A human smiles mischievously at the brigands and corsairs blocking his path, and heals himself with a single golden-glowing palm- In a split second, he has crossed the short distance and unleashed a blossoming barrage of bolts, and bullets to the group. A halfling glows with a demonic aura, and readies her whip and pistol, grinning down at a dozen uneasy soldiers. An elf sits atop the edge of a roof, a massive clockwork crossbow held in her hands, carefully centering an eye-piece on a distant target- Twang!
Pirate Hunters are usually known for being ruthless combatants and yet they're also known to be brilliant trackers in the most populated of cities or in the vastest of the seas, one may run and hide from them but not for too long. Combining tracking skills & and technology as well as communing with creatures of other planes, they use their techniques to track down their target & destroy them in the name of their god, money- or just for fun.
Creating a Pirate Hunter
Try to wonder why your character became a Pirate hunter. Did your loved one was captured, causing you to travel the world in search of a target. Did you lose something or someone, you love closely to a creature or being, & never forgot, creating the hatred that will never die 'til they are slain? Or is your character just someone who likes killing for fun, yet has realized that there's more profit to killing than just the loot from the corpses?
