MonHun FURY! @monhunfury - Tumblr Blog

(Still Alive)

Oof, I'm so heckin sorry.

Uh long story short, I've been doing a bunch of different things when I'm not at odds with my body, one of which has been learning Ren'Py and working on a TwistedFates thing.

But I have NOT forgotten about this! I swear. I actually went and redesigned the blog a bit. So it looks more....MonHun-core. Ish. Or something.

ANYWAY I linked to this bad boy on Bluesky so I figured I'd also give it a facelift a little bit. I didn't make the theme itslef though, just did a little reskin so it lines up more with what I'mmm doin' here. Hopefully more doodles and story...lore things will come with the facelift! But I'm...I'm doing a lot of stuff and also sick and also going in for surgery, so... T-T send me your energy.

Rise of Raiden (aka a Kirin is pissed that a Rajang disgraced her brother or father and put him in a coma)

So, watching RageGamingVideo's newest Monster Hunter World rewatch has sparked a tiny thing in me--the idea of revisiting Lady Raiden's story.

When she was a young woman training under her brother/father to become [insert title for a god of thunder here orrr something], a Rajang (name unknown) attacked her brother (or her father), stealing his thunder (O`_O) and leaving him in a coma. This was undoubtedly an act of sacrifice on her brother/father's part, as the Rajang was more than likely targeting her.

On that note, maybe there had been rumors of young Kirin-born being slain, no doubt being the workings of that Rajang--a serial killer. But with Raiden's older brother's/father's interference, the last of the killer's victims wasn't a young, inexperienced Kirin learning to harness their powers, but a proud warrior who dedicated his strength and his life to protecting her.

And she was probably done with simply being protected.

Raiden swore an oath of vengeance, taking up the name "Raiden" (as that was probably not her original name) and chasing that killer to the ends of the world to end his life and ensure he couldn't claim another innocent's life and power.

She'd defeat the killer, have introspection and connect with her comatose brother/father, learn that the emptiness she still feels is because while she gained control over her powers over lightning, she'd used it for the wrong reason, and re-emerge to go on a pilgrimage and find herself.

A trek up the coral mountains (ooor something?) would reveal her true power and her true desires: Raiden wanted to protect the innocent and arm them to defend themselves. She'd go on to start the School of Thunder, the school that Jin (Zinogre)--and his parents had--attended.

On that note, a couple more things probably came from this:

A raging, pissed Astalos who probably witnessed the assault as a child... (so maybe he's more lashing out in fear, obvious ptsd)

and her comatose brother/dad becoming an Oroshi Kirin and unlocking the powers of ice.

And additionally, that moment she claimed the killer's life could have been due to her too becoming an Oroshi Kirin to counter his lightning and literally killing him in cold blood.
