Okay so I wanna know your preds!!!!!

[P-willie2000]

This is my Alpha Bad Blood it’s changed a few times on the look and the build but I usually do pretty good with this

[BadBlood]

I just can’t with the alpha

After all the hype around how the toy would be in the game

They failed to deliver imo

It can be fixed though by adding the alpha spear and Shuriken @OldKingHamlet

And let the alpha carry the sickle, spear and shuriken

[DisturbedLlama]

Yeah make up for his no plasma by his solid arsenal

[P-willie2000]

I rock the alpha because you know LOL 😂 but I don’t usually play Predator

Magical girl predator

[KameofWar]

i had done this before in another thread this one

@KameofWar

Alright being as i have about 8 years of experiance doing this let’s give it a go i’ve done some reading while i was at work today i’ll reply to this post with a picture later for now lets do the writing part

i’ll be using these as my sources for any information or reasoning so long as nothing contradicts with each other i’ll probably use this as my prime source and these as supplemental

So let’s begin
for the sake of the exercise i’m going to only use one of the generic’s So Elder/hunter/scout and berzerker will be on the table i don’t feel like going f1or one of the toy/societal predators as honestly i dislike the concept cause no one could make me believe a viking predator would find difficulty killing an actual viking from earth

And conceptually after doing my reading as well as in game i find playing the berzerker is the most fun for what i perfer as i find the scout ranged focus’d style too boring and the hunter is just too generic it comes down to either elder or berzerker and i’m going with the big bois and gals

My Predator’s name is going to be
Akumi (Pronounced "Ah-Koo-Me) as it seems ending with an I tends to be regarded as a female name it fits the naming structure and in every SF game i usually main Akuma as i like his aesthetic and rushdown gameplay style (just a fun fact)

Akumi is large for her kin among the “Hish” being probably closer to Viking sized [Illfonic plz just let players have a custom class with a point buy system just have the body types be selectable I’m tired of Hunter dominated meta]
she has an overly large “Kill gland” which requires her to be sedated appropriately on The Prime world for the safety of others i imagine this probably happened after some young blood threw a pot at her during her early years and caused a rather bloody scuffle

Since Yautja society
seems to revolve around a Mating season i’d assume she is very much hunting exclusively to earn the favor of the Yautja gods she is incredibly reglious most of her kind would refer to her as a “fanatic” as she takes her religous followings very seriously she primarily worship Paya the Conquering Warrior and The Black Warrior
she takes is so seriously that she meticulously marks her armor and mask with runes and glyphs as to ward off evil spirits and according to her “channel Paya’s strength through her.” She also believes her overly large kill gland is a blessing she also believes in magic and other spiritual mumbo jumbo

She also tends to be disrespectful to male youngbloods for them being overly confident and unproven as well many of them will often pester her hopeing to earn her favor to mate with, or her just being so big and sedated. other males probably find her to be unusual as i assume females at some point probably give up hunting to sire children

as being male and female is really just a personality trait so much as a physical thing as it seems they can get the “equipment” they need as they uh need it she identifies as a female however so we’ll stop here with that no more questions just do some reading like i did ok

Equipment:
aside from standard hunting equipment if the elders allow it she would probably want to take a war maul hunting but if not she would take some bladed melee weapon of her choice (if she could carry a plasma scythe she would) she probably uses only one scimitar style claw but both of her hands have an advanced version of the power punch glove that on her not wrist claw hand she would have the feral steel shield, and she’d keep a bow, handy with blunt tipped arrows as to bludgeon prey, or a netgun the blunt arrows would also serve as a quick way to apply trauma to her kill gland which is somewhere around the collar bone she isn’t one for gear aside from audio decoys and med kits (as if i could i’d trade gear points for perk points any day)

She primarily hunts
Various big game and Xenos like all yautja very few times has she had the opportunity to deal with Bad bloods. Though some consider her hunting methods barbaric as her bio data suggest she over relies on her enlarged kill gland she claims it’s a gift from the Warrior god Paya so why not use it. Though her constant complaints about hunting ignorant game eventually got the powers that be to allow her hunting rights on Earth so she can try hunting “Intelligent” game though they know that it isn’t a great idea as she tends to ask too many questions as when she would hunt bad bloods she would try and ask them questions almost preaching to them and while it would at times thatcarry on to humans though with humans the questions are more generic as it’s only what her recorder can dish out things like “What’s your favorite plant?” Or “What do you do for Respect?” or probably my personal favorite “Who was this?” i’ll get more into this later down the way

The Fun stuff
I would assume if she were to die in a movie like situation if it was a predator movie it would be something like

If someone starts mimicking the predator’s clicking she would immediately try to communicate with them and reveal her self if they respond slowly and not aggressively she would try to talk with them primarily cause she wants to spread the religion of her god later a protagonist would probably use this as an ambush tactic or to try and convice her to a fight that would be more favorable (however he could not convince her to give up any equipment to him such as him getting a wrist gauntlet to fight her with one as she has 2 though she would take off her mask if asked to) to them if a large trap was used like in the first movie she would immediately try and use her gland for a berzerking Blaze of glory which after words she would just be winded and tire out if the humans survived that’d be that movie over (albeit as a side note i could also see a particularly silver tongue’d human could probably convince her that another human is better prey and she would simply forgo hunting whomever she was talking to if they could convince her to do so Though in an AvP situation she would have probably learned by then to say single syllable words speaking of which)

in a AVP movie a fellow Predator or Marine would probably just kill her after she uses her gland in the movie believing she is simply too dangerous to keep around either cause she would be too tired for too long if they survived it or that during she is simply too bloodlusted to be considered good for the mission

On the subject of Clans and families

So typically when i’m using other fiction for campaigns i don’t typically like making my own organizations unless there specifically antagonistic to the party as a thing to be removed so because of that i’d forgoe making my own clan and probably put her in one that exists already if I had to choose it would probably be the Dark Blade Clan cause i like their aesthetic or the Elite Clan 1 cause I have fond memories of AVP2010
But it’s not necessary for her story entirely to be in one clan or another so it could also be entirely generic And regardless of her family tree i would assume she has siblings but she is the only female among them And her Dad is probably an Elder

@KameofWar

Albeit if i could change color’s appropriately. instead of the off green/brown color her armor would be jet black, and if I had REAL control as i do like the color purple i’d use the glyphic design but all the glyphs would be purple, the armor would still be jet black, and she would be using the “Rise or Fury” Warpaints with them being purple as well, and would probably use the prophet’s mask as i like it’s design the most but i can’t alas so this so this will do for now also i only like this mask with this warpaint as it’s has unique highlights on this mask which is cool

[NomadClan]

Oni Drago / Dark Drago

He once lived as a Warrior of Honor and Loyalty, but the very Clan…the very planet he’s done everything for betrayed him. Living his life in Exile, Drago would barely escape the wrath of his own planet, crash landing on Japan for he would be named as a Oni from the very locals of ancient Japan. He would survive by any means necessary, but as more wrongly accused Bad Bloods filled up Earth to be hunted down by a now advanced Human Race…Drago would start his own clan of Exiles. Pandora was the sanctuary for any Yautja who was betrayed by a currupted government, with enough people on his side, Drago launched a attack on Homeworld that would shake the very honor system of Prime. He clawed, kicked, and bit his way to the top of the Prime and eventually surgically removing the cancer of those who poisoned his home.

After all that Drago and his Nomad Clan had achieved, it would seem that his people were none appreciated towards his actions. Drago would become the #1 Bad Blood that was hunted all the way till 2030. Just like Prime, Earth was invaded not for the animals they consider trophies, but the one who was called Drago the Insane. Pandora was invaded leaving no survivors, those who did told the tale of how their Leader was fought all who challenged him. However the very last moment Drago was seen being surrounded near a cliff and then was riddled with plasma shot off the cliff. With the Nomad Clan roaming the galaxy for a new home, back on Earth there was still a unknown presence that felt demonic.

A company of O.W.L.F would investigate the area, only for no one to return once entering the forest…something lurked in the Jungles of South America, and it was not man…not a Hunter…but something more…something worse then a human can ever encounter.

I like this one cause it looks psychotic.
But my current one Is just red with vex mask.

Your Predator Background

[image] Hult’ah Is my Favorite. But That’s also because he’s the only one I can use right now. Hult’ah, Or Lookout; called by his Unit. Is as his name is given. His Objective is to scope out their Hunting grounds for Food, Information, and Humans. His tasks range from food hunting to Testing the Wits of humans. And, often wont engage directly. But Set traps, and “toy” with the humans. Testing their intelligence and Loyalty to each other. In…

Making a Fallow Up to my post

Jadhi Zabin, which is Sister Insect.

She’s my favorite at the moment for being a ruthless Bad Blood.
This is the same Bad Blood my unit is here for.
(Aka Mud-Blood, Little-Shit, and LookOut)
Again I don’t have a name for my clan still.

Zabin was originally designed to be like a wasp.
Using the Combstick like a stinger.
But she’s going to be given an overhaul since her updated backstory.

Zabin’s Backstory

She is one of many daughters to my Clans Matriarch.
Which is her ->
Zabin’s a valiant hunter and very skilled.
Her attitudes cold and calculated.
She sets all aside to make sure her Clan continues it’s strong up rise.
This includes baring pups of only the most skilled Males in the clan.

Which is hard to judge.
There are many skilled males.
But she’s only seeking the best of their best.
Picky Bitch Basically.
But her own goal has been the bringing of her end.

At the same time of her upbringing.
Ni’thya Thwei (Mud-Blood) was also in his prime.
And eventually the skilled Male and Zabin would share an interest.
It was strictly for making the Clan stronger.

But before this Zabin would take to one of her missions.
The Clan had territory over a planet yet to be cleansed.
Claimed to be Drifting with no life.
It went horribly wrong.

Zabin was stranded on this planet.
Her team had been slaughtered.
She endured the horrors of this new “prey”.

Eventually Zabin was able to get off the planet.
But it wouldn’t be for some time.
And upon her return she was completely “deranged”.
Zabin would only explain her survival on the dead planet to the Matriarch.
Other than calling the so called prey “Essence”.

Either way.
Zabin expected Ni’thya Thwei to be ready for mating.
But even Ni’thya had changed over the years of her stranding.
The well seasoned Male turned her down.
Having chosen to claim a life Mate after so many years of already breeding for the clan.
And though it was seen as disrespect, he had earned enough in his ranking to do so.
The Punishment was more than a slap on the wrist for him.

But it absolutely pissed off Zabin.
Claiming she was in better strengths then ever, she cursed his name.
And, normally she would have let this go.
But after her stranding, and enduring that hell.
Zabin was hiding something, and it effected her attitude more then ever.

Even Ni’thya said she was sick after her return.
And she refused to see it.
Course he meant well by this.
Only encouraging the high ranking Female to see her flaw.
But still she refused.

Unfortunately for Zabin her moral goal for her clan was corrupted.
She claimed the sickness from the dead planet.
Where one night back on their home planet.
Zabin met with Ni’thya’s Life Mate.

Unfortunately word spread fast.

Zabin met Luar-ke Lit Dekna.
Luar-ke a completely Blinded Huntress.
Which is why she is called Moon lit eyes.
Though Zabin talked with an upbringing click in her tone.
Wanting to walk with the other Female.

Luar only smelt the sickness on Zabin before having her neck snapped.
Zabin gutted the Female.
Pulling from Luar her unborn pup.
Leaving the empty corpse for Ni’thya to find.

---

After this Zabin Disappeared.
Many have already pointed fingers.
Since she told a fellow Yautja clan mate she was going to see Luar.

It is presumed and rumored among the clan.
That the sick high huntress took the unborn pup.
Making it into a trophy for Ni’thya’s disrespect in turning her down.

She has a bounty on her head for any clan to claim.
And though Ni’thya wishes to seek her out.
He has been denied every time.
Up until now.
Where Zabin has been claimed to kill another fellow clan mate.
And stolen special tech.

He has been ordered to reclaim the tech.
And kill the High Huntress.
Along with her accomplice.

Jadhi Nracha-dte, Sister Relentless.
She has been helping Zabin in the Jungles.
She is a fast running Yautja.
Her habits of stalking law to the ground and sometimes on all fours.
Often being mistaken for a large wild cat among the humans.

Thanks to @BadBlood

• this is the other Bad Blood.
  (The one you mentioned the plasma pistol for)

---

Anyways that’s it, im done sharing. (If you even manage to make it through that)
Till next time.

[BadBlood]

Gotta love that pistol!

How did you come up with those names?

[Idunno56]

YOUR EFFORT IZ ALWAYS WAY TOO MUCH 😂😭 ITS GREAT!!! :b

[JelouGaming]

Been rocking this baby. Works really well most of the time.

[Idunno56]

How goods the sickle currently?

[Papa_Applepie]

It’s been perfect for her playstyle.
Especially since I wanted a ground based yautja.

---

And for the site I use: Yautja Language

And then some loose translations.
Like I have to work around some of it sadly.

But huh.
As far as name picking.
I’ve noticed Yautja seem to get their names via from defects, skill, and such. (Like pet nicknames)
I forgot who told me but yautja pups/suckling’s don’t get their names till they are blooded.
So they get this dirty nickname till then.
And sometimes it sticks even AFTER the blooded ritual.
(shrugs)
So I just sorta go off of this concept.
Okay are they gonna have a shit name their whole life.
Or earn a namet.

• Mud Blood (Ni’thya Thwei) got his name from his particular hunting tactic. Which wasn’t till even after his Blooded hunt. His fellow clan mate caught him fighting a his favorite prey in huge mud puddles. (Like pond size shit).
  Doing this so often.
  He always returns to the clan smelling like shit, covered in mud and the blood of his prey.
  Earning him this name.
  Which he liked and choose to call even himself.

I used him when PHG first came out.
(Always killed people while they were mudding up, Im terrible).
It sounded fitting at the time though.
His backstory just sorta made its own fate along the way though.

But that’s how I do all of them.
They have their own stories and defects.
(Wont go into detail cause I could write a novel, but I wont anymore.)

@Idunno56
Also thank you for tagging me too.

[KameofWar]

Sickle is argueably the best melee weapon in the game right now

[JelouGaming]

Yup. Fast and with 3 hits you down almost every FT

[KameofWar]

yeah it does like 156 damage i think with fearless+ zerker buff so if your running into any FT that aren’t running defensive perks they just drop like rocks fantastic for hit and runs

[Idunno56]

Ofc anytime lmao also dope how u made it all connected I remember u playing as mud blood 😂

[Papa_Applepie]

It’s been a long time since I played him now.
Afraid he’d be reset with all the loadout bugs.

Also its good to see yah back,
thought you dipped with some of the others.
