“Riposte”
Bio
Nick Dunkan thought he had a pretty good life going for him. He had a decent job working for his father’s construction company, a great girlfriend, and a very good chance of making it onto the 2012 Olympic Fencing Team. That was until he lost his hand to something the government tells him doesn’t exist. And that he would cease to exist if he told anyone what really happened.
It all happened while Nick was exploring a newly opened tunnel. Rather than order one of his men down into the tunnel to take rock soundings Nick went himself. Looking back he would probably tell you that was his greatest mistake, and the beginning of his greatest adventure. Turning the corner of the tunnel he saw something coming towards him. He lifted his light to get a better look, and saw the yellowest eyes, reddest scales, biggest smile he could ever hope to avoid close over the flashlight, and his right hand.
He awoke in the hospital the next day with two feds sitting in the seat next time him. They informed him that he was bitten by an escaped iguana, and if he told anyone otherwise he would not live to tell anyone anything else. Shortly thereafter he met Earl, the head of Monster Hunter International. Earl informed Nick that monsters, all those scary stories, bumps in the night, boogymen in the closet, were real. He also told him that if he was up to the challenge, he could have the opportunity to give the beast a little payback.
So Nick signed up with MHI. That was 13 months ago. In that time Nick has learned a few things about that big red lizard. Turns out he is some sort of mutant, a trained fighter for some terrorist organization determined to conquer the world. The beast has been sent to fight in an underground tournament called Kumite. It turns out that his shot at the Olympics is gone, but those sword fighting skills are just the thing to earn him an invitation to the tournament. When Nick pointed out that he was right handed and was having a hard time holding a sword lately Earl told him to go visit Milo, MHI’s resident crackpot and weapons designer. Milo Introduced Nick to Quicksilver, it was love at first slice.
Entering the tournament under the name “Riposte” Nick is looking forward to getting a little payback, and to seeing if there are any other monsters hiding in the shadows of this Dojo. He will have the final strike.
