Being a bounty hunter comes with perks, but the job isn't for those who are faint-of-heart. Bounty hunters are completely exempt from tithes. Additionally, they are permitted to carry any weaponry they see fit, as long as those weapons are not silver or blisterwood.

Why was this done? Officially, the ruling classes in Morytania claim it's a fine success, the removal of weaponry across the country - it means that terorists and outlaws will have much more difficult times obtaining their equipment. ....however, outlaws and terrorists still exist, and so the BOoM was created in advance - so that Morytania could deal with such problems.

"Why not let the Vyrewatch handle it?" - this is a common question which is sent to the Bounty Office. The simple answer is, the Bounty Office means that humans can be employed at good rates, being given food and gold aplenty.

What is required of a bounty hunter? Simply that they have nerves of steel, a quick sword hand (or crossbow trigger), that they follow the law, and that they hunt down and kill their targets without mercy. Lawful bounties, which both protect Morytania, and give the fighters food and gold. What's not to love?

This is you! Or, this COULD be you if you apply!

The quiet sort, Eddard's a man of few words. His skills with tracking and combat are rumored to be unmatched. The man shows no mercy, and is one of the top Bounty Hunters to date.

A powerful summoner, Claire's capable of both summoning tracking wolves or frenzied, armored minotaurs. A very promising Hunter.

On top of the coin, the food and the water, the Bounty Office of Morytania can and will offer certain "extra" items to Bounty Hunters to help them complete their jobs. Who they're given to and when largely varies, and it's up to Randall, the Bounty Master, to decide whether or not you deserve one.

For those who've completed their first bounty, they recieve an all-purpose, all-weather duster, otherwise known as "The Hunters' Trenchcoat". Mainly for recognition as a Bounty Hunter, this optional coat has many deep pockets, and can help hide and muffle a set of armor underneath.

Up to two pistol-crossbows may be given out to Bounty Hunters who've completed more challenging bounties. These crossbows are small, easy to fire quickly, and surprisingly accurate. They've saved many Hunters' lives.

A very powerful piece of equipment indeed, this lightweight, high-power crossbow can tear holes through whatever you point it at. Generally used for a single-shot ambush, this crossbow is exceptionally useful, and lightweight and sturdy enough to lug around Morytania!

Seriously show off your skills as a grand Bounty Hunter and you might earn yourself some "Specialist bolts". These come in various different "flavours", including:


(Expensive!)

Once you're a bounty hunter, you get some special perks which come with the job. These perks and privileges vary dependent on who you are and how well you preform out in the field. Remember, the government's paying for your services! So, with such power backing you, these perks and privileges are absolute. Nobody, not even the Vyrewatch, not even the leader of a coven, can legally interfere with you when on business.

Your status as a Bounty Hunter is represented through one thing only : your Bounty Hunter Card, which has your name, details, and some traces of magic to make the card traceable incase it's stolen, or incase you die on an assignment. You MUST carry this card with you whenever you're on duty, and whenever you're carrying weaponry in Morytania.

When on an assignment, you will be given a . This may be shown to any authorities who try to interfere with your bounty hunting, and will prove that you are legally able to kill your target. IF YOU DO NOT BRING PROOF THAT YOUR TARGET IS TO BE LEGALLY KILLED BY YOU, WE CANNOT HELP YOU THROUGH THE CONSEQUENCES.

Morytania is categorically filled up with various beasts which just refuse to die under normal circumstances. Acknowledging this, seasoned Bounty Hunters may be given special Licenses, which will allow them to carry normally-illegal equipment with them.

Ghouls, ghosts, demons, nechryael, banshees...all of the above and more are hard-to-kill magical creatures. So, in light of this, skilled Bounty Hunters are sometimes given certificates along with silver, or silver-alloy, weaponry. A Silver Certificate means that the Bounty Hunter in question is legally permitted to carry silver weaponry.

Almost unheard of, very very few Bounty Hunters have ever held one of these licenses. This entitles the holder to posession of not only silver and silver-alloy weapons, but of blisterwood, a hard-to-use material which is exceedingly effective in combat - against vampyres. Since rogue vampyres are normally dealt with by enforcers or by other Vyrewatch, these certificates are only handed out to the most chillingly deadly Bounty Hunters.
