Decided to post Szo at the depths if anyone feels any desire to visit

Szo exhaled through his nose, eyes focusing in on blue heron with curiosity. It was something Szo often did when faced with birds. The Pterosaur-like monster lowered itself down gently to be met with a small sound as the bird reared its own head back and lowered itself. Szo recognized the sound though he was not of the same species as a questioning sound. A vocal question mark as it glanced at him but did not run. These creatures, much like the ones he knew, were not as inclined to fear even faced with an older and larger cousin. Szo returned the question with a small bell like sound. Non-hostile but questioning on its own. It was always fascinated to learn some line of the mighty beasts it often hunted with, fought with, and lived alongside had somehow become these things. Small and inconsequential almost. There were larger types of course but they endlessly fascinated the winged being anyway. He reared up again and with another bell like sounds he's stalk away and spread his enormous wings. It took only a few flexes, a mighty wind and he'd be off into the air and flying again. He circled around the beautiful lake for a moment, peering down with red eyes at the beauty of his home. Szo had been here for some time since Lune found him and it still impressed him how great this place was. It reminded him of the Island he had found while others died around him, the beauty and bounty that seemed almost endless. It wasn't perfect. Monsters weren't always meant to be in close contact like this but Szo felt safe here. He didn't imagine everyone did of course. He had flown over to the Heartstone core and saw....something interesting. He could recognize the cries of a female of the younger species quite easily and she did not sounds too pleased at least initially. Szo had gotten quite used to the tones of these young species and could discern what they meant more easily but he chose no to interfere. The younger beasts had their own way of doing things and as he understood it? This place was designed to allow them the space to do just that so long as no serious harm came to anyone and so the black-scaled king of the sky left and came here....to the depths. Why? Well he was quite hungry. It just so happened he was distracted by the presence of the young avians who often hung around. This was his home. The water. The Sky. It was freedom. He flew around, twisting his large ebon body through the air until he suddenly curled his wings and began to fall. Down. The air rushing over the hardened scales that had seen disasters and battles he was unlikely to see again. His eyes focused on the crystal waters as his shadow overtook it. Shrinking. Shifting and then. Splash! The water parted with ease and the large dark form of the monster vanished beneath the waters and into the depths. It took moments for the surface to still again and for the previously interested birds to lose focus as they tended to do. All was quiet at the depths. All was serene. It was a rare treat for the animals and the beasts. There were no humans to hunt them and though there were predators around that was just life. They only needed to listen, but beyond that. Silence. Golden. ...and then it was broken. A large shadow rose up from the waters and burst through. Fish! A number of them trying their hardest to escape. The sky-born monster landed on the ground with the fish tails in its large and imposing beak. Food. Food was good. It tossed the fish into the air before catching them moving its head as they slid deeper and deeper into its odd blue mouth and vanished into the gaping maw. Good. Szo would shake, getting rid of excess water before it stalked over the grounds again and began to call. A rough, bell like sounds. An alarm sound mixed with the subtle screeching signaling its pleasure. Life was good. It was alone. The last of its kind. It seemed not even the Pterosaurs its considered its brethren had survived but Szo was here and he was happy. He wished a certain dragon had gotten to survive this long but...he was here. He folded his wings and began to walk about near the edge of the water.

Oh man poor Mina!

No respect for ritual. He'll have to show em how they did it in the land before time! Lol poor bunny though just trying to heal a wolf and gets a crash course on sanctuary activities lol that fox in her backstory really was just unlucky

These damn younger monsters and their instant gratification! Whatever happened to chasing your prey a little before mounting them?

Szo just flying over shaking his head seeing all this. At least make a game of it first.

Whole situation would be a great advertisement or deterrent for anyone looking to apply for a job or stay at the Sanctuary "It took just one of caretakers all of five minutes to get raped by a werewolf. Apply now!"

Name: Jinhai Kao Title: The Goldfire Spear Species: Human Age: 36 Gender: Male Height: 6'8" ------------ Personality: Jin is an affable if, somewhat, shifty man who keeps his cards close to his chest. He's a lover of games and riddles who seems easy going and more than willing to roll with the punches. He's a little vain, but not unaware. He's cunning and can often seem pretty manipulative willing to play the situation to get what he desires. He's a person who values a more subtle type of control rather than showy displays. He lives to observe, study, and categorize everyone around him and can give of an unsteady air....but he's not an evil sort of person. He may be slightly amoral at worst, but he does care which he prefers to show in small gestures and action. ----------- Physical Ability: Jin is a supernaturally gifted spearman and has trained with it to the point where it seems almost as natural to him as breathing. He's developed a good level of strength above most humans as any Hunter would but he's focused mostly on speed and seems to move about with almost supernatural speed. It can actually almost seem like he's teleporting when he decides to move. ---------- Hunter Abilities: His particular brand of Spearmanship is a special school that allows him to 'bend fire' by heating the air around him and weaponize it as well as utilize his own mana to increase his abilities in bursts which produces heat. He can use it without a spear though its application only reaches its full potential with it. ---------- Sexual Characteristics: Jin's cock if 10 inch cock with a 4.5 inch girth. He's a mostly romantic but firm sort of lover who focuses on driving his romantic partners wild by playing on their desires and sensitivities but he's always in control. He hotter than average amount of semen with exceptional virility. --------- Bio (Small): Jin has always loved monsters. He grew up in a small village that was in pact with a local Earth spirit who defended them from bandits and the like. The boy was part of the offering committee they often put together to give thanks to the spirit and he was entranced by the beauty of the monster. A goddess they knew her as and she taught them more of the incredible creatures that existed out in the world both good...and bad. When it came time for Jin to choose a career he initially became a shine guard to protect the Earth Spirit. He grew close to her and happily accepted the lessons. He accompanied her when she ventured outward and protected her and in doing so got to see first-hand just how wonderful the world was. He eventually decided that to see more of his beloved monsters he had to leave they village in the valley. He was blessed by the Earth Spirit upon doing so and left to join a temple for awhile who specialized in connection to spirits and monsters. Once he was strong enough he was able to leave and thus began a career of "hunting" as it were. He did slay evil monsters but more often than not he would seek to woo and persuade the monsters he met to turn to a different path in order to end things bloodlessly when he could. He would also fight cruel hunters when need be. He met Lune during his travels all over the world. A woman who shared his love of monsters and though he didn't know it at the time he'd end up meeting her again when he learned of her wonderful sanctuary. He resolved to visit and enjoy the wonderful...offering she had there when she could. Jin couldn't imagine a more worthy endeavor truthfully! He's a mere guest but he's also been more than happy to guide monsters there so that they might find peace....and love.

Potentially put through her paces on the first day lol

I'll probably post Szo somewhere as well later once I've caught up on some stuff on my end

That is true. Its a space for love and these monsters gotta mate and all that and a lovely hunter might not always be around.

Szo is a peaceful creature. He just wants to fly, eat, swim, fuck, and try to find out why the dinosaurs got so small. He'd happily spar with anyone just to keep those instincts sharp though.

To think so low of Szo! He's millions of years old what would he look like scuffling with these young upstarts!

She certainly has her pick of experiences at the moment! Hopefully Luna can help her out.

Hey as long as she's a monster fucker then she belongs! Probably can be played but this is more like a sanctuary for horny people. I think they're just called hunters cause that technically their job but its like a wild-life preserve Except you fuck the beasts I'll probably make a few hunters myself at some point but for now I just feel like playing a Totally-Not-A-Pterosaur

Kojo wasn't bothered by the scent of blood. He'd smelled it plenty though it was never pleasant. His eyes cast to the prints pointed to him. Phantoms didn't make imprints which was a reassuring fact but as he continued to stare, as his eyes adjusted to the dark more the mystery only deepened more. He knew the system of pulleys and he knew the material they tended to use for them. Rope was the most common but the cables didn't look like rope. Newfangled steel cables was all the rage too. It didn't snap as easily but it did tend to glint in the light at times. These cables didn't look like either of those. There were ways to make them more invisible but these were....something else. He recalled the speed with which the phantom rose but....that meant someone else was pulling the string right? These didn't work on their own. Two people? Why would two people have it out for Silas? It felt like the mystery only deepened. Stage hands used them often or they were used with props. The illusion, of course, of flight and dreams but these were different. This place had the money of multiple wealthy backers and yet? He'd never seen these before. He practiced with the stage hands and knew the material. He'd never seen this before. How did anyone set this up without him knowing? His eyes moved downward to more prints and he followed them in silence and wondering until he found yet another clue. It was a mass of those cables and plugs he'd never seen. He could tell they were removed from their origin. He traced them more to find the web and his eyes widened. How? How had anyone set this up? It couldn't have been set up in a single moment and yet none of them know? His mind poured over the possibilities. He ran through his memories but he wasn't always with the stage hands especially when enmeshed in practice or at home. Someone had managed to do this under their noses. This wasn't theirs. He moved to possibly correct it when he heard...her. He knew that voice and he knew that tone. He'd been in contact and contract with the woman it belonged to for many years now and always always her tone of voice caused the feeling at the base of his skull to intensify even if just a little. He moved to the edge of the catwalk and looked down to see her, peering down to meet a familiar gaze. Kirsa. His employer. It seemed she wanted him down and to leave it to these fools but what would they know about this? He looked back in Billy and Carter's direction "I'll be down in one moment Kirsa. I know the theater better than our...distinguished lawman. It would be prudent of me to have a proper look." he spoke downward, projecting his voice loud enough to be heard. He knew the acoustics of the theater well. His accent shifted to being more in line with her own, foreign. German. It wasn't as though he had to twist his accent when speaking to her the same way he did with others. He wanted another look. If it was quick it would be quick but he'd look again. Someone managed to set this up under their noses but he wanted to see if it was a professional job or if it was the work of an amateur or someone really knew what they were doing and they had managed to get up here unnoticed for the most part. Where did the blood actually come from? He had to at least know how they got up here. He just had to take one more look around.

Seems neat to me!

Glad my quick little profile provided some use and liked the added details. Very nice character.

Being a caretaker around a bunch of (potentially) horny monsters is a bold endeavor lol

Well I wouldn't imagine that the Hunters have to be human. Might just be about intent based on where they go.

Oooooh those are cute! Got a monster posted up myself too. Kept it primal.

EkSzolt "Szo" "Sky-born Anomaly" Species Name: Vathýtero Age: Prehistoric Gender: Male Size: 1.8 Meters standing, 10.9 Meter wingspan Preferred Habitat: Forests, Lakes, Oceans, Aeries ------------ Personality: Szo is a highly intelligent and playful example of his kind. He has a great curiosity and surprisingly personable nature. He's a free spirit, enjoying his time flying around, sleeping and exploring. He is, however, a bit rough in his play and doesn't understand the concept of personal space or moderation. He does what he wants, when he wants, and how he wants but he's not trying to be cruel when it happens he's just a little mischievous. He's otherwise more than willing to live in harmony with almost anyone and anything as long as they don't try to control him and don't try to hurt him. He is, if need be, capable of great aggression especially when those marked as part of the 'nest' are endangered but otherwise he is a non-aggressive sort who just wants to live and explore. You can always count on him to be helpful through especially if there is a good reward involved...and he does very much like his rewards. Szo quite like hunting prey whether it be for real food or "Sexual food" marking others as his favorite meal he'll happily hunt and take advantage of anytime he is able. Szo is actually fully capable of communication though not generally with words. ----------- Physical Ability: EkSzolt is capable of incredibly quick and precise flight over long periods of time, as well as swimming rather quickly in water. While his kind can be quick on land it is clearly not meant to be their main mode of operation though they can be ridden. They have great physical strength able to lift full grown hunters into the air wish ease, use their claw (primarily used for fishing) to cut through other creatures scales and climb, and lift large river monsters. They are covered in scales that provide them moderate defense but are mostly used to blend into dark areas underwater and allow water and air to slide over them with little to no resistance. The main ability of the species deals with their fairly supernatural control over sound with a wide and deep ability to manipulate Soundwaves for offense, defense, and other uses. This allowed them to dominate their niche and punch above their weight class though it also tires them out rather quickly. ---------- Sexual Characteristics: Szo, much like his species, sports several translucent prehensile tendrils that remain hidden away when not in use. These phallus extend up to 2 feet and can be manipulated independently or 'coiled' together when rougher mating is needed....or desired. Their emissions are also quite heavy and parting multiple eggs though without a proper host the eggs are inactive and more like soft, smooth gemstones. Szo himself actually quite enjoys sex and registers it as part of the games he enjoys playing and even seems to understand the concept of his partner's pleasure. They also have a shockingly long and slimy tongue. Their semen glows a light blue and tastes slightly minty. --------- Bio (Small): Szo's specials are a special form of Archosaur seemingly related to Pterosaurs though their nature. They are, of course, monsters however with origins supposedly related to areas where demonic activity is heaviest especially in regards to errant portals...or at least it was before they went mostly extinct except for Szo. Szo was born quite some time ago and lived quite happily. His particular flock had practically dominated the area for a few million years with their only rivalry being that of the sea dragons who often competed with them for resources. Szo's flock often engaged in war with the dragons though Szo in particular was never quite so interested and actually made friends with a dragon who thought the same. The two grew up together, hunted together, and in time even acted as 'peacemakers' of sorts between their species. Time would pass of course when disaster struck and this forced the two species into war again as well as with others. Szo's people were able to survive easily but the conditions forced the dragons to hunt Szo's flock and Szo's flock to hunt the dragons in an effort to survive. Szo refused to participate only working to keep his friend safe and do whatever he could to help but things were dire and as their species warred Szo and the dragon left embarking on a dangerous journey to find a new home that could hopefully serve as a new home but the further they went the more dangerous it got. Years and years passing until they found a remote island protected from the disasters that often made life hard. They never got to share it as they were attacked by a creature protecting its territory. It was a battle they did win, but Szo's friend was fatally wounded and died shortly after....but Szo had found a new home. He attempted to fly back to his Flock and perhaps guide them but found his original home empty. His flock dead and the dragons gone. He was alone. He made his way back and made his home on the island where he lived peacefully until another unspecified disaster that essentially froze Szo in time. He emerged again in the modern day and in a new world which he happened to terrorize confused and became a mere legend people told each other of (and even considered a hoax) until circumstances found him in the sanctuary. His name EksZolt as actually given to him by a researcher who attempted to capture him several times. He quite liked the sound so adopted it officially.

Kojo watched Boone pocket something he picked up off the ground curiously. It had an odd look to it, a strange shine? Was it some poor woman's broach? Some unfortunate gentleman's pocket piece? He had no idea but he was certain the Deputy would attempt to pawn later. It wasn't his concern for now but...something about it did concern Kojo. The man pushed it away as she helped smooth his coat on Alicia, not concerned about the stains it was likely collected from the blood that adorned her. Kojo wasn't worried about the coat and only turned to look at Missy. His strange eyes locked on hers for a moment as he returned the nod and to Alicia as she thanked him quietly for the coat. He chuckled "You ladies do get home safe and be careful at the Golden Stag. The lights of the Saloon doesn't make gentlemen of beasts." but he could at least be sure they'd be away from these fools...for now. Kojo was staying though and with Alicia covered and the ladies off he'd stand up and put his hands on his hips. "Now gentlemen. Lets take a look at those wires." he said hoping they didn't keep to much attention on the ladies as they left. He'd have to collect his coat from Alicia later but for now he was complying with the law and made his way over to the ladder. He undid his bowtie in the meantime and shoved it into his pocket as he moved over to the ladder at the side of the stage and started to climb up to the catwalks. He wasn't sure what all was happening here. If there was blood it meant either someone else died up here or whatever they were dealing with was no ghost....but ghost or not someone did die. It was no less dangerous and whoever this phantom was had to have known how to navigate right? Once up to the catwalks he made his way over to the wires to get a good look at them. He was familiar with this theater and everything in it. A musician knew their grounds. They knew the acoustics, and what every part of the performance did. He looked around, ignoring the needy hum that was growing more oppressive on the stem of his brain to see if he could make a good deduction of what might have happened up here and why these wires were covered in blood. -------------------------------------

Yeah I kinda figured maybe you'd wanna set that scene even if they aren't there instantly. Fluff it up stuff like that. If not then I'll go ahead and post with Kojo

Kojo is staying behind for a moment Alicia and Missy are going though they're going to change first Figured you might write to set that up or check on the butler or something though. Its a bit of a brief split atm.
