Locke Lamora's not evil? So stealing's right? 
But I understand what you're saying. My morals are more black and white, which is why I hate the favored term 'morally ambigous.'
Evil is a big word to use! This could be a really interesting discussion to have in the main board, actually. 
Can a character be as "morally ambiguous" as Locke Lamora - would they survive as a loveable rogue in the real world, or would they be scorned as a villain?
Its a good point, when does a character tip from being Robin Hood to being Al Capone? Interestingly I watched a program about the Great Train Robbery last night. In it, it was said how the gang were seen by many to be heroes of sorts, comparing them with Robin Hood and his gang. But dig below the surface and most of the train robbers were lifelong criminals, some pretty brutal criminals at that, plus the robbery itself was no soft robbery with the guards given a good beating - resulting in one dying soon after, not because of his injuries but they could have been a contributing factor.
They actually used that angle quite nicely in Public Enemies. Criminals such as Baby-Face Nelson were applauded by the common people at one point, even though he was reputed to have killed the most F.B.I. agents in history. John Dillinger, in particular though, specifically catered to the people's admiration.
I like the Outlaws idea too-- and from you guys it sounds like we'd get a huge range of conceptions of what it means to be an outlaw. Like Arry said it's general enough to get a wide range and its a rich topic that, whether your outlaw is evil, good or neither, is deliciously taboo.
