Kyle Headcanons (again)

Been thinking about Kyle (again) especially as I go through the artbook but my newest thought is that he more-or-less falls into a job at the Schriver's Lodge as an adult and he's not entirely sure how he feels about it, if he's being entirely honest.

Like he's climbed the ranks up to G/Masters, because his family traditional and his own pride wouldn't accept anything less, but he definitely thought he'd be doing the super glamorous, extremely heroic quests? The kinds that get you immortalized as the Savior-of-So-and-So? Maybe it does bother him a little more than he'd like to admit that his best friend is Mahanan Champion and his brothers' are wracking up achievements and he's just... here. But Reverto taught him and he learned and he climbed the ranks and then he kind of stuck around with the Scrivener's Lodge like a stray cat that refuses to be chased off.

It's not even like he doesn't go on the big quests. He's called up for fortress defense. He gets to travel further off the beaten track than he'd ever dreamed of. But he and Reverto tend to be called up the most frequently when Lilia needs an official field escort. Reverto might be the more approachable of the two, but Kyle's the one with a Mahanan Champion best friend to vouch for him, so he's assigned a lot of the "delicate" work when Riders start getting jumpy about Hunters but not jumpy enough to confront them directly (he personally thinks this is absurd, but so far he hasn't messed up as badly as that time he was 16). He's been sent on wild goose chases to hunt down illegal egg quest doers, and then had to run for his life while trying to return the stolen goods back to the wild where they belonged. He's had more uncomfortable run-ins with poachers and Guild Knights than the rest of his family combined. He even spent 2 weeks hunting down a monster once because he needed to dart it so it could get stitches for a torn wing. He'd returned with some rare shards, but otherwise no glory. This does not actually bother him until he's fairly deep into the cups on pub night.

He gets an office in the Lodge though and a pretty sweet PTO package. This is just... not the life he imagined for himself when he used to picture what hitting the top ranks meant. People constantly think he's at a lower rank than he actually is and it pisses him off. He gets a Palamute at some point but his coworkers swear that there's actually a new dog with him every couple of months. He refuses to elaborate on it, and Tsukino calls him petty.

More of the MonsterHunter!AU. This time with Gaz.

Context: an Ichneumon is a creature typically depicted a looking similar to a mongoose or stoat. It is considered the enemy of dragons, much like how the mongoose is a snake killer in real life. So basically imagine being Gaz’s mongoose girl lol.

Gaz is known as a specialized hunter— he doesn’t go after just any monster. He’s a dragon slayer. Dragons are hard to find and even harder to kill, but their processed bodies produce a fortune’s worth in raw materials and lean meat.

Gaz doesn’t hunt you, he buys you. Nikolai is another hunter in his guild, but is far better known for his skills as a tamer. Creatures like ichneumon come pre-loaded with all of the killing instincts, they just need some socialization.

To be honest, you’re something of a runt, but in Gaz’s line of work especially, little things can kill things much bigger than them just fine.

You’re kitted out with a sheepdog’s collar. It has outward prongs to protect your neck from the teeth of other creatures.

Your tactics as a duo are tricky. You claw your way up the body of the colossal beast, biting and scratching as it begins to panic and thrash. This diversion frees up Gaz— he has the time and opportunity to line up his crossbow and shoot the dragon where it can kill it, right in the soft underbelly when it rears up to throw you.

He always saves you a healthy portion of the dragon’s meat as a treat. When you’re not working, your pronged collar is replaced by one that glitters and gleams with the scales of different dragons. You and Gaz have matching earrings made from dragon bones, blessed for your protection.
