it gets harder to breathe

Doctor, lawyer, pilot, engineer, architect, CEO; you name it, any respectable profession under the sun and he had it covered once at the very least. Legitimately? Not at all, sadly. Yori found out at a rather young age that it's far more easy to forge certifications than to actually earn them. A perfect example, and perhaps the very embodiment of the phrase 'fake it 'till you make it'. The young man went by many names, infiltrating various fields, forging checks, cracking bank accounts; all this contributing for his newly amassed wealth. [break][break]

Masaru Yori had an early start at a life of crime. He grew up with his father, a renowned forger. His father made all sorts of deals with various individuals; the shadier they were, the more they were willing to pay. His father eventually took the consequence of his profession, taking a bullet after an unsatisfactory deal with unsavory figures. Left to his own, Yori knew he had the need to act on his own, thankfully, young Yori learned from the best. The young man forged himself his own ID, enlisting himself on a private school where he managed to learn a great deal. Yori topped in his class, surprisingly, though it never lasted. Eventually, Yori had been caught by the school authorities; despite the child's intellect and potential, Yori had been denied of his diploma and any further opportunity to study.[break][break]

Instead of entering yet another school, young Yori forged his own certifications and credentials, eventually using these to apply for a law firm without the need for him to take any exam. He learned all he had to through movies, shows, books, and recorded court trials; picking up jargons and whatnot to make himself sound more convincing for his lies. Having access to the firm's resources, Yori had then been able to forge salary checks for himself; amassing himself his first few wads of cash. [break][break]

All this went through in an almost repetitive cycle, infiltrating various new businesses and professions to gradually pilfer money off of them. As time went by the young man sought for more thrill, enjoying time and time again as he would pull off his ingenious schemes. The more he grew, the more risks he took. He didn't fear for himself whilst conducting his little schemes; so long as he had the confidence to pull it off then he'll pull it off, or so he says. [break][break]
