Attack on Titan: Corruption and Oppression

Once everyone had gone to their places, Zachary walked up to the stand and coughed loudly, trying to get the attention of the recruits. When that proved unsuccessful, he tried a different method.
"ATTENTION!" he roared, waking every sleeping child within Wall Maria. Silence fell once more. "Listen up, maggots! I, Zachary Smith, am here to welcome you to my slice of hell. It's my job to make sure you little weaklings are able to become big boys and girls once you're done here. While only ten of you will amount to anything, I'll be sure to make the next three years will be the worst time of your life." He paused and let the idea sink in. "Those of you who do not make the top ten, of course, will be forced to join the Garrison and perhaps be lucky enough to be stationed at Sina and maybe some of you will join the lowly Scouting Legion. Ugh..." He shuddered at the thought of those scum. The self righteous suicidal branch. He looked over at the group once more. "Tomorrow, you will be tested so that we can see if you're suitable to use the Three Dimensional Manoeuvre Gear. Those of you who prove to be unfit will be sent home. Those who want a second chance will be given one but only one."

He sneered at the ex-Scouting Legion members who were assigned to the Training Corps to teach the use of 3DMG. "Those are your baby-sitters. They'll show you maggots around this dirt hole."

He stepped down from the stand as the Scouts glared at him. "Come on, kiddies," one of the scouts said jokingly. "First line with me!"

21:00 - Dinner Time
The to-be recruits had changed into their casual clothes, making their ways to the mess hall. Joseph followed suit and marched into the building. There were several tables and small rectangular pillars holding up the roof. The boy found himself in the line for food as he continued to follow the people in front of him. He looked around, inspecting the others there. There were some rather weak and flimsy people who didn't really seem like soldier material. Then again, he wasn't much stronger than them when he lived in the Stohess District.

I'm fine :P I've been sailing a lot. And how are you? :3

Attack on Titan: Corruption and Oppression

Okay >.>

D E A T H N O T E – "Who, me?"

Y sighed at the man announcing what he claimed to be his name. It was utterly ridiculous. Assuming that Kira was in that room, he wouldn't just kill one guy and give himself away. He'd simply wait until he found out one of the other detectives' name and kill them, and then kill Z. This wouldn't get them anywhere, other than simply giving up one of the detectives who thinks he's making a bold and smart move.

Though of course, someone so arrogant as Z probably wouldn't risk losing his life over a weak gamble. He most likely hadn't given his real name, which would be even more pointless. This room was supposed to be filled with intellectually superior people but instead, it was just people who thought they were better than everyone else and knew something about deductions, where they broke every rule to solving mysteries with each word.

"I would still like to know how you knew that these were Kira's killings," Y said to the policemen in general. "Some of them could've been accidents. What makes you so certain that they're Kira's work?"

If they were withholding information from the detectives, that wouldn't do. They needed every detail about Kira before continuing their crusade. Even if Kira was one of them, it wouldn't make much of a difference if they didn't know.

D E A T H N O T E – "Who, me?"

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.

Falconi said
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.

D E A T H N O T E – "Who, me?"

Annoyed by the man's rather degrading speech, Y glared at him, not bothering to get up.
"By assuming that there's a good chance that this person is a man of an age between 16 and 30, you're breaking the golden rule. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts," he quoted. He guessed that the man would try to object to his use of the word theorize but that would be quite pointless."It's just as likely for the person to be a female or someone over 30. Also, twisted view of right and wrong? No, you can't say that this person has a twisted view on something so abstract as 'right' and 'wrong'," he said and continued with a rather sarcastic tone. "Of course, someone of your caliber must've meant to say 'morality'. You might not think it's my place as a 'child' to argue with you about this issue but if you simply create a basic profile without any actual data to back it up other than some washed-up psychiatrist's plea for attention, you will always have that profile in the corner of your head while everyone continues to work on the case. I acknowledge the probability of your assumption is great but it's an assumption nonetheless."

He leaned back in his seat and looked down at his side, looking at something in his palm and then pocketing it.

D E A T H N O T E – "Who, me?"

@Falconi - Is that an actual study? If so, could you send me a link? I looked for some study about murderers with a god-complex but I couldn't really find anything.
