Banditos (5e Race)

## **Banditos**

"RHAÄVE'SHO!"

-A large bandit getting angry at passer-byers.

### Physical Description

Banditos appear like humans covered in many bandages. The only opening in their bandages is their face, where their one eye is visible. It is unknown if Banditos have two eyes, as the bandages are almost bound to the skin. Banditos have been recorded changing their eye-color at will.

### History

Bandito's history is a mystery. According to some, they were born from 'barrels of green' and cast into a 'circle of epic proportions'. These myths are thought to be rambling and pipe-dreams.

### Society

Banditos society is very tribal-like, apart from some key differences.

Many banditos serve a 'leader', usually always being the biggest in the tribe. They are called the 'big bandit'.

There are many different tribes and types of banditos, living all around the world, but still being secluded in the harsh areas. They are usually able to be distinguished from what tribe they are in by what uniform and scarf color they have, and sometimes their eye-color.

### Relationships

Banditos are usually neutral to other races at first when meeting them for the first time. Banditos, if offered gifts or left alone and shown no sign of aggression, usually grow closer to other races, sometimes for the sake of survival, others for morale, and sometimes to grow.

### Bandito names

Bandito names usually consist of only their role or job, or reputation.

Some examples are: 'Big bandit' 'Rebel' 'Skullcutter' 'Grunt' 'Cook'
