[@Pyromania99] I mean, we're all fugitives if you really think about it. All of us are hackers of some sort, yeha? Hacking, by the very definition, is a big no-no in the eyes of the law. :lol In that, we're all fugitives. My idea is just my character just has a record of some sort. I'm saying he committed capital murder, just probably angered the wrong corrupt official that [i]might've[/i] led to some bribes of a specific judicial system of an already-corrupt country. *whistles innocently*

Shiyo beat me on this.

For example (since this is what it's based on) you play in a hacker group in the sequel and you actually assist the police on multiple occasions.  Your not illegal people (not hacking into peoples accounts and what not) would probably be more analogous to modding communities tbh.  Now, Jormungundr will possibly be doing illegal activities but the leader would still rather not take in someone that is already a liability. (Based on the source)
