In other words the Hunter is an Winchester newbie and Mage is...magic time.The primary difference is noteriety and access.
As a Hunter, you're just a normal old human who got a shotgun and wants to fight monsters. Even if you do defeat the vampire, no one's really gonna come looking for you at first. However, it also means you don't have anyone you can really rely on when shit does hit the fan. Plus, you don't have much experience when it comes to supernaturals. You just started.
As a Mage it's the opposite. You're a magic user, and you have already started making waves around here. While you're not on everyone's lips, you are known to a few people around here. This will give you a base that you can rely on in case you need anything, but it also means that the supernaturals will start coming after you sooner. However, since you're a Mage, you're kind of equipped to deal with them. But using magic might just bring more trouble.
Then there's the Spiral Power Aspect.
The Hunter will have your normal type. You will be able to make the Impossible Possible. You'll essentially be the first instance of a normal human being able to stand toe-to-toe with supernaturals without the need of artifacts, magic, or half-breed powers.
The Mage on the other hand....ever wonder what it would be like if Mages didn't have to worry about Reality punishing them when they used their magic? Or if a Mage tried to be a literal Muscle Wizard and set their hand on fire to punch a Werewolf in the face?

Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.Three years later, they're complaining about Loan Debt while you're thirteen bucks an hour for picking up and putting down building materials. It hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows of course. You've had your fair share of asshole clients and on the job injuries, but you've been living just fine. Even managed to save up and buy your own house in a small, quiet neighborhood. Life was going OK for you.
Considering that he just learned that monsters out of bedtime stories are real, throwing everything you thought you knew about the world to a loop, he's taking it all rather well.The sight of a young man about your age, having his flesh ripped apart by a monster straight out of a horror movie. You were frozen long to the spot. You couldn't breathe, couldn't scream, couldn't even look away. Like a deer in the headlights, you unwillingly beheld the horrifying act from a safe distance. Five minutes that felt like hours passed before you regained control of your body. You booked it to your car and drove home never once looking back.
You tried to forget what you saw, but you couldn't. Especially not after going through your memories that night, and realizing something that chilled you to the bone. The creature that attacked the young man was wearing the same yellow t-shirt that's apart of your uniform.
This is what ultimately led you to your actions last night. The thought of a monster so close to your job filled you with terror...at first. But as you investigated and discovered that this wasn't its first victim, your terror turned to anger. You couldn't let this go on. The police would never find them, and no one would believe you if you told them. You had to do something.
