Genessia Bounty Board
Oct. 6th, 2019 10:27 amGENESSIA BOUNTY BOARD
[Rules:
1. Unlike the bounties featured in the newspaper, working as a salaried bounty hunter ICly requires use of the buddy system. Any bounty marked two stars and up must be completed (and logged) with a team of at least two people, though more are acceptable. OOCly you are free to break the rules, so long as you're okay with facing the possibility of IC consequences should Winter find out. She doesn't want to be liable for your reckless behavior! Other IC rules include minimizing public and private property damage, taking criminals alive and turning them over to the local justice department (accidental and self-defense kills must be reported immediately to Winter Schnee), refraining from unneccessary brutality in capturing the criminal, and agreement to obey the local laws of the city in which they operate. A handwritten, video, or face-to-face report is expected within 24 hours of the bounty completion as Winter would like to know how well a character performed (or failed).
2. You may handwave any bounty marked with one star, though OOCly logs and posts are encouraged as the board is a means of creating engaging RP scenarios.
3. A bounty hunter's salary increases with the number of completed bounty hunting assignments. Handwaved missions do not count toward a qualifying pay increase. A beginning bounty hunter earns one star a month in addition to any rewards gained (Basic Level), increases to two stars after three successful missions (Gold Level), and finally increases to three stars after ten successful missions (Elite Level). These salary payments can be received only if the character's availability is 'on-call,' and may be reduced or withheld if the character is hibernating in the Dream Docks or otherwise unavailable to accept assignments on short notice.
4. It is up to the players to handle all NPC duties as needed when setting up the logs. Winter's player, however, is happy to assist with OOC planning and suggestions if you need help in creating more twists and turns.
5. If you want to submit a character's personal IC request for the Bounty Board, or even if you want to create your own submissions to be added and/or carried out, contact Faetan either through PM or Plurk or Discord (etc.) and they'll be added to the board!
6. While the newspaper bounties are open to anyone, ONLY a licensed bounty hunter under the Schnee Foundation's employ can access the exclusive bounties listed below.]
Genessia City | |
Bounty | Reward |
This Job Sucks!: The Torex Vacuum Company needs someone to sell their vacuums door-to-door. NOTE: Though this is a two-star bounty, this job can be performed solo and may be handwaved. This job will be removed once it has been completed four times (need not be consecutive or by the same bounty hunter). |
** |
Joy Joyce: Wanted for multiple counts of grand theft auto. The reward will be tripled if the stolen cars are also found and returned to their rightful owners. | *** |
Robert Lobe: Wanted for assault and battery of his next-door neighbor. Stubbornly refuses to cooperate with local law enforcement by pretending not to be home or altering his appearance and using a fake ID. | ** |
NOTE: Though this is a simple job that offers only a one-star reward, the cleaner will be on-site when the mini-marts are robbed by a disgruntled ex-employee. Stopping the robbery will double the reward, and capture of the robber will triple it. |
* |
Sinne Löschen: A mysterious unmarked cabinet has been appearing in arcades seemingly out of no where. Staff of the various arcades have no recollection of the cabinet's appearance, or even its disappearance, as it seems to be removed a day later to only appear in another arcade the next day. Those who have played it all described an uncontrollable desire to play the game when they were in the vicinity of the machine, but each of them have no memory of what the game even was and only a recollection of the migraines they got while playing. | ** |
Latex Lament: Someone dressed in a large rubber monster costume has been causing wanton property damage around town. This person breaks shop windows, kicks over plants and shrubs, dents automobiles, and even set a treehouse on fire. | *** |
Towers & Tarrasques: A tower master wants to get a group of people together to have a live action roleplaying session of the hit game Towers & Tarrasques. They encourage a team of people with good chemistry and a balanced party take part. There's no pay, but participants will get free pizza, soda and a set of polyhedron dice. Bring your own costumes. | N/A |
Face of the Coin: A local music collector found his vinyl collection stolen and the only thing in their place was a coin with heads on both sides. The collector doesn't care about apprehending the crook, just recovery of his vinyls. It took him forever to collect those. | * |
She's a Maniac: A disgruntled runner-up from a local dancing competition killed the judges with a pair of sharpened stiletto heels, and threatened the crowned champion by nailing their cat to their apartment door. | **** |
Attleton | |
Bounty | Reward |
Splash of Color: A local resident would like to have his house painted candy apple red. NOTE: This does not require a buddy system. However, the painter will find that the resident's neighbors are angry about the gaudy color and complain that it will lower the value of neighborhood homes. They will try to pester, annoy, guilt-trip, and/or threaten the painter if they intend to follow through. |
*** |
Move It: A local business is changing office locations and would like assistance in transporting furniture and supplies, and setting up in the new office. Will likely take a week, but includes a free lunch for each day the mover shows up to assist. NOTE: A buddy is not required, but the reward will be increased for each additional mover as it will shorten the moving and set-up time significantly. |
*** |
Cameron Thorton: Cameron is a con-man working under the false identity of 'Theodore.' He often poses as someone in need (pretending he was mugged, that he was evicted by an unjust landlord, his car broke down) to lure sympathetic victims into helping him, then steals their valuables when their guard is down. So far he hasn't caused any direct physical harm to his victims. | * |
Stee-Rike!: A rash of thefts targeting owners of rare and valuable baseball cards has collectors outraged. The culprit seems able to avoid setting off home security systems, but nonetheless has broken several windows and display cases to swipe the precious sporting memorabilia. | ** |

And the Children Shain't Lead: A group of children from various grades have been skipping classes and harassing anyone they cross paths with, saying they have magic powers and can conjure an all powerful being if they don't get what they want. In reality, this is a bunch of bogus, and the adults just want the kids to stop being so weird. And their staring is creepy. | ** |
Deja Vu: A group of hooligans have been racing cars at breakneck speeds around town late at night, well after most of the normal populace have gone to bed for the night. Needless to say, loud car noises and blasting music keep people awake. | * |
Wrath of Don: A baker recently reported the disappearance of her husband and she believes that he may have double crossed one of the local mafia bosses. She's unsure if he's in hiding or if the mafia got ahold of him, but she fears for his safety and wants him brought home- whether that means alive or dead. | *** |
Everglade | |
Bounty | Reward |
Bouncer: A local strip club wants to hire a bouncer for a week. Will hire up to three at a time. NOTE: While performing this job, a perverted vampire will take on the form of a bat and fly up to the skylight trying to get a peek at the dancers. |
* |
Splintered: A peg leg signed by a famous vampire hunter (after it was used as a makeshift stake against one of those creatures) has been stolen.

NOTE: The peg leg was stolen by the slain vampire's lover who plans to hunt down and kill the vampire hunter with the very weapon he wielded as the ultimate ironic revenge. |
** |
Circelli: A petty thief who frequents Mystic's Alley. Not considered dangerous, but is quick and agile, evading capture for years. | ** |

The Mummy's Dance: A group of mummies just want to have a private party, but their tomb was recently discovered so they can't have it there without pesky grave robbers crashing it. Payment - and a party invitation - will be rewarded to anyone who can find them a new place to throw their party and keep it under wraps. | * |
Day Trap: A vampire returned to his home before the dawn, only to find it was currently occupied by a bunch of fashionably challenged teenagers as part of a dare to stay in a "haunted house" for an extended period. The vampire wants them out, but attempts to spook them out without harming them hasn't worked. A reward will be given to whoever gets these teens out so the owner can get a good day's sleep without the scent of hairspray in the air. | ** |
Doppeler Radar: There have been reports of various thefts and murders taking place throughout Everglade, and although there is little evidence linking the crimes together, these reports have surfaced along with doppelganger sightings. It is believed that this doppelganger is taking the forms of law enforcement and other high officials to get close to people and then feeding off of them or taking their valuables. | **** |
Fayren | |
Bounty | Reward |
Getbackers: Find and return a stolen bottle of wine, taken from Grassley Shib's best wine cellar. NOTE: The bottle is actually a prison for a wicked djinn, who will promise to grant whoever frees it one wish. This wish will be a monkey's paw, and will likely backfire horribly. |
** |
Baleful Polymorph: Several knights, when their patrol routes got too close to the woods, have been reported missing, only to be found days later in an altered form.

Additional one-star payments are offered to any who can find/cure the victims. | *** |
Mer-Thief: The stock of water-breathing potions in every magic store has been either destroyed or stolen by a rogue merperson from Lake Bellaheim who definitely doesn't want any visitors who don't belong. Initially posted as a level 2 payment, this has been escalated to level 4 as the previous bounty hunter who pursued this person was killed and left to rot on the shore of the Sapphire Lake near the Elven settlement of Doeshire. | **** |

Knight Drags On: A knight was tasked to rescue a maiden from a dragon that lives in the mountains, but there was a huge misunderstanding: The dragon he was instructed to fight is elderly, complete with hearing problems and false teeth, and the "kidnapped" maiden was there to help it. A reward is offered to someone willing to aid this elderly dragon long enough for the knight and maiden to set the record straight in town. | * |
Something's On the Move: A magical artifact that takes the form of a black tiara said to have belonged to a witch of the sea has recently been stolen from a wizard. In the wrong hands, this tiara is extremely dangerous both to the user and those around them, with legends stating the tiara may cause extreme stormy weather at random. Such weather will make ships unfit to sail as result, now both the wizard and sailors want the artifact found and safely sealed away. | *** |
