A rogue character who doesn't obey the law, bandits are known to steal from people for their own selfish gain.
Bats, hammers, wrenches, maces, staves, or even brass knuckles. These are weapons intended for blunt trauma rather than cutting or slicing.
Body armor in games acts as additional protection. In most cases, when a player takes damage that would completely affect their health, their body armor reduces the damage taken or takes the damage instead.

A gang isn't just two crude dudes, it's a whole mess of them. There's all kinds of different gangs represented in games: street gangs, organized criminals, and even high school cliques.
A large breed of dog that originated in Germany. Because of their strength, intelligence and abilities in obedience training they are often employed in police and military roles, as well as being popular pets.
The Global Defense Force (abbreviated as GDF) is a peace-keeping organization and enforcing entity of martial law in Bombshell. They are directly inspired by the Earth Defense Force (EDF) from the Duke Nukem series.
The police force of Gotham City. Because they are often corrupt, they frequently clash with Batman, though sometimes they are legitimate and act as (reluctant) allies to him.
Guards guard stuff, block doors, and sometimes arrest you.
Successors to the Clone Trooper Coruscant Guard (also known as "Shocktroopers"), these red armored soldiers enforce the Empire's brutal order on Coruscant.
