Description: Bounty Hunters are mercenaries who kill or capture criminals for governments (or sometimes enemies for the criminal underworld). A bounty hunter is a hunter of men who may track his quarry across the world and through hostile environments.

Being a bounty hunter is physically demanding and requires the will to follow targets for great distances.

A bounty hunter is significantly different from an Assassin. Where an assassin always kills her targets, a bounty hunter may be sent to capture them. A bounty hunter is far more likely to be working in a legal capacity and generally works alone. Many bounty hunters are not solicited directly by their employers, instead finding notices posted indicating the price offered for a person. While an assassin requires secrecy, bounty hunters can become famous with no problems.

Some bounty hunters have signature weapons - usually large and exotic weapons chosen to strike fear into their enemies.
