Now, I'm not even taking "no" as a real answer, because EVERYONE has a price. And I mean EVERYONE.
So under what circumstances would YOU become a Mercenary, I'm talking a War Mercenary, or maybe even Special Operations.
I'm guessing I'd become one if I got really good payment, and ease of going back to my "home" (wherever I live) whenever I didn't have an assignment.
How about you?
EVERYONE is not a murderer. So I'm afraid you'll have to take no as a real answer.
I honestly believe that everyone is a murderer at heart. After centuries of relative peace we have grown more tame, some more than others; But I believe that when it comes down to it, every single man and woman is capable of murder, be it in self defense or otherwise. And I do think that once the first kill is drawn, none of the consecutive ones will as hard. And many people do acquire a taste for killing. But I digress, still, if you were a Merc fighting say, Zombies. Wouldn't you do it?
Let me answer for you: Fuck Yeah.
Why? Because you are avoiding killing because of moral qualms, but oh! Zombies are not alive, they're merely a shell of what used to be a man, a woman, a lover. I'd like to take this chance to link to this:

Since I feel it fits quite well. At least down on a primal level, I'm pretty sure everyone is capable of murder. Perhaps even you would do it if you found your life at risk? After all, we do have a pretty strong self-preservation sense. WE are not a flock of sheep that would wait to be slaughtered. WE would fight to our last spit breath before dying in complacency. So yes, I think even WE would fight to protect our lives, even if it meant being a mercenary.
