Note: Who am I ?
Capture Delayed
The indirect approach. The hunter commonly captures people around or near the intended acquisition. He interrogates his victims to find out what he can, while forcing the target to watch while more of his or her friends mysteriously disappear. Eventually, the acquisition's growing uncertaintywill result in a fatal mistake the hunter can capitalize on.
Challenger
This hunter prefers to locate his opponent and then issue a personal challenge to one-onone combat. This hunter prefers a quick resolution to the contest (perhaps due to ego or a belief that confronting the target will prevent the deaths of many innocents) and to that end will often put his or her life in jeopardy where others might take a safer route.
Connoisseur
A connoisseur is a bounty hunter who hunts only a select type of quarry, for example, only Rebel officers, only Gamorreans, and so forth. Whatever the attraction, the hunter gears each hunt specifically to the selected target, using personal and species' foibles, interests and prejudices to his advantage.
Droid Hunter
Droid hunters are a special breed: mechanical beings who choose to hunt living organisms. Droids are not accorded full rights as citizens of the Empire - they are property. Droid hunters must often be shrewd and careful, often choosing to adopt a false identity, such as a "harmless" protocol or medical droid, for example. Droid hunters can also inspire fear since they are widely regarded as heartless mechanicals. This reputation can often be exploited to the droid hunter's advantage.
Flamboyant
Rather than working behind the scenes, the flamboyant hunter prefers to announce his or her presence and the object of the hunt quite openly, and even brazenly. Relying on personal reputation to precede them, flamboyant hunters are often free with bribes and offers of personal favors in exchange for information or services rendered. fn many cases, such generosity can result in a traitor coming to the fore with critical data for a near-perfect capture.
Gentleman Hunter
An aristocrat among hunters, this individual goes after only the most select and dangerous of all the Empire's numerous criminal elements. Style and flair are foremost; guilt or innocence is hardly worth consideration. If the person is not on the Empire's "Most Wanted" list, they are not worth the gentleman hunter's time. The gentleman hunter is a master of civility and charm as much as weapons and martial arts.
Grand Seducer
The grand seducer spends a large portion of the hunt uncovering a single, overriding weakness or need of the intended victim. The hunter then presents the victim with an alluring means of satisfying that need or weakness. The target is continually offered this temptation, unaware that the source is an accomplished bounty hunter. After disposing of intermediaries sent on the victim's behalf (an optional step), the victim is forced to emerge from hiding, driven by personal impulses they cannot control. At this stage, the target is vulnerable and easy prey.
Minimalist
The direct approach. Smash a few skulls (or carapaces or whatever) until someone tells you what you want to know. Locate your intended acquisition, load up your weapons, land on his doorstep and let the firepower do the rest. Minimalists will generally give an acquisition one chance to surrender; after that, all bets are off.
Perfectionist
The perfectionist sees himself or herself as the ultimate professional hunter, enjoying the hunt as a personal battle of wits against another sapient creature. Each hunt is planned with meticulous care and attention to detail. No amount of logical preparation and prior planning is spared. The hunter learns about the target's whereabouts, weaknesses, and possible allies. Once located, the hunter formulates the perfect trap. Disguise and deception are often employed and no expense is spared. However long it takes, the perfectionist will work unceasingly to the single end of outwitting the target; in the best of circumstances, the target will walk directly into the hunter's waiting grasp.
Renegade Hunter
This hunter operates close to (or beyond) the edge of Imperial law. Officials or persons in government circles are no longer well disposed to this individual and may even be actively working against him. The renegade may be a despicable outlaw, or possibly an honorable being one step removed from the Rebel Alliance.
Retriever
Aspecialist of sorts, this hunter hires himself or herself out solely for missions involving the safe return of victims of kidnappings and related crimes. Avariant on the retriever concept is the hunter who hires out only for missions that involve the return of priceless stolen artifacts, or objects of great importance to the sponsor of the bounty. This hunter always places the safety of Gaiaxy Guide I0: Bounty Hunters the victim (or object) first; the bounty to be collected from the capture of the criminal is secondary.
Scientific Hunter
This hunter favors the application of the scientific method to all that he or she does. The hunter relies on the ability to maneuver through computer or communication networks or the ability to customize equipment for specific results to capture the acquisition.
Secret Hand
This hunting style advocates stealth and attacks by an unseen enemy. The hunter exercises great pains to keep the acquisition unaware he or she is the object of a hunt and to keep the identity of the hunter secret to the end. Given the acquisition does not know that he or she is being hunted at first or who exactly he or she is up against, the hunter retains an edge. Even after a successful capture, a hunter may refuse to reveal his or her identity, preferring to use anonymityand secrecy repeatedly.
Sinister Power
The hunter uses a reputation for ruthlessness as a weapon. Fear of the hunter's past exploits, magnified by uncertainty and an incomplete knowledge of the hunter's true abilities, combine to present the victim with an image of the hunter as someone larger than life and likely to overcome any obstacle.
Sportsman
To the sportsman, each acquisition is unique and should be respected as such. Sportsmen will typically try to stretch out the hunt whenever possible, even if more "direct approaches" present themselves. In all fairness, they will kill only in self-defense and only after the hunted is aware they are being actively stalked and have been given the chance to fight or flee in return.
Tag-Teamer
Tag-teamers are hunters who prefer to work in pairs or larger teams. Many are specialists who complement each other's skills and abilities. Often tag-teamers will employ a "bait-and-see" approach: one hunter openly presents himself to "flush out" the acquisition. Meanwhile, the other hunter readies the trap to capture the target.
Taster of Blood
This type of hunter is one to be respected and pitied at the same time. Somewhere in the hunter's past, the individual acquired a taste for the hunt and now cannot stop. Such an individual may not have purposely selected bounty hunting as a career of choice, but is "hooked" on the excitement. Given this overpowering desire, this particular hunter may often pursue a foe beyond the hunter's abilities, sometimes dragging the hunt on until the quarry is exhausted and completely defenseless.
Terrorist
Not content with simply capturing an acquisition atthe earliest possible opportunity, the terrorist seeks to undermine the target's resolve by striking at whatever he or she holds dear. In a hunt that typically ranges several months (or even years), the terrorist strikes repeatedly at anything the victim cherishes, effectively isolating the opponent from friends and assistance. Finally, maddened by anger and desperation, the acquisition makes one fatal mistake and the hunter successfully closes the hunt once and for all.
Tinkerer
However successful this hunter is, he or she is always looking for the way to do things better. This hunter is characterized by the use of personally designed gadgets and contraptions of dubious origin.
