You search for the specific face of your mark in the crowd, and with ease you find them. Skilled in tracking people, lying, and quick thinking, you spent most of your life as a bounty hunter. You took what marks you felt like, and you were damned good at your job. Targets were never left standing if that's what the contract said.
You may have started on this path as a mercenary, or maybe as a righteous hunter of evils. Perhaps you stumbled upon this profession from a series of events, or by pure accident. Maybe you felt out of place in proper society- what ever the case, life lead you to becoming a bounty hunter.
- Skill Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in insight and investigation from your time spent reading people and searching for traces of your targets.
- Tool Proficiencies: You can gain proficiency with a disguise kit.
- Languages: You know one other language from your travels abroad.
- Equipment: A sturdy nondescript cloak, a small rodent as a pet (mouse, rat, squirrel, ferret) and a punch containing roughly 10 gold pieces from your last job.
A life of tracking down people to kill, take in, or otherwise kidnap and/or marr has prepared you for the worst in life. When stepping into a tavern, most can tell from a good look at you that you are hardened against the tides of life. People generally show you a little more respect, courtesy or even interest. You do not find it as hard to haggle for good prices, a warm bed and a meal due to the aura your presence gives off. A few people remain a little wary of you, but for the most, you earn a modicum of respect from those around you.
Suggested Characteristics
The life of a bounty hunter is usually quite solidarity by nature. Much of your time in life has been spent tracking down people with a bounty on their head, be it for a personal client or a public decree. You are wary of strangers, careful about what you say, and take time to think before you act. In your profession, barbarians are the first to die off due to how rash they are.
