NOVELS & INDIE RPG HIT BY OLIVIA HILL
WHO ARE YOU PLAYING?
​​
In iHunt participants will step into the roles of everyday people turned monster hunters for hire due to differing circumstances using the #iHunt app to find profitable prey.
Think your local courier driver, a desperate author needing to supplement their royalty payments or a punk band musician turned supernatural snoop.
​
You will receive a character concept/skeleton, which means that we will provide you with some initial characterisation, a couple relations, your hunter type, hunting group, things your character would know and a couple other bits.
The character sheet (see example below) will cover a rough outline of what a character’s everyday normalcy and hunter life will look like. As always you can find more details in the Design Document!
CONTINUING A CHARACTER
& JOINING LATER
​
The LARP is very much written with the intent that you carry your character over into episodes 2 & 3 and play a full story over the episodes. And yes, someone can obviously join at a later point and get cast by us or create a character with our help. Or rejoin with a new character for different reasons!
We will try to run the campaign in a way that should be plenty of fun no matter when someone joins or if a participant only plays
with us for one episode, two or the whole deal.
​
CAN YOU CHANGE STUFF?
​
Yes! You are very much invited to give your character their own name, pick their gender, pronouns, age, add to the character sheet by building more relations with other participants or build on the ones already written by us.
We also give you a set of questions you can answer to fill out blank spots or add/change what is written, but always keep in mind that we as an Orga need to give a final go to bigger changes. On the character sheets will be a “Changes table” to fill out if you altered something so we can approve it (hopefully in a timely fashion).
​
The only things set in stone are the Online handle, the Hunter Type, Hunting Group and Day job.
To change these, a participant will have to get in contact with us, and we will see what we can do for you. If you want to remove or change a relation written into the character by us also get into contact with the corresponding participant so they know about the changes and you can calibrate.
*The charactersheet is still work in progress and might change slightly until casting
AESTHETICS
As described in other places, we will be playing in a modern urban fantasy setting. And as you slip into the roles of fairly normal people turned monster hunters their attire will reflect the reality of this strange split they have to balance their existence around.
Most hunters will wear everyday looking clothing that fits their style and lot in life, but is often marked by “practical choices” like easy to run in shoes, functional and flexible clothes or elements that can hide their identity in a pinch, like high collars, sunglasses, hoods or a scarf. Some wear more or less hidden armouring or opt for leather jackets and similarly sturdy pieces. Some may also have got creative and incorporated ways to hide weaponry or carry bags, utility belts or backpacks to have holy water, old tomes, a wrench or chalk for rituals on hand in a pinch.
For you that means that costuming for this game can come from your own closet, be thrifted, newly bought or made yourself. We would like to keep the pressure here low so that even if you are just starting out with LARPing or have a small budget, you can attend with what you can bring or go all out if that sounds fun to you! To give you a starting point, we made a Hunter type Pinterest board for a bit of a mood setter when it comes to Aesthetics, but this does not mean you have to follow any of it at all if you don’t think it would fit the vision of your character or what you have on hand.
