#Oltura | Musing

Nearly dead- nearly gone;

Pinned post of cryofanewbcrn.

Hi, my name is Nayen (it/its only, please). I'm new to Monster Hunter rp, please be gentle with me.

This blog and it's lore are largely based on headcanon post-game wise. This blog's Oltura wasn't slain, but nearly killed. Dying, she takes to hiding away in the deep jungles of Hakolo, where she is found and nursed to a somewhat stable health by a stray Felyne that doesn't know what she's dealing with and took pity on Oltura.

Interactions with Oltura are always considered inperson and cannot happen non-f2f unless we are implementing some sort of telepathy lore.

Please read the rules underneath the cut before interacting- I will know if you haven't.

I'm 27 years old and live in Germany. I will have mature content be present on this blog, mostly in the form of violence, death, and sometimes, gore. If this troubles you, please be sure to save your own mental health and not follow.

I will not follow muns under the age of 20 for my own comfort.

This blog follows from my main blog, @shewholovedthem.

Oltura is an antagonistic character, but based on her nature as a Monster, she is not a VILLAIN any more than the Nergigante is. She can and does hold grudges, can and does have trauma, and as a being that doesn't understand this sort of thing, will act on it. - This means that Oltura is likely to become violent if she feels threatened. - Oltura is not a muse for your character to live their hero fantasies out on. She is crippled and disabled, yes, but she is still a massively powerful Elder Dragon, and whilst no longer in control of the power she once had, she is still capable of killing and will react to provocation.

There will be topics of animal cruelty and -death talked about on this blog, as that's essentially what monsters are, the way I see it.

Even though Oltura is more intelligent than most monsters, she is not human, and never will be, and as such, does not understand human language, customs, behaviour, or morality. She can learn little things here and there, but is unlikely to, due to her trauma-based innate hostility toward them.

Oltura is unshippable, even with other monsters, as I consider her a newborn of sorts. She has only just erupted from her larval form into her "mature" form, but I don't feel comfortable treating her as an adult of her species yet. - Platonic ships like friendship and found family are welcome and encouraged, but be warned that Oltura is hard to get through to.

I choose who I follow and interact with, and whom not with. Do not badger me, please. Respect my decisions.

I do not give my discord out to people I have not had extensive ooc interactions with.

If you want to plot, be my guest, but don't just approach me, ask to plot and then never make an offer and expect me to do all the heavy lifting of it. - I also suck at plotting extensively myself, and work best in a moment to moment sort of way, but I am welcoming still to plotting, or trying to anyway, so long as you're patient with me.

I do not touch ooc drama. I do not touch pro/antis/h/ip debate. This blog is for fun, it's a hobby, not to stress myself more out.

I will likely not use many icons on this blog because it's not easy for me to get material for them.

If you have any questions, let me know. I'm much friendlier than I sound like here, I promise- I am simply jaded and have had many traumatic experiences in the rp scene and feel the need to stake off my territory in terms of comfort.

I'm much more scared of you than you are of me.

I know my rules are a lot, but I really appreciate you taking the time to read them. Thank you so much!

Blog will be low activity because I am very low energy, and I prioritize certain interactions over others, simply because of mental illness reasons. Please don't take it harshly.

Oltura...

---- It's definitely not a name he's read in any books on myths, legends and what other tales of Elders people have written up. In all its fairness, though- the fact that the legend itself seemed to have been severely wrong as it was passed down alongside being from a more rider populated region meant it was already highly unlikely it'd be recorded for his crowd.

"I wonder if an Elder like that can fear..."

It was possible, right? No matter how strong or powerful you were, when faced with the threat of death you'd have to feel something- at least, that's what he thinks. Frosting goes back to silence for a small while after musing that out loud, looking down at the book as he thought. There was a bit of information to be taking in- but the fact that Mari and Ratha had gone through so much... he couldn't really imagine how much they've been hurt. To be locked away like that... he understood how horrible that was.

It's not a memory of similar experience he'd like resurfacing anytime soon

"I guess if... if you ever wanted to, the researchers could probably write a log about Oltura?" he offers a sheepish smile, rubbing the back of his neck. An odd offer, but those scholars seemed to have a wish to be recording something as insane as that Elder.

"They'd record the legends too, though they'll probably keep you around for hours on end,"

Frosting raises a hand up in a somewhat dismissive gesture to the last statement, keeping the smile despite the pain of recalling their first meeting.

"I-it's-- it's alright! I mean, I... I'm a little relieved you didn't try to start hitting me back then...?"

A statement with... implications, if thought about. He was genuinely kind of ready to be physically harmed in that encounter for his mistake. Mari could probably wager where that idea came from, seeing her involvement in that entire event. The hunter quickly moves on from that sentence.

"You were completely justified in being mad, and... um, even if everything before then didn't happen... I'd imagine anyone would've reacted the same if their companion got shot by a random person, even on accident- so I guess I deserved it,"

"Other than that- I... I, uh... I'm, sorry all of that happened to you. Neither of you should've gone through any of it,"

"WELL . . . THAT'S BECAUSE EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHERS forgot it even existed until it was almost too late . . . an Elder Dragon so ancient, that the last recording of its defeat barely survived to this day." And she shrugs a bit, casually waving off the heavy weight that Frosting imagined she carried once. She was humble like that, and perhaps too good at bearing so much pressure . . . she simply thought she was meant to bear it.

"The monster's name was Oltura. Some . . . massive entity that preys specifically on rathalos to reach adulthood. Apparently it ravaged my island a long time ago, and it was a razewing, like my Red, who defeated it before its destruction could spread."

"But people forgot about Oltura. And others with really, really twisted ideals took the truth and manipulated everyone else into believing someone different. It's . . . because of them that Red suffered so much. He became a scapegoat."

Mari's features narrow in unpointed disgust, her gaze falling onto the floor as she recalls sour and bitter memories. "They condemned my Ratha. Chained him up, caged him . . . only to learn it'd all been a lie. And he nearly lost his life for it." She snarled. "I promised I'd protect him, and I almost failed him. As for Oltura . . ."

Frosting had asked what it was like, facing the destructive power of the ancient beast. "I could feel . . . something akin to malice, or at least, I thought I did. Now I'm not so sure. I think all she wanted was to survive, but maybe she was also angry. Even if that wasn't the case, her existence would have destroyed the world as we know it. It was with Red's help that we slayed her."

And at last, the teen sighs, looking remorseful. "The reason I snapped at you . . . I know we're beyond that point now, but I just assumed you were like the people who still believed my Red would hurt people, or were otherwise ready to use him for darker intentions. We've had to deal with both kinds, I'm afraid. I'm sorry that I yelled at you."
