#inverseau

It took me a minute of talking with Blu/CapCrew to spitball and bounce ideas around, but at the very least this info got ironed out: I’m putting all the old vampires as modern humans who became hunters at the ages they appear to be. So Kat would’ve been 23 when she entered the trade; Rori would’ve been 20, etc. And the factions that exist in their canon, don’t in this AU. So there’s no Agency, no Coalition, and the ruling Vampire Clans are different.

Hunter!Kat is the leader of a hunter’s guild. A syndicate or lodge or LLC or the like in these modern days. Salizar is a highly-effective “Give me the next mission” sort of guy. Selina does some hunts but she does more recon missions; sometimes she accompanies newer hunters to show them the ropes. Aureline is still a doctor! And occasional dabbler in research and dev for their gear and such. And then there’s Rori, who is actually not polarized against Kat in this AU! In fact they’re guildmates and a well-coordinated team!

Regarding the hunters turned vampire, I haven’t put much thought towards them yet. lol Since for the supernatural earth story I’ve mentioned like maybe two human hunters and two halfbloods here.

I kinda forgot my werebeasts there at first! But they’re human too, naturally. So Alvaro (Chiro), Glenn (Ghost), and Esther (Strix), along with [insert human names of] Tundra and Kodiak and Bengali are here too. And they’re “That weird club of fantasy fanatics” to most humans, but their real deal is that they archive the information and records of monster hunter guilds like Hunter!Kat’s.

Naturally they’re human in this AU but they’re still ritzy sports hunters. And in this AU they *do* keep trophies from their hunts, proudly displayed in their lodge. It’s grisly. And Hunter!Kat’s company does not approve. 

“Those were people.”  “Keyword, darling, being ‘were’.” “...You’re disgusting. You’re not hunters. You’re just a club of serial killers, dancing on the fringe of illegality by turning your sick practices onto 'monsters’. Monsters who used to be humans!” “So I take it you decline our invitation to join our lodge?”

That’s so freaking neat!!! Their would their appearance change too? I’m curious to see the new group of hunters hang out haha

What do you think their jobs would be with this alternate AU? Like the specifics of it

I’d have to think on it more but the lineup is currently something like this:

Katarina: Senior hunter and company leader. Makes out the paperwork and negotiates contracts. Salizar: Senior hunter and strategy/mission planner. Does a lot of solo hunts but also makes sure younger members don’t get killed doing something stupid. Selina: Recon/junior hunter. Experienced enough to lead duo/group hunts and teach newbies. Aureline: Company doctor who also likes to tinker with gear and equipment. Rori: Junior hunter and recruiter. The one with a friendly face for apprentices-to-be to talk to.
