Vigilantes are parahumans who are neither heroes nor villains; and unlike rogues they are very much combatants.
They tend to eschew Unwritten Rules with all of the consequences.<ref>“That’s attrition and I wouldn’t be much healthier if I was one hundred percent sharp. I’ve been at the cape thing for long enough I have okay instincts.”
“What about other people getting hurt?”
“I… don’t have as many years of experience at holding back.”
“Ah. Ex-vigilante?”
Vigilantes were the cape-scene term for the heroes who eschewed the game in favor of putting enemies down for the long term, if not permanently. Break too many of the unwritten rules, break the actual laws, and life got harder. - Excerpt from Dying 15.6</ref>
