฿ØɄ₦₮Ɏ ⱧɄ₦₮ɆⱤ₴ Bounty hunters are freelancers that take contracts to bring people to justice. Most work tends to come from the government of whatever city you happen to be in, but many also take jobs from private citizens as well. The use of bounty hunters for such work is very controversial, especially in Elysian where there is talk among the ministry about outlawing the practice.
For now though, they continue to operate in a grey area that gives them, arguably, a bit too much leeway with what is and is not legal. There have been several serious incidents over the past year or so that included major property damage and losses of life where bounty hunters were involved. This had led to even more of a push to either bring them under the umbrella of the government and subject to the same protocols, training, and discipline as law enforcement and military personnel… or to outright ban them. While they are freelance contractors, there is some organization and structure, they even have a code with which they practice their craft by. Each city has a hub where they can gather, operating as a sort of hotel, cantina, mall, and office. They provide private rooms to stay in, as well as places to eat, drink and mingle. There are vendors with shops to purchase weapons, ammo, gear, and supplies. Bounty hunters can also pick up contracts at these hubs, and even team up for larger jobs. Only bounty hunters are allowed in these places, and while there are expected to follow a code of conduct. If a bounty hunter is deemed to have broken any codes they will be sanctioned, and in severe cases they will be excommunicated and a price put on their head. |
