Suggested Characteristics

Hunters are often considered a bit strange, and sometimes they might have problems connecting with people as they tend to focus so much on the aspects of their chosen prey. Or maybe you are very social, and get lonely during your hunting trips and get a bit too eager when you finally meet people and they percieve you as a bit too much.
