This is a topic I somewhat started in another forum, but felt like it needed its own. So despite hundreds of students trying to become Hunters, we the viewer don't really have a good idea of what a Hunter actually does.

From what we got from Glynda's speech early on, Hunters basically are supposed to protect the peace. Ruby also mentions that she wants to make a carrier out of being a Hunter so it is actually a job, but this raises some questions:


 * 1) Who pays the Hunters to perform their tasks and what kind of pay scale do they work on?
 * 2) Glynda seems to take Ruby to a type of jail, but do Hunters work with police or do they have their own holding facility?
 * 3) How do Police and Hunters decide on who moves in? I mean when the White Fang tried to steal all that Dust, Police showed up but not a single Hunter. Meanwhile when Roman robbed a single Dust shop, no police but a Hunter shows up.
 * 4) The primary threat to humans/faunus for the most part are the Grimm, so why haven't the Hunters just gone out and killed them all. They seem more then capable.
 * 5) Lastly in the event of a war, what sort of rank do Hunters have? Are they still considered civilians and each nation has an official army or do Hunters have a set rank depending on their skill level and are already considered soldiers?

Exactly what is a Hunters job description?
