Bounty Hunter Name Generator

How the Bounty Hunter Name Generator works

How the bounty hunter name generator works

A bounty hunter is named by three different people, themselves, the guild and the people they hunt, and the generator gives all three and the reputation that grows in between. The working name is the plain one, a name from the shared cast of this section, Maren Voss, Corvin Draven, Sela Onne, Kael Okonkwo, or the surname alone, Halloran, Ryker, Vasq, Thorne, or the first name alone, Nyx, Sable, Rook, since a hunter who gives a full name is either honest or lying and the reader should wonder which. The reputation is what the trade calls them, an adjective and a plain word, the Quiet Man, the Patient Hand, the Kind Eye, the Polite Knock, the Last Question, the Tired Stranger, or a job word, the Collector, the Ledger, the Locksmith, the Undertaker, the Auditor, the Receipt, the Shepherd, the Hound, the Finisher, or a title, Widow Halloran, Doctor Vasq, Brother Draven, Mother Okonkwo, Deacon Thorne, or a place, the Hand of Callix, the Stranger of the Belt, which is the name that arrives a day before the hunter does. The guild handle is the licence, a single code word in the manner of a callsign, Kestrel, Ledger, Lantern, Warden, Harrow, Tally, Sexton, or with a number, Ledger-41, Talon-7, or the guild form, Hunter 7-Vasq, Hunter 23-Onne, Kestrel Draven, or the bare licence, Licence 3120, Licence 8815, which is how the guild's board lists them and how the bounty is paid. The wanted poster is the hunter as the hunted see them, the fragments the wanted put together, Vasq, called Lantern, Sela Onne, alias Tally, the one they call Harrow, Halloran, no first name, Rook, surname unknown, Maren Voss, called the Collector, which is what a fugitive knows about the person coming for them, and it is never enough.

Working name gives the plain one. Reputation gives what the trade calls them. Guild handle gives the licence. Wanted poster gives what the hunted know.

There is no gender option, since the first names are shared across the cast and a reputation is what a hunter does rather than who they are.

The lists are original. The names are the shared cast of this section, the reputations and titles are ordinary words used the way the real underworld nicknames use them, and the code words are built for this page; no published bounty hunter or franchise name appears in the lists, a match with a novel, a series or a game would be chance, and a name intended for commercial use should be searched first.

For the pirate the hunter is sent after, the space pirate page; for the smuggler with a price on their head, the smuggler name page; for the callsign the hunter's ship answers to, the callsign page; for the hunter of the neon city, the cyberpunk handle page; and for the ship the hunter flies, the starship name page.
