July Bounty Hunter Contest 2010

[Darkson]

So for the release of AE-Bounty we are going to have July be the month of the Bounty Hunter.

The Rulez:
1) Paint up one Bounty Hunter and write up a background for him.

2) Your Bounty Hunter must be usable under the AE-Bounty rules system.

3) No it does not need to be a Darkson miniature (but it could help).

4) Have fun with this.

Contest will close Aug 1st.

We can enter more than once, right? I've got a few options I'd like to try out, but I'm waiting for the book to check proof of concept.

[Darkson]

Yes.

As always you may enter as many times as you like.

[silentbob27]

Ooooh. I want to do this but I hit my allotted gaming budget this month already. Might have to use a proxy until I can clear funds next month.

[CmdrKiley]

Fortunately I have a number already in the que. Unfortunately my basement project is picking up.

[Doctor Warlock]

I just hope my stuff arrives in time LoL!

Here is my veteran Lurker with LRF Particle Beam, Shock Gloves, and an articulated Weapon Harness. I'm not sure what type of Alien this model is supposed to be. I think he is just a generic one you can use as anything you want for stats so I will use him as a Human with Hunter(x).



Edit: touched up some mistakes I noticed in the pictures, added alien script to the weapon and took better pictures.

[Darkson]

Love the skull.

Give a bit of back story for him.

[xGIxJOKERx]

Oh, would probably help to read all the rules, huh?
Criminals on the New Dawn space station speak in hushed tones of a skull-faced bounty hunter. Known simply as 'The Specter,' this hunter is known to turn up where he is least expected. No outlaw has seen the face under the helmet and lived. The lucky ones are brought in alive, a sharp pain from a shock glove the last thing they feel before slipping into unconsciousness. Tales range wildly from source to source, some swear he is an expert in taking down brutal Arges and others have seen him shrug off psi blasts from a Logician. The one thing that remains consistent is his single-minded focus on taking down his chosen target, regardless of race and his ability to appear seemingly out of nowhere.

Chim’tel’var’len (Chim for short), was born into a life of wealth and privilege. Part of an influential lawyer’s Troop, Chim was raised believing that the law was the most important thing to society. Handsome and athletic, Chim was expected to continue the family line and settle into a life of legislation. This came to an end with the terrorist attacks of Reista.

Arlon Xanth was a notorious criminal who was apprehended in Simsinia Space and set to go to trial for his crimes. He was sure to be found guilty and executed. His crew had other plans though. Targeting the prosecutors and judges on Reista, Xanths crews systematically killed their way to him, freeing the Burglar Captain and fleeing into space.

As the smoke cleared, Chim found himself wounded but alive. The same couldn’t be said about his troop though, as all were killed when their colony-house was blown up. It would take months of recovery before Chim was able to leave the hospital. That time was not wasted, as Chim used his inheritance to purchase a ship, weapons, and crew. Gaining a Writ of Bounty from government friends, he was now a legal Bounty Hunter in the system. Xanth would pay, and pay dearly.

This unit is designated MN-KE0506221-1, and created by the Tra-Val Corporation. Loaded with a very rudimentary AI, this android was originally designed as a high gravity, hazardous condition construction unit. One aspect of its design though, made it easily modified into an Exterminator class android. It is one reason why reports of thefts of these androids were so high during their production run. They were eventually banned by the Del’Rathi Union after the massacre at Gronda Heights. Many were still available when the Union fell, and word that Tra-Val is now producing the line again makes these androids very much in demand once again.

MN-KE0506221-1 began its criminal life after being won in a game of cards. It was modified by the Burglar Captain Xanth into an Executioner to help in his criminal enterprises. For years it stood beside its master as the perfect bodyguard. This came to an end when the bounty hunter Captain Chim caught up with Xanth. Taking the damaged parts that was MN-KE0506221-1, Chim had his techs repair and refurbish it. Now named “Monkey”, MN-KE0506221-1 has been an invaluable member of the Void Ranger Bounty Company and bodyguard to Captain Chim.

Not in time for this contest. I want to peruse what sorts of Jungle-type inserts I can find at Gencon and apply them to his whole crew.

[Darkson]

Love the hat.
