Criminals (or grays) are characters who have recently broken the law. They may be freely attacked in guard zones, and their corpses looted by all.

Becoming a Criminal

Blue characters who break the law (regardless of whether they are in a Guard Zone at the time) change in status to gray. Such illegal activities include:

Stealing from a NPC or player (assuming you're caught!).
Healing or otherwise buffing a gray or red character.
Attacking and/or killing another blue character.
Looting a corpse you do not have the rights to.
Casting the Polymorph spell.

After a few of minutes without performing illegal actions you will return to the status of an Innocent.

Restrictions

As a criminal, you are penalised in similar ways as a Murderer.

Cannot call the guards to your defense.
Cannot give Murder Counts to those who attack you.
Anyone may legally loot your corpse.
There is no Karma penalty for killing a criminal.

-Citizens of Britannia can defend themselves from criminals. Criminal actions include thievery and assault against a blue PC or NPC (including hirelings and pets of blue PCs). Looting a dead body is also considered a criminal action, unless the body belonged to a criminal, murderer or member of an enemy guild.
-If you are flagged as a criminal, you highlight gray. Any town guard will kill you on sight, and blue characters can attack you without penalty to Karma. If you loot a body, or launch a non-lethal attack on an innocent, your criminal flag lasts only a few minutes. It would be best to stay out of sight during this time if you do not with to be attacked.
