Alright, been reading through The Bounty Hunter Code, a RL book for sale. So far, lots of information we can use and, in all honesty, something we can definitely use for the Protectors.
Yes, the Protectors are a defensive unit primarily centered around defending and protecting Mandalorian borders, planets, and citizens. That said, most people kind of just look at us as the Mandalorian Reserve Units, which... isn't really the case. Toss on that we're pretty much funded by donations and corporate tax write-offs (IC'ly, that is. We all know that it's more than that lol), and we could use a little more activity.
Activity does require a direction, though, and while it's a bit random, let's be honest: it's kind of a tried and true Mando trade that goes back to Episode I with the first glimpses of Boba Fett.
I'm talking Bounty Hunting.
Thing is, most of the bounties in the Marketplace are... vague at best. Some are petty OOC shots fired over the interwebs. Others are legitimate, but no one wants to take the time and effort to coordinate or talk or do much of anything. They'd rather just go do some PvP in an invasion or crank out a dominion or dev thread a shiny new toy, which is fine.
But, for those of us who are a bit tired of cranking out doms, a little war weary from constant invasions, or have all the toys we need for now... This could be a bit of a change of pace. Plus, you earn a little money, a little clout, get some neat stories in, maybe a cool scar or tale to tell in the oyu'baat next week.
If folks are game, here's what I propose. I'm already going through the bounty board, inquiring here and there on whether or not bounties are active or completed. The active ones I'm going to mark down and catalog. Then, I'm going to get interested writers who want to pursue bounties to sign up. From there, I contact the writers the bounties are on and the bounty hunter as well, but separately. Once both parties are notified and okay OOC'ly with the arranged hunt, the two writers set up a thread, or one/both join an existing one, and the hunt begins. If the hunter is successful, the bounty issuer is notified, the bounty is turned in, and the bounty is paid to the hunter.
That's the bare bones, real basic run down of the proposal. It's actually a bit more complex than that, but that's the basic idea. There will also be things like gathering intelligence on the target which will be handled by others or the hunter themselves, should they so choose. Equipment will be provided from an armory with basic and advanced equipment provided free of charge while exotic and/or rare equipment are provided for a flat rate as a rental. A certain, small percentage of credits is pulled from each bounty to fund the organization as a whole and to provide the Protectors with a new revenue source outside of just donations and such.
There will be other perks such as free training, rescues, and other neat stuff, but that can be dealt with later on.
For now, that's the bare bones of it with a glance through the more complex areas. If enough people are game, I'd like to start setting up a series of Guidelines for prospective Hunters. Once that's done, I'll put out a call for Hunters to register and then start speaking with bounties. From there, Hunters are assigned to bounties and the games begin.
Otherwise, I'll pack up the idea and we'll try a different route lol
