+DS+: Anatomy of a Hunter

I drew in layers for my Hunters piece here: [link] and gave the Hunters swords and jackets. More for my own reference than anything I thought was worth posting, but it occurred to me that some folks might like some details on how the Hunters work. They're not just humans who decided to pick up a sword and kill daemons one day, and they don't carry sword and wear jackets just cause it looks cool (although that's definitely the reason they were designed that way.)
Hunters have some pretty heavy gear in addition to a lot of magic, because without them the average daemon is capable of killing a human (or worse) without breaking a sweat. Even with all their gear, a Hunter is risking his neck big time. On the other hand, Hunters can out-muscle the average Olympic weightlifter, so it's not like they have to be afraid of any dark alleys. Especially if his pals know the instant he's in trouble.
