Character Background

• History: Hook's backstory starts when his mother Katherina marries the king of Germany named Osbourne in a steampunk version of Earth that's set vaguely in the 1910s pre-WWI times. Osbourne has a young son named Jack just a couple of years younger than Hanz himself whose mother died in childbirth and the two become inseparable best friends. Hanz later recalls this is the only period of time in his life when he was genuinely happy and felt anything like love or kindness between his stepfather, his new brother, and the staff at Lohr Castle where he lives. His mother, on the other hand, is just waiting and biding her time, scheming to end up on the throne. She is a cruel, nasty woman who is filled with jealousy and anger.

When Hanz is about twelve, he gives Osbourne some spiced cider from his mother, thinking she just wants to be kind to him. He reflects he should have known better later because his mother has never been kind to anyone in her life. His stepfather is dead by morning. His brother Jack is devastated and rightfully blames his stepmother for what happened but Hanz isn't ready to believe his mother is capable of such wickedness yet. This causes a huge rift between the brothers and the young prince declares he and Hanz are no longer family. This hurts Hanz a great deal, especially when Katherina, now on the throne, banishes her stepson from the castle, forcing him to stay in a hovel close by and practically starving the poor boy. Whenever she remembers he's there, he gets beaten, several times close to death. This leaves Hanz isolated, his best friend and brother now separated from him and left with his monstrous mother now ruler of the whole country.

On Hanz's thirteenth birthday, he goes into the Forbidden Garden on the palace grounds and brings back an apple from the biggest, most beautiful tree to give to his mother as a present. Unbeknownst to him, this apple is filled with deadly poison. Upon seeing it in his hands, Katherina lashes out in a very literal fashion, clawing Hanz's right eye out. The event traumatizes and changes the boy at his very core. Where he once was loving and caring of others, he becomes cold and angry, but still desperate to please his mother and gain her love. Both Hanz and his brother state this is the moment when things really fell apart between them, their family now irreparably broken. He starts behaving much more cruelly to his brother, which between his mother plotting his death and Hanz now an angry, cruel teen is "lucky to survive to his last birthday" in the words of Hanz himself.

He gets his chance to show his mother what he's capable of when he's eighteen. His mother sends him and her stepson to England to start a war. Their plan is to bomb London and intimidate them into surrender by bombing specific targets she's picked out. He never questions why she picked those specific targets and only later learns to his utter horror that one of them was a lab where biologists were making biological warfare weapons, including the deadly Horologia virus.

Within days, most of the adult population of London is dead, and the rest of England soon follows in the upcoming weeks. The virus spreads across the entire world, incapacitating every nation. Most adults are dead within the year and the few that are left hang on only by virtue of the virus being airborne and therefore taking longer to attack their immune systems. Hook, the remaining men under his command called the Marauders, and his brother are left on their own. It appears the virus spares only those under the age of twenty or so and specifically only the males. Any females tend to sicken and die rather quickly. It's about this time his men start calling him "Captain Hook", a nickname developed from the acrostic nature of his full name. He decides to go with it.

Hook makes a fortunate discovery during this time. Buried in the rubble of the bio-lab he finds Professor Marie Darling, one of the inventors of the virus. Due to wearing a hazmat suit, she survives the initial infection, but is soon infected as well. Hook holds her hostage, knowing she is the only chance for a cure he possesses. His men starting roaming London, kidnapping the surviving children and teens, bringing them to her so she can hopefully develop a cure from their antibodies. They all end up sickening and dying.

A year passes. At some point, Hook becomes aware of a teenager named Pete who has developed a "Lost City" beneath London (now called Everland by the inhabitants) where he collects the stray teenage boys still roaming the streets, most of the girls having died by now. The two become at odds with one another given Hook keeps stealing Pete's "Lost Boys" for the Professor to work on. Hook becomes something of a legendary boogeyman to the Lost Boys, more myth than man. Unable to find the Lost City himself, Hook sends his seventeen year old little brother to infiltrate them and report back. He doesn't, instead finding a family with the Lost Boys that he's been missing for so many years, and stays with them, still called "Jack", short for Jack-Of-All-Trades now.

Hook claims what he wants the antidote for is world domination, given how it could give him power over any country but in truth, he has a much more personal reason: he's become infected with the virus too. He knows he can't go home to Germany or to his mother having failed so badly, so he waits, hoping for a cure. The Professor dithers on, secretly healing the sick kids she is sent as best she can and then sending them away with Hook none the wiser. As it comes upon a year, Hook loses patience. He tells the Professor they're leaving, at which point she finally reveals she knows exactly what she needs to cure the virus: the only girl who was fully vaccinated against it, her daughter Gwen Darling, though she withholds the last part of that information.

Hook, understandably, is furious, knowing he's wasted a whole year being lied to while she knew exactly what she needed this whole time. He decides he's going to get a bit more proactive, especially after his men capture one girl (Joanna, another of the Professor's daughters) and he sees another with Pete, Gwen herself. As they pursue the pair and several Lost Boys, Jack is shot, and left behind for dead. The Marauders capture him and take him to Hook, where his men and right-hand man Mr. Smeeth are shocked to discover the relationship between the pair. Hook is pretty pissed off his little brother up and joined the opposite side. Jack strikes a deal to keep the Lost Boys from harm, revealing the secret location of the Lost City so that Hook can capture Gwen while leaving the remaining teens and children alone. He also asks to be taken with Hook when the Marauders leave, knowing betraying the Lost Boys means he can never return to them. To ensure his little brother's loyalty, Hook takes a ring with the Marauders' sigil on it (a skull and crossbones, natch) and brands him behind one ear with it. Brother of the Year over here, right?

Hook captures the entirety of the Lost Boys but Pete and Gwen aren't with them. Deciding enough is enough, he decides to burn down the whole of Everland so they will have nowhere to hide. Discovering that Gwen is the Professor's daughter, he decides to use her entire family to draw the girl out of hiding and force her to come with him. He holds her little brother Mikey over a crocodile pit until she and the remaining Lost Boys show up.

This is when things go wrong for him. He discovers that the Lost Boys' doctor nicknamed Doc, a teenager prodigy, has already made a cure and has one vial of it left. Hook decides to take Gwen, Doc, and the cure with him so that more can be made from her antibodies. Then a fight breaks out between the Lost Boys and Hook's remaining Marauders, during which the last of the Marauders are either killed or desert Hook. During the scuffle, Jack tosses Gwen a sword, and she cuts off almost all of Hook's entire right arm. It falls into the crocodile pit still holding the cure and the crocodiles devour it.

It's only then that Gwen realizes Hook wanted the cure for himself, being infected as he is. As he lies there in a state of shock, she also comes to see him not as a monster who infected the whole world and has been stealing children, but as another lost, scared teenager who has made some monumentally bad decisions. Hook talks of how releasing the virus was all his fault, wondering what has he done. Gwen sympathizes with him, given how she just maimed him. She goes so far as wanting to take Hook with them when she and everyone else flee the burning Everland on Hook's main zeppelin the Jolly Roger but Pete will hear none of it. They leave Hook lying there on the grounds of Buckingham Palace bleeding out.

Jack, having surmised correctly that the Lost Boys would reject him once the truth came out, stays behind. The last Gwen and Pete see of him, he's running back into the burning palace as if to get something. This is where the first book ends.

In Umberland, book 2, it's revealed that what Jack ran to get was the one remaining zeppelin that hadn't been consumed by the fire. Then, not even sure why he was doing it, he grabs Hook and drags him onboard, steering the zeppelin back to Lohr Castle in Germany. Several times, he thinks of tossing Hook overboard given how his infection is progressing, but again he refrains. Somehow, despite the infection and massive amounts of blood loss that happened when his arm was lopped off, Hook survives through sheer force of will.

Three months pass. Jack becomes infected as well and Hook's symptoms become much worse. Queen Katherina is also revealed to have become infected. Still needing a cure, she reveals that one can be made if the original ingredient that started the plague can be found: one of the poison apples from the tree that Hook took one from when he was thirteen. All this time, both brothers have believed that the tree was destroyed, but it's not so. It's merely been hidden away in Germany's Black Forest region in a place called the Labyrinth, filled with all sorts of monsters and traps to protect it.

Hook immediately volunteers to go because he's a moron who still hasn't realized his mother is a sociopath who will never love him but the queen reveals she's sending Jack too. Knowing she's wanted to get rid of him for years, given he's the actual heir to the throne, Jack is immediately suspicious but what else can he do? The two set off to brave the Labyrinth.

They encounter one deadly trap after another, alternately spending the time snarking at one another, arguing about everything, and saving each other from certain death. Hook is mainly the brawn and Jack the brains of the operation. After Hook saves him more than once, Jack becomes suspicious. He figures something is up, for his brother wouldn't be nearly that nice unless he had an alternative motive. But they need each other to make to through to the center and so continue onwards.

After making it through one last monster, that curiously is said to test the "kindness" of a person, giving a clue that Hook's motivations for saving Jack might indeed not be as malevolent as they seem, they reach the tree. Hook has a mini-breakdown at seeing the source that caused the loss of his childhood innocence and starts hurling rocks and other debris at it until he falls to his knees, having gotten his emotions out.

After gathering up some of the apples, Hook turns on Jack, forcing him to bite into one of them, gloating that he's going to kill him as his mother wanted. But the apple is only fatal in large doses and small ones merely cause the person who consumes it to fall into a deep unconscious coma. After leaving Jack for dead, Hook escapes in a steampunk contraption to go back to his mother with the apples.

In the third book, Ozland, it's revealed after retrieving the apples Katherina imprisons her son, ostensibly for his many failures, but mostly just because he's outlived his usefulness. Katherina has turned into a freakish lizard monster, having taken a cure created by Doc that only mutated the virus because he used lizard proteins to create it. She's furious over having her beauty stripped away, once having been considered the loveliest woman in Europe. It's finally then that Hook begins to realize how little his mother cares for him and how much of a dumbass he's been. He's there for three months, slowly starving and rotting away, until one day the remnants of the Lost Kids are captured by Katt, a princess of England who has aligned herself with Katherina. Katt is nearly insane with desire to get an antidote and reverse her condition, having taken the same "cure" Katherina has, and so has massacred the Lost Kids and brought the last of them to the dungeons. This includes Jack who was revived by Doc with an antidote after being found by the protagonists.

Hook then reveals to his little brother that he wasn't trying to kill him in the garden, he was trying to save him. His mother had ordered he was to be hanged upon his return and Hook couldn't allow that to happen to the only person he really cared about. With no other options available to him at the time, he used the apple on Jack, gambling that someone would come along and find him, which is exactly what happened. Jack points out this plan was idiotic, considering all that could have gone wrong with it, but Hook insists it was the best plan he could make out of a bad situation where he had no other way to protect his brother.

He also reveals he's known King Osbourne was also alive this whole time, the poison he was given having rendered him into the deathlike coma as well. He had overheard a conversation between his mother and the royal alchemists when he was twelve about how they were to concoct a poison to kill him. The alchemists couldn't betray their king and so developed a lesser poison to make it seem like he was dead so that the king's loyalists could hide him until a time when they could revive him and put him back on the throne.

Understandably, Jack is skeptical about Hook's claims of wanting to save him and absolutely furious over the knowledge he knew his father was alive this whole time. He demands to know why Hook never told him and Hook pragmatically points out that if he had told him, Jack would have stormed off half-cocked and gotten himself killed especially since they were both still kids at the time. So he kept the knowledge to himself. Despite Hook's warnings she'll kill him as soon as she gets the chance, Jack forms a deal with Katt to marry her since he is the rightful heir so that she can become the queen of Germany, since the people won't accept her as a foreigner. He also disowns Hook as a brother, but considering the two of them tend to say this about once a week to one another at this point in their relationship, Hook isn't too hurt by it. Both Hook and Katt suspect given Jack's habit of switching allegiances when it's convenient that he's got an ulterior motive but neither are sure what it is.

Eventually, the last remnants of the Lost Kids escape their prison and free Hook as well, knowing he'll be useful. He says he'll help on one condition: that he's allowed to kill the queen. They're startled at the idea that he'd want to kill his own mother but Hook admits that everything that happened was because he was trying to make his mother love him when she is a monster incapable of loving anyone. He finally takes responsible for all the deaths in England and all those that have occurred since then, even allowing Pete to vent his temper by socking him in the jaw. He's tentatively accepted by them and Doc promises to cure him, given Hook's condition has progressed so far that he's near death by now, his flesh literally having fallen off parts of his left arm.

Using his knowledge of the castle and its secret passages, he takes Pete and Doc to the lab to make a new cure, and then the rest of the Lost Kids to rescue Gwen, who is being held unconscious by Katt as a hostage. When she finds them, her winged monkey army known as the Hoppleroffen comes with King Osbourne in tow, having found out his location and kidnapping him from his human rescuers. Hook uncomfortably watches the reunion between his stepfather and Jack before Katt's Hoppleroffen disarm the group in record time, sending them all back to the dungeons.

Katt decides to use the Lost Kids, Hook, and Osbourne as leverage to get Jack to follow through with marrying her, putting them out on display to be burned at the stake while all the people who live in the surrounding area and Queen Katherina watches.

This plan turns into utter chaos as the people, finally having enough of this despot's bullshit, start to fight back against the Hoppleroffen. One of the king's rescuers, Gail, shoots the queen full of hydrochloric acid that Doc had found in the alchemists' lab to melt her scales, which are preventing her from receiving any sort of injury. Pete goes after Katt, and with Doc's help, they kill her. Another of the king's rescuers, General Ginger, frees the Lost Kids and Hook. The queen proves to not be quite dead, and in a final act of spite, she races towards Hook with her unnatural speed and stabs him in the gut with her claws, stating if she dies she won't allow her son to outlive her. Hook grabs a knife and kills her for good by stabbing her in the eye, finally repaying his mother for what she did to him all those years ago. Having done what he set out to do, Hook drops dead to the ground and Katherina beside him.

He never learns that a proper antidote is developed, his stepfather gets back his throne and starts to help heal the world, or that Jack gives him a resting place in a peaceful garden that seems to linger with Hook's presence sometimes, missing his older brother despite all his faults.

• Core Relationships:

-Queen Katherina. Hook's mother is a monster, someone who would gladly burn down the world if she gets to rule the ashes. She's evil to the core and cares about no one but herself. Much of Hook's personality is unfortunately shaped by her, given her lack of love for her son and his desperate attempts to gain it. After the incident where she claws his eye out, he starts to realize how evil she really is, but still thinks there is a chance to gain her approval. This reflects often in how he treats others, for as cruel as Hook is, when he treats others brutally he often flashes back to his childhood, and realizes with a start that he's turning into his mother.

Still, despite all her abuse, Hook remains loyal to his mother. He braves the Labyrinth and the many trials therein just to get her a poison apple so that a cure can be made, hoping this will finally bring him the love and affection he so craves. Hook eventually wises up that his mother is incapable of loving him the way he would like in the third book. His desire for her love turns into a deep hate and his main desire becomes to kill her for all that she's done to him over the years.

Many other characters can't fathom this desire, given how they've lost all their parents in such horrific fashion to the virus or other causes, but Hook is adamant in his desire. He gets his chance at the end of the book even as his mother wounds him in a mutual kill. Hook finally gets the chance to get even and end his animosity with his mother for good. While he's still got his issues with her and always will, he's no longer beholden to the desire to do his mother's bidding no matter what.

-King Osbourne. While he's only mentioned a few times and they don't get the chance to interact in the present when the king is returned from exile, Hook reminisces that his stepfather truly loved him, and he has many happy memories from when he was alive, such as how he used to read to him and Jack when they were boys in his private library. He was a good, kind man and anything left in Hook that is at all gentle or merciful is due to his influence.

-Jack. Hook's stepbrother, the two of them spend much of the books talking about how much they hate one another, but it's clear that some affection still remains between the two of them given how fiercely they loved each other when they were boys. By both their recollections, they were inseparable and best friends until Osbourne's death, but the real nail in the coffin of their relationship came when Hook lost his eye. While Jack has remained a generally good person, Hook became vicious and bloodthirsty.

When Jack joins up with the Lost Boys, searching and finding the love he missed from his childhood, Hook knows it's just a matter of time until he sees him again. Though he treats his brother horrifically when he comes back, Jack still saves his life. After all, they're really all they have left in terms of family, given how worthless the queen is in terms of love and affection. While Hook has his own motivations for saving Jack time and again in the Labyrinth, he still tends to do it on an almost instinctive level, unable and unwilling to leave his little brother to die. This doesn't keep them from arguing the entire time, often about the paths they've taken in life. While Jack rightfully calls Hook a sadistic bully who enjoys killing people, Hook points out Jack has no reason to have the high ground since he's also killed other people and is an opportunist who immediately sides with whoever he thinks will gain him the most benefit.

While Jack is skeptical of Hook's motives in the third book and Hook is likewise, as it turns out both of them really do have the best intentions when it comes to one another. Alas, they never get the chance to make up and resolve their differences, for Hook is killed. The epilogue does reveal Jack eventually forgave Hook to some extent, missing his older brother while still able to acknowledge his faults.

A key note is that the two of them tend to, whether consciously or unconsciously, refer to themselves as brothers almost all of the time, signifying they still see each other as family. It's only when they're deliberately trying to piss each other off or put distance between themselves when talking about each other with other characters that they call themselves stepbrothers. Even others who know them pick up on this like Queen Katherina, for while she calls Jack her stepson, she refers to them collectively as being brothers.

-Pete. The leader of the Lost Boys and obviously the story's version of Peter Pan, the rivalry from the original tale the two have carries over into this retelling. Pete is tough, brave, and willing to do whatever it takes to save his family of choice in the Lost Boys from Hook. Hook, on the other hand, sees Pete mainly as a nuisance and pain in the ass for handicapping his progress in trying to find a cure for the Horologia virus. The two mainly interact through throwing insults and threats at one another. While Gwen wants to take Hook with them at the end of the first book, Pete still sees Hook as nothing more than the monster who has stolen so many members of his family, and coldly leaves him to die. Honestly, Hook can't really fault him for that line of thinking, and he doesn't hold a grudge against him for all that Pete accuses him of when they meet again in Ozland.

The differences between them is made clear when Hook reveals his desire to kill his mother. Pete lost his parents in a car accident that left him and his sister orphaned and therefore can't fathom wanting to kill your own mother. He sees Hook as more of a monster for it even while other characters begin to understand his position.

-Gwen. Gwen Darling is the only true person immune against the Horologia virus. Hook spends the entire first book trying to find and capture her for his own use. For the most part, he sees her as merely a tool to be used and not as an actual person, derisively referring to her as a little girl many times. She shows him she's anything but when she cuts his arm off at the end of the book.

It's only then that the two of them start seeing each other as something more than an abstract figure in their heads. Gwen realizes that Hook is not some monstrous boogeyman but an actual teenager desperate to save himself from the virus and Hook finally realizes Gwen isn't just a tool to be used but a resourceful young woman who will do whatever it takes to save her family. They end up sympathizing with each other before parting ways.

-Smeeth. Bartholomew Smeeth was a young royal guard for Buckingham Palace and Hook finds him there when he first invades the palace hiding under a dining table. In an unusual show of mercy, he spares the pudgy young man, realizing someone who has lived in London their whole life might be an good asset as he searches for the surviving children on the streets. Alas, Smeeth is very incompetent and fails at almost every task he's set forth by Hook.

This causes Hook to vent his temper many times on Smeeth and several times he comes close to killing him. What ultimately stops him is that he sees himself as a child in Smeeth: someone scared and unable to push back against their tormentor. Realizing he's turning into his mother, he ultimately spares the teen's life time and again instead of ending it for good.

It also shows the colder side of Hook's personality, for Smeeth is killed at the end of the book in an almost accidental fashion by Gwen, but Hook doesn't ever seem to notice his right-hand man is gone or even care that he's dead. He never mentions him in any of the other books again.

Character Personality Through Key Moments

(2+) Positive Experiences:

The only decent thing Katherina ever did for her son was marrying her second husband Osbourne. This gave Hook a new family, a father and brother that both loved him. The blended family got along very well, with Osbourne showing Hook a lot of love and affection, while he became so close to his little brother Jack that they became best friends and completely inseparable. Hook mentions even the castle staff was kind to him during this period, and as we meet a few members of them later on, it's shown to be true. This helped to give Hook at his core a decent foundation for becoming a good person, even if he's shown to make some monumentally bad decisions later on.

Hook's relationship with Jack is also one of the things that has shaped his personality. Despite everything the two have gone through and the unhealed rift of the pain they've caused each other, Hook still cares deeply about Jack, and the attitude is mutual enough for Jack to save his brother during the destruction of Everland despite all that Hook has done to him. It's very hard for him to show it and he tends to cover it up with a gruff, distant attitude, but he'll tear anyone and anything apart that he feels is going to harm his little brother. Despite his fear of and desperation to please his mother, he defies her in the Labyrinth in a gamble to save Jack's life from her, pretending to kill him and hoping that will be enough to take her eye off the destruction of her stepson.

At one point in the Labyrinth the two are attacked by giant constrictor snakes and are nearly overpowered. Hook is on the brink of giving up until he sees Jack is about to be suffocated and that gives him enough strength to kill both snakes. He claims afterwards that "no one is allowed to kill you but me" but that's just an excuse to keep Jack at arm's length so he doesn't question Hook's motivations too much. Granted, he can also be horribly cruel to his brother, but these instances become less and less as the books go on and Hook starts trying to atone for his former behavior.

(2+) Negative Experiences:

One of the key, defining moments for Hook was having his own mother tear out his right eye. Before that, he'd been an innocent, carefree kid, and if his mother didn't love him at least others cared about and loved him. Afterwards, it put ice in his heart with the loss of his childhood innocence. He didn't understand why his mother would be so cruel to him. If something so horrible could happen to him, who was just a boy that had done nothing wrong, then what was the rest of the world like? He surmised it was full of cruelty, that bad things happened to you no matter if you were good or bad, so why should he bother being a good person? He became a lot more like his mother in terms of how he treated people, brutal and harsh. But despite it all, he still has a rudimentary conscience beneath it all, and can feel guilt for what he's done.

This leads into the second point and that is dropping the bombs on London, which unleashed the Horologia virus. Despite his vicious nature, even early on in the first book he thinks to himself how he might not have dropped the bombs had he known what their targets were going to be. For a very long time, Hook stays firmly in denial about what he's done, how there's over a billion deaths on his hands. If he doesn't have to think about it, the knowledge of all that death won't haunt him or keep him up at night.

But at the end of the first book, he finally acknowledges that what happened is all his own fault. He's got to live with the fact he might have damned the human race to extinction all because he was too stupid and shortsighted to question his mother's plot. What this does eventually lead to is Hook's realization he needs to atone for his actions. When he realizes that joining the protagonists and killing his mother is what is necessary to do that, he does, even knowing it might cost him his life. And it does but at least he dies more easy knowing he did all that he could do set things right after he messed them up so badly.

It's also worth noting that this ties into a key aspect of Hook's personality and that's that he's basically got the personality of a dumb jock. He's shown time and again to make very bad choices and not just because he's a teenager. He's not one much for questioning orders, so when he's the one you want to drop bombs on a target to start a war or go fetch a poisonous apple from a labyrinth filled with monsters, he's the right guy to be the brawn of the operation. Hook's strengths lie in his physical nature and he's often shown to be good when he's simply pointed at something and told to take care of it. You just never want him to be the brains because he tends to mess up any plan he has in the worst way possible, and even when things do go according to plan like placing Jack into a coma to save his life, it's more due to sheer dumb luck than any actual forethought on his part. He definitely looks to others to guide him, whether that be his mother or his brother, and when left to his own devices tends to make the worst choices possible under the circumstances that can be made.

Deer Country Attributes

• Canon Powers: Hook is surprisingly strong and tough for a teenager that's dying from a virus that's deteriorated his physical condition quite a bit and has had very poor nutrition for a year and a half. In the first book, he lifts up Smeeth by one hand with no effort shown on his part and this is before he even gets his prosthetic arm that helps to give him an extra boost of power. In the second, he wields a greatsword (likely meant to be a Zweihänder) which is a heavy type of sword that requires two hands to wield, and at another point completely overpowers a giant boa constrictor that has attacked him with the element of surprise using just his own strength until he can pull out a dagger to stab it to death with. Several times it's mentioned different characters will shove or punch him. Hook tends to just stand there and take such blows, barely affected by them, until he's ready to retaliate, and show that he can hit a lot harder than whoever attacking him can. Even in the third book when Doc mentions he'll die within a few months if not given a cure, he still manages to summon the strength when mortally wounded to stab his mother through the eye hard enough to puncture her brain and kill her for good.

• Blood Type: Darkblood
• Omen: A crocodile named Tick Tock. The irony is not lost on Hook in the slightest.
• Blessed Day: Match to the month of the Patron Pthumerian
• Patron Pthumerian: Match to the Blessed Day
• Blood Power Manifestation: Hook's blood power will be altering the probability of luck. When active, things will go more in his favor so long as he actively tries to change things. For example, if he was being shot at, if he tries to dodge all the bullets will miss, and if trying to escape a monster the random alleyway he turns into will be just narrow enough to keep it from following. But if he just stands still, the bullets will still hit and the monster will still devour him. This also extends to situations that require some thought, such as cracking a safe. If he were to just guess a series of random numbers, they would turn out to be right.

At first, this power will be solely unconscious, and only activate in times of danger or stress, tied mostly to his adrenaline. As he comes to realize what is happening, he will be able to more consciously activate it, and at its highest level he'll be able to extend it outwards to affect one or two other people nearby.
