Welcome to the newest addition of my evergrowing attempt at oc infodumping and blog organization! anyway, heres the two main OCs of this blog:
Monster Hunter Stories 1 MC:
Suvaryn or Ryn, partners with Blaize(Ratha). yes i renamed the main monstie. it pisses me off that they gave both rathalos the same damn nickname and never let you rename it, even after the story ended. moving on.
Next up!
Monster Hunter Stories 2 MC:
Meleni Roudyr! (image is from right after fully bonding with Eiwyn(also Ratha)) They actually share a primary bond with three monsties: Eiwyn (razewing rathalos), Babydoll (shrouded nerscylla), and Nei (zinogre).
Lore:
Meleni does have traditional tattoos that combine the Mahana markings and the Samoan tattoos/body markings. still have to do more research for specifics
Meleni, like their grandfather Red and a select few of Mahana Village, has an extended life span thats tied to their monstie companions. Ryn, Cheval, and Avinia also have extended lifespans. Lilia does, in fact, also have an extended lifespan despite not being a Rider, due to her bond with Blaize/MHS1 Ratha.
Lilia's a unique case, and i thought it made sense to adapt her bond with Blaize to essentially being the same as a Rider Bond in my HC. Her Bond does vary a little bit, in that she only received minor cosmetic changes and the extended lifetime, such as slightly pointier ears, the bright red-orange hair streak, and light blue sclera with darker red pupils.
Cheval never really fully bonded with Blaize, but does end up with a similar scar on his eye, mirroring the Rathalos. The only remaing trace of his initial bond with it is that under certain lighting, his red hair looks almost the same color as Blaize's scales. Post-Story of MHS 1, Cheval starts to fully Bond with his Rathian, finally allowing him to be seen as a mature, well-balanced Rider among the inhabitants of Hakum Village.
The inhabitants of Rutoh village undergo a similar change to that of the Riders Bond due to the village maintaining a fairly sizable herd of Kelbi. While not everyone is born with Kelbi horns, they will begin to grow and gain a specific hue once they reach about three years of age, after meeting the herd and pairing up with a baby Kelbi. Ena and Alwin have spilt horn colors as they have Bonded with both a Monstie and a Kelbi. There are a select few whose horns have multiple hues as they have Grazed(paired) with several Kelbi and are expected to become the next caretaker of the herd after the current Taker becomes unable to.
older version of Meleni's appearance throughout the story.
their eyes start off a bright red, with Honeydew Melon green hair, several years before finding out their beloved granfather passed away, his Rathalos returning to its position as Island Guardian. Age 7-14
Meleni roughly about midway through the story, the growing Bond with Eiwyn and Babydoll are beginning to appear. Their hair is beginning to lighten, and the stress and anxiety over the weight of the responsibility for the potential chaos that would occur if Eiwyn really does have the Wings of Ruin makes them almost an entirely different person. Meleni avoids fighting alongside Eiwyn for a time, instead using a white Monoblos named Noble. Their sclera have a slight blue tint to them, and their right iris has already shifted to a bright green. Age 15-17
Meleni towards the end of the main story. They've fully accepted Eiwyn again, their body changing to match their Bond. Pale blue sclera, left iris a brighter blue with a red-ringed pupil, right iris a bright green with no pupil but a red reflection when light is shone in their eyes. the clarity of Meleni's vision hasnt changed, but what specifically they can sense has. Sharper teeth and even sharper instincts honed by their experiences no child should have gone through. has an unusually high pain tolerance and doesnt realise that healthy people dont visit the Hot Springs three times a week. Age 18-22
Older!Meleni, a few decades after the events of MHS 2. They live in Kuan alongside Ena and Alwin and their monsties, often traveling around the continent, helping with monster conservation and accidentally becoming a source of several new folk tales in the more rural regions
The many iterations of Meleni that i could make-Picrew edition; part 1(Post Story):
I personally hc that if a rider fully bonds with their monstie, they begin to take on characteristics of said monstie. meleni is the Samoan word for Melon, and is thusly based off of them. island starting point -> island people inspo
Baby and Darling are twins in the Modern!Human!AU, Meleni is a very small melon green mizutsune that the group found. Both Eiwyn and Baby are dating Nei, but while not dating each other, are in a QPR.
