Bandits are people who chose to live outside of the law, for one reason or another. Stealing, robbing, and killing people for their own personal gain is their daily life, and they rarely shy away from any means necessary if it guarantees success.
They are known to make camps in the wild, away from prying eyes, which often acts as a launching point for all their operations. On the other hand, some tend to lead a more nomadic life, traveling the same roads as their future potential victims.
While riches are what drive any Bandit into action, many also seek glory as well. Their deeds, such as they are, increase their notoriety, and their names become feared, names like Eyepatch Erin, Scars Dickinson, and Jo Fastfingers.

What once started as a small group is now a highly coordinated organization where most, if not all, members are disinherited nobles, wrongfully accused outlaws, and prisoners who never deserved the punishment.

Bandits, or outlaws as many refer to such people, live on the other side of the law where they mostly take what they want. Thieving, robbing, and even killing come naturally to most of them, and when they form into groups they can be a deadly threat to even the most trained soldiers. They prey on the weak and innocent, and don’t shy away from any means possible to get what they think they deserve. Think about how the character was raised and where, how was their upbringing, how did they become an outlaw, what are their plans, and create a name worthy of this Bandit’s uncertain future.
