Aux 2: The Code

• { The Code } •

1. No Innocent Blood.

I will not harm those who do not mean me or mine harm. If they raise no weapon, they are not my enemy.

2. No Children. Ever.

No matter the cause, no matter the situation. The cycle of violence ends with me, not with a child.

3. No Vengeance on the Weak.

If a guilty party dies, their family does not inherit their sins. I will not punish wives, sons, daughters, or parents for the crimes of one.

4. Old Age Is Not a Shield. But Deserves Mercy.

If the aged pose no threat, I will not harm them. Wisdom should be preserved, not destroyed out of fear or anger.

5. No Mass Retaliation.

If one man wrongs me from within a group, I will find him. I will not become the monster that slaughters many for the sins of one.

6. Self-Defense. Not Slaughter.

If I am attacked, I will defend myself. If I must kill, I kill to survive, not to feel powerful.

7. Wounded Are Not Game.

If someone is no longer a threat, disarmed, unconscious, or begging, I will not finish them. A line must remain uncrossed.

8. Kill Only When Necessary.

If I can spare a life, I should. No matter how easy the kill might be.

9. The Day I Enjoy the Kill Is the Day I Lose Myself.

If I ever smile while taking a life, or feel joy in watching someone bleed, I will walk away. I will not become what this world wants me to become.

10. But Some Things Should Not Walk.

There are people who prey on the weak. Rapists, Slavers, Cannibals, Abusers. Monsters that wear the face of men.

I will not let them roam. If they cross my path, I end them, not out of rage, but out of necessity.

They chose what they are. And I choose to make sure they don't choose again.
