Bandits are a type of organized criminals.
Overview[]
Bandits are essentially petty criminals and outlaws, robbing and pillaging anything of value, overall causing trouble to normal civilians. Bandits regularly form groups of large numbers with a clear leader at the top of the hierarchy. These groups also have an HQ or a base, usually within an abandoned location such as ruins near a town.[1][2]
Bandits are often the target of Guild Mages who’ve been given a mission by a local client to subjugate and get rid of said criminals and take them to the proper authorities.[1][2]
Likewise, Bandits also form Guilds of their own to take on request missions, typically for the purposes of theft and kidnapping.[3] Despite being crooks, Bandits do have some degree of loyalty, often refusing to divulge the location of one of their members and keeping the identity of their clients a secret. Some may even willingly save their enemies, simply to have them be in debt to them next they meet.[2]
Abilities[]
The majority of Bandits don’t seem to possess any form of Magic, instead relying on normal weapons and equipment such as swords, firearms etc. The minority that do possess some form of Magic tend to focus on types conducive to gaining sudden advantages such as escaping apprehension or avoiding detection.[4][2]
