THE RAIDERS OF THE RED
THE RAIDERS OF THE RED is a gang of outlaws housed in The Red Desert, within a territory they have dubbed Buzzard's Peak.Buzzard's Peak is what they call the mesa they live atop, however the group uses the name liberally. Generally speaking, the name Buzzard's Peak refers to both their mesa, and the nearby canyons. It encompasses their entire territory.
INFORMATION
The Raiders of the Red is, in simple words, a gang of criminals. Though their individual crimes may vary, one thing is certain: none of them want to go to jail or be executed, but none of them are exactly welcome in the kingdom. So, to ensure that they all have a home at all, they live together in the Red Desert.
The Raiders of the Red are usually seen wearing bandanas or scarves with the following coat of arms on them.The gang's horses also wear blankets with the coat of arms on them.
RULES {OOC}
Firstly, horses: These guys have horses for transportation purposes, as their raids are usually pretty far from the desert. Generally, they use horse-drawn carriages to get around. The amount of horses pulling a given carriage will vary depending on character weight.Smaller animals like foxes may only need one horse for their carriage, while a larger creature like a jaguar might need four.
REQUIREMENTS
Things labeled with a ⋆ are considered optional.
Preferred characters
⋆ Criminals and wanted folk.
⋆ Characters originally from Honeyreach & Wolf's Bluff.
Apparel
A coat, scarf or a bandana with the coat of arms on it.
⋆ Cowboy hats.
Your character does not need to be a wanted criminal to join, but the group will be mostly wanted criminals. So while it's not required, it's greatly encouraged.
Individual crimes will vary between characters. The important thing is that the kingdom either recognizes them as a criminal, or your character just is not welcome anywhere else.
