ManifestoThe Ambition Code

Seven principles from his fictional lore — written on a Dawnside rooftop at the end of Season One, and never edited since.

In-character fiction

The Code is part of the character's fictional world — flavor for the character, not life advice. Read it as story.

The seven

  1. Walk anything under forty blocks. The city is the meeting.
  2. Dawn belongs to the disciplined. Be awake before the opportunity is.
  3. Every block is a page. Write it down or it didn't happen.
  4. Ambition includes people. Rise, and bring the street with you.
  5. Lose the deal before you lose the friend. Character compounds.
  6. Climb stairs. Elevators are for packages.
  7. The view is only worth it if you can still see the ground. Altitude with roots.

How it's used in-story

The Code is quoted back at him constantly — by Pace when he overworks, by Deacon when he gets proud, by the Saturday kids when he gets preachy. A code the character can't always keep is better story than one he can.

The practical companion is The Playbook; the short version is Sayings.
