Capabilities

The user, either innately or through training, is a master at cheating, subverting rules in order to gain unfair advantages. This can range from fighting dirty to using shortcuts in a race to winning games to cheating death itself by surviving when they shouldn't have.

This ability comes in great significance when dealing with seemingly overwhelming odds and allows the user to cheat their way to victory with expedient efficiency. They can intuitively cheat by any means and in the most effective ways possible without being caught, use anything at hand to do so, and have no mental/emotional issues or moral dilemmas either before, during, or after the deed. Users can perfectly and without a single flaw or mistake know how to cheat anything, whenever they want with zero effort.
