"I roam these lands without purpose... that is what I believe so, for I am yet to prove my worth to my clan, and my species. My age of restriction for hunting has long been lifted, and I can see the gazes that my own kin give me... I fear they believe me incapable. A fear many tell me is foolish, though foolish or not, it is still living in my mind. I should have proven that my hunting ability is more than enough by now... though I do not blame such a complication on myself. I have long been anxiously waiting to find the perfect being... the perfect prey. I do not want my first to be a pitiful example to remember... no, this is what marks the beginning of my true existence.
It does not matter.
I have, as any aspiring hunter has, heard of the snakes. Their long, productive existence in history allows me to believe they are the most prominent hunt material. I have long dreamed to claim my first as one of their species, ever since my most tender of ages. Soon, I will grasp that chance... for tomorrow I leave this planet. I will travel alongside four others, who are much alike me... yet unproven. We will make our way through the vast Space, and reach the closest land where these snakes roam. Such a task will not be easily accomplished... though I do not dread for when the time for hunting comes. I anxiously await it. If death is to meet me in the failure of my duty, then so be it; for I do not wish to live any longer if I am to remain an unproductive, shameful member of my own species.
I have readied myself. Tomorrow, I depart. "

"Our journey ensues. Standing aside my hunting companions, I cannot keep myself from imagining how our test ahead will prove itself to be. I wish us all to triumph in the glory of victory, and emerge as the proud Hunters that I want ourselves to be. Though I believe my thoughts to be both realistic and pessimistic, and in this case, I do not know which type is currently occupying them. Nevertheless, I simply believe that the Black Warrior will take this opportunity to win five more of his battles. I merely hope that we manage to deny him of his wish... at least, for the time being.
I must strike such heavy thoughts from mind! We are to meet our destination very soon... and with it, there will be no time for such internal quarrels. We must do all that we are capable of... or perish in the attempt. "

"Finally, we arrive on the hunting grounds. This land is much different than our own... it seems severely rocky, and multiple caves are sighted from where we stand. A large, dense variety of trees is also present, though such are ones that we have never witnessed before. They are larger, as well as its branches, and its leaves are very... strange indeed. It also seems to be dawn.
Nevertheless, we begin our hunt, using our vastly prepared physical attributes to swiftly travel to the nearest of the witnessed caves. According to our elders, most of the serpents reside within these, much to the difficulty of our test. As we arrive at its entrance, we separate. The inside is far too vast, big, and filled with several possible ways; therefore, each of us will be free to hunt individually, unable to cross each other's paths. I wish good luck to my companions; may they emerge successful!
I make my way inside. I can almost hear my footsteps due to the vast silence and emptiness, something that does not please me the slightest. Even if I have not found any signs of prey yet, remaining unnoticed is a hunter's priority. Though my feelings of anxiousness do begin to increase as I continue on my way... as I believe myself ready for the conflict. Such feelings increase further and further as I continue to remain oblivious as to if any other lifeforms are present. Perhaps not all caves hide these creatures? I wonder if I should opt to turn around and...
What is this?! One of my companions is communicating... It seem he has encountered the serpents, though far too many for him to face! He claims they are appearing from every possible path, and that he requires dire assistance! The rest of the group is already attempting to find his location, and I have no other choice but to do the same. Although this is not what I have imagined, I will still proceed with my hunt.
But... what is this on my shoulder? A type of sticky liquid?
As I look up, I narrowly manage to avoid the leap of a creature from the ceiling. Of course... this is one of the serpents. How foolish of me! I have allowed myself to be caught off guard by what is supposed to be my prey! My fury runs rampant... though I shall use it to aid me in facing against this creature! With the blades on my wrists ready, I rush towards it. I attempt to slice at its head, though it is faster than I predict! It dodges the strike, and attempts to counter attack with a swing of its own! I avoid such blow, though I now realize that I have underestimated these ancient preys. I must give it the best fight I can, or risk perishing in the attempt!
As it attempts to swing its sharp tail at me, I dodge, and swiftly throw a counter attack towards it. It lands! The tail is cut off, the serpent shrieking seemingly in pain, as I feel slight joy in contrast. I do not stop there, however... I step forward, and swing my blades at its head. It manages to pierce it in perfection, and the creature is now dead.
I have done it. I have managed to hunt my first prey! Although not a perfect recreation, my long vision has been fulfilled, as I now stand victorious.
If I can manage to make my way back with my life, I can finally become a true Hunter of my species. The serpent's head shall come with me... for I do need a trophy. I take no longer than a few moments in doing this.
Now, I turn around, for I have to go assist the others, with haste! But, as I take the first step, I hear further communication. Ahyk'jhat-Byht, one of the Young Bloods that has traveled with me, brings terrible news. He is the last survivor of the attack of the creatures, and that even he himself has barely managed to escape from the caves alive. He warns me that I must do the same, and leave this place at once, or else meet certain doom at the hands of the serpents. He has managed to activate the self destruct systems of the fallen, so their bodies shall not be left behind.
Although I consider myself a hunter, and running away is not of my liking, I do believe myself not close enough of a match for the massive numbers of serpents reported. I turn around, and begin hurrying my way out. As I continue my run, I start to hear noises in the distance. It must be them! Although still distant, I will surely perish if I allow myself to be caught.
It appears that the Black Warrior will not win today, however, for I am approaching the light with swift speed. As I finally leave such cursed place, I leap at the trees, hastily traveling towards the location where transport will arrive for me. It does not take long for me to meet such destination... and I also find Ahyk'jhat-Byht there. I am happy that he has managed to succeed, much like me, though our worries are not yet over. As I turn around, I see the serpents... their numbers are big, as is their hostility while rushing towards us. There is still a good distance separating us from them, though they are shortening it fast. Our impending doom seems inevitable.
I look towards my companion, and we both agree that we shall not perish without struggling. While we alone will never survive against such a horde, we shall not die as cowards. I bring up my hands, contemplating the blades on my wrists momentarily. Their victory will not be without pain."
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"The odds stacked against me, though I have defeated them all, and emerged the true victor. I am now a proud Hunter. A proud member of my clan, and my species. No longer do I fear the gazes directed at me, for I know my worth. I shall forever remain as a respectful Yautja.
This is merely the beginning. I seek many more hunts, and stronger, worthier prey...
My gaze is set beyond the stars. I know I shall find what I am looking for in the future."

Ak'Kanan-Donh-Dai was born as a regular member of the Yautja species, in the Yautja Prime world. As most, he was very fascinated by the hunting culture of the Yautjas, and even when he was still considered young of age, already did he want to begin his journey at hunting, and prove his worth at it. This later led to him being slightly obsessed about it, and beginning to think that his peers could even be seeing him as a pointless, weak Yautja being, beneath all of them, simply because he had not caught his first prey yet. So as expected, he was very anxiously waiting for the elder members to set him on his first hunt.
Luckily, such a thing eventually happened, and he was informed that he was to head to one of the planets that the Xenomorph species inhabited soon, alongside a pack of five Young Bloods also seeking to prove themselves. He was informed about the Xenomorphs and their long, ancient relationship with the Yautjas, and as such he greatly cherished this opportunity. However, he also knew that this wasn't going to be an easy first hunt, as rumors claimed that this planet had bad history due to several accidents happening there between both species. Nevertheless, he'd rather prefer to die than to fail to become a successful Blooded Yautja.
The trip to the planet didn't take too long, though Ak'Kanan-Donh-Dai grew more anxious by the day. He wanted to finally experience the killing of his first prey, something that he had long dreamed about. At the same time, however, he knew that not everybody in his group was going to emerge alive, much less successful. He hoped he wouldn't count himself among those, and that they would suffer the least deaths possible.
Soon after, they arrived on the planet of destination. This planet seemed to be mostly rocky, with the only plant life present there being the unorthodox, strange trees, with the overall number scattered throughout that made it a dense amount. These trees were rather larger than normal, as well as its branches, with the leaves being of a dark purple color and in a much more different form than typical Earth trees. Other than the trees, however, were the caves, that were spread wide and throughout the entire planet. These caves were also giant in size, with the insides of such being big enough, and with different diverting paths that getting lost in one was a huge possibility. Finally, the planet seemed to be in a constant state of Dawn, with the sky always looking as if the sun was setting.
The group was quick to begin their journey, jumping from tree to tree in swift displays of physical capability, before coming across a huge cave. They agreed that this would most likely be a perfect hunting ground, and as such, separated and proceeded through different entrances, as to each of them be able to individually display their capabilities as Predators.
Ak'Kanan-Donh-Dai was arguably the luckiest of the bunch, as he entered through the relatively emptiest part of the cave, free of Xenomorph activity. One of his peers, however, was not so lucky, as he began accidentally getting closer and closer to the actual Hive, urging the creatures present to establish an ambush on him. While the unfortunate Yautja showed himself very capable of defending himself against the much larger numbers, he died almost instantly after calling for backup, though not without first slaying a few of the Xenomorphs; indeed, this Yautja was likely the strongest of the group.
Ak'Kanan-Donh-Dai, at this point, was to make his way to assist his comrade, though met a lone Alien on his way, which prompted him to engage in mortal combat, something that stalled him. In the meanwhile, the two remaining Young Bloods were making their way as well, though were also ambushed by a group of Xenomorphs. Only one managed to survive, named Ahyk'jhat-Byht, and knowing how the cave was hugely swarming with the Aliens, believed that now the best chance to survive was to escape.
He relayed this information to Ak'Kanan-Donh-Dai, who had now managed to succeed in killing the attacking Xenomorph, and taking its trophy. The latter Yautja, although disliking how he was being forced to run away from his "preys", believed that his peer was correct, and so began making his way out. Just in time as well, as a large number of the Aliens were now also making their way towards him, hastily and aggressively so.
Luckily, he managed to leave the cave in time, then jumping from tree to tree in order to make his way to the predetermined LZ for their elders's spaceship to arrive. There he found Ahyk'jhat-Byht, who managed to survive and make his way there as well. It simply seemed like they had to hold out until their transport arrived, though such task was made much more impossible when they saw a great number of Xenomorphs that were concentrating on their location. With just the two of them against a a greater group, they both believed themselves destined to certain death; though after a large, huge battle, they defied all odds, and managed to kill and survive long enough for their Mother Ship to arrive.
Now a proud Blooded member of the Yautja species, Ak'Kanan-Donh-Dai seeks to continue his life with several more hunts. He seeks to find much stronger, and worthier prey, and as such, he is bent on traveling the Universe if he must...

I have been a RPer for roughly 6-7; ever since I came upon this server, I have always wanted to use my RPing skills to both immerse the players around me and provide them with equal opportunities for doing so themselves. While I understand that this faction also has its action value, it seems to currently be the most influenced by RP, something that I specialize in. Therefore, I feel like I could be a worthy addition to the Predator whitelist.
My long and clean record as a player on this server also proves that, and that you will definitely have no problems with me if I do get whitelisted.
Do you understand that any player - donor or otherwise - can have their whitelist status revoked should they break our rules or disobey the Predator Code of Honor?
Yes I do.
Seriously though this was outstanding. I would not mind having you around with me when I am a predator.
