because hunters want to destroy the monsters and the many members of a org lack drive (I will talk about it later in this post) but the org occasionally use hunter as bait or pay them to do a task the the org don't want to risk any assets. There are 5 types of organizations as the orgs are like a 'corrupted' hunter creed as the org while having the same idea as a creed, they lack the drive that Hunter has.

Academic orgs that are like inquisitive creed in that to the academic information is crucial and so they are more knowledgeable then the other org but also the most reluctant to use it as they don't hunt monster because they want every information about the supernatural. Example of an academic org is the arcanum.

Corporate orgs are a version of a entrepreneur hunter in that they are a business (even though they keep the monster existence a secret)and have a potential to use experimental technology but they hunt monsters they are predictable and don't want to kill all monsters as like a vampire killing businesses will be bankrupt if there is no more vampire. An example of a corporate org is Re:Venge.

Government org is well funded, equipped, and organized but not always as they are complex as while they keep the supernatural existence a secret, they are the unchecked tool of violence. The org version of the Martial creed and the example of a government org is information awareness office (IAO)

Religious org view that the supernatural are created as soldier for a army of evil to bring an end of time and thus the religious org sought to bring the end of the monster. The religious org usually have a small but dedicated member but thought to be the leader of the second inquisition (a movement by different hunter and org to hunt vampire, vampire calling it the second inquisition because they remember the first inquisition) and often retaliate against those they believe colluding with the supernatural. The org version of the faithful creed and an example is The Nails of Christ.

Vigilante 'org' is unique in that they appear similar to the hunters because vigilante want to take action without being encumbered by structure or other rules, they lack resources or power of the rest of the orgs but the strength of a vigilante org comes from the individual who is part of this org. The 'org' version of the underground creed and the example is not shown.

While we are here let's talk about drive as the hunter has 3 things Creed, Edge, and Drive. Drive is a hunter's motivation to act against the supernatural and drive can be anything like curiosity about the supernatural and atonement for helping a monster live unknowingly and let people die and seek atonement. Drive can cause hunter despair and has to do a redemption to get out of it and remember why they went on the hunt( for example of an atonement drive they must defend someone from the monster by putting themselves in harm's way)

Hello there, while I do some Danny Phantom idea but I am here to show you the difference between the hunter from both editions of hunter the reckoning from world of darkness and hoping to get your opinion on both hunters. (Also note that I don't know everything about hunter the reckoning thing like what is the messenger or other things and I also a bit bias for 5th edition because the idea of normal people hunting monsters is cool)

Imbued from 1st edition is supernaturally augmented people who are chosen by the messengers to hunt monster. There are 3 virtues with 3 creeds each but if the imbued want to get a more powerful edge they get more deranged ( a mechanic that every point of virtue above 7 you must get a derangement) and if they want the most powerful edge they must become an extremist.

The virtues (and creed) is

Virtue of zeal is driven by negative emotion of the supernatural and seeking to hurt the monster (the creeds of zeal is avengers creed, judges creed, and defenders creed)

Virtue of mercy is driven by positive emotion and wish to resolve conflict and see everyone thrive (the creeds of mercy is martyrs creed, redeemers creed, and innocents creed)

Virtue of vision is driven by a stable balance of emotion and determine what need to be done without bias( the creed of vision is visionaries creed, hermit creed, and waywards creed)

The extremist path are what happened when an imbued becomes too powerful (got 10 dot in virtue) and deranged ( the three path are the divine path which is chosen, the corrupt path which is corrupted by a demon, and the independent path are when an extremist don't want to be a puppet)

Yeah being an imbued sucks but they are the star of hunter the reckoning...

Until the 5th edition put the imbued in to backstage and let normal people be the star.

5th hunters are normal people that after finding out monsters are real decide to hunt them.

Hunter, while there is some edge that give them a semblance of magic abilities, are just regular people that has to research the quarry (the supernatural beings they are currently hunting) and use the element of surprise they currently have (even their edges reflect this like a library edge that a hunter can access a wealth of information), because while they can be prepared against the monster, the monster can also be prepared against the hunters.

The 5th edition creeds is both the reason, how they approach the monster, and the way of life (note that 3 words for later)

Martial creed is the militaristic hunter that seeks finality to the supernatural to protect people from monsters but are more likely to be extremist and willing to risk the element of surprise to end the monster.

Inquisitive creed are the people who want to know more about the problem and are more knowledgeable about the things they are against but they are more likely to let the monster live so they can learn about it more even though the monster kills more people and they are not well armed.

Faithful creed are religious people who are more likely to use magical like abilities from relics but if has a crisis of faith becomes weak.

Entrepreneurial creed are both engineers and business seeker as they make tech to capture (yes capture) to get a potential reward of inspiration of a invention to get profit but are reliant on their tool and the captured monster can use their power to escape and causes trouble

Underground creed use stealth and immediate action like trap and improvise to be unpredictable but their lack of long term planning leaves them unprepared.

While the creed is the way of life there are groups of hunters that treat it like a job and look to use the monster's existence to their benefits while the hunter want to end the monster existence to save people, they are the orgs (organization). I don't have enough energy to list the example of the orgs but the arcanum (the scholars that you ask in the post of dpxhtp)are one of them.

So what do you think of the imbued and the hunters? They both hunt monsters.

Hmm... Honestly, I also prefer the idea of regular-ass people being hunters. Fits more with what I tend to think hunters do.

Can Dhampirs also be hunters? Because that's basically the mythos behind Dhampirs to begin with, so I wouldn't understand why not.
