The Collins Family
The Collins Family is one of the most prominent hunter families in La Luna, California. No one can trace the origins of the Collins family, but they know one thing from their ancestry: They’ve been doing this for a long time. The Collins family doesn’t do it for the black market nor the glory. They do it for the safety and survival of humanity. Anything that is supernatural is considered dangerous and vile to its core. If anyone of the family partakes in black market trading, supernatural sympathizing, or hurting their fellow man - they are disowned from the family. If someone has the misfortune of becoming a supernatural themselves, they are fair game for the family to hunt and will be mourned as if they had already passed. Seniority and respect for the older hunters are taken very seriously. The older a hunter is, the more knowledge they hold. There’s usually a reason they’ve lived as long as they have. If a family member becomes too injured or (by some miracle) too old to hunt anymore, they help with some of the “behind the scenes” aspects of hunting including weapons, dispatches, research, etc. They are still treated with the same respect. Family hierarchy typically follows a patriarchal line. Structure, order, and rules are only a few of the mottos within the family. If there isn’t one person causing the shots, it could cause chaos in the ranks during a hunt. Children are taught about the supernatural and the basics on how to hunt until they’re old enough to go hunting on their own. The severity of the training depends on the parents, but most parents know that the earlier the training, the better chance of survival.
