Bounty Hunter

Criminals and fugitives are everywhere and since The Watch simply can't track all of them, bounties are set. Bounty Hunters have been around for ages and those who survive long enough to become good at what they do quickly gain recognition. Most are willing to travel great distances between regions in pursuit of their quarry and some even use any means necessary to capture them. Bondsmen or bail agents and sometimes vigilantes make good bounty hunters.

Explorer

Humans are fascinated by the unknown. That includes where they live. The continent they live on, though explored for the most part, still holds a whole lot of secrets. There are islands off the coast which still haven’t been discovered yet. The very north of the continent, because of a vast mountain ranged has not been seen by human eyes yet. And the gigantic dessert right in the middle suffers from so many sandstorms, it is simply impossible to map as ruins are covered and uncovered daily.
