Looters

Background:
Nobody could have predicted such a disaster as the outbreak of The Pathogen. Many people panicked because they were unprepared for such an event and resorted to stealing supplies and other things to survive. There were even some opportunists who took the outbreak as a chance to make a dishonest profit from other people's valuables. Looters are the surviving citizens of the city of ______ that scavenge for supplies in stores, houses, and other buildings to survive. Looters are differentiated from scavenger survivors due to the fact that they are most often times hostile and will display aggression to the player character when detecting them. However, looters will often-times give the player character a few warnings to leave the area before hesitantly attacking them. Scavengers, while mostly neutral upon encounter, can also become hostile too, albeit less often then looters. Bandits and raiders, on the other hand, will almost always immediately attack the player when they notice them and will take goods by force and violence, rather than the nervously hesitant looters and neutral scavengers.

Appearance:
The appearance of looters varies heavily as looters are not an organized group, but more like a loose collection of panicked and semi-hostile individuals, who may be in small teams. Most looters appear to be wearing basic clothing and rarely improvised armor, but almost always have their faces concealed by some sort of mask (perhaps on the suspicion that the authorities might still be operating). Many commonly wear jeans or dark colored pants, as well as dark hoodies and jackets. For footwear they wear any number of tennis shoes, running shoes, or sneakers. Some will wear improvised armor such as work gloves, motorcycle jackets, or soccer shin-guards. Some looters will wear hoods upon their head, but if not they may commonly wear balaclavas, bandanas, scarves, and other masks or headgear. There will be some that will be found wearing surgical facemasks or medical respirators to protect against disease and infection. A number of looters will also wear eye protection like sunglasses and sometimes goggles. Other than their obviously concealed demeanor, looters may very much appear to be regular survivors, and will only be differentiated by their criminal and hostile activity.
