Monster Hunter Freedom and Freedom Unite 2: The Story of Ghost
 |
| A recreation of Ghost in his younger days |
Ghost,being the first hunter
of his family was sent to Kokoto Village. Ghost was bright-eyed and bushy tailed. He awaited the challenge of fighting monsters. Greeted on his first mission by
the notorious Rathalos, Ghost quickly learned to hold his own against the ravenous
beast of Kokoto. After gaining much experience and hunting with his new friends in
Kokoto village, Ghost was called to help another village, Pokke village.
Pokke village was a
small town located in the mountains. Ghost, now being over-confident and careless,
was taken out of commission on his way to Pokke village by the vicious Tigrex. This mountainous wyvern was like nothing he had ever fought before. Even after years of training in Kokoto village, Ghost realized that it meant
nothing; and, after his defeat to the Tigrex, he took to learning everything over again in order to better
himself. Growing stronger each fight, Ghost knew that he was getting better
with time, but was not letting the fame or wealth get to him. He bested the Tigrex, the beast that nearly took his life his first day in the village. He was even able to meet up with
past hunters from Kokoto. Ghost again propelled himself up the Hunter's Guild ranks.
Implored to fight some of the most menacing monster and elder dragons, Ghost
faced each task with courage and skill.

Unfortunately, he met
his match: The dreadful Fatalis. Described in the guild text as:
|
A legendary black dragon said
to have prowled these lands from the days of old. Many skilled hunters have
sought to challenge it, but none ever return. A monster shrouded in
mystery...

Monster Hunter Ultimate 3: Angel Rage
 |
| Angel Flaunting her Lucent Nargacuga Armor |
Known to most as just
"Angel", many did not know she was the daughter of Ghost. After
Becoming a hermit in Pokke mountains, Ghost soon thereafter had a daughter whom he
named Angel. (rage was added later because of her feral style when fighting).
She was trained from childhood by her father in the ways of hunting and
constantly reminded of his failure fighting the Fatalis. Wanting to avenge her
father she set off to Hunting school where she was shipped off to Moga. Having
proved herself a worthy hunter, Angel easily moved up the ranks of the Hunting
Guild, acquiring a clan of hunters of which she often hunted with: Faust the
Hammer, Gastly the elusive blader, and 1st Swami the swift long sword.
Together they were unstoppable. They fought and bested some of the best
monster: The Dire miralis, the dragon in the volcano; the Altreon, the Avatar
of dragons; The Jhen Mohran and Ceadus, the Dragons of Earth and Sea. Sadly,
none were of the Fatalis caliber.

| The Clan (minus 1st Swami as he was still in training at the time) |
One day, Angel did meet
her match: the Lucent Nargacuga. She's fought many Nargacugas in the past, but
none such as this. This beast could go completely invisible, eluding attack and
striking a swift as lightning. The fight lasted long, and it came down to one
decisive moment. Remember the words of her father, "don't be a failure
like me..." Angel was able to best the Lucent beast. Now flaunting the armor
of her fallen foe, she decided to it was time to settle down in Moga, knowing
that she would never be able to fight a Fatalis, or if it even still existed.
But, her time as a hunter had passed and she also was welcoming a brand new
baby girl, Persephone, into the world of Moga.
Monster Hunter 4:
Persephone
 |
| Welcome new Hunter! |
Persephone, the daughter of Anger Rage, did not
want to be a hunter. Her grandfather dying many moons ago when she was young,
told her many of his hunting stories, including is infamous bouts with the
"Fatalis." To Persephone, these were just tales. Her mother on the
other hand was very adamant about her becoming a hunter just like the rest of
the family had been. Angel would constantly take Persephone out to the woods to display her old hunting skills and would also show off her the battle worn armor of the Lucent Naracuga, often as a reminder of how great she was. "One day, you can also find a beast that you can
proudly say you slain with your own hands. Nothing more satisfying than knowing
that you are unstoppable."
Persephone had other ideas. She wanted to be a world class chef. At the age of 19, she enrolled in culinary school, but failed horribly. Not having a handle of flavors and spices, her Felyne Master Chef once told her , "Your cooking is so bad, it could take down a Fatalis." After hearing those remarks and remembering her grandfather's stories, she decided maybe being a hunter would not be so bad. Before enrolling in the hunter academy, she took a visit to her grandfather's grave. She made a vow that if she ever came face-to-face with this so-called "Fatalis", she would be sure to lay it's head next to his grave.

The Academy proved rough
for young Persephone at first, but now at the age of 20, she got her first assignment in
the port of Val Harbor. Upon arrival she was immediately put to the test as her
vessel was attacked by the mythical Moh'ran. Able to keep the behemoth dragon
at bay, Persephone knew that her Grandfather's words were now true, and she set
her eyes on finding the incarnation of evil that drove her Grandfather insane.
