Story
-------
Welcome to the land of Tarkand, home to some of the most majestic and fearsome creatures known to man, these creatures are called Skaningen. To keep these creatures at bay, the worlds governments created the Lancers. Hunters trained to fight these creatures. But there are some renegade Lancers who hunt for game, money, protection, food, supplies, and fame. As the times go by though techniques used to hunt Skaningen have changed, the sword and shield has been replaced with the gun and machine, a industrial revolution is to thank for this. Lancers now have an easier job hunting. But just because they have more convenient ways to hunt Skaningen doesn't mean it's an easy job, you need to be the best of the best to be a Lancer, because one miss step could mean death. Lancers utilize what is known as a Grappeler, but ever since the gun was introduced the Grappeler has not been needed to use that much, since Lancers no longer have to pull themselves up ontop of larger Skaningen to kill them. The year is now 1896 I.R, the Skaningen threat has gotten out of control, and the world government has begun to open up Lancer School's where people can learn to become Lancers. Now even the most inexperienced can learn to hunt.

(Do note that this is set in a old timey era. So horses are still used but cars and tanks are being introduced but they look like the old cars from the 30's)
