In order of importance:
1. High Treason
2. Regular Treason
3. Murder of Enforcement Officers
4. Piracy
5. Murder
6. Attempted Murder
7. Assault
To be fair, Yvian lives in an alien future dystopia. Her crimes have been committed exclusively against an evil regime and a number of very bad people. Oh, and the Captain, I guess, but that was a misunderstanding.

1. Public Urination
2. Assaulting a guard on duty (Missing the bard with that fruit does not count as an excuse)
during the story:
3. Murder (depending on what laws apply)
4. Theft
5. Breaking and entering
Actually, could've been far more and will be more in subsequent books.

I use my finished story for this one.
Genocide
Murder
Kidnapping
Theft
Breaking and entering
Trespassing
Theft of government materials
Use of chemical weapons on civilians
Destruction of property
Use of WMD's
I'm sure he did other things that I'm forgetting about, not a nice man unless you were his friend or ally.

I don't usually participate in these threads, but this sounds like fun and a good way to promote my story so here I go:
1. high treason (one count)
2. murder (three counts)
3. attempted murder (two counts)
4. obstruction of justice (two counts)
5. conspiracy (many counts)
6. witchcraft (at least one count)
7. devil-worship (at least one count)
8. impersonating a public official (two counts)
9. identity theft (two counts)
10. cross-dressing (at least one count)
11. defaming the monarch/royal family
If you are wondering, my story is set in a pre-industrial fantasy world.

So, if you don't mind me asking, which one of you guys have characters that are actually guilty of the crimes they could be charged with?

You all probably forgot multiple instances of animal abuse (those poor monsters just want to live too!), tax fraud (how many MCs pay their taxes again?), carrying deadly weapons openly, and probably a lot of obscure laws no one would ever think about. Like wearing a duck on you head...
