Title: Faction idea: Bounty Hunters guild.
Post by: KillSlim on 11-07-2009
My idea for a faction in Star Wars RP.

For some reason I've always been a little obsessed with Bounty Hunters, only because they look and act so bad-ass. It seems not only Humans are Bounty Hunters in Star Wars, droids, hybrids and other Aliens seem to flock to Bounty Hunting maybe as a last resort of a career.
It sounds like easy work, Hunt a guy, bring him back alive (If requested), and get payed. But of-course, it's never easy.
Bigger bounties are generally for people who are considered more dangerous, or just small-fry criminals who are mad at by angry rich people.
Bounty Hunting is mostly frowned upon as it is mostly related to the black market, assassinations, illegal activities and such.
Remember in Star Wars episode V, Bounty Hunters are aboard with Vader and are discussing hunting down Han-Solo. The attitude towards Hunters is displayed by the Imperial officer who says: "Ugh, Bounty Hunters, we don't need their scum."
I think they are mostly hated due to the reason of them hunting you if you have a decent-sized pay check on your head. Anyone would hate whoever put you in jail or to death and get payed for it.

Anyway, I would love to make a 'Bounty Hunter's Guild' for other Bounty Hunters to join. ICly, it would aid other lone Hunters or 'Cowboys', hunt down bigger bounty-heads. It would also be a nice group to roleplay as and with. Seeing Bounty Hunters in this upcoming RP server will certainly add more of an atmosphere.
Thanks.
Oh, and, I could create SWRP maps, just request them and I'll do my best.

Woodfin, if you even bothered to read it you will read that they are not assassins.
Assassins kill people for money.
Mercenaries are guns for hire.
Bounty hunters bring back bounty-heads to whoever set the bounty money. There will be a lot more potential roleplay than just killing them, like Injure RP for instance.

I know that and I love them as anyone elss, but there will be people abusing it. You see a good number of people don't know what it means, they will think there assasians. And if it wasi'nt for this I would join.

Then it's simple! Do the right punishment: If they abuse it, remove it from them. Same with ToolTrust in any serious roleplay scenario.
Please don't be put off by a faint first-impression by two people overly influenced by other roleplaying scenarios. :)

Yeah this would be a interesting faction like the bounty hunters guild controls and punish the bounty hunters working with them and for those mandalorian fans they could always be a bounty hunter its pretty much the same as mercenary work except alot more precise

*Facepalm*
Bounty Hunters aren't Mercenaries. They're not like Mercenaries. They're completely different. Also, bounty hunters wouldn't control or 'punish' other hunters because they're working the Mandalorians.
