Demon Hunter

Career

Qualifications

Only an understanding of the existance of demons is required to practice as a demon hunter. The ability to use basic armaments and survive a fight are highly recommended.

Payment & Reimbursement

Unless a demon hunter has enough of a reputation to be hired, it is generally an unpaid profession. Demon hunters often turn to petty crime to find their work, justifying their misdeeds as necessary in the fight against evil.

Perception

Social Status

In modern society, any belief in the existance of demons, much less to the point of hunting them, is considered a sign of mental instability. Active demon hunters frequently hide their work for the safety of those around them. Those that do speak openly of their adventures are quickly discredited as frauds by the science and psychology communities.  Over time, many demon hunters have come to resent average people both for their denying the reality of demons and their willingness to look the other way when proof is presented.

Demographics

People from any age or walk of life may feel the call to hunt a demon. Some seek revenge, some see it as a holy crusade, while others see it as a way out of life's boredom.

Operations

Tools

Workplace

Some hunters may choose to stick close to their hometown, protecting it from demonic interferance, while others view the entire planet as their hunting grounds, traveling wherever work takes them.
