BHHF Find Braden
From Create Your Own Story
You move away from the lights and the music and the smell of sweat and beer, toward the back of the cantina where the private rooms are. In the back right room is your contact: an aging gentleman named Braden who has agreed to be your mentor to prepare you for the Great Hunt. For a bounty hunter like yourself, the Great Hunt represents the pinnacle of success. Whoever wins is guaranteed fame and many profitable contracts. You could be set for life if you win this thing.
Braden is pacing the room with his hands clasped behind his back. His hair has been recently shaved off and he wears a red jumpsuit, gray armor, gloves, and a thick black belt. There is a blaster boldly strapped to his right leg. The fact that this bounty hunter has lived long enough to earn gray hair is a testament to his success. He stops to look over the shoulder of a young dark-skinned girl whose back is to you. She is busily typing something in to her datapad. You can tell from her intense focus that she is an experienced hacker. Braden is pleased with what he sees. "We're almost set up," he says to the girl. "See if you can get that security network running, Mako."
Mako nods. "Sure thing, Braden. We'll be..." She senses you watching her and glances behind her. "Hey now," she says, eyebrows raised.
Braden turns your way and smiles warmly. "Hey indeed. The main attraction is here." You step fully into the room and he strides to you. "Team," he says to the others in the room. "this is the girl we're pinning all our hopes on. Best shot I've ever seen and nerves of steel. She's Great Hunt material all right. What do you say, hunter? Ready to meet your team?"
It takes you a moment to realize he's talking to you, since your name isn't really Hunter. No one knows your real name and no one needs to know. Your hunter name is Shadow Fang, but who's asking? You consider Braden's question.
