Derangements: He takes his point of View to the extreme, believing everyone should follow his Code. His longtimegoal is to achive just that, a world where everyone follows his rules ( but not necessarily a world under his rule)
His rules: first thoughts( so not finished, will be refined over the next days) ( the rules as they are after his decision to be a villain, and obviously after getting his powers)
1) Think for yourself
don't just adopt existing toughts or plans, at the very last go through the plans yourself and see if there are any loopholes. Don't get trapped in the snares of laziness, its better to overthink something then to stop thinking.
2) See for yourself if anything is in question
practically just the extension of rule1, do it yourself, if your are unsure someone whether else is up to the task. Do not trust informations you cannot verify yourself.
3) Do not employ the questionable, but do not question the employed
better safe then sorry. If someone is not willing to let you test him, he is likely to have some trap for you.
4) be patient
like a snake in the desert, wait for your prey to come to you, lay your traps, and don't be hasty to set them lose, or else you might go without food for a while...
5) be calm
6) if you cannot remain calm, at least appear to be calm
7)do not hurt the innocent
there is no point in making the world hate and hunt you, unless it serves the purpose of making them follow your rules.
8) do not let anything distract you while on a job
9) be polite
to not make enemies wherever you go.
10) do not kill lightly, do not spare someone lightly
if only to prevent any revenge driven attacks on you. But do not spare someone if there is a chance he would come back later to get his revenge.

Pitfall
Secret ID: Jim Friedrichs
Background: Age 17, Born 1.st of September Father is an known german engineer, his mother a housewife, they moved to America after his father got hired there by one of the greater companies before he was born, and continued moving from here to there all across America as his fathers job requiered, untill they finally settled down where they are today after him beeing born, and his father getting an more stable Job within the company. He has an older sister, Sarah, who moved out three years ago, but does not have any contact with her any more(they never quite loved one another for she is 7 years older).
Jim is pretty stubborn, once he sets his mind to something, its hard to let him sway from his chosen path. Or his opinion for that matter. Which is simultaneosly a curse, and a blessing, because he tends to look at everything for himself, never getting along with what others want him to, unless his own point of view agrees with it. This trait of his let many believe hes an rebel, but thats not the fact. He does not disagree with someone to disagree, but rather because he honestly believes his own point of view to be the better solution, even if its fairly often that it happens, and hes not always able to voice out what exactly sets him off. On Top of that, and very annoying to every single one of his Teachers, he seams to be always calm, no matter the circumstances. Its not like he feels nothing, but rather an variation of his stubbornness, because he got it into his mind, that "true man" never show their emotions, never lose their calm.
Trigger: Jim looked out of the window onto the empty, deserted schoolyard. God is this boring. All that time i could use... playing CoD... writing the plott for our next DnD round... playing football... heck, i could be doing those math exercise and nearly be done by now... but no, instead of that i'm sitting here and forced to listen to that old ugly hag babbling about Je... Jim's phone vibrated. a quick check showed him one new message, from Lisa. Will be late, but dont worry usual place usual time. dont run off. xxx She will be late, hu? getting the stuff, or... he cut that train of thought. did not help at all to think about it, and for his imidiate future he had no way of stopping her. And so, he sit the remaining 35 minutes of Religious education class out, waited for the clock to show 13:00 . He was one of the first to exit the class, when the bell finally rung. Headed for the old abandoned factory in the slums, took a detour, then another. the area was familiar to him, from countless walks with Lisa, countless detours on the way to the old factory.when he finally reached the building, he ignored it at first, checked, double-checked, tripplechecked he was not followed. then he headed for the hidden entrance at the back of the building, situated in a very dark, deserted alley. Found the camouflaged Stairway down into the basement of the building. And then it grew before him, like it did so many times before. Lisa's space. HIS space in a way. It was a Room far greater then it should have been, the walls plastered with photos, logos, and merchandise of various rock-bands on one side, maps, tables, and calculations he did not understand on the others. Or maybe he could understand what those calculations meant, if he had to, but Lisa told him not to try, so he refrained from trying. The room itself was messy. Not filthy, except for the almost inevitable Pizza boxes, but untidy. The four couches had pillows and blankets spread over them, on the table were dishes, paperwork, and he could even make out some of the cards he'd been using for his last DnD round. He sighed. Of course, how could he hope for THEM to be tidy? But that didn't matter, not today, and as far as he was concerned not in the next time. Lost in thought, he let his gaze around the walls, the pictures. Most of them, ALL of them he knew at last by name, lisa made him learn them. He even know most of the generell genres to which they belong. Deathmetal, Powermetal, Punk, Pop, Rock, the pictures, and thus the music was nowwhere near organized, just like the rest of the room. he snapped back to reality, crossed the room, and opened a Door hidden beneath an life-size picture of Attila Dorn, Front singer of Powerwolf. One of Lisa's favorites. behind it, there was Lisa's room, or the way he called it since a while ago, the lovenest.
"Hey honey" a soft, warm female voice. He blinked. Must have fallen asleep. Damn. wanted to take a shower before... "Hey! wake up lazybones." " yeah yeah I'm on it, wait a sec..." he stood up, stretched himself, and got himself hugged even before he had time to say or do anything else. " i missed you" she mumbled. "missed you too."he answered almost automatically, still a little groggy. then he found to himself. " how war your work? did you get hurt? busted?" he asked, still returning the hug " nope, not even near. we decided to play it low for a while, you know? " what happened" ? he sounded concerned, or at least he hoped for her to be able to tell the small difference in his voice to be concern. she should be, with her enhanced perception, really. she didn't notice, or at least she showed no sign, instead she started chattering about the same stuff they went through what felt like a hundred times.
She beeing on board of one of the more professional teams, they being thiefs, not fighters, they doing only low profile crimes... he had heard it all, and yet he couldn't bring himself to accept her to be in danger. He let her talk on for a while, instead of trying to convince her, and possibly starting an argument. There was something good to say about staying silent, namely she doing the talking, and giving him an overview over the last week. He barely listened. His attention was focused on her, no doubt, but... not on what she said. he leaned down to her, and gave her a long tender kiss to shut her up. He surprised her a bit, she tensed shortly, then relaxed, kissed back. They enjoyed each other a bit, but as Jim tried to move her closer to her bed, she broke the kiss, stepped away, heavily breathing. There was a distinct glamor in her eyes, her lips still partly open, and yet she said " as much as I'd like to got to that bad with you... you didn't forget your promise, right?" how could i, when I'm about to break my rules for the first time in the 5 years since i established them? the thought crossed his mind, even before he could stop it. he could feel anger rise, yes, he realized he was angry. angry with himself, for not beeing strong enough to say no to his girlfriend, angry with her, for not seeing how important those rules were to him. He sighted " no, of course not. Are you sure the stuff is all right?" No damn point in struggling, and besides maybe, maybe it wasn't as bad as he imagined it to be. maybe he wouldn't be addicted with the first shot. Maybe...- "Yeah. shit's more then a month's work worth,not to mention the guy i bought it from owed me one. Now lets get going, I'm thrilled to try this stuff out!" They went to the kitchen, preparing the "stuff". Lit it, took a deep breath each, even before going back into Lisa's room. They had barely time to fall onto her bed together before the stuff kicked in. Whatever it was, it wasn't bad, and it wasn't as bad as he'd imaged. Part of it was, of course, Lisa lying right next to him, but that wasn't all. Despite all the teaching of his Partens, the teachers, even most of his friends, he came to the conclusion that drugs weren't that bad. the high was good, beeing with lisa was even better, not to mention getting away from all those stupid jerks in school and at home. He relaxed, chilled out and felt good. The drug seemed to have a soothing, but distracting effect on him. And that was when things got bad.
the first Hit was rather weak, he hadn't noticed, if not for the light cloud of dust that suddenly descended on the two of them. The second was worse. Small stones broke from the ceiling, and rained down on them. The third was even worse. The ceiling collapsed, right on them, burying them beneath it. He suspected it was only due to Lisa's fast reaction that both of them were still alive.The wide bed once skyblue was now smashed into two pieces by an especially tall piece of ceiling. A quick glance around the room showed a lot of destruction: the door wilted under the pressure, and was half-blocked beneath one major part of the ceiling, behind it he could see a lot of earth, stones, and concrete piled there, effectively blocking the only exit.Something hit his head, hart enough to hurt, but not hart enough to inflict a serious injury. he looked, and found a smaller part of the already collapsed ceiling has fallen onto his head. Thats not a vision. he realized. I'm buried alive here...
