Wow, after 5 long years, Bandit resurfaces to my desk once again with an explosive entrance! Originally one of the close companions to Matt, Bandit went by the nickname of "Ranger" to pay tribute to his father's name.

Name: Bandit Merlot
Age: 19
Gender: ♂
Bio: Bandit and his family grew up as scavengers, living off of scraps and what little food they could find. His over-protective mother valued her son more than life itself, and kept him close at bay at all times. Bandit modeled after his father, who tried to maintain a sense of justice in an otherwise corrupt territory. After he was kidnapped at the age of 8, Bandit managed to escape out into the wilderness, where he grew up with skills learned from his parents.
Bandit is very approachable, understanding, and a bit goofy at times. Sometimes a lil' clueless, but he makes up for it with his resourcefulness. (As I created him back during Generation II, he acquired the Move, Fire Punch, which has become his signature move.) He knows how to cook, thanks to the power of his Fire Punch, and is also a good recreational fighter with the bo-staff he made out of yew.
