Finished ref for my new mhs2 oc, Haku and his Abyssal Lagiacrus, Zanka. (Haku isn't in the same world/au? as my other oc Tokyo)

More info under the cut, e.g. backstory, as well as a little bit of info on Zanka.

Will be updating/adding/taking away from this info as I go along, so things may change in this info.

Haku was born in Lulucion (Lamure), and came from a family that had been hunters for generations. (around the age of 11) His family wanted him to become a hunter as well, which he despised, as he considered being a (Royal Paleontology) Scrivener, or possibly a handler for a hunter, rather than hunt monsters he mainly wanted to study them. Haku actually having a fear of monsters, but due to his family couldn’t see himself working a job outside of monsters.

His family were borderline abusive due to their constant push/aggression/etc for him to become a hunter, e.g. getting mad at him if he messed up his training, or getting mad when he was scared of a simple Konchu.

In this time Haku would do several things to try to get out of the house/out of training/etc. He’d often explore ruins around Lamure, and or go out in the fishing boats to help out the fishermen, getting taught how to steer the boats and check for weather and wave conditions/etc.

After a while he learnt about the job of studying ancient ruins/civilizations, having an interest in exploring ruins as he would do that to escape his family. Something to do that didn’t really involve monsters too much, and he could do something he loved. Deciding that's what he wanted to do. But was unsure on how to go about it with his family being around.

Due to a certain incident with Haku and his family he decided to run away from home, stealing one of the fishing boats he used with the fishermen, but due to his rushed nature/panic he didn’t make any checks to see if the conditions were right to sail. He wanted to sail towards the Pomore Garden, as he heard about a Felyne village there and wanted to spend a bit of time away from humans. But due to a storm got swept up and put out near Hakolo Island, which with no other close land in sight/loss of navigation he went towards the island.

When on Hakolo Island he ended up across the island from the village, and lived off the island for a few days hiding from monsters and using his knowledge on plants/etc that he had learnt from his family to live off the land. That is until a scout from Mahana Village found him and took him to the village. Haku was welcomed into the village by most of the villagers. The Chief Gara and Kayna being the only two to hear the full story from Haku. Chief Gara specifically taking Haku under his wing and now raising him.

The villagers found it quite funny Haku’s fear of monsters, but never fully teased him on it, maybe a comment occasionally but left it for the most part. Kayna would often try to get Haku to train to be a rider with her, but Haku for the most part was uninterested. Haku also didn’t like how his movement around the island was restricted by the village, not allowing him to go to certain parts of the island/out far without a monster/permission.

(around the age of 14) Haku snuck out of the village to explore some ruins along a beach on the other side of the island, one where he first landed near when he sailed to the island. And a place he wasn’t really allowed to go now. Wanting to raid the ruins for anything interesting to put into his room. Which after a few random artifacts he came across a kinship stone, and picked it up planning to dump it alongside all the other kinship stones without owners in the village.

But was attacked by a Green Nargacuga, which made him flee and hide, him using the sun and the kinship stone to shine a beam of light from the stone into the Green Nargacuga’s eyes to blind it for a second to get away.

After an hour of hiding he became aware of the tide coming closer to the ruins where he was hiding, knowing if he doesn’t move soon he could possibly be trapped if not killed by the waves.

Deciding then to move, despite hearing the faint signs of the Nargacuga still being around. He would move from ruined building to ruined building. Coming across a building that was fairly open, him seeing something black and bright blue in the corner, curiosity consuming him despite all the danger he was in. Due to how open the area was, the sun was hitting him, and the kinship stone in his hand.

Getting closer he stared at the item confused, the light of the stone shifting and hitting the object which when a crack appeared down the object, which Haku quickly realises what the object is. That object being an egg, and that he has accidentally started to hatch it. Haku being in the situation he’s in now, quickly rushes over to the egg trying to stop it from cracking more saying things like ‘nonono’ and panicking over it. But it being too late and the egg hatching. Revealing a strange looking Lagiacrus, a type he’s never heard about before.

Haku being horrified by it, and then hearing the Nargacuga getting closer as well making him whip his head back and forth from the Lagi to the entrance of the ruined building. Remembering all of Kayna’s talks about looking after their monsters and never giving up on them. Not wanting to abandon a baby he basically forced to hatch he would scoop up the Lagi despite not wanting it close to him he would continue his escape away from both the Nargacuga and the tide of the ocean.

After a while when he got back into the forest he was found by a search party, as he had been gone for too long, and they wanted to find him. He was relieved to see people from the village, but also knew he’d get telling off. Though him having a kinship stone and a baby Lagi in his arms surprised the search party and later the rest of the village.

Chief Gara and a few of the other elders of the village did give him a telling off, but were just glad he was safe. Chief Gara telling Haku what the specific Lagi was and saying it must have washed up in the ruins with another tide, asking Haku what he’d like to do with the baby. Haku still not having put it down yet.

Haku didn’t really want to have any sort of monster, still wanting to one day become a researcher of ancient civilizations. Which Kayna would pipe up, having been listening in on the scolding/talking about the monster, telling Haku that he could use the Lagi to dive and check out the flooded ancient civilizations. That no other researcher will be able to explore to the extent he could with a monster like this.

To which Haku stared at the monster in his arms, the Lagi having its head resting on his shoulder making light cooing noises to Haku.

Haku looking at this monster starts to feel bad about having wanted to ditch it, realising this whole entire time he’s been holding it, it’s never once shifted it’s head, it’s never took its eyes off of him. Kayna also makes a compelling argument, it would be nice to explore areas most wouldn’t be able too.

He decided to become a rider, in which Kayna started to train him. Haku also training to hold his breath underwater, as well as get used to the ocean. Starting to go on dives with the Lagi, who he names Zanka. Though they haven’t explored ruins in that time.

Which takes the story to the main events of the game,(Haku being around 15-16) though the protag isn’t Kayna’s first student in this. I also think the protag would be around the age of 14-15 (same goes for Kyle as he is a similar if not same age as main protag)

Haku journeys with the main protag but often splits off to do his own thing half of the time, or may stay back because of Zanka. As Zanka doesn’t really like all the light from the sun, and also wants to be around water.

Haku does go to Lulucion (Lamure) with the protag, as he’s worried about Ratha, plus with the ocean being around Lulucion he knows Zanka will be fine. He purposely hides when moving around Lulucion, and or actively stays out of the city if he can, avoiding his past life. He would have liked to have never returned, but his worry for the protag and Ratha is what makes him go. The protag may realise somethings going on with Haku, but Haku won’t say. Only saying why after the events of the main story.

During the ‘story’ Haku does end up going to the Pomore Gardens with the protag. And sees the destroyed Felyne village. Feeling a little responsible, as that's where he tried to get all those years ago on the fishing boat. Thinking if he actually made it to the village, and seen the place in chaos, he could have sailed back to Lulucion and gotten help for the Felyne’s. He knows its silly to think like that, but can’t help it. While there, he tries to help out the Felyne’s where he can, even helping out with very simple things. From there Haku splits off from the protag for a bit to go finally get help for the Felyne’s from Lulucion/the Scriveners.

When leaving Pomore Gardens he goes with Kyle, since Kyle was heading that way anyway, Haku still not really liking Kyle, but dreads travelling with just his monster. Preferring to travel alongside someone who knows what they're doing in a fight. Though Haku does bother Kyle a bit as he wants to use Zanka to cross the ocean to get to Lulucion quicker, whereas Kyle refuses to get on a monster, let alone get on one that's going to take them out to sea. So they follow the water instead, so Zanka can stay in the water as they travel on land.

When the protag and Haku meet again it’s back on Hakolo Island during the final act of the main story, he had already received a report on things that happened while away. The only one in the Oltura fight looking like he’s about to pass out due to his fear.

_____________________________________________________________

Haku is a relatively strange person, often seeming to flip emotions very quickly, when in reality he’s just dramatic. As a child he was super shy and a bit of a crybaby, but when push came to shove he could do some brave things (though some would argue that it’s not brave it’s stupidity). But after spending time on Hakolo Island he slowly grew into a less shy person, being able to grow in a community that didn’t punish him for failing or getting something wrong, who encourages him to fight for himself to do what he wants to do in life.

He’s become a fairly outspoken person and now not really afraid to say what he wants, though he’s also aware that sometimes he needs to take a step back and realise if he says something hurtful.

He’s dramatic in the way he talks, often enjoying saying over the top things, mainly to help with his own nervousness about a situation. He’s often fairly friendly, but when he doesn’t like someone he lets them know clearly. Often he may get into arguments with people no matter if he’s in the wrong or not.

Haku cares a lot for the main protag, seeing them as a sibling. Went with them to try to look after them, as the protag had never left the island till the main story takes place, is a little less afraid when fighting alongside the protag, fighting on behalf of the protag.

He’s always had a fear of monsters for as long as he can remember, despite not having any traumatic experiences with a monster. Every fight/hunt he’s in he does in fear, but over time in the story his fear somewhat turns into being a cautious fighter and one to notice little changes in a fight. His 3 weapon choices are sword and shield, hunting horn, and gunlance (in mhs2 choices) (if he could pick all weapon types his 3 weapons would be lance with full defensive skills e.g. Guard/Guard up/Offensive Guard, he’d have bow and hunting horn still)

During the story he learns to be less afraid of monsters, and also slowly starts to realise his dream of diving to explore ruins when he gets in contact with the Scriveners in Lulucion (Lamure). He learns to deal with difficult people (e.g. hunters, mainly Kyle).

_____________________________________________________________

Haku’s Abyssal Lagiacrus is called Zanka.

Zanka doesn’t really like being on land and is often found in any source of water it can get himself into. Is like the equivalent of a cat that wants to get into a box but can’t fit, but with water. He also doesn’t like the sun due to Abyssal Lagi’s mainly being in deep ocean so isn’t used to the light, likes the warmth of the sun though. When the group got to Lulucion (Lamure) Zanka tried to get into the water fountain in the middle of the city, even though he won’t be able to fit into it, which Haku grabbed onto him on his tail and tried to drag Zanka back to the stables.

Overtime of being raised by Haku, Zanka has semi picked up on how dramatic Haku can be and sort of acts like Haku. Even not really liking other monsters too much, as Haku is scared of monsters. Or when someone else tells him to do something he will refuse to do it, as it wasn’t Haku telling him. Often when people talk to him, he will flick his head upwards pointing his nose up at the sky and stare down at them from this angle to show he doesn’t like them ‘flick head away in disgust’.

Zanka doesn’t get along with many people, as over the years Haku has become confrontational towards people, which Zanka has picked up as well. Being a lot more critical and judgy towards people. Which isn’t too bad, unless Zanka picks up on the fact Haku doesn’t like someone then Zanka is an ass to that person. E.g. Kyle, will try to bite him or take things from him to throw or run away with, or just grumbles whenever he talks. Even though Haku has chilled out when it comes to Kyle, Zanka is willing to take this one-sided beef to the grave.

Haku has given it a hand command that if shown Zanka will start to screech. Haku does this when someone he doesn’t likes tries to talk to him, he can secretly give Zanka the command, and often scare people off with how loud Zanka is being, or have Zanka screech over the person speaking. Often Haku will have Zanka swim a bit out to sea, and make Zanka have his back out of water, so he can sunbathe on Zanka’s back and Zanka can mostly be in the water, so both of them are happy.

Zanka has headgear that often feature some sort of shade for his eyes. As being a monster that is used to low light/no light things the sun can be annoying if not could even hurt Zanka’s eyes. So Haku has headgear specifically designed for Zanka.

_____________________________________________________________

Haku's possible monster team/teams:

(Gonna try to avoid giving him deviants/elders, but will have a section for if I ever do draw/etc him with more powerful things) Elm = Element of the monster AT = Attack Type of the monster (Haku when picking 3 monsters for a smaller team will pick monsters with different Elm's and AT's)

Must be on team (if its a team of 6): -Abyssal Lagiacrus (Elm: Thunder | AT: Power) (Abysal Lagi isn't in mhs2, but it was in a side mobile mhs game thats now shutdown. mobile game didn't have any AT's so will make them up) (Also if he's choosing a team of 6 he always has Abyssal Lagi in the team, where as if it's a team of 3 he may choose another thunder monster to give his Abyssal Lagi a break)

Can be on main team:

Possibly on team (No particular order):

-Zinogre (Elm:Thunder | AT: Speed) -Brachydios (Elm: Fire | AT: Power) -Zamtrios (Elm: Ice | AT: Technical) -Glavenus (Elm: Fire | AT: Power) -Tobi-Kadachi (Elm: Thunder | AT: Speed) -Fulgur Anjanath (Elm: Thunder | AT: Power) -Palamute (Elm: can be any of the elm Palamute's | AT: Speed) -Shrouded Nerscylla (Elm: Non Elm Haku focused genes on status | AT: Technical) -Espinas: (Elm: Fire (also has a lot of poison/para) | AT: Technical) (Isn't in mhs2, but turning it into a monstie)

Deviants/Elders (No particular order):

-Lucent Nargacuga (Elm: Non but focus on poison status and kinship | AT: Speed) (isn't in mhs2, but it was in a side mobile mhs game thats now shutdown) (can also be Silverwind Nargacuga ((Elm: Non Elm | AT: Speed)) prefer Lucent cause of the poison thou.) -Crimson Glow Valstrax (Elm: Dragon | AT: Speed) (isn't in mhs2, but it was in a side mobile mhs game thats now shutdown) -Oroshi Kirin (Elm: Ice | AT: Speed) -Boltreaver Astalos (Elm: Thunder | AT: Technical) -Bloodbath Diablos (Elm: Non Elm | AT: Power)

_____________________________________________________________

Extra stuff (either about Haku or Zanka/his monster(s)):

-Zanka is a monster Haku has for a few years, before part way through the events of the main story/after the story Haku finally starts to get more monsters. Though he takes his time with each monster he has, but primarily sticks with Zanka

Names of his other monsters and their genders: -Stygian Zinogre = Wrio (M) -Legiana = Virtue (F) -Mizutsune = Sayomi (M) -White Monoblos = Anwar (F) -Bazelgeuse = Enya (F) -Zinogre = ??? (F) -Brachydios = ??? (F) -Zamtrios = Moza (M) -Glavenus = ??? (M) -Tobi-Kadachi = ??? (F) -Fulgur Anjanath = ??? (F) -Palamute = ??? (F) -Shrouded Nerscylla = ??? (F) -Espinas = ??? (M) ____________________________

-Lucent Nargacuga = ??? (F) -Crimson Glow Valstrax = ??? (M) -Oroshi Kirin = ??? (M) -Boltreaver Astalos = ??? (M) -Bloodbath Diablos = ??? (M) (when I get more names for the monsters I will edit)

-Haku doesn’t truly have a fear of monsters. It’s more so the fear of disappointment, messing up. Due to how his family was the fear of his family and upsetting them manifested as a fear of monsters, both because of the ‘becoming a hunter’ aspect, and also the fact he didn’t want to blame his family, so the next best thing to blame is the monsters. A bit after the main story takes place is when Haku finally starts to unpack this information once he realises.

-Haku does have some wyverian within him, but for the most part is human

-Zanka has pink on him, due to having some dragon elemental attack within him, though it's not really used in his moveset.

_____________________________________________________________

Inspo’s:

-Haku shares a name with another oc of mine, though their looks are not similar, their personalities are a little similar.

-Haku’s diving mask is based off of Rudo’s mask (Gachiakuta).

(art by Kei Urana??)

-The comment about Haku’s eyes being able to be drawn wobbly is also in ref to Rudo’s eyes in the manga Gachiakuta.

-The Abyssal Lagiacrus (Zanka) has the name of the character ‘Zanka’ from Gachiakuta.

-An old design I made inspired both his eyes and hair. (won’t post that art here thou)

-Other inspo names for Haku’s other monsters, Stygian Zinogre = Wrio (Wriothesley - Genshin Impact), Zamtrios = Moza (mosasaurus but with a z instead of an s), (will add to when i get more names with inspos)

time to cause violence

whisper and surge bodyswap!

"God DAMN!" Surge blurted, hoisting up the sizable gut she now possessed, "How the hell do you run around with this monstrosity?"

"Fuck you," Whisper grunted.

"No, I'm serious," Surge cackled, "I didn't seriously think you couldn't see your own toes! I feel like I'm carrying a cinderblock with my abs."

"You don't have abs," Whisper hissed.

"Yeah, well, my build's certainly better than yours, Captain Von Eats-alot."

Whisper's eyes narrowed. Sparks emitted out of her new piercings.

"Though, I do gotta admit..." Surge said, gripping her new love handles, "I can kinda understand why you and Lamur like this bod so much."

Whisper's eyes began twitched, especially when she saw her own face looking back at her with Surge's signature shit eating grin.

"Tell me, Wolfy...she ever asked you to sit on her-"

In an instant, Surge felt her neck grabbed and slammed against the wall. The wolf possessed tenrec in front of her glowing with stored up fury and electricity. It was haunting seeing Whisper's livid snarl looking at her with her own face.

"You may be forgetting whose body I now have..."

"Eep!" Surge squeaked, "W-Well, d-d-don't forget whose body you g-gotta return to at some point! You'd be an idiot to try and break your own bones."

Whisper squinted, and said nothing as she continued to pin Surge to the wall.

"How about a deal? I-If one of my girlfriends ever gets chubby, you pop the same question on me and we trade answers? How about that?"

"There is not a chance in hell Amy, Blaze, or Honey gets chubby."

Surge chuckled smugly, "And what about the one girl you didn't name?"

Whisper paused...and after a second let go of Surge's throat.

#whisper the wolf #surge the tenrec #i just realized but i think you asked this on the wrong blog lol

Surge, which members of the Diamond Cutters do you think you can take in a fight.

"Lamur, Wolfy ('cause I've done it), Lambchops, uhh...Yeah probably just them. Those two newbies got the muscle and the...bombs to take me down. But the OG trio? I think I can take 'em."

Whisper: Surge, I need to know something and you're the only one I trust enough to be completely honest with me Surge, half paying attention while flipping through a book about old timey insults: Shoot. Whisper, embarrassed: Do you......do you think I've gotten fat? Surge: Bitch I think you, like me, are finally fucking getting three square meals a day plus snacks and treats. Difference is that my fucked up metabolism keeps the pounds away. Whisper, visibly distraught: So yes? Surge: Yeah a little, but it clearly hasn't affected your ass kicking abilities and Lamur sure as shit doesn't care. Pretty sure she would flay herself alive if you asked nicely enough. Just hit the gym with Lanolin and I if you're that bothered by it. Bring Lamur with if you want. Whisper, sincere: Thank you Surge Surge, turning back to their book: Whatever Whisper: Wait, if your metabolism does all the work, why do you go to the gym? Surge, without thinking: I like to watch Lanolin workout Whisper:......................... Surge, realizing what she just admitted: uuuuuuh Whisper, extremely smug: So you like to watch Lanolin workout huh? Surge, red in the face and panicking: ASUFDNQPUWNXCZF SHUT UP YOU WHITE-LIVERED DUNDERHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!

*Surge zooms off leaving a laughing Whisper behind*

An Afterthought

Reverto shares a moment with you, the young rider protagonist, after the fight with the Cephadrome in the caves.

#10 "You know I'll always be here, right?"

Hope you enjoy! @kizzorelli

The Barrens, much like the Lamure Desert, were hot and dry during the day but tended to get cold at night. The presence of the ocean gave way to a slight breeze here and there, making things even cooler in the evening. Most of the monsters in this region began to settle down for the evening except for a few predators.

You and Reverto have just defeated a Cephadrome for Scrivener Commander Lilia as the monster had caused a Plesioth to disturb life in the Barrens. The hunter feels as though he has taught you a few things when it comes to understanding everyone's perspectives, but he could also tell you were a little distracted.

Of course, he understood you were worried about Ratha. Reverto knows riders well enough to see that there is kinship between you guys. You can probably feel the wyvern's fear and stress.

This whole experience has been an eye-opener to him when it came to riders and their bond with monsters. Perhaps you taught him a little something too.

But right now, he had to deal with a never-ending human need. Nature was calling.

"I'll just wait here, I guess." You told him with a shrug, not really understanding why he couldn't wait. Lulucion was literally right over there.

"Be back in a jiffy." Reverto said with a quick wave while wandering off to find some privacy.

As he left, you meandered over to Navirou, who was perched on top of a rock near a palm tree along the shoreline. A few Ludroth were dipping into the water to begin their nightly hunt, but other than that, all was peaceful. You said a few words to your loud-mouthed Felyne companion as you sat down and leaned against said boulder he was on.

"Really? He needs to pee! Gimme a break..." Was all Reverto heard before he finally tuned the annoying guy out...

Not too long later

Reverto pushed back some brittle and dry shrubbery as he made his way back to the shoreline where you were. After breaking through the brush, he dusted his hands off before noticing a familiar striped patterning off in the distance.

A Tigrex had left its den to begin hunting. Best get back to you and back to Lulucion as soon as possible.

Although, if push came to shove, Navirou would be a good snack for it. The thought made Reverto laugh as you came within his sights.

However, he noticed the moonlight reflecting off your face and the slight puffiness of your eyes. Have you been crying? Also, Navirou was missing, and you were all on your own. Did you guys get in some sort of fight? The idea that you were left here alone made him paranoid for some reason.

"Hey Y/N, where's Navirou?" Reverto asked. To be honest, he wasn't too worried about the Felyne as that cat still had plenty of lives to waste. But it felt rude not to ask.

"He was tired of waiting for you, so he went back to Lulucion on his own." You said while wiping at your face nonchalantly. The hunter raised a brow with a "seriously" look on his face.

"Bro couldn't wait five minutes?"

"He's Navirou. I don't ask questions, and I don't expect normalcy."

"Fair enough."

The hunter studied your expression during this short conversation. You seemed distant and didn't have an ounce of humor in you. Now, you guys weren't the best of friends having just met, but his interactions with you while hunting the Cephadrome and being in the Barrens has shown Reverto that you normally have a much more upbeat personality. Not to mention the tear stains he saw when returning to you a few minutes ago.

Something was wrong and there was a little voice inside him saying to figure out what that is. So, instead of telling you to get up and get back to Lulucion, he plopped down beside you with his legs stretched out and arms leaning back. You turned to look at him, confused.

"You must miss Ratha." He stated plainly. It took you a moment to reply, not expecting Reverto to say that.

You nodded numbly.

"I've been with him since he was born. I mean, it's like that with all my monsties, but Ratha needs me more. I feel like a parent and the whole world is against him...it kills me inside to know that only I can see the gentle soul inside." You said while shaking a bit, moving to hug your legs as you stared out at the shoreline where the waves were gently lapping at the sand. Reverto eyed you with sympathy.

"Also..." You hesitated a little, turning your head away.

"Yeah?" The hunter pushed you.

"Truth is, I don't know if I am strong enough." You whispered, tears threatening to spill out as you voiced the bitter thought you've been keeping caged for a while.

For Reverto, your words just brought him back to the image of a young hunter, fresh from training. Armed with nothing but a longsword as he went to fight a Tigrex, wondering if he was strong enough. He shook his head at the memory from his youth.

"Hey, you are strong enough." Reverto encouraged you while sitting up in a cross-legged position. You just shook your head with a sad smile.

"I don't know if I believe that Reverto...and neither do you."

The hunter felt his face flush hot with guilt at your words. He didn't mean to make you feel so down on yourself. For some reason, he just wanted to see your strength. If Ratha proved to be a danger to others, he wanted to know you could keep everyone safe.

"I made a mistake. You more than proved yourself today. I bet Lilia already has Ratha waiting for you in town." He praised you while moving to pat your shoulder. While you still weren't back to your normal self, you did give him smile.

"How come you seem to always know what to say?" You asked while raising your head a bit to meet his eyes. Reverto flashed you a smile and simply shrugged.

"You aren't the first young rider that I've helped. And just like that other rider, you managed to teach me something new."

While you knew, from Navirou anyway, that Reverto wasn't a novice when it came to riders, it still surprised you how he can take on such a paternal role. You've known him for only a day but felt like you have known him your whole life. He definitely had mentor vibes to him.

"It's nice to know that you understand how I feel, especially as a hunter. Shows me that maybe we can all get along after all. You've got my back, right?" You said in a shy manner as you didn't want to overstep any boundaries with Reverto. His answer brought a smile to your face.

"You know I'll always be here, right?" The hunter said gently while moving to give you a friendly side hug. The entire interaction made you feel safe, and you melted into his side.

"Thank you."

He moved to release you and you both took to staring out at the sea where a Purple Ludroth had breached to take in some air. A few Ludroth followed suit, and they all swam together under the moonlight.

"By the way, what did I happen to teach you?" You asked while turning to look at him. Reverto continued to stare at the leviathans as he answered you.

"That it's okay to be afraid."

You smiled to yourself and once again joined in observing the beauty of nature as the monsters peacefully splashed about before diving under the azure waves. Sighing to yourself, you wished the peace could last a little longer.

But just then, the loud stomping of a large monster brought you and Reverto to your feet.

A Tigrex, much like the one the hunter saw earlier, has emerged from the shrubbery away from the shoreline, cornering you and Reverto against the sea. I guess you guys were its chosen targets for the night.

"I'm sure glad it's okay to be afraid." You stated meekly.

"You and me both." Reverto said while reaching for his weapon.

The choice was fighting or braving it with the leviathans in the sea. Placing its forelimbs against the ground, the Tigrex raised its head and roared in a furious manner. Its wings flared out in a sign of dominance.

While you were practically shaking from the sudden encounter with the monster, you felt an odd sense of peace when you looked at Reverto. He would protect you and you would protect him.

And when the fight was over, he handed you a mega potion with his signature toothy grin. After all, he'll always be there for you.

@rathalascendant || kelbi sounds so good rn actually

He was hungry, Kyle noted as he woke for the... third? Day tucked somewhere in a nook along a rocky wall. He was pretty sure they were still somewhere in Lamure Desert, though given he hadn't been fully conscious for the escape, he had no idea where. It felt like somewhere along the outskirts, but without any real landmarks it was hard to tell.

The lack of food and water weren't helping either.

The rathalos was still there too, just outside the rocky not quite cave he'd been stuffed into. He figured it was keeping watch, though why it hadn't left him yet was a mystery. They weren't friends and he'd helped separate it from its rider. Why was it sticking around?

"Hey." Kyle shifted, shoving himself up against the rock to help keep himself upright. "You. Ratha. What are you doing? Don't you have a rider to go find?"

Hey Surge, I could really use a hug.

Could you point me in the direction of a good hugger?

"Lanny and Lamur give good hugs. You can find them if you go that way," Surge said, point towards the Neo Diamond Cutter's office.

As you walk away you just miss Surge quietly mumble, "I can give good hugs too....."

Artwork wip of my new Monster Hunter Stories (2) oc. (Not in the same world as my other oc)

Haku's main monster is an Abyssal Lagiacrus called Zanka. Zanka specifically has a dive mechanic, so be able to explore underwater areas.

Kinship stone shares same colour as his eye. The armour isn't any know in-game armour, but a combo/fusion between several different armour sets. e.g. Cheval in mhs2 has custom blue ratha armour. So I wanted to give Haku custom armour.

He's not the main protag in the world, but travels alongside them. Though occasionally he splits off to do his own thing.

(more under cut)

_____

Very short version of his story:

Born in Lulucion (Lamure) to a hunter family, he didn't want to be a hunter, due to having an intense fear of monsters. He wanted to do research on things over actually deal hands on with monsters. Due to reasons he ended up exploring a lot of ruins, making him decide he wants to be someone who learns about ancient civilizations. And due to a particularly rough patch with his family he got into a boat and tried to sail to Pomore Gardens (for the Felyne Village), but got caught up in a storm and ended up at Hakolo Island.

Haku was after a few days found by a scout of Mahana Village and was taken there and Chief Gara took Haku under his wing and raised Haku. Haku didn't want to become a rider, but would still listen to any teaching Kayna gave him, mainly out of politeness. Haku wasn't allowed out of the village much without someone to protect him, or a monstie (which Haku didn't want). (In this time he also gets along with the main protag, haven't made an oc to fill that role yet)

Due to boredom Haku went to go explore the beach (he had snuck out the village) where he had first washed up since he remembered seeing some ruins there that he wanted to check out and raid for any interesting items. He ended up finding a discarded kinship stone, and then got attacked by a Green Nargacuga, forcing him to hide in the ruins.

The oceans tide also began to rise, which Haku knew it would drown him since the ruins will be taken underwater. During his escape he found an egg. And accidentally hatched it (see post about how i think kinship stones work) via the stone unintentionally shining on the egg.

The monster was an Abyssal Lagiacrus, Haku remembering Kayna's teachings about always taking care of a monster, no matter the situation, and the fact he kinda forced this egg to hatch, not wanting to leave a baby to fend for itself, picked up the Lagi and escaped the situation with it.

He was obviously told off for sneaking off and getting into a dangerous situation, but most punishment was avoided due to everyones confusion about the Lagi. The whole entire time the Lagi had never stopped staring at Haku. Which made Haku feel bad when he was deciding what he wanted to do with it. Kayna suggested to him that he could use the Lagi to explore underwater ruins, and be one of the first few people to do so. Which would allow Haku to work on his dream job while covering an area that was yet to be explored.

So Haku ended up keeping and naming the Lagi, Zanka. Haku would train with Zanka and train to dive, hold his breath and learn about the underwater world.

_____

The main story events take place a year or so later. But I will talk about that when I finish his ref. His age is 15-16, main protag is around 14-15 (basically a year younger than Haku).

I also talk a little bit more about Zanka in his full info as well, and I talk more about Haku's personality too.

_____

The armour inspo, thou a lot of these things I ended up not using.
