Civilian

A civilian is an inhabitants of the City that does not belong to any of the military factions.

In the Comic
There are still inhabitants in the ruins of the City, though they are now outnumbered by the armies in it and are not commonly encountered. There are few ways to make a livelihood, causing the remaining civilians to turn to stealing, trading, and (in the most desperate of cases) "art" in order to survive.

The first appearance of a civillian is Issue #22 when group of three are shown to have some horrific disfigurements and a rather eccentric sense of humor, posing as the titular "Zombies".

In Issue #48, a civilian wearing a Red Army uniform (that he scavenged from a dead Red soldier) approaches Pyro's Squad, claiming that he used to live there but has gotten lonely and wants to join the Reds. They initially reject him, citing his lack training, but decided to take him after one of their own soldiers blows himself trying to open a landmine by bashing it on a rock.

In Issue #50, Pyro's Squad encounters a hanging sculpture made of bones inside a building. After speculating what kind of cult made it, they meet its creator, Steve. The civilian claims the sculpture has no meaning or purpose and that he made it out of boredom. He himself is wearing what looks like priest robes, fingerless gloves, and a skull mask. And he reveals the bones are human.

In Issue #54, two civilians watching a battle between the Red, Blue, and Yellow Armies, placing bets on who will win. One of the civilians bets on the Yellows since "they always win". The Pyro joins them, and also bets on the Yellows.

In Issue #59, a civilian "traveling salesman" offers his wares to the Pyro and Sniper. He claims to be selling everything from food to trinkets, and that there are still "a few" civilians in the city.

In Issue #66, S&P find a man whose Blue Army type gas mask wasn't enough to fully protect him from the toxic sewer gasses. Having been driven mad he spends his time looking for gold to have gold (similar to fighting the war to win). Despite wanting to make them into scarecrows he helps S&P to escape the undercity warning that the waterway contains a "Lydric" which supposedly ate one of his legs before telling them that the elevator up works despite going through the ghoul spider lair.

About the civilians
All of the civilians seen so far speak the same language as the Reds and Blues. It is not known if they were all inhabitants of the city before its destruction.

Most civilians, like the soldiers, wear clothing that covers their whole body, and have helmets and respirators/gas masks. They generally appear neutral to the conflict, except in the cases where they decide to join up with an army out of necessity/boredom.
