If only polite society knew what it took to keep it that way. What would they say if wanted men roamed the streets? If that creature were knocking down their door at night? What if those cultists were able to summon what came from beneath? Not even lawmen not guards will go after what you will. Maybe they don't get paid enough, maybe they're short-staffed or busy doing other things...or maybe they just aren't up to the task. But you are, and they know it - that's why your name is called when theirs are not.

You are an experienced bounty hunter with a history of chasing down commissions. You have spent a lot of time among other bounty hunters and still have contacts within the profession. You're far closer than most people to the world of fugitives, dangerous monsters, and lost heirlooms that pervades civilization, and you survived up to this point by flouting the rules and regulations of society to get what you sought.

Skill Proficiencies: Deception, Survival, Intimidation

Tool Proficiencies: Forgery kit

Languages: One of your choice

Equipment: You've worked hard your entire life to outfit yourself the way you know best. A crossbow so your shot lands before the target knows it's dead? Or a greataxe to let them know if they don't come willingly, well, that won't be a problem either. Do you have clothes to fit in for any occasion, or just what you need to keep the sun off your back - after all, you don't need to look good, just fight good. A backpack full of trinkets and trophies? Or something else entirely? Thankfully your hard work has paid off, and you have the gold to show for it - and also to show the shopkeep, so you can get exactly what you need for this next job.

Suggested Characteristics

Bounty hunters might seem shrewd and callous on the surface, and many of them are corrupt and treasonous to the core. But some have an unwritten code, penchant for a sad story behind the reward, or a drive to bring their quarry back to the justice that awaits who paid them. There might be honor among regular lawmen, but bounty hunters rarely show any respect for law or authority when they're in pursuit of their bounty. 

d8	Personality Trait
1	I'm above those I pursue - and most everyone else as well.
2	Oh, you think your job is tough? Well let me tell you how I got THIS scar!
3	I don't mind working in a group, as long as you're not in charge.
4	I can hunt down any mark - your disbelief only sealed the contract.
5	You didn't know I'd caught that famous bounty? Don't worry, I'll tell you.
6	I can't hear the odds over the sound of gold falling into my hand.
7	No, I won't eat that disgusting slop. Only the finest cuisine for me, if you please.
8	I don't think you're a fool for believing in the almighty - I think you're an idiot for not believing in mine.

d6	Ideal
1	Justice. They had their one chance to live in polite society, I'll make sure they don't get another. (Lawful)
2	Freedom. Laws don't govern morality - I do, and fancy words written on fancy paper won't prevent me from catching my mark. (Chaotic)
3	Savagery. I don't do it for the gold, I do it to watch them swing at the end of a rope. (Evil)
4	Charity. I'll help someone that I think truly needs it, even if they can't pay what I'd otherwise demand. (Good)
5	Work ethic. I do a job, I get paid. Simple as that. (Neutral)
6	Aspiration. Nobody will be better than me at this. Nobody. (Any)

d6	Bond
1	Someone in my life was taken from me, and I won't let it happen to others.

4	My name will strike fear in the heart of any I pursue.
5	It's a dangerous job, and better me than my family or friends.
6	Innocent people died because I had mercy. That will never happen again.

d6	Flaw
1	It doesn't matter if it could kill me, if the price is high enough, I'll accept the risk and the contract.
2	Yes, I know I said we'd split it - and 60/40 was the split.
3	An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind - and maybe it should be that way.
4	The law isn't justice - I am.
5	If those who hired me knew what I did to get their job done, they'd hire the next person to hunt me down.
6	What does it matter if they don't like me? I'll be moving to the next town with the next bounty anyways.

Contacts

You've come across a lot of..interesting people during your time. Whether it's a reformed criminal who still keeps in touch as a minor fence that can feed you information, an organized crime boss who became a family man you trust to keep his business clean in exchange for knowledge, a census taker who knows where all the bodies are buried, or a shrewd tax collector who took a little too much out of the king's purse but knows where to find those who won't open their purse to the king's guard, you've made a valuable friend in high, or low, places that always seems to come through when the trail's run cold.
