here God Complexes are higher forms of Narcissism

"Narcissistic personality disorder is more prevalent in males than females, and is thought to occur in up to 6.2 percent of the general population.

Like most personality disorders, narcissistic personality disorder typically will decrease in intensity with age, with many people experiencing few of the most extreme symptoms by the time they are in the 40s or 50s."

More commonly referred to as a “God Complex,” Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is characterized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as “a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy.”

I know what God Complex is... -.- I meant a study that showed men were more likely to kill people in the name of a divine power, since that's the study your character spoke about. This article only says it's statistically more dominant in men but doesn't really say anything about men with God Complex being more likely to kill someone because of that, as far as I can see.

To clarify, I never said "Kill" and no there is no actually study I know of. My character is the type to push people and see what they are made of.

I apologize for the confusion.

Falconi said Studies show that people who are most likely to voice wanting to "cast divine judgement" are male.


Well... Divine judgement is basically killing in the name of a divine power, right? Sorry if I misunderstood that.

People with God-Complex aren't always obsessed with passing divine judgement, rather having the power to do something that would be like passing judgement and punishing people. They don't have to want to do it.

This is true. I will be sure to clarify next time.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Just because she's L doesn't mean that she's L.But if she was, she'd have solved the first Kira case as an infant. I imagine she's just bouncing up and down in a stroller, and Soichiro brings by a bunch of mug shots and asks "Is this the guy?" until she spits up on Light's picture.


Utterly hilarious.

Y'all can go do things with your new groups until the next meeting. Private ideas for catching Kira can be discussed in pms, if you have any. If you're going to act any of them out in the IC, go ahead. Just don't explain any of your tricks so Kira has to figure it out him/herself :)

Well I'm giving everyone a week and a half to respond, which would bring most people to their two week maximum for posting anyway. It's not like I'm giving a ten minute warning lol This is more of an attendance check.
