The Echo Hunters

The Echo Hunters are professional adversary-slayers who specialize in confronting and neutralizing Echo Adversaries: entities formed from unstable resonance, memory bleed, or fractured narrative pressure.

Most Echo Hunters are survivors of resonance catastrophes who chose to fight what nearly destroyed them. There is no central order, creed, or unified command. Contracts, reputation, and personal limits define each band. Some hunters view Echoes as abominations to be destroyed; others treat them as phenomena to be studied just long enough to survive the encounter.

They are respected for their effectiveness, feared for the devastation that often follows their work, and quietly avoided once a contract is complete.
