Icening

The huntress who wanted to dance (Monster Hunter OC account)

[icening-mh]

Hi, welcome here!

This blog is dedicated to my Monster Hunter OC, Icening! I wanted a place to share stuff about her such as drawings, pictures and headcanon trivias, and I hope you'll enjoy all of these!

I really love hunters interactions, so if you have an OC hunter and you want them to interact with Icening, DO IT! It's my fuel to art 😏

If you want to ask anything about Icening, feel free to use the dedicated button, I'll try to answer with doodles or pictures!

I solely post about Icening here, but you can find me on other socials (where I post about Monster Hunter in general as well 😁): here's my Linktree!

I want this place to be safe and chill, however some of my posts can contain light NSFW (I'll tag it anyway) so you've warned!

Happy hunting!

Happy Pride Month!

Icening's weapons

When Icening started to train to become a huntress, she tried to learn how to use her deceased sister's Switch Axe. It was the first weapon she ever carried but she didn't succeed to master it for different reasons - too complex for her, too many memories linked to this weapon as well. The more she was trying to master it, the more she fell ashamed of her incompetence - the more she fell she was betraying her sister's memory.

The Legendary Artisan (aka Legend) saw her struggling a ton of times but he got time to analyse the way she moved, the way she tried to manipulate the weapon. Despite her lack of skills, her gestures had something aerial, quite graceful, and as he wanted to help her, he restored her a pair of Guild Knight' Dual Blades no longer used by their previous owner. He had an eye for it: as soon as Icening got them, her training wasn't the same. She fell relieved and she improved a lot. Dual Blades were made for her.

But sometimes, to charge into the fray and to deadly swirl around the monster is not enough and you have to adapt. Later on the New World, Icening met Umbra - a hunter who became a friend, then a kind of father figure for her. As Umbra was specialized in engineering and explosives and prefered a "passive" approach of the hunt, he taught Icening his methods. He probably influenced Icening's way of hunting - anticipate, plan, adapt. It's how Icening started to master Gunlance, always with this surprising aerial style which seemed to make the weapon lighter than it really was. She liked all the possibilities it offered to her.

At this day, you'll almost always see Icening with her two favourite weapons: the Guild Knight's Dual Blades hanging on her hip and a Gunlance on her back. She never touched the Switch Axe again, even if she preciously kept her sister's. One day, she would love to learn Insectglaive and Long Sword.

No matter the universe I played her, Icening was always a dancer AND a heavy weaponry's user. As a consequence Dual Blades and Gunlance were the two weapons that fit her a lot and fortunately they're also weapons I LOVE! However I'm playing more weapons and I am particulary fan of the Great Sword and the Bowgun's feeling (two weapons Icening won't master as she finds GS too bulky and she's really bad at aiming for any Bow or Bowgun :D). I also appreciate to play Insectglaive and Hunting Horn time to time! Thanks to @dual-hunters-mh who inspired me to make this post with their post!

A bunch of stupids.

Gemma and Icening's daily routine (some mornings are tougher than on other ones...)

When Peekaboo the Wudwud and Icening the Huntress are exploring, Peekaboo likes to climb on Icening's head to enjoy a better view. A particularly unsettling thing for Icening, as she's allergic to Lynians.

However, with time, she noticed a slight difference, as if her metabolism started to accept the presence of the little creature around her. As a consequence she started to enjoy their exploration a little more. She's more receptive to Peekaboo's amazement and she learned to enjoy simple things again, as butterflies flying around them.

In a way, Peekaboo healed her inner child - in addition to, apparently, her allergy.

Another Icening fact: she has trouble seeing up close. She's supposed to wear prescription glasses but she hates them. That's why she always gives her documents to her handler like "read while we're heading to our objective" (reality: she can't read sh*t).

The rare moments when you can see her with them is when she needs to aim (and she's surprisingly terrible at aiming... What a coincidence :D)

Strange thing tho: she LOVES wearing sunglasses. 🤷

Allow me to introduce you to Icening.

The hunter of @icening-mh

I just love it when people love their OCs. I love to hear their stories and background and love it when we get more details of their lives.

[icening-mh]

What??! Thank you so much, It's not something I expected to see today, you made my day :') I'm so happy to see that people like Icening 🥹​ I'll share more of her story, I promise!! For now, I'm still working on her novel... 👀​

Icening's new armor!

Back in the New World, Icening decided to cut her hair on an impulse. For her, it was a way to cut the cord with her younger self, with the tragic events that led her to become a huntress - without success.

[icening-mh]

No more fear.
