Experienced Protagonist: Difference between revisions

* While the main protagonist of the ''[[Monster Hunter International]]'' series starts off new to the monster hunting thing, even if he's ''very'' good with guns and brawling, ''Alpha'' and ''Nemesis'' shift the prospective to his {{spoiler|king of the werewolves}} boss and the government's top anti-monster agent {{spoiler|who was also the inspiration for Frankenstein's Monster}}. As the two {{spoiler|have been killing monsters for over a century and three respectively}}, they naturally qualify.

** The ''Monster Hunter Memoirs'' spinoff stars Oliver Chadwick Gardenier who is both a marine's marine, proficient with every small arm in service, [[Cunning Linguist|divinely blessed by God himself with an ability to naturally pick up even the most complicated languages]], saved from death by an explicit miracle, and trained in a variety of useful talents ''before'' becoming a monster hunter and then breezed by his earliest assignments prior to the assignment the book is mostly about. The opening of each book and ending to the series state [[Unreliable Narrator|the viewpoint character whose memoirs you're reading was fond of tooting his own horn and was absolutely exaggerating his own ability, even if the core of the events is true]], but it's clear Chad had ''some'' experience before the events in Seattle.

* At the start of ''[[Saga of the Forgotten Warrior]]'', Ashok Vadal is not only one of Lok's Protector of the Law, making him a ''[[Judge Dredd]]''-esque uncaring enforcer of the Law and a [[One Man Army]], he's considered one of its best and credited with having revived the order that was sliding into extinction though how much of a paragon of it he is. How does this protagonist get challenged? By {{spoiler|a complicated series of conspiracies that both render him Lok's most wanted and cause him to question if he should even be allowed to live, as he is a criminal through no fault of his own}}.
