Bounty Puck (Tools)
Table of Contents [hide]

Every bounty begins with a target. Whether motivated by justice, revenge, or any of the other myriad reasons sentients have for requiring another's presence -- warm or cold -- the first step in putting a price on any head is identifying who is to be rendered. The holographic bounty puck serves as both tender of contract and token of acceptance. Depending on whether a particular jurisdiction accepts it, the puck may also serve as a warrant for arrest.

In addition to a holographic image of the target, the puck also contains a dossier of whatever information the client is able or willing to provide to hunters. This might include physical characteristics, chain code, known aliases and associates, last known whereabouts, or any other information that may lead to capture.

As a document for the bounty transaction, bounty pucks typically specify the bounty's value and any particular requirements the client may opt for. If a client has a preference in whether the target is delivered dead or alive, the puck will define a value for each status. This is most applicable when law enforcement entities offer bounties to bring criminals to justice. Legal bounty pucks also typically state the crime for which the target is wanted, identify the jurisdiction in which the bounty is valid and direct local law enforcement to, if not actively assist, at least refrain from interfering with the bounty hunter in their work.

Although nefarious individuals also sometimes place live bounties, this is rarely to the target's benefit. Perhaps surprisingly, these illegal bounties also often contain details of the offense for which the bounty was placed. Sometimes this information is phrased to resemble a legal bounty; more often it is a thinly veiled threat toward anyone else who might offend the client.
