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 (2 minutes minimum) without performing illegal actions you will return to the status of an Innocent.

Restrictions

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

Cannot call the guards to your defense.
Cannot recall, gate, or sacred journey.
Cannot give Murder Counts to those who attack you.
Anyone may legally loot your corpse.
There is no Karma or status penalty for harming/killing/robbing a criminal.

Many of these penalties are redundant unless your character is in Felucca, as you may only rob/harm other characters there.

-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.
