A bounty hunter's sole purpose is to hunt down people with a price on their head, for grievances ranging from the mundane to the terrible. Those who follow this life can be quiet, taciturn individuals as readily as they can be savage brutes living not for the pay, but for the thrill of pursuit.

Suggested Characteristics

Bounty hunters might seem like villains on the surface, and many of them are villainous to the core. But some have an abundance of endearing, if not redeeming, characteristics. There might be honor among thieves, but criminals rarely show any respect for law or authority.

d8	Personality Trait
1	I tend to approach conversation with people I've just met as though it were an interrogation.
2	I project arrogance and conceit at times, especially after turning in a troublesome target.
3	I'll accept the help of others with a bounty, so long as they can prove their skill to me first.
4	It needn't be hunting down a mark - I'll chop firewood for an old woman if there's pay involved.
5	I'm not prone to idle chatter, and prefer keeping to myself unless the topic's business.
6	I've a great deal of practical experience from hunting bounties, and can relate to almost any situation.
7	I'm rather adept at games of skill like darts, or five-finger fillet.
8	I frequently move from town to town, eager to pursue new marks and seek new contacts.

d6	Ideal
1	Justice These people have violated the law once. I won't let it happen twice. (Lawful)
2	Clean-up I will get these criminals off the street with help from the law or not. (Chaotic)
3	Brutality Gold pales to the brilliance of the life draining from their eyes. (Evil)
4	Morality It's not enough to hunt them down. They have to understand what they've done is reprehensible. (Good)
5	Ambiguity This job's just a job, like any other. Nothing personal against my targets. (Neutral)
6	Endurance In no other line of work could anyone expect to test their limits so completely. (Any)

d6	Bond
1	I’m trying to pay off an old debt I owe to a generous benefactor.
2	Though my friends are few, I owe them my life many times over, and would happily die for them.
3	Horrendous tales and vile rumor destroyed my family's good name, and this path is the only recourse to find the truth.
4	The contract turned sour, and now I find myself yoked to dangerously twisted employers.
5	All my deeds would surely consign me to prison - only by servicing officials do I stay free.
6	Mindless thuggery stole the life of one I cherished, and the price they must pay is one I will collect.

d6	Flaw
1	Sleep, when it comes, is no sleep at all. The time spent tracking marks has left me skittish and paranoid.
2	Not only am I good at what I do, but I love what I do - and I hate myself for it.
3	I refuse to believe anyone can be trusted, and will root through their life until I'm satisfied they can be.
4	At a younger age my actions earned me the brand of a criminal, those mistakes haunting me and my fellows even today.
5	It is only for my own selfish need to be the best at what I do that I abandon my team to bring the bounty in first.
6	Contract or not, I never bring murder bounties back alive. They showed no mercy, and so neither will I.
