                                                    HUGE UPDATE NOTICE

I say I wasn't dead, then disappear for almost half a year. However, with this post comes with some updates and potential revamps of Roxanne's character. I will be revamping this blog with numerous additions:

Rewritten and Created Verses

I'm going to be rewriting Roxanne's backstory in her original verse. This will include established relationships, rival monster(s), and more! This verse itself will feature two seperate entities. The main one will be the current one you see here for Monster Hunter Rise's base game. The other entity will be created once I have completed the Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak expansion storyline.

I have completed Monster Hunter World and is currently venturing through the Iceborne expansion for the past week and I'm having such a wonderful time. With that in mind, I will be making an AU verse where Roxanne is the Sapphire Star of the Fifth Fleet. The same backstory proces will come into here as well. This AU will have two seperate verses between Base Game and the Iceborne Expansion. 

Writing Style

Until further notice, my writing of Roxanne will be iconless! I will still format my replies/starters such as I had before with some tweaking, however the usage of the current icons I made of her is very outdated at this point.

Roxanne's personality/accent will be rewritten to fit the true aesthetic I have made for her. She begna out as a Splatoon OC that I have been writing for close friends for a while, and rereading the replies I have done in the past..really felt like I was forcing her accent a bit too hard. So consider any previous threads to be dropped, but there will always be room for more threads in the close future(prolly tomorrow at latest). 

I will be updating this blog as I go, but consider my involuntary hiatus over!

[kamuraheart]

I AM..NOT DEAD. I recently hit a heavy writer's block due to finals and the exhaustion therein. Though I have also been focusing on Ms. Harris for the time being. I'll be back on this blog hopefully soon!

Yomogi had lived through the era of the calamity herself and had witnessed its end, therefore being familiar with the tale. However, it was that same story through the eyes of the Hunter of Kamura that she was interested in. Novus could see the pain manifesting in the young chef’s expression when Roxanne touched her stomach, likely where a grave wound had been inflicted ( perhaps the girl is seeing outward signs of Roxanne’s trauma for the very first time? ).

Novus gathered as much ( in regards to the abdominal wound ) through context. Beyond that, he listened quietly and there was something in his eyes that acknowledged the impetus of hunting a beast on par with the Elder Dragons alone. Like he knew the terror of it and what it takes for human beings in all of their intellectual fallacies to slay a monolith of instinctual devastation. Somewhere along the way, Novus had exchanged a very humanly trait for something more animalistic to achieve such a feat himself, and he wondered if Roxanne had as well.

Finally, mention of a malicious spirit elicited more of a noticeable reaction from him ( brows scrunching nearer ), like it reminded the Fifth Fleet hunter of something he had already experienced in the lands surrounding Kamura. On his way here, he had chosen to busy himself in the study of small insectoid creatures, leaving matters of survival to the troupe of palicoes that had accompanied him here from the New World. Good training for the young ones, he thought, before discovering that there was something profoundly unsettling hanging in the air out there.

They heard entities singing to them in the night and briefly witnessed ghostly apparitions roaming the forests. Haunting roars echoed in the near and far distances, distorting their senses of danger and safety. It was different from the New World in that sense and he could understand why the inhabitants of Kamura might regard a monster such as Magnamalo as something of an otherworldly force largely beyond the reach of mortal influence.

As he contemplated, he nodded softly and allowed himself, and Roxanne, some time to gather their thoughts before his dimly lidded emerald irises raised to settle on her amethyst gaze again. 

“What were you faced with next?”

The scar from Magnamalo, and the presence refuses to leave her. However, that does not stop Roxanne from stopping this threat until the day she dies. She could feel it, straight through her hunting bones. There was a helpless smile from telling such a tale to another hunter. Despite Novus being a hunter of another region (perhaps), being able to share these stories felt relieving.

“ It twas not believed zhat Magnamalo was gonna be zhe end of zhe Rampage. No, we faced what was practically in charge of zhe Rampage. Whether zhey were directly involved or not is still a mystery, but as soon as I took care of it, things seemed t’have died down. Which makes me glad that you came in at abou’ the right time, haha.. “ 

She leaned back on her seat, in a more relaxed position. 

“ Bu’...zhat was when we ran into zhe-zhe Queen and zhe King of zhe Rampage, we call zhem. Of course, zhey were Elder Dragons posing a zhreat to zhe world. Tis just... “ Her hand waved back and forth, left and right, attempting to remember how this story can exactly be told, “ He searched for his “queen” for quite zhe long time, zhat zhe zhoughts of zhe serpent possessed themselves into one of zhe twins. Hinoa if I remember correctly..Zhe queen ended up possessing zhe ozher twin, Minoto. “ 

“ Quick story short, Ibushi showed up amongst another Rampage, and we took em out zhere from wizhin zhe Stronghold. “ Despite such a victory proclaimed, that blank expression on her face never changed, “ Zhat was when we realized..his queen, Zhunder Serpent Narwa was zhe main perpetrator of zhe Rampage. She and Ibushi planned t’release zheir offsprings to zhe world, wizhin Kamura, outside Kamura, everywhere. Wizh how much zhey planned, there may had been a chance zhe Research Commission may be assumed witnessing such a tragedy. “ 

A heavy exhale, thinking about her encounter with both Elder Dragons back at the Coral Palace. The more she remembered, the more her brows furrowed. 

“ My buddies and I took it upon ourselves t’head t’zhe Coral Palace and finish zhem off as soon as my Guild Master Hojo notified me of zheir whereabouts. Ibushi was zhe only one I saw unzil he fell underneath the Coral’s Surface. Narwa was zhere, waiting for him. As if she was waiting zhis entire time for bozh of uz t’show up. I am unsure if zhat was betrayal. But as zoon as I was prepared t’finish Ibushi off..Narwa did it for me.. As a hunter who was supposed t'do zhe killing of Ibushi himself, myself..It twas...cruel...“ 

She gripped the hand on the table beside her, tightly. Something about that event nearly traumatized her.

" She used his power to enhance, her powers. Her abilities. She got stronger, and she was nigh unstoppable... " A heavy sigh, " ..Until Magnamalo showed up once again.." She quickly sits up in her seat, as if some adrenaline entered her body. " And yet instead of attacking me for merely existing, it saved me. It helped me- it let me Wyvern Ride it! "

It was not surprising for tales of the Research Commission and the Elder Crossing to be unfamiliar to people of the Old World. Even after all of this time, the Guild was a clutch of fractured panes of glass arranged into a mosaic, held mostly together by word of mouth and distant guild influences occasionally sweeping through the regions of the world. But that was changing, or so Novus believed. Perhaps in another ten or twenty years, the flow of information would improve. But for now, the lack of information at the very least ensured one thing; that there was ample reason for people to encircle a campfire and listen to stories recited.

The softness spreading across Roxanne’s face revealed much about the struggles of the village and the weight she herself carried. Thinking about the generations of newborns inheriting the calamity put some of it into perspective for him. Once she had acknowledged her privilege to tell the story of Kamura ( awarded to her in tandem with a symbolic gift from the village elder apparently ), he noticed something in the language of her body. She turned to him, a sign of her inclination or perhaps even of her necessity to tell the story to someone else.

In response, Novus nodded firmly and angled a glance towards Yomogi, holding up his palm to signal pause. “I will take the remainder of my order to go, please. I must listen to Miss Roxy’s story and I fear the dango will be too delicious for me to focus properly.”

Once the chef had acknowledged his request ( but not without showing some interest in listening to Roxanne’s story herself! ), Novus returned the gesture of affixing his focus on one singular point, that of the person he was speaking with. He turned in his seat, rested one elbow on the table and placed his other hand on his knee. In doing so, he appeared to settle into pure serenity.

“Time isn’t of particular concern to me. It passes quickly when the mind is engaged, after all. As long as I do not distract you from any of your responsibilities, I would be willing to listen here beyond the sunset later today or the sunrise the next morning if you are.”

Time...there were moments where one almost ran out of time to stop something, to save something. Roxanne lightly grimaced at such a fact, only to hide a fearful encounter where time was of the essence. Those very feelings of near death and full triumph caused the hunter’s shoulders to sag, almost filled with relief. A blink, then another, before she briefly turned to Yomogi as Novus ordered his large quantity of Dango to go. 

Of course there was nothing wrong with eavesdropping to your own story. If it wasn’t for Yomogi’s Dango, if it wasn’t for Iori’s amazing training for her buddies. Even with Elder Fugen’s flame, and the hope that flowed through the village from the blacksmith to the twins, she would not be sitting here right now. The Guild may have to deal with the largest threat to the world themselves ( if truly need be - if they could stop such a feat ). The thoughts of failure were shaken out of her, at Novus’ acceptance and preparation to listen to such a story. 

“ If I go’a be hones’...I am no’ sure where t’start ozher zhan my firs’ telling' of zhe Rampage zhat lasted one hundred years in zhe village. “ A glance towards the side, the general direction of the Red Stronghold. “ Zhe Rampage was known as, well.. A rampage. Our Stronghold was filled to zhe near brim with angry monsters who stopped at nozhing to get zheir way. Kill of zhe hunters, break zhrough zhe gates, rampage zhrough zhe village. Everyone lend a helping hand but zhere was a particular beast zhat appears among zhe Rampage.. “

A chilling memory. Her hands unconsciously gripped her abdomen, where she remembered being stabbed by such a beast’s tail.

“ ..Magnamalo. After zhe first Rampage I participated in, we was attacked by zhe Wyvern. Back zhen I didn’ know bettah.. An Azuros was spotted as a victim right in fron’ of zhe zhree of us. It twas obvious, and zold from zhe Elder zhat Magnamalo appears during zhe Rampage, feeding on zhe monsters for its own malice.. And caused casualties of both monsters and man… “ She gripped her hand over the abdomen, “ Bu’ soon enough, when it appeared again, it was led off zhe Rampage by zhe ozhers of zhe village, and I went by myself t’take it on myself. “ A short laugh, nearly tiring, “ I’was tough. Not gonna lie..At zhat time Magnamalo wasn’ zuch a pushover of a monster to newly experienced hunters. It wasn’ enough t’stop me. And I took it out. “

Her eyes narrowed as she stares towards the ground, remembering time after time after that. A target for Magnamalo to take out, she was. 

“ But...he keeps appearing, every now and zhen when I participate in more Rampages. It just refused t’die no matter what. Like an actual malice spirit or somezhing.. Soon enough I was no longer zhat weak against it. Easily handled compared to what I faced next. “

The hunter’s heavily accented voice was as unfamiliar to him as Yomogi’s bunny dango but just as vigorous. The melody of her dialogue was brisk and energetic. Fitting of a hunter, of course, and far to the opposite spectrum of his own mellow energy flows but nevertheless evocative. It brought a pleasant smile to his lips when he recognized that the voice was addressing him and his eyes were filled with a gleam of their own.

“Hello there,” he responded instinctively before realizing abruptly that he was having at least a little bit of trouble understanding her words. Somehow he managed and nodded to affirm her claims ( he is eager to build a good rapport with the locals and if it is through food it is even better ) before inviting her to share a meal next to him with asking hand. Ah, a hunter he thought to himself as his eyes flickered to the massive hunting implement on her back. Already, visiting the tea shop was turning out productive. A hunter familiar with the region was appropriate in the context of why he was here.

“I am Novus. I represent the Research Commission, a subsidiary of the Hunter’s Guild that was dispatched across the sea to the New World. These lands are unfamiliar to me but I have heard that quite a story unfolded here in recent months.”

Novus was a hunter as well but it wasn’t a weapon that gave it away ( he is actually not carrying one on his person currently ) but the scars. A claw gash marked his right temple where the reconstructed flesh had formed lighter than the flesh surrounding it. Another one cut across the bridge of his nose and his sinewy arms and hands spoke of the tremendous weight he wielded during a hunt as well.

“I only know surface details, of course. Like sound, stories diminish as they echo further and further from their point of origin … but I know that it was a desperate danger that must linger in the hearts of the people. So I will not ask you to speak of it if you would prefer it to become a distant memory. But if you would recite the mysteries of these lands instead, I would be happy to treat you to several meals. And if recitals are not your thing, then perhaps showing me would be a suitable alternative?”

The expression on the hunter’s face softened. Softened much in the realization of the empathy this researcher(?) shares among his first steps into the community. It was true, the lands of Kamura has been through one hundred years of torturous rampages. At least, until Roxanne became a hunter for this particular village.

Before she was able to rise in the ranks swiftly. Before she saved Kamura. The casualties of the past were no longer in vain. 

She realized her pink hues had darted to the side in thought, before blinking, focusing back on who possibly could be a new friend. That asking hand, an invite to have some of Yomogi’s Dango, a proposed meal for Kamura Hunters. She takes the opportunity to continue such a welcome towards a welcoming individual by sitting alongside him, calling for the usual(Dango Booster, Dango Slugger, Dango Defender), what she proclaims to be the “ Aggro Dango “ Usual, letting Yomogi serve another happy customer. After she made such an order, the hunter turned back to Novus.

A glance at the scars as he spoke about this Commission of his. Claws after claws must have nagged at him much deeper than any scar Roxanne has faced in her previous times. Wherever Novus had originated, must had been much cruel in terms of healing.

She wondered..where exactly he came from. She shook her head, putting her own curiosity to the side of the brain for later.

“ Are ya now? I’ll admi’ I neva heard of someone from zhe Research Commission before! Let alone any other duties wizhin zhe Guild. “ A hand on her own chest, covering a sort of main jewel on the chest piece she wore, “ Eizher, way tis a pleasure to meet you, Novus. Zhe names Roxanne Annetraude, a Hunter for Kamura. Bu’ Roxanne or Roxy is fine for quick callin’. “

Calling herself the Hero of Kamura would be an understatement, yet also an overstatement, according to Roxy. The hunter merely did her job, and such a job led her through the journey of becoming such a hero. Defeating such threats out of pure volition was not her forte. Although..speaking of such threats. . .

“ Zhe tale of Kamura Village, along wizh zhe weigh’ of zhe safety for Kamura has been passed down from generation to generation. A’ least, as much as I can assume! Been given zhe elder’s weapon means I ge’ t’tell ya zhe story wizh a much lighter heart zhan anticipated. Which...makes me kinda glad I sat down t’talk to ya about zhis. “

She shuffled in her seat, to face him more properly.

“ Tis abit of a long story..not gonna lie. If ya have time to listen t’zhe story of zhe village’s struggles and triumphs, I’d be happy to give it t’ya.. free of charge! “

I didn't get to make this post before I left but there is a chance I will be SEMI-ACTIVE until Saturday, November 27th due to me heading out to my relatives across the country for a Family Reunion Event. I have been keeping up the queue so I won't be TOO quiet while I'm out, yknow?

I did bring my laptop with me to do some writing in and out of activities but I will be dedicating to spend as much time with dad's side of the family as possible since I haven't seen them in the longest while.

I hope everyone is doing well! And as soon as I get on the plane, I'll see you all later!

[kamuraheart]

It has occured to me that the links to roxanne's doc, ask box, and the others page were broken. I have taken the time to fix them, and now you may view all the pages without inconvenience! Sorry for that!

When in doubt, take a bite!

Novus didn’t particularly resonate with that part of his partner’s philosophical outlook on life yet here he was, reconciling the uncertainty of where to begin his journey in the Kamura region with an early meal at the Tea Shop. Since bunny dango was new to him, the young chef guided him through the process of putting together a desirable plate.

With each of his hands holding a single skewer ( dotted by three of Yomogi’s treats ) at either end, he took a pause when he noticed something in the periphery of his vision. The youthful girl was attempting to hide it but she was full of anticipation, stealing quick glances of him with the corner of her eyes as she worked her store, likely hoping to witness his reaction.

Fortunately for her, Novus was sold even before tasting his meal. Isobe Dango was perfectly what he was looking for. The texture of the cooked rice flour was not so dissimilar to grilled kulu and the soy sauce glaze gave it an appetizing g o l d e n   l u s t e r that spoke perhaps of s w e e t e r tones where flavor was concerned. Preferring his protein with a heavy helping of greens, the deep coloration of the seaweed lining these little rondures made his belly receptive to them even before partaking.

He bit into them calmly, taking several careful moments to experience the taste before his expression was lit with contentment. Upon finishing the first skewer, he turned his attention to the girl as he reached for the second one, “I will have ten more. Ten more orders. You may put more than three of them on each skewer if-”

Shrieks of disbelief interrupted the remainder of his statement as his mouth fell slightly agape in shock. 

It was over. Another successful hunt( or in this case, another successful expedition into the vast land of the Frost Islands ). The commotion within the Gathering Hub of Kamura Village consisted of her restocking items into her pouch, crafting items to place within her supply box, and checking in on the various activities through communicating with such a dynamic housekeeper she praised consistently. There was no need for equipping new armors, crafting new weapons or items, for she desired a small break from the hunts, due to the expedition that led to the presence and slaying of two elder dragons, and the capture of two considered “low ranked” threats. The diversity of life within the Frost Islands was a doozy to say such at least.

Once she pats the housekeeper with praises and admiration, the Hunter of Kamura makes her way down the stairs, and out of the Gathering Hub, most likely on her way to her room.

Yet something stops her. Not a sign, not an omen, but of the commotion near the Gathering Hub Entrance. A stranger sat nearby Yomogi, ( the Tea Shop Chef, waitress, all of the above really), taking delight in the Dango he had ordered. In fact..she merely caught quite an extensive order taking place one after the other. Such behavior was rare around here.. ( perhaps Minoa gained a Dango Consuming Partner ), nonetheless it makes her smile. The hunter makes her easy over, waving to Yomogi as she seems to take an order out of disbelief before standing by the stranger, leaning on the table with a smile on her face.

“ I can zake a guess n’ say you’re likin’ wha’ you’re zastin’? “

A tilt of her head, to analyze the stranger a bit more, letting the heavy weapon on her back slouch some to the accordant side, quite a large sword, a Great Sword. 

“ Ya seem t’be new aroun’ here if ya ordering nearly as much of Dango as zhe Quest Maiden of zhe Steelworks. As long as you here, ya happy t’get as much as you wan’ yknow. Considerin’ you have zhe patience t’be quite zhe compe’ition for Yomogi’s favori’e customer. “

--> @corpseblade​ has joined the quest <--

“ Oi, are you alrigh’? “

The hunter in question patted the rescued stranger down, hoping to relieve any aches she may have received. Such a quest being posted by another who sighted this individual in the midst of the Shrine Ruins may consider her lucky. It was normal for civilians, or those who do not hold the status of Hunter, to be endangered outside of the safe confines of the village.

But..there was something different about this one, as she takes another glance up and down the stranger, looking for any injuries, as a rather large cart driven by bipedal cats carries a rather large, sleeping monster away from their area.

“ You sure don’ seem all zhat familia’ aroun’ here.. Bu’ don’ you worry, I’m here for ya! “
