MythoCreatologist:
(MYTHO + CREATOLOGY + IST) n. one who is engaged in the study of MythoCreatology.

MythoCreatologists are exceptionally talented humans who have been trained at the College of MythoCreatology to study, protect and preserve Australia’s magical creatures (mythocreats).  Since the College opened, fewer than a hundred people have been selected to undergo this rigorous course.  The training is intense because Australia’s magical frontier can be an unforgiving and deadly place.  MythoCreatologists, like all humans, are forbidden the use of magic. They must also refrain from using modern gadgets because magical creatures are fearful of modern technology. This leaves MythoCreatologists vulnerable to the dangers they face in Australia’s magical frontier and, for this reason, they must be trained to become highly skilled in all forms of martial arts and matters of bush craft. It takes seven years to become a Graduate MythoCreatologist, another ten years to become a Master and a further ten to become a Grand Master.

The College of MythoCreatology

The College of MythoCreatology is the largest educational facility in the world. The College has been continuously growing since its construction as thousands upon thousands of mythocreats come to study the deeper knowledge of their culture. Today, the College is more like a city whose major purpose is the pursuit of wisdom. It has the greatest diversity of magical creatures in one location. The ‘Peace Treaty’ allows all mythocreats access to study or teach -no matter their class.
Since the College’s completion, approximately one hundred humans have also been invited to enrol. However, to the College’s immense embarrassment, some students on the MythoCreatologist’s path have fallen from their calling and become TreasureHunters. They now hunt Australia’s mythocreats for personnel gain. Today, one of the Colleges main functions is to train new MythoCreatologists to protect Australia’s mythocreats from the rogue TreasureHunters.

TreasureHunter:
(TREASURE + HUNTER) n. one who once was a MythoCreatologist but now hunts mythocreats for their treasure.

TreasureHunters are MythoCreatologists gone astray. Whilst serving and protecting Australia’s mythocreats, they have discovered the great riches that many of this country’s magical creatures posses and greed has entered their hearts. The knowledge and skill entrusted to them is now used for personnel gain in hunting down the mythocreats for their treasure.
TreasureHunters, as with MythoCreatologists, are martial arts experts, weapon masters and have an extensive knowledge of magical biology. However, as MythoCreatologists forgo things of technology to gain the trust of mythocreats, TreasureHunters embrace technology to assist them in searching, trapping and killing magical creatures. TreasureHunters consider mythocreats as a bounty to be sold to the highest bidder or butchered for their treasure.
Once a TreasureHunter has turned from the MythoCreatologist path they lose their ability to ‘Power Call’. However, there are a few cases where TreasureHunters have rejoined the ranks MythoCreatologists and regained their Call.
