Idk… personally I’d just drive faster.

Hey, I had a question: What do you think is up with the Hunter? What IS the Hunter? What's his deal? Dude seems like the most mysterious character in the whole game aside from, like, Hegemol or Dryya. We know some little details, but nothing solid. Also, what is the Mark of the Hunter supposed to be? Is it just a random object or something deeper? I've got no thoughts on this at the moment and just wanted your thoughts.

The Hunter is one of those characters that is a bit difficult to theorize about because he was very clearly created as a way to incorporate a bestiary into the game,

And so for the sake of the gameplay, he has so much information and experience that from an in-universe perspective can come off as convenient and almost implausible in some cases,

But still it's fun to come up with in-universe possibilities!

Even when it doesn't seem as though there is much intention behind the character outside of what he adds to the journal aspect of the gameplay.

Here's a potential theory my sisters and I have incorporated into our series~

The Hunter is a descendant of the void worshippers from the ancient civilization.

He is much larger than any mortal bug that we see in the game, which is one aspect the ancient beings of Hallownest seemed to possess. They were giants.

His dark and imposing figure also resembles the glimpses we get of what remains of those beings.

Our idea is that his direct ancestors were banished from the main civilization before its destruction,

And he was born either somewhere in the uninhabited outskirts of Hallownest, or in the wasteland just outside its borders, where they had fled to centuries ago.

He has no knowledge of these ancestors himself.

He is loyal to no king or ruler, he has no tribe, follows no creed.

We know that he had a family, siblings, but they are no longer with him. And we know that they were Hunters too.

The next part of our theory does center around the Hunter's mark!

So here is a quote by the Hunter about the mark-

"You bear the mark now, but that's only the beginning. That mark will become a part of you, will engrave itself deep within, and that yearning to hunt... It will never leave"

So our idea is that this mark was originally a spell, created by his void-age ancestors, that when engraved into one, causes them to obtain an unsatisfiable desire to kill.

Creating the spell is what had his ancestors driven from civilization,

It was probably lost or hidden at some point

But it was discovered agian by the Hunter's more recent lineage, who gave it a new title and passed it onto their children.

The Hunter has been affected by the magic properties of the mark all his life,

And as it has become a symbol of his small caste, which, because he has no children of his own, he adopts the knight into,

He passes it down to the knight as a way to honor it.

This could lead to an interesting post-canon storyline in which the spell begins taking effect, and little Ghost becomes a danger to the (no longer infected) people of Hallownest as a result. And then its siblings and friends have to uncover and remove the mark from Ghost in order to break the spell blablabla (this is the plot to an episode in our New Hallownest series XD)

Hello! I have a Death Note request, if it isn't too much trouble? I was wondering about the Wammy Boys (L/Near/Mello/Matt) reacting to finding out that Kira killed their S/O? Thank you for doing this if you can, I hope you have a great day!!! <3

It’s not too much trouble at all! Ahh you’re welcome, and thank you! I hope you have a great day too :)

L: Unless you really know L, you wouldn’t think that he reacted to the news of his s/o’s death at all. To those who do know him, however, he’s completely heartbroken. He’d completely retreat into himself and wouldn’t talk to anyone for several hours, his face unreadable but his onyx eyes swimming in sadness. He’d swear to bring Kira to justice and would work harder than ever before. L’d never really move on from his s/o’s death.

Near: Near is rather co-dependent so when he hears of his s/o’s death he probably wouldn’t know how to react at first, feeling too many things for him to be able to identify a set emotion. He would become more determined than ever to catch Kira and would push himself to the  absolute limits, and might use even more underhanded methods to catch his s/o’s killer.

Mello: Oh, he’s pissed. Before, he was determined to catch Kira because he wanted to bypass Near, but now? Oh, now it’s personal. He is so fucking angry and he will catch Kira, bringing his s/o’s killer to justice.

Matt: He’d be so so saddened and would definitely retreat into himself and his games even more. If he’s not gaming, he’s working. Sometimes, he goes days without adequate food or sleep because he’s working so hard trying to catch Kira, doing what he can with what he has to catch his s/o’s killer. He just wants justice for his s/o, that’s all that matters.

Agh, I agree with your bio so much. Maybe I should have taken the "drama" part in "K-Drama" more seriously, but I was really not prepared. Too many unexpected arrows and poisoned swords and heartbreaking letters and heirs to the throne of Silla - I might collapse before I can finish the series

i feel like hwarang is becoming the pg sappy version of game of thrones with more feels and only a minimal amount of gore. 

is it bad that from the beginning i expected ah ro to be shot by an arrow since ah ro and arrow sounds alike?
