Bug Hunter
Bug Hunter
    “Life has gotten a lot more interesting since the blow up at Chicago.  People look at me funny because of the way I look.  But I know they’re out there, and I can’t let my guard down for a moment.  Not one moment, that’s how they get you, the bugs.  Crawl up inside your brain then they eat you up from inside.  What’s left comes out a new bug, rips you apart like rotten tomato, leaves a dried out husk.”
    You want me to hunt them for you?  You’re gonna pay me?  How much?  Frag, I ain’t that crazy.  Twice that and then maybe I’ll consider it.  You have no idea what it’s like, believe me you don’t wanna know.  So pay up and leave the rest to me.”
Commentary:  Everybody has to make a living, from the wageslaves punching clock at Desperation Terminal to the runners living at Roach Motel™.  But to pay your rent by killing giant bugs, you have definitely got to have a screw loose.  The Zone may have gone down but the Bug Hunter has found that the skills that allowed her to survive in the Containment Zone are in hot demand by every Corporate slag who thinks his golden child must have been possessed by bugs to have run off from his gilded corporate life.
    Unlike other adepts who deal with spirits the bug hunter has no interest in Astral space or anything related.  In the Containment Zone messing with the Astral Plane could lead to attack by hundreds of insect spirits.
