Bounty hunting
is becoming increasingly popular in the world of 2020, as many disenfranchised
solo's and fixers, and disgruntled officers are finding it harder and harder
to make ends meet with their current profession's. In Night
City the police department prefers to work with bounty hunters, in some
cases even granting special part time employment status. The following

Mickey
is a former member of NCPD C-SWAT team 8, and still works with them whenever
possible. After it was by IAD he had been responsible for mistreating
prisoners Mickey was placed under suspension and put on reserve status
and now spends his time working as a freelance bounty hunter. It
was his commanding officer that requested his placement on reserve status,
as such an offense is usually grounds for discharge, and in his case, arrest.
Mickey was the fiancee' of his commanding officers sister, a beat cop in
the twelfth precinct, and when she was murdered one night while on duty
Mickey had received the news while making an arrest of a cybered booster
near the combat zone. The news drove him over the edge and blaming
the perp he nearly beat the young man to death.
On the force, Mickey was well liked, but his extreme bad luck (or good luck considering he survived) earned him the call sign of "Oops". He has a penchant for getting shot, and has somehow managed to shoot himself at least 7 times (although the most serious injury he sustained from this has been blowing off his left middle toe). On the streets he is known as Mad Mickey, a name earned after after several daredevil arrests, one of which was an ill fated attempt to nab a perp using a bungee cord, (unfortunately the perp weighed more than Mickey was expecting him too).
As a bounty hunter, Mickey specializes in apprehending Cyber-psycho's, drawing back to his time spent with MAX-TAC. This often means he is working along side C-SWAT, usually with Team 8. His reserve status even allows him to use police equipment and uniforms, although often he declines, finding his own weapons, gear, and armor to fit more to his taste.
Mickey is pretty rash, and relies heavily on his "macho" image, and cultivates this through a large collection of "real american" films, mostly starring Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Charles Bronson, etc....
Mickey
has a pet german sheppard named "Wally", a fully trained K-9 dog, he takes
with him almost everywhere. He has also been seeing a patrol officer
named Betty Kramer.
He
is well known on the street, for driving an old '92 Ford Taurus police
interceptor.
