"Monster" is Subjective

Arrival

After what felt like an eternity on the airship, I finally made it. Ramsgate, the home of the slayers. A massive floating isle, held aloft by a strange energy source known as "Aether." It was beautiful. There was quite a bit of diversity among the people of Ramsgate. There were merchants, weapon and armor smiths, explorers, and of course; slayers.

I decided to walk around and try to get to know some of the people here. My exploring eventually lead me to a woman by the name of Katerin Sorrel, who quickly got me situated. She showed me around Ramsgate, introducing me to all of the people that I would come to know, and more importantly; depend on in my new life as a slayer.

Eventually I was given a set of recruit's armor and could choose a weapon:
An axe, Which was slow but extremely powerful.
A hammer, slightly faster than an axe, but could also fire shots of charged aether.
A war pike, not as powerful as the previous two, but extremely fast and sharp.
The Aether Strikers, which were a set of gauntlets used for powerful punches.
Chain blades, a pair of small axes that could be launched out and used like flails.
A sword, fast, not too heavy, and deals good damage.
And finally, the Ostian Repeaters. A pair of guns, dual wielded by slayers to deal damage, both up close and from a distance.

I knew what I was choosing. As I picked up the repeaters and examined them, Kat suggested that I travel to the training island to get some practice with them, before my first true hunt.
