Hunter

The hunter is tasked with the tracking and neutralizing of supernatural threats against humans. Over the centuries, their exact roles and status within civilization have changed many times, but they always brought out strong emotions. Due to the nature of their work, most supernatural, mistrust hunters in general and will only interact with them if absolutely necessary. Many have a deep-seated hatred for them, as they lost loved ones or friends to hunters.
In general, the profession has an excellent image in the eye of the human public. This has helped the guild to maintain their operations and keep up recruitment.

Training

The path to becoming a hunter is long and difficult. A hunter has to go through four years of study and training at an accredited guild academy. Once a prospective hunter has graduated from the academy, they are officially initiated into the guild. This makes them a trainee under a master hunter. The duration as trainee differs between individual hunters, but usually takes two or three years.
Once the trainee program has been successfully completed, they become a hunter.
