# Abstract
Outlaw's are an midround ghost role antagonist that spawn set to arrest, and spawn in the same way as current stowaways (ie no announcement, in a random locker, etc). They spawn with a generic utility and weapon, alongside backstory item/items.

Their backstory is the reason as to why they're wanted by nanotrasen, this is intended to be both something to work with and to give them their most powerful tool. This can be anything from a briefcase of cash and an egun, a box full of dubious drugs alongside an emagged hypospray, or a self defense ttv. Their objective? Do whatever they can to avoid arrest and more importantly, double down, afterall maybe this will be the station where you see success.

# Goals
1. Be easy to implement, I want this project to get done
2. Don't overshadow a round, intent is to cause background chaos instead of killing an entire department
3. Be antagonistic, meant to be something security engages with instead of ignores
4. Enable people to explore interesting gear combinations they otherwise wouldn't play with.

# Non-Goals
1. Be a way for people to play a regular character again
2. Ignored by security when there's no greater threat present
3. Have people treat every outlaw round the same.

# Content
The antag objectives are as followed.
1. You are wanted due to (backstory). Do what you can to avoid arrest.
2. (motivation)

(backstory) and (motivation) are text which depend on what backstory you have. Listed below, intent with them is to provide players something to build off of however not railroad them too heavily.

Upon spawning you always have something covering your face, random clothes and backpack in the same way as stowaways with no ID (can be overriden by backstories), and the afformentioned items. You will additionally always be random named and random appearenced. The utility, weapon, and backstory items are listed below.

Suggestions for these would be very appreciated.

## Alternatives
- Non antagonist ghost role for stowaways, could be complimentary to outlaws. Having non antagonist and antagonist stowaway ghost roles could lead to confusion however.
- No dedicated backstories, just pull items randomly from a list. Would widen roleplay but gives far less of a backbone for it.

## Potiental Changes

- Remove the weapon items due to redundancy with backstory items. Would dislike as it means backstories may have to pick up the weight.
- Role two utility items to buff.
- Make the strength and violence of kit of an outlaw more consistent. It is intentional that the strength of backstories aren't even in order to promote variety, however this could lead to frustration with those who role it.
- Make it role roundstart in mixed
