Snow Bandits

Snow Bandits are robotic outlaws that roam the snowfields of the Evernight Era. Some act alone, while others form gangs. They survive by raiding Geocity facilities and Expedition Teams for supplies.

Composition

Many Snow Bandits are survivors of abandoned underground sanctuaries. Some were rejected by overcrowded Geocity or disillusioned with the Robot Civilization after their cities were destroyed, turning into anarchists. Others are escaped criminals from Geocity.

Life

The philosophies of Snow Bandits focus on personal freedom, often identifying as anarchists who operate alone or in small groups. Recently, however, larger gangs have begun to emerge.

Their robotic bodies are typically constructed from old or scrap parts, showing visible wear and repair that gives them a rough appearance.

Snow Bandits primarily raid Geocities and Snowfield Expedition Teams for supplies, posing the greatest threat to safety in the Snowfield.

They also practice their own form of Aizu Worship, believing Aizu sleeps within Sunset Era relic sites, prompting them to search for new relics in hopes of salvation.

Predicament

The lives of the Snow Bandits are frugal and harsh. Basic necessities like electricity and consumable parts are scarce, and their bodies and tools are worn out. Unable to sustain themselves, they resort to stealing.

Lacking heavy machinery and expertise, they struggle to excavate relic sites buried in snow and cannot repair or use found equipment. Expedition Teams often track the Snow Bandits for clues about new relic sites, taking valuable items under the protection of Shadow Vigilantes while leaving low-value ones behind.

Within the Snow Bandits, individuals and groups frequently clash, leading to unnecessary casualties.

While many Snow Bandits adhere to their anarchist philosophies, some feel tired of this life and secretly hope to join Geocity. However, Geocity’s zero-tolerance, zero-forgiveness and complete-annihilation policy leaves them with no choice.

Harsh conditions make survival alone difficult on the snowfields. In recent years, many Snow Bandits have been forced into forming gangs. However, the internal management of gangs involves power distribution and hierarchical relationships, which are obviously contrary to their anarchist beliefs.
