Story/Setting
WILL PROBABLY BE CHANGED AT THIS POINT

This game takes place in a new region(currently unnamed) in the Monster Hunter universe. The story follows a fairly well-known hunting group that mostly show their skills in arena shows. However, in a recent special Deviljho fight, one of their members had an unfortunate accident that led to his death. After a few weeks of coping and mourning, they feel as if they're ready to start looking for a new member. They agree that the best place to search for a new member is in the village Cosmotos. In the Cosmotos village, the annual meteor shower, "The Rain of the Cosmos", is beginning in a couple of weeks. During these couple of weeks, the village puts on the Festival of the Stars. During this time, hunters from all over gather to share stories, begin their first hunts, and gain a blessing from their god. As the festival begin, the hunting group begin to test worthy hunters in an arena against a Rathalos. (note, this is the tutorial quest. You get to try any weapon class with pre made armor sets like in an arena quest) You complete the quest, and the group is impressed with your skills. After all of the tests, the group decide to take a couple of days to decide. After a few quests, you are chosen to join the group. After some time, the meteor shower begins. However, an unnatural chill is in the air. A large meteorite with an unnatural, bright blue glow is seen flying overhead, and crashes on the other side of a mountain, distant from the village. Your group decides to check it out. But as you approach the crash site, guards from another nearby village appear and force you away. The group suspects something isn't right. Many questions surround the event. The village elder grows anxious. Plants have been mysteriously dying. And monsters have been more aggressive. Something is causing distress. And your group wants to know what is going on.

Trivia

 * The game was originally to be called Feral Instincts, but was changed due not wanting it to sound similar to the feral wyvern virus despite the English name of frenzy virus. Wyvern is also a bit more fitting for the monster hunter universe.

Cut Features and Stuff

 * There were going to be seasons but I decided that it would just make things a bit more complicated than they needed to be.


 * There were going to be new moth monster helpers that can be given small armor and can be fed certain food to change their elements, color, and ailments(I think halks do that). they were gonna be a combination of certain colors depending on their element/ailment and they would spread special powders to give buffs and such.

Creator's Notes
Well, i'll get more as I can. I know I'm missing quite a bit. I'll make edits when possible. Im fairly slow with this kind of thing, so please try to bare with me folks. Thank you for your time.


 * This game is going to have some parts that are fairly unnatural for monster hunter, but still staying as close to the main style as possible.


 * Graduated now, and I have a lot of free time. Still probably gonna be lazy, but i'll try a bit harder to work on this again.


 * Just going to say for anyone that's been actually into this, sorry its so slow. Depression can really take a lot out of a guy, haha.
