Survival and money are all you know. As a youngling, you were not raised well and ended up taking a rode of hatred and sorrow. As you grew, you studied how to use weapons and the most effective and efficient way to kill. You learned how to steal and lurk in the shadows. You end up hunting people for money. Your methods are rather unorthodox.
When you choose this background, work with you DM to determine what guild you are a part of, How high ranked you are in this guild or organization, and how good of a bounty huntar you are. Where did you grow up or when. Do you work for a private company or a huge guild.

As a hunter, you have to play a specific unit. Choose from the options in the table below to determine your role:
| d4 | Specialty |
|---|---|
| 1 | Infantry |
| 2 | Healer |
| 3 | Standard bearer |
| 4 | Aim and Marksmanship |
You have a Guild rank from your career as a Hunter. Hunters loyal to your former military organization fear you and stay out of your way. You can use your rank in the guild to exert influence over other Bounty Hunters and requisition Jobs or Loans. You can also usually gain access to Transportation and men.
