Special Abilities
Spell-Like Ability (Sp)

Animal Companion (Ex)
At 1st level, a hunter forms a bond with an animal companion. A hunter may begin play with any of the animals available to a druid. This animal is a loyal companion that accompanies the hunter on her adventures. This ability functions like the druid animal companion ability (which is part of the nature bond class feature). The hunter’s effective druid level is equal to her hunter level. If a character receives an animal companion from more than one source, her effective druid levels stack for the purposes of determining the companion’s statistics and abilities. A hunter may teach her companion hunter’s tricks from the skirmisher ranger archetype instead of standard tricks. The animal companion can use skirmisher tricks when commanded, a number of times per day equal to half its Hit Dice plus its Wisdom modifier.
If a hunter releases her companion from service or her animal companion perishes, she may gain a new one by performing a ceremony requiring 24 uninterrupted hours of prayer in the environment where the new companion typically lives. While the hunter’s animal companion is dead, any animal she summons with a summon nature’s ally spell remains for 1 minute per level instead of 1 round per level. A hunter cannot have more than one summon nature’s ally spell active in this way at one time. If this ability is used again, any existing summon nature’s ally immediately ends.

Animal Focus (Su) 2 minutes/day Used:
At 1st level, a hunter can take on the aspect of an animal as a swift action. She must select one type of animal to emulate, gaining a bonus or special ability based on the type of animal emulated and her hunter level. The hunter can use this ability for a number of minutes per day equal to her level. This duration does not need to be consecutive, but must be spent in 1-minute increments. The hunter can emulate only one animal at a time.
The hunter can also apply one of these aspects to her animal companion. Unlike with the hunter herself, there is no duration on the animal aspect applied to her animal companion. An aspect applied in this way does not count against the hunter’s minutes of duration per day—it remains in effect until the hunter changes it. The companion’s aspect can be the same aspect the hunter has taken on or a different one. The hunter can select or change the animal foci on both herself and her animal companion as part of the same swift action.
If the hunter’s animal companion is dead, the hunter can apply her companion’s animal focus to herself instead of her animal companion. This is in addition to the normal one she can choose, and (as with a companion’s focus) remains in effect until the hunter changes it instead of counting against her minutes per day.

Ward Aspects
When a character in tune with nature comes upon an area that a kamicould ward but that is lacking a guardian, she has the option of making that area her ward in a symbiotic relationship. Whenever a character with the animal focus class feature is within 100 feet per class level of one of the wards listed below, she can use the associated ward aspect instead of one of the normal options for her animal focus class feature. Hunters can apply the benefits of a ward aspect to themselves, but not to their animal companions.
If a character with the animal focus class feature spends 30 minutes meditating while within 10 feet per class level of the ward, she attunes herself to that ward. A character attuned to a ward can use the associated ward aspect while within 1 mile per class level. A character can be attuned to only one ward at a time, but depending on her surroundings, she could choose from among multiple wards. A character with the second animal focus class feature can still only use one ward aspect at a time, no matter how many aspects she has available to her.
The following ward aspects are available to characters who meet the conditions described above.
• Road: The creature gains a +10-foot enhancement bonus to its base speed while running, charging, or withdrawing. This bonus increases to +20 feet at 8th level and +30 feet at 15th level. Source PPC:WO
• Shrine: The creature gains a +2 enhancement bonus to Wisdom. This bonus increases to +4 at 8th level and +6 at 15th level. Source PPC:WO

• Waymarker: The creature gains a +4 competence bonus on attack rolls with improvised weapons. This bonus increases to +6 at 8th level and +8 at 15th level. Source PPC:WO
• Well: The creature gains a +2 shield bonus to AC. This bonus increases to +4 at 8th level and +6 at 15th level. Source PPC:WO

Nature Training (Ex)
A hunter counts her total hunter level as both druid levels and ranger levels for the purpose of qualifying for feats, traits, and options that modify or improve an animal companion

Wild Empathy (Ex) +2 (+6 with Shadow)/ -2 with magical beast
A hunter can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions as a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person. The hunter rolls 1d20 and adds her hunter level and her Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.
To use wild empathy, the hunter and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.
The hunter can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but she takes a –4 penalty on the check

Track (Ex): +1
A ranger adds half her level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks.
Precise Companion (Ex)
At 2nd level, a hunter chooses either Precise Shot [b] or Outflank as a bonus feat. She does not need to meet the prerequisites for this feat. If she chooses Outflank, she automatically grants this feat to her animal companion as well.

Personality
Aiden is often quiet, and somewhat reserved, constantly observing his surroundings and those in it. Easygoing in nature, his calm relaxed demeanor tends to put those around him at ease, quietly dependable. Yes in times of danger, or when those he cares for are threatened, he can instantly become almost frighteningly intense, his hunter’s focus unerringly locking onto whatever threat or challenge stands in the way.

Background
I was born deep in the heart of the North Woods, an untamed area more known for its tribes of gnolls and other tribal cultures, along with fierce wild beasts, rather than populated villages. My parents met when my father, a mercenary soldier wounded in some battle he rarely ever talks about, and left for dead, ended up stumbling his way into the forest after staggering on wounded for days. Lucky for him, and for me I guess, he was found by one of the reclusive druids of the forest, before a predator came across him. That was my mother.
She took care of him, nursing him back to health, and as it turns out, he had no desire to go back to his old life. Somewhere along the way, they fell in love, and along came me.
I didn’t know that growing up in the wilderness was anything out of the ordinary, it was just, life. Learning the names of the plants and animals, what was poisonous, what was safe to eat, how to follow tracks or predict the weather, all of that was a natural part of my upbringing. But somewhere around when I was ten, my father convinced my mother that it would be good for me to spend some time around others. Learn to interact with children my age and be part of a community.
That’s how we ended up in Rosewood.

Description
Standing at 5’10, Aiden is relatively tall for a human, with a build of strong, lean muscle, and the physique of someone used to physical activity and hard work.

The animal defends you (or is ready to defend you if no threat is present), even without any command being given. Alternatively, you can command the animal to defend a specific other character.

Outlook/Philosophy

Drink water where your horse drinks, a horse will never drink bad water.

Make your bed where the cat sleeps peacefully.

Eat fruit touched by a worm.

Fearlessly collects mushrooms on which insects perch.

Plant a tree dug by the mole.

Dig a hole where the birds hide from the heat.

Sleep and wake up at the same time as the birds, you will reap the golden grains of life.

Eat more greens, you will have stronger legs and a resilient heart like the spirit of the forests.

Look at the sky more often and talk less so that silence can enter your heart, and your soul is calm and your life is peaceful.
