Some hunt because they feel it's their calling in life, but most do it, because they are fucking broke and need the money. As a millennial these days, working one day-job just doesn’t cut it!
During the day they pull their 10-16h shifts, during the nights they hunt! In the meantime they worry about where to get the next meal, calculate how much late fees they'll have to pay on their rent that has been due 2 weeks ago, and wonder if they have already cut the electricity.
​
If is healthy, debt-free and comfortably living a good life, they don’t hunt monsters during the night.
Hunters are usually somehow messed up in more than one way, and hunting can be part of trying to deal with that (on a financial, social or psychological level).
Of course, just because they are messed up, doesn’t mean their life is complete shit.
No, they do have things that keep them going, and a good portion of gallows humor doesn’t hurt either, when trying to deal with everyday existential dread and being confronted with the supernatural that lives alongside them.
Yes, there are some people who grew up being trained to be hunters, but those are rare these days, and they usually stay among themselves.
iHunters most likely had a run in with the supernatural at one point or another and once you've seen it,
you either try and deny the existence of monsters for the rest of your life... or you can't unsee it, and you start hunting them – especially when it helps you pay your rent and buy groceries.
Let's be honest, Knights are the ones that are doing the actual hunting and killing, right? No, for sure, Phooeys, Evileenas, 66s, they all help – but as a Knight it's your task is to finish the job. You do the running, the punching, the killing. Cause most things die if you just hit them quite hard enough.
Some knights focus on technique and finesse in how to use their body as a killing machine, others make use of the specific settings of the hunting environment, and yet others use their team as bait – but we all trust each other, right?
A Knight's body is shaped to fight, not to feel – if you are completely honest, you didn’t feel yourself in a while now, but that also means you don't feel much of the pain that is inflicted when confronting monsters.

I do it best?
vampKiller420
so. You could – potentially – try it from above. You know, next to the neck, just above
the collarbone. And just,
stab downwards.
rebelXkid
uhm... okay? Isn't that kind of
a long way down to the heart?
vampKiller420
I TOLD YOU ITS GONNA
BE TOUGH!
vampKiller420
Listen, putting a stake through a vamps heart is gonna be tough. Don't even try to get it through the ribs! It's gonna take too much time and you'll get yourself killed!
