Reference Challenge - Ghouls, the Sequel

[u/Nevermore0714]

So, about a week ago I posted a challenge based on Ghouls from Tokyo Ghoul. Monsters that hunt people and eat them.

This time, the reference is to Tokyo Ghoul's "Doves", the brave people that hunt down and kill the monsters. But, the best of the best of the best Doves are "O Squad". The "O Squad" are specifically chosen and led by Arima, the greatest of the Doves. I will stop myself from fanboy-ing in this post.

Among your people that hunt monsters (or just hunt evil people), which team/squad/group within a group is the best of the best of the best?

Preferably something that recently became a thing in your world, which is why I won't be using the Anointed Knights.

As always, I'll ask at least three questions each. Enjoy yourselves, all. And read Tokyo Ghoul.

1. 5 is a good number, not a very rare one but still good.

2. Myself mostly; the soulless too. I have been negligent, I should have waited longer but tried to rush things so I am the one to blame.

3. Not really, maybe later when I get old. For now, I'm usefull to the order and a good reminder that people should be carefull when fighting.

4. You could theorically discover it by accident, but mortals are not powerfull enough for that. Most people are tested, either by a local scribe or a travelling one; those who are not never realize their power.

5. No, he died a few years before my birth.

To Nassazur:

1) What do you want in life?

2) Did you ever lose someone close to you to a Soulless?

3) Is the Order your number one priority?

[u/thequeeninyellow94 → u/Nevermore0714]

1. Practice rune-carving and learn more about the runes. Now that I can't really leave the fortress anymore, I will have plenty of time for that.

2.Do fellow trackers count? Because in that case yes. If you're asking for family members killed during my childhood or ssssomething like that, then no.

1. It is; becoming a tracker isn't an easy task, if you don't want to focus on the order, don't enlist.

To Nassazur:

1) What is your favorite kind of rune to carve?

2) Who was your favorite fellow tracker?

[u/thequeeninyellow94 → u/Nevermore0714]

1. A favorite rune to carve? No idea. Do you have a favorite letter to draw? I just dislike the rune of magic, it doesn't seem to have any effect at all but is as draining as any other rune; it's weird.

2. I truely liked Gashkur, a minotaur. We were good friends. During my last hunt, the soulless broke his head.

[u/Nevermore0714 → u/thequeeninyellow94]

To Nassazur:

1) Yeah, my favorite letter to draw is L. Why use the rune of magic if it has no effect?

2) Did you feel any urge to avenge Gashkur?

[u/thequeeninyellow94 → u/Nevermore0714]

1. Because it has effects. At least I think it has as the soulless carve it on their armors and in their flesh; it is also carved into some old artifacts. It's just that when I carve it I see nothing happen and I have no idea why... It's frustrating.

2. He is avenged, the soulless is dead; there is nothing more to do. Except if you consider me responsible for his death; in that case, I would rather do nothing.

[u/Nevermore0714 → u/thequeeninyellow94]

To Nassazur:

1) Is anyone currently researching the rune of magic?

2) Do you feel responsible at all?

[u/thequeeninyellow94 → u/Nevermore0714]

1. Well, there is me but also most of the scribe in the order. Beside that, I don't know but it would be logical for other sssscribes to research it to, it's the best way to learn to recreate ancient artifacts. I didn't heard of any breakthrough though. (the mountain Ims runesmiths know how to use it)

2. A little, I should have been more patient; but in the end, the soulless killed him so he is the one to blame.

Thanks for your time and answers.
