Description
The "iconic" Vigilante from Realms of Strife -> realmofstrife.com/characters/c…
The Vigilante is an ordinary citizen that has grown tired of the constant suffering and injustice of the world around them. Too often are the weak and the poor tread upon by the strong and affluent, all while law and order turn a blind eye. For the Vigilante, this causes great internal outrage and eventually they see themselves as having no choice but to take matters into their own hands. Soon they are raising arms to defend those that cannot defend themselves or seeking justice when supposedly honorable men and women fail to uphold their own principles.
Fury burns within the Vigilante, who feel honor bound to become the hand of justice. But it is a justice of their own design, forged in the chaos of the streets and filth of the gutters, where every wrong must be repaid in kind. This inevitably puts them at odds with the established laws of the land, but by the time this occurs the Vigilante is likely to already see themselves as above the law.
Some will call them brigand; some will call them hero. Among the common folk, as word of their deeds reaches far and wide, they may even become a champion of the people. This is a dangerous thing for those wishing to establish law and order, or for those that would oppress the weak, for a champion of the people has the protection of those people and can appear untouchable by lawmakers and enforcers. Guided by their own moral compass and sense of honor, a Vigilante is prone to falling prey to their own personal vices, for they typically walk a lonely path through life. For those truly above reproach, it may instead be a well paid assassin’s blade that is their undoing. But regardless of the truth of their life or death, the lasting legacy of any noteworthy Vigilante is for your name to be celebrated among the people and your legend taught to children for generations to come.
