Gangsters, hustlers, drug dealers, murderers and swindlers – the outlaws have no respect for the Shotgun Knights nor their attempts at policing this new, wild world. Outlaws like to carry guns too, and police themselves, and by police themselves, that’s usually meant by shooting anything that doesn’t look like their mom in the head and taking their money. Not all of them are cutthroat robbers and murderers – but most of them are, so much so, that organized groups of gangs are springing up all over, and they naturally mean no good. Some of them are actually just people who want to have a good, safe living, but sadly – they don’t understand that other people want the same thing – minus the hostility. Outlaws build hideouts for themselves, and like to stop caravans and scavengers and relieve them of their goods, and clean water preferably by prying them from their cold dead fingers. They are quick to shoot, and quick on the draw, which makes them a hazard for anyone not prepared to fight them off. The less violent outlaws provide drugs and alcohol – an unnecessary practice in this world that only helps further destroy a hellish atmosphere. The more prestigious groups operate in what modern day would call a mafia – well dressed criminals intent on extorting Meteor City and any other form of civilization out of their money, or their family members will start disappearing. They have no set origin, as of yet, since an Outlaw can pop out of damn near any corner of the earth.
Aliases: Cowboys, Raiders, Thieves, Brigands, Highwaymen, Rogues, Gangsters, Mobsters
Appearance: Outlaws can be found wearing anything – but usually they wear outfits matching their bands or gangs if they belong to one. They do often have on brimmed hats of some sort with shades due to being out in the sun for long periods of time, as well as long trench coats for weapon concealing purposes.
Transportation: Walking about in small mobs, but the majority of them has found a good set of horses to ride.
Usually found: Out and about – messing up the lives of anything they encounter. They like to enter Meteor City on occasion (if they’re not on the most wanted list, that is), enter the bar and have a cold one. Though, they usually can’t enjoy it for too long, since the Shotgun Knights have a tendency of storming in and ruining their fun. They also hole themselves up in hideouts they build and maintain themselves. Some less violent or noticeable outlaws (drug dealers and thieves) live inside of Meteor City itself. Outlaws also need clean water! Expect them to be found raiding water caravans coming from Meteor City, or other small settlements that have it. Clean food and water are hard to come by.
Weapons: Outlaws love pistols like fat kids love cake. Why? It’s much easier to find ammo for a handgun than anything, and they kill just as easily as any other gun. On the other side of things, Outlaws tend to use whatever is available to them.
Gang Ranks: They are created by anyone choosing to make an Outlaw who is the head of their own gang.
