Does your character have some sort of special job if they aren't a Maverick Hunter? You're not forced to be a hunter you know, so there are all sorts of occupations you can give to your characters. Just about anything is possible, but I will name only a couple of common occupations that this setting sees.
If there are those who wish to fight for justice, yet do not want to be entangled by the affairs of the hunters, then you have Mercenaries. While they fight for a price depending on the job, most mercenary's intentions are not ill. They hate troublemakers just as much as the employer. But the rules still apply if it's a human they have to hunt down if the mercenary is a machine, as they risk being deemed Maverick. While cyborgs aren't necessarily fully human anymore, they are still labeled as one, so them killing another human just as their job doesn't affect them. Same for humans facing each other. Most Reploid mercenaries just hand over their target if faced with a human. But depending on the mercenary, most of them are pure and just fight for both justice and zenny (which is this setting's money) so they can live.
But there are some that are like mercenaries that don't care what their jobs are. They would stoop to the lowest if it meant they would get their reward. These fearless assassins are called Bounty Hunters. Reploid, human...anyone can be a target for them and they swear absolute obedience to their employers for the sake of their desperation for zenny. Most bounty hunters who are Reploids do not fear being labelled Maverick for their actions, as they know they've done with they did as necessary and it was their employer that wished for such activities. However, they are smart to stay in the shadows most of the time, as the only thing they're worried about is survival.
...Who says being Maverick isn't a job? There are some Reploids out there that have accepted their new title, whether given to them from a misunderstanding or they truly did something so heinous to deserve it. Mavericks who aren't caught by the hunters or anyone who was hired to take them out usually make out the rest of their lives in hiding or stay away from cities most of the time. Some of them are truly scum of the earth and try their best to create some sort of chaos to fuel their lust for destruction. However, being Maverick is exclusive to Reploid/Bio-roid characters only.
That's the common occupations. But your character can take any kind of job that isn't spoken of here, as long as it makes sense. Private I. who also fights, a Researcher strictly dedicated to studying enemy combat capabilities during battle, etc. Be creative!
