Momano Headhunter O.C.C. (aka Devil Hunter) Momano Headhunters are trained to eliminate supernatural and unearthly threats.

Creatures they call "soupies" - slang for supernatural beings. "Mamano" is a title taken from the Japanese language by a class of headhunters that specialize in tracking, fighting, and disposing of demons, monstrous D-Bees, infernal monsters and the supernatural. They have made thier presence known by acting as heroic champions, demon slayers, and cocky mercenaries for hire in remote and hostile areas of the continent. They are most commonly encountered in and around the ruins of Detroit and Windsor, Calgary, the Magic Zone, and the territories once known as the Northern US and Southern Canada. "Moes" break with the typical headhunter credo that magic is evil, bad, dangerous or untrustworthy and use Techno-Wizard devices and the occasional other type of magic weapon. The Mamano Headhunters have a fair to good understanding of the principles of magic and are well versed in the supernatural. They are quick to recognize the influence of magic, such as ley line storms, enchantments, illusions, charms, and possesion, as well as behavior paterns that help them identify thier inhuman adversaries. They are trained in anti-magic countermeasures that include the identification, assessment, tracking, tactics and methods of destroying the supernatural, demonic, and creatures of magic. Combating inhumans and demons is the Mamano Headhunters' specialty. Scholars in matters concerning the supernatural, the Momano make it a point to know thier quarry. Consequently, thier first mission is the study of supernatural creatures, paranormal occurences, places of magic, ley lines, nexus points, and megaliths. Furthermore, the Momano tend to be very philosophical, including possessing a rudimentary knowledge of Eastern philosophy; unusual for most warriors of any kind. Furthermore, it is not uncommon to see a Momano who has a passion for such things as art, writing, poetry (Haiku is a favorite), botany, bonsai, calligraphy, or playing games such as chess, Go, or ma jong. "True" Mamano Headhunters have a high regard for knowledge, history, people, and honor. They are unshakably loyal to friends and family and will never betray anybody whom they have given their word of honor or whom they have befriended, even under threat of torture or pain of death. Ironically, thier philosophical, scholerly side combined with thier sense of honor and dedication to slaying monsters tends to alienate them from other men of arms. Many soldiers and warriors (as well as people in general) see them as "oddballs" who they can not quite put a finger on. The Momano Headhunters' often seemingly fearless, casual, matter of fact attitude toward the supernatural only adds to their troublesome oddness. Many folk believe them to be a "bubble off the plumb" (i.e. a little crazy). How else does one explain these demon hunters' cavalier attitude, smiles and joking when they are marching out to face some unspeakable supernatural evil? Although psionic powers are not required to be a Momano, approximately half of them posess some measure of psychic ability. Most of these are Minor or Major psychics, but some oare Bursters, Zappers, and the occasional Nega Psychic or Mind Melter. Psionics come in handy for the Momano Headhunters who use Techno-Wizard devices. Those with ESPer abilities have a resonable amount of I.S.P. but minimal P.P.E., while those without psionic powers will have an uncommonly high amount of P.P.E. for non-magic users. Momano O.C.C.
