==YAUTJA HONOR CODE==
This is the Code of HONOR that governs the Predator race. It is the highest law of thier kind, and something of a
religous code. It is taken with the utmost seriousness, and one can not even joke about breaking it. A false
accusation of an Honor Code violation will get a predator torn limb from limb when the news of your discression is
made public. To break the Code is stop being a Yautja, and becoming something that is to be killed with as little
consideration and honor as an illness carrying insect.
1.Hunting Worthy Game:
When hunting, the Hunter must be sure that his prey is considered game, and lawful
to kill. Sometimes the hunter will equal the odds (not using the plasma-castor or some other weapon). Worthy
game must fill the following criteria: Can defend itself and/or is able to kill the hunter himself, of age (killing
children is considered the height of bad manners,) not linked to other lives (so that removing the prey will not
doom another, e.g. pregnant women) and unwilling to be hunted (what HONOR in killing one who wants to die?)
2..Failing in the Hunt:
If the Hunter fails in his HUNT he usually takes his own life, preferring to die than to live
in shame. However, some cowards prefer to live in obscurity rather than die. This is considered to be
dishonorable and suicide is then "assisted" by an Arbitrator.
3.Claiming the Kill of Another Hunter:
To take the trophy of another Yautja, living or dead, is considered to be
a great insult. For example, two Unblooded go on their first HUNT. One Yautja takes on a Black Death and
both are mortally wounded. While the wounded hunter is dying, the other hunter conveniently finishes off the
prey and claims the kill as his own, abandoning the wounded Yautja. This is the most embarrassing crime, and
the hardest to prove.
4.Murder of Another Yautja:
To kill another Yautja intentionally. This excludes self defense and killing a foe in
a wrestling match to settle a dispute (see below.) This is the worst crime.
5.Killing while cloaked:
It is very dishonorable for a Hunter to kill prey while he is cloaked. It ignores all laws
of fair and HONORABLE hunting, and giving the prey a fighting chance. A Yautja who is discovered doing
this is usually banished from the Clan, and is considered fair game for other Hunters. The only exception with
this is to "remove" anything standing between the Hunter and his prey,or if the Hunter is attacked by a
creature he is not Hunting.
6.Never harm the innocent:
Those who have done no harm should have no harm done to them.
7.Hunting for Food:
When hunting for food, take only the weak. This is to purify the species' line.
8.Wounded Game:
When coming upon game wounded by another hunter, and the animal is dying without sport, show honor to
another's kill. If the game still shows sport, it is to be joint trophy.
9.Joining Another Hunt:
Do not join another's hunt, or hunt in their territory, without their permission. All trophies taken by this
manner are stolen trophies, and shall be dealt with by the rightful owner.
10.Mercy:
Those who defeat you in a fair hunt and show you Mercy are to be considered our equals. You must either kill
them and yourself, or treat them as an eaqual.
11.Code Violations:
Those who break the Code are renegades, and no longer considered to be a Yautja. They are to be destroyed
when encountered.
