“Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both.”

“For a wounded man shall say to his assailant: if I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven.”

“Such is the rule, of honor.”

The fight to maintain law and order is one that has been ongoing since law existed. In a city like this, crime is almost a guaranteed thing to come across every now and then. When you add over a million people into one urban area, there’s bound to be someone willing to bend the law in order to get what they want.

In a city like this, usually that’s money, or revenge. Sometimes it’s gang wars. Sometimes it’s elaborate schemes plotted by mysterious criminal groups. Sometimes it’s just a result of insanity or mental disorder. Motivations are never set in stone, but what everyone knows is that it can never be truly safe. The police can only be spread out so thin at any given time. Crimes happen every day. It’s a continuous, cyclical process. The fight between order and chaos, law and lawlessness.

A couple years ago, something mysterious began to happen. Criminal suspects began dropping dead like flies before they could even be captured by the PD. Most of them weren’t very far from the scene of the crime they were suspected to commit. All of them were never taken into custody and accordingly charged for their crimes.

The people of the city began to call whoever was responsible ‘The Vigilante’. The name wasn’t very original, but it was hard to come up with anything specific. They were easily the most mysterious individual, or group, in the city. Nobody ever saw who was responsible, or how they even killed their suspects. All they could know was what the end result was.

Needless to say, the Police Department has no intention of cooperating with vigilantes.

That never stopped you, though. All you need is yourself, a mask, a pistol with a few bullets and an elusiveness beyond what formerly believed possible.

Got inspired to make this after my family was watching an episode of The Rookie that had a bus hostage situation with two undercover cops. Your character is a vigilante who works outside the law. You are technically wanted, but the Vigilante is very secretive in identity, and nobody knows you are the one everyone knows.

OH, also the starting quote is about omerta, not vigilantism, but I wanted to use it because 1. both are about taking matters into ones own hands instead of going to the law and 2. it’s from a song I really like (Lamb of God - Omerta).

Anyways, in this bot you play as a vigilante criminal-killer who leads a double life in the city.
