onionfarb Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 It seems like sometimes they act as a mercenary group, but they also have interests of their own. What are their interests and goals as an organization? Quote I miss BIONICLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makuta Matata Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Basically, they want money, power, and they act like a presence in the universe.

The Legendary TNT Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 They are the beings who will do anything for the right price. And I think TSO keeps the money as insurance in case things go fantastically wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meta-Mind Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The Dark Hunters are concerned with profit, power, and influence. They don't need any real reason to be greedy; there are plenty of people in real life who are greedy without having another "goal." The Shadowed One's long-term goal, as far as I can tell, is simply this: amass power and keep it. Quote BZPRPG TIME, where you could have one post talk about dinner, and the next about lunch.

Voxumo Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 well if i remember at one time they were also concerned with tactical locations such as when they tried to get a base in metru-nui. i definitely think that with spherus magna since they no longer have to worry about the brotherhood i feel they will become a major power player. my real question is i think that the dark hunters will start recruiting skrall since there are so many of them and the skrall could be an indispensible force Quote Banner made by Onaku BZPRPG CHARACTERS Syvra-Tivanu If you interact with one of my characters and I don't respond or acknowledge the interaction within a day, send me a PM.

Takatu Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I've always seen them as a combination of the mob and the world's biggest group of mercenaries, who occasionally also have a militaristic flair when it suits them. I thought it's always been pretty clear that The Shadowed One, like Makuta, had dreams of bigger things, even if the majority of the other Dark Hunters don't, but never had the exact vision or opportunity that drove Makuta to victory.

darkslizer Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I think it was mostly a mob thing, attacking whatever they want for personal gain. As for the really greedy members, however, I'm not really sure. All the treasure found goes towards the Shadowed One, offering no monetary gain for anyone else. Quote Comply. Create. Consume.

Chro Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 All the treasure found goes towards the Shadowed One, offering no monetary gain for anyone else. I think I read somewhere that although TSO punishes them for not giving him the expected loot, he does allow a little slip through just so that they stay loyal. Or maybe I was just imagining things. He probably pays them. Quote save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iron Toa Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Yeah, the Shadowed One probably gets the special stuff he's after, but he must arrange for each Dark Hunter to get payment somehow. That's kind of the whole point of the organization.

Baron Von Nebula Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I think in the Dark Hunters book, it was mentioned for Savage that "his pay would be docked for the damage he caused to his cell", so presumably Dark Hunters are paid. It would make sense that senior and especially talented Hunters would be paid more than rookies.I think the Dark Hunters may have collected tribute from some areas as well as the money from completing missions for clients.And finally, defeating the Makuta seems to have been TSO's main goal since their war started.

Chro Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 And finally, defeating the Makuta seems to have been TSO's main goal since their war started.

The Iron Toa Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 They were allies for a long time, maybe most of their history, but Teridax's killing of Nidhiki and Krekka was seen by the Shadowed One as an unforgivable insult. I think relations were also strained three hundred years before that, when Teridax attempted to have the Dark Hunters he hired to guard the Mask of Light executed for their failure.

Master Inika Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Yeah, they generally just do whatever other people want them to for money. They don't often do things by their own accord, but they do force Matoran out of resources in exchange for "protection" and tried invading Metru Nui. The Shadowed One, in his insanity, seems more preoccupied with accumulating power and wealth than doing anything with it.As for their pay, Gatherer and Primal are known to collect trophies of conquest, plus the line about Savage's pay, so they probably get some sort of reward. I assume that, aside from whatever they were contracted to steal, a Dark Hunter is allowed to keep whatever he can get unless the Shadowed One sees it as claiming for himself.

His obsession with Metru Nui could be cited, since he didn't realize it would be in actuality quite difficult to win (sure, Metru Nui had no Toa before, but anyone could assume some Toa would volunteer when it was threatened).

fishers64 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 It wasn't like the Shadowed One knew that it would be difficult. After all, no one had tried to take over Metru Nui before. (At least, the way TSO tried it - it could be argued that the Barraki tried, but I think that was a bit more intimidation and negotiations than sending the Kanohi Dragon on a rampage.)

I'm not sure how many people work for the Shadowed One and how the Dark Hunters are structured, but I was under the impression there were lower-ranking mercenaries that weren't Dark Hunters in the same sense as the elite operatives we know of. After all, they have a fleet and that would take a lot of underlings to crew.

Wordmeister Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Yeah, they're basically money freaks. But what do they do with all of that money?

It can be assumed that the bulk of his command force is made up of experienced hunters. However, I think they want more than money now...

Master Inika Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Lariska, who was more than just a low-rank, was deployed to Metru Nui. Hakann arguable was, too.Plus, Lhikan was on the island before the war, so the Shadowed One knew what he was up against. I also got the idea that he was kind of paranoid when he killed Ancient.

Mersery Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 well according to the new greg f answers the shadowed one is planning on creating a new organisation on spherus magnaI suppose that isn't very surprising. Teridax and his army of Rahkshi minions really did hit down hard on the Dark Hunters during his reign, and getting flushed out of Odina would've had a very big impact on the organisation. If the Order fractured and spread out around that time, then I'd say it was likely the same happened to the DHs. Besides, I think a totally groundshaking event like the reformation of Spherus Magna and the merging of two totally different civilisations would be a good opportunity to start again from scratch, no?

25K Now! Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I suppose the Dark Hunters are an organisation focused on power, influence, and the motivating force of everyone - money. They were pretty much a strange combination between mercenaries and a group dedicated to making a massive mark on history.
