* OutWithABang: A subversion on the part of succubi and incubi; just about everyone who's had intercourse with one is dead, but the act itself is not lethal in the slightest. The part where they tear out your throat once they're finished, however...

** In the start of the apocalypse, a number of CrazyPrepared people just assumed that this would be how things would go, and decided to get a head start. When society ''didn't'' completely collapse, these people found it hard to be welcomed back into society due to all the raiding, pillaging, and such they had already done, so many just decided to stick with it. Thus is the origin story of around half of the bandits in the setting. (The other half are ''just'' crazy.)

A PlayByPostGame on ThisVeryWiki, Roleplay/BountyHuntersOfTheApocalypse takes place five years after the 2012 apocalypse. It wasn't quite the apocalypse most were expecting, though.

Practically overnight, a multitude of monsters that Humanity had long assumed to just be the work of fiction suddenly became real, such as zombies, werewolves, vampires, bizarre creatures that seemingly defy physics, various types of fairies, and a whole host of demons, just to name a few. While many people hoped that these creatures were more like newer, friendlier interpretations, that did not turn out to be the case; things like peace or just seducing confused teenage girls did not seem to be in these creatures' plans, instead mostly destruction and chaos.

As military forces around the world mobilized, it was quickly discovered that these creatures were not as immune to normal weaponry as the old stories would suggest. Despite being assaulted by an enemy that had started appearing all around the world simultaneously, Humanity fought back.

Humanity fought back so well in fact, that even after five long years, they still haven't been put down. Many governments still rule roughly the same areas they did before, with some leniency about where the borders are exactly; especially in regard to military deployments. With military forces mainly being deployed against only the most dangerous monsters or heavily overrun areas, and the police now concentrating on defending the civilian population, many countries had a gap to fill; how to go on the offensive against the monsters in less overrun areas.

The solution for many countries was placing mass blanket bounties on the monsters, and let Human fondness for monetary incentives take care of the rest. Bounty hunting as a profession had been revived under a new job description.
!!Provides Examples Of:
*CoolGuns: Many. The protagonists use numerous cool guns, such as the Colt M1911, Smith & Wesson Model 500, Winchester Model 1897 and FN P90.
*ImprovisedWeapon: Og is known to hit things with his entrenching tool ''very'' hard, while Dale keeps a Brooklyn Smasher around just in case.
*KleptomaniacHero: After clearing out the zombies that were infesting a farm house, the bounty hunters stole everything they could carry, hoping it would be of some use when brought back to town.
*PyroManiac: Nathan D. Ignacio, the bounty hunter who fights with his homemade flamethrower.
*RodentsOfUnusualSize: The aptly named giant rats are rats about the same size as a dog.
*ZombieApocalypse: Though, compared to the other monsters, the zombies are some of the least troublesome creatures out there.
