The World

     This is a world built of numerous floating islands on an earth-like planet. It is lush and green, a beautiful sight to be held. There is no technology, many of the islands are inhabited by small villages of people. They are small communities who work together to survive. Some islands are connected by large bridges created by vines and ropes weaved from local plants.

     This world is peaceful when it is "day" which lasts about 200 earth days, but when night comes it lasts just as long, leaving the world dark. This is when the monsters rise from the "Under" This is the only time a hunter is required to work, it is the hunter's sole job to protect the village. 

    There are always five assigned hunters at a time, every year at the end of the night, one new villager is chosen, all children aged 16-18 gather for a trial, the first child to return with a Nogta (Large native bird) in hand, wins.  Being a Hunter is a glorified role as it means you are strong and brave. An added benefit is the free will to do anything they please (so long as to not go against law) during the Day. A hunter's only way of retiring is to finish 5 years in service, or death. Should the death of a hunter occur, a New Hunter is appointed immediately, the village elders recommend and vote on a replacement within twelve hours of the death.

Name: Ketskishta

Height: 6' 2" 

Skin: Tan 

Hair: BR

Eyes: GR

Build: Average 

Village Role: Hunter 

Ketskishta is rather introverted, he has been so since his brother died during a hunt several years ago. He is kind and quick to do anything asked of him. Before he was chosen as a Hunter his role was a fixer, he fixed huts and fences and other things here and there. He often would sneak out of the village to explore after finishing his tasks before the resting time. This will be ketskishta's first year as a hunter, though it's not exactly what he wanted, bu the Nogta chose him and so this is the role which he must take. Ketskishta is named after one of the five original warriors sent down from the moon god to protect the world.
