Hunters

Basics
The hunters are a group of rather dark individuals that often hide in the cliffs and shadows of eastern Freerealms. The usual uniform is some color of rouge outfit, however there is no dress code. Contrary to popular belief, the hunters do not hunt cats, wolves, or anyone else by species. They hunt whatever threatens them or their kin/allies. Their code consists of 5 basic rules(listed) and several other smaller ones. Our dark, rather threatening behavior comes from the history of constant attacks. Hunters are almost always armed, and will call in backup if threatened. Where there is one, there is usually more. They defend kin with their lives(or at least our physical forms for the dead ones) and will sacrifice anything. They do not randomly attack enemies unless they have declared us an enemy.

Code
1) A Hunter never tells a lie.

2) A Hunter never breaks a promise.

3) A Hunter respects their kin and higher-ups.

4) Only strike first if they have struck before.

5) Defend your kin at all costs.

Species In the Hunters
The species within the hunters are not one. Twolegs, dragons, cats, wolves, werewolves, demons, gods, whatever is accepted. The only real requirement is loyalty. There is a mix of living, undead, dead, and spirits as well.

Diet
The main diet of a hunter consists of snakes, various marsh plants, frogs, larger prey such as deer. They will eat their enemies, as food large enough to sustain us is hard to come by. Dark as it is, they believe in honoring the memory of the enemy, not the corpse. Blood is a main stable of a few diets, such as the leader's

Religion
The hunters have no set religion (such as starclan), though some do follow various ones. Religion is a private matter and is not governed by a leader.

Meet the Hunters
This going to all hunters editing this page: Keep it clean, and get approval first. Golden sees anything nasty, and someone's losing an eye.(These will be updated frequently)

Golden Hawk(Golden1 Hawk)- Position: Leader; Age: Pffft XD Dont know in cat years. Ancient.

I'm calm til im agressive, nasty til im nice, and pretty much a prickly cactus most of the time. I rule with an iron fist(ask the hunters about punishments) and do not tolerate misbehavior, disobeying orders, speaking out of turn, arrogance, ignorance, and annoyance.

My species is several things. I am a creature called a shadow. Shadows are basically undead hunters tied to the earth by a promise. We have no heartbeat but otherwise need to eat and drink to have energy. My blood is a toxic acid, so those that attempt to bite me are probably going to be regretting that. I work with poisons, coating my claws in them. I have 3 forms: Dragoness form, human, and a shadow form..just a cloud of purple-ish shadow.

My origional species was a dragoness demon, but i hid as a cat for some time. Mountain clan, Oak Clan, Nightfall Clan, and several others i've forgotten the names of. I have quite a depressing history so i'll make it quick: The origional hunters was ruled by a selfish leader, after power, and her demands required me to destroy my brother and several other Old Hunters. I miss them dearly. In the end most of us were slaughtered or scattered by the leader, who died from her own power trip. Let this be a lesson: Too much power kills you. Or..ya know..everyone that wouldve saved you.
