roleplay account for Jerry Lewis from Totally Spies!

Canon info:

Jerry runs an elite secret international organization called WOOHP (World Organization Of Human Protection). He calls it a spy agency, "Spies" is in the title of the show, and the characters refer to themselves as spies, but they actually perform little to no actual espionage. They're more like superheroes, just without any superpowers* and they work in spy catsuits (or regular suits) instead of tights and capes.

*I say they don't have any superpowers, but they are slightly superhuman, thanks to something called a "spy gene"; the name is probably left over from days when those who carried it actually performed spy work. It gives them slightly superhuman physical (stronger, faster, etc; aging is also probably affected, considering how spry Jerry and other characters his age or even older are) and mental (super intelligence for some, like Jerry and Sam, plus less practice required to learn and retain skills for everyone) capabilities.

However, the spy gene also affects personality, turning the carriers into adrenaline junkies -- they just aren't happy unless they're constantly risking their lives. It also probably affects mental stability negatively; most carriers are "eccentric" in some manner, and a lot of them go bad. This is probably the reason that Jerry is willing to hire teenagers and children -- once the spy gene activates, they need to be trained to give them the best shot of that not happening. Working for WOOHP also gives them a support network for the inevitable life-risking.
