Outlaw

Outlaw is one of the many role-playing subclasses in Elder Tale.

Overview
Outlaw is a peculiar subclass that can be obtained when an Adventurer is “expelled” from their former subclass, for example, Knight, by committing dishonorable actions or making disgraceful choices during quests.

For the skills, players have access to a vast array of taunts and deceiving skills, though not the most performant, but also skills of their previous subclass, though greatly limited and weakened.

Some Outlaw-exclusive quests will give players a nickname and allow them to buy valuable items in the underworld black market. The subclass is also ruled by a hidden status and by the Infamy Points. You can gain Infamy points by completing Outlaw-exclusive quests, and the more points you have, the more notoriety you get, which will unlock more items for the black market, but also increase your reputation as a criminal. At some point, you will have a tag attached to you that can even prevent you from playing normally as you will be denied some dialogues, negotiations, quests, sales and entry in safe towns and villages.

To change subclass, one must reset their points to zero with a subclass-removal quest, which can be quite a hassle if a player unintentionally became an Outlaw due to unlucky decisions.

Because of all its particularities, it is an unpopular subclass only willingly taken by players eager to play a character with a dark background and unafraid of plunging deep in dirty work.

An article of the Theldesia Gazette Vol.17 has more details about this subclass.

Outlaws since the Catastrophe
Since the Catastrophe, the Infamy Points converted to real notoriety and every action taken by an Adventurer in or outside of quests now influences it. As infamy naturally decreases by performing normal “adventuring” acts, the number of Outlaws post-Catastrophe drastically decreased due to a big wave of subclass changes. In fact, it is rare for anyone to keep living in Theldesia as an Outlaw, as they have to suffer the disadvantages of being refused negotiations and transactions by People of the Earth and being restricted from entering towns and villages.

Outlaws in Theldesia
The definition and the treatment of the Outlaw depend on the countries and their cultural background, so it is more or less a subclass with the same name but different essences depending on the server. In Yamato, being an Outlaw means that you broke a law or a rule and got banished from your former occupation or organization as a consequence.

In Earthling society, Outlaws are often people who betrayed the honor or the interests of their group or criminals. Their pasts and backgrounds vary from person to person of course, but all of them can be recognized by the scars they have on their shins. They have to prevent themselves from telling their name or showing their identity in public, lest they are reported as wanted and imprisoned. For such reasons, Outlaws are mainly found in remote and wild areas, unsafe and lawless zones or the underworld.

Known Outlaws

 * Demiqas

Trivia

 * It is unknown if Demikas was an Outlaw before the Catastrophe or if he became one during the event of the first arc. Given that he still had access to the city of Susukino, the latter might be more likely.
