Headhunter

Headhunter is one of the three main protagonists in **A Legend from the Planet**.

## Biography

Headhunter's an alien in his early-20s who lives in the Country prior to A Legend from the Planet. His namesake job is being a headhunter, looking for particular people to take up a job for some business.

He lived with sister and bird companion, all until a tragic accident resulted in the bird leaving nothing but a single blue feather. His sister tries to cheer him up when she's not busy working, but he's still deeply saddened by it. He keeps the feather as a memento in his fedora.

When he takes up a job that requires him to visit the City, he embarks on an adventure that may just be the final nail in the coffin for convincing him that the world is a strange and confusing place than he once thought.

## Appearance

Headhunter, like all aliens, has a green eye and a dark green pupil. He wears a beige fedora with a green ribbon around it, including a blue feather from his departed companion. Shortly after meeting Kidder in Chapter 1, he gets his foot injured by a speeding nail, but is all quickly patched up by the Old Man in Chapter 2.

## Personality

Headhunter is typically reserved and refrains from talking to anyone unless he knows them. He's what many others consider "unbearably average", as he doesn't have any noteworthy traits besides being skilled in riding his unicycle, which has been destroyed. His only merit is that while hesitant, he's extremely supportive of friends and is willing to do anything sensible for them. He has his limits, of course, and those limits aren't very high, but rest assured, he can get the job done.

## Relationships

### Enigma

As of now, they've only just met, but Headhunter enjoys her company and guidance. He's still a little put off by the sudden discovery of another sub-species of alien, but time will only tell, he supposes.

### Unnamed Sister

Mentioned in only a tweet, his sister lives with him in the Country, working a job with steady income. Her name and profession is yet to be revealed.

### Bird

As mentioned previously, he was best friends with a bird for the majority of his life. They would go on headhunting adventures together, having all kinds of ups and downs. He was extremely depressed for a brief time after the departure of his friend, but carries on with his friend's feather so that he still has something to remember him by.

## Non-Canon Appearances

### Friday Night Funkin' (Mod)

He appears in Fiend's Peak alongside other ALFTP characters, holding Soldier and Bella at "hammerpoint". This is all until a strange hostile creature knocks Climber and Lyrist unconscious while Bella flees. Soldier and Alastor help him take them out. He replaces Tankman in this mod.

### Year 2: A Slideshow

He appears in a framed photo in Bill and Gary's room, suggesting they might know him.

### Pokémon: Alien

He's a playable alien with three evolutions and a shiny form which uses an older design's colors.

#### The Cadet

*Normal/Flying - "A rough and tough little alien assisted by his trusty bird companion. He's a little dense, but still has a lot to learn."*

#### The Headhunter

*Normal - "A little older means a little wiser, right? Uh, maybe. He's picked up a few skills here and there. His companion is no longer with us, unfortunately. He does have a dinky hammer, though!"*

#### Legendary Headhunter

*Fighting/Psychic - He's back and willing to put up a fight after being pushed around a lot! Look out, world! Here comes the incompetent with a sweet, magic hammer!*

## Trivia

* His design, both current and old, were inspired by 60s-80s Hanna Barbara cartoons, like Pac-Man and Top Cat.
