From the martial heroes of Jiang Hu to the epic demigods who strode amongst the mortals of Ancient Greece.

From the outlaws of the Wild West, to the knights and nobles of King Arthur’s court.

From the enforcers of La Cosa Nostra to the Bloods and Crips, Triads and Yakuza, society idolizes the larger-than-life exploits of men and whom who live and die by a code.

Whether there truly is honor among thieves is beside the point.

What we long to see are people overcome impossible odds by doing the thing that lets them win when it matters most.

On some level we hope we could do the same, but how would we know?
