goals/dreams;; To stump the masses, solve every riddle, and prove once and for all the he posses the greatest deductive mind, and not his nemesis Batman.
overall personality;;Edward Nygma is a victim of himself. His overall criminal persona is so twisted into his personality that is virtually powerless to stop himself from acting out. Nygma is unable to simply defeat his opponent when he has the upper hand; he is forced to devise a complicated death trap that the hero has no hope of solving or escaping. Even as a child he was oddly intelligent, and skillful at passing his tests or any obstacles in front of him. Something his father refused to believe. His father accused him of cheating, and would continuously beat him to "keep him out of trouble". Due to the abuse from his father a compulsion was developed, one where he has to always tell to truth to always prove his innocence. This is also the main factor that drove Nygma to his obsession with riddles, and then later a life of crime.

history;; Edward Nashton was born into a broken home with an abusive father and a mother who was never around. When he was a child entered a competition in his school,to insure his winning Nygma sneaks into the school at night and practices the puzzle until he can solve it with ease. Obviously he ends up winning and he is awarded a book of riddles, this sparks his obsession. Since then Edward has practiced and mastered any riddle that has been set before him.
When Edward was old enough he left his home and joined the carnival. He would use his intellectual skills and mind power to cheat his customers out of there money, it was a pretty sweet gig, but it was not good enough for him, it didn't satisfy his cravings, he wanted something more.This lead him to become The Riddler, and he chose Batman as his greatest adversary and views him as an extremely intelligent and more than worthy opponent. He started off as a simple informant and criminal, but his rank slowly rose, and he became a more serious villain to Batman overtime. It wasn't long before he became a serious threat, and a main adversary to Batman, constantly testing his analytical abilities to his limit hoping that he himself will finally come up on top.

example;;
The boy walked slowly down the road, with his hands placed on the back of his head, and an almost permanent frown plastered on his face. A sigh escaped his lips as he finally sat down upon on the sidewalk, and leaned his back against a conveniently placed wall. "Life is so boring." He whispered to himself as he wrapped his arms around his legs, and pressed his four head too his knees. "Whats the point anymore?" He asked himself once again. Yuki let out a deep sigh, ass he lifted his head and leaned it back against the wall. Yuki had long brown hair greasy ratty hair that covered his crimson red eyes, but that was on purpose, yuki was sick of people commenting on his eye color, staring and glaring, it drove him insane. He was wearing a black long sleeved dirty t-shirt, mud stained, and torn form fitting jeans, and a pair of plain worn out black sneakers. A plain, and simple look. He didn't really care much for fashion, so the plain, and dirty clothing bother him at all. He hadn't slept for days, Yuki rarely ever slept, whenever he did he had terrible nightmares which caused him to wake up moments later anyways, so Yuki decided to try to go without sleep from now on, or at least as little sleep as possible. "I wont sleep I'll just rest my eyes..." yuki muttered again to himself as he slowly shut his eyes. Even with his best efforts he couldn't help but doze off there on the sidewalk.
