Author's Note and Story Summary

This is a story that's been knocking around in my head for a while now, and its gotten to the point where I have to write it down. Now, the premise may seem a bit ridiculous, but to me that's the nature of fanfiction in general. I have never before attempted something such as this, so any form of regular upload schedule should be regarded as more guidelines than actual rules. That said, I will attempt to regularly update at least once, if not twice a week.

The premise of this particular fanfiction is simple enough. Put the Bloodborne Hunter into Smash Brothers. I, however, will be taking many liberties with the subject matter. Bloodborne is far more strict with it's canon, but I've managed to find some breathing room, hopefully the die hard lore fans will find this acceptable (No doubt some points risk my inevitable lynching, but I digress). With Smash Brothers my only concern is to at least attempt some semblance of accurate characterization of all the fighters involved. The Hunter alone will be completely as I imagine, however, due to the blank slate nature of the character creation.

The first several chapters will be setup, I'm afraid. All taking place within the world of Bloodborne up until chapter three. Actual bouts won't start until after that, however, and even then the fights will not be my primary focus. I believe I can set up a compelling setting given what is present within the Smash Brothers 'universe', and I intend to take as much advantage of that as possible.

This particular story WILL be rated M. Unfortunately I cannot see myself being able to hold a T rating when Bloodborne itself is so brutal and violent. In order to portray all characters to their fullest extent I find it necessary to put it under this rating. However, I am neither and extremely violent or sensual writer, so while the occasional brutal fight or lemon may occur, do not expect such extremes to be frequent.

Hopefully those of you who read this are interested enough to continue, and I appreciate your patience with me. Thank you.

"Director, the investors have made their decision on the newest competitor."

"Let's see it."

"The Hunter, then. I see. Well, I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone like that got here."

"What are your instructions sir?"

"I want you to observe the Hunter and then report to me. I want your honest opinion on this one."

"Understood, Director."
