HECK YEAH I CAN HELP
Okay so I always see serial killer stuff on Pinterest so I'll be able to help.
First a question for you, though.
What are you planning to do with them?
sobs yes thank you ^^ I very much need help
ok, so in my book, Death has hired them to collect souls by killing people for him. he's done this cuz he's helping Life look for pieces of Time (who was broken), so he can't always be taking souls. it's a pretty good deal for them, they get to kill people, and Death won't kill them as long as they work for him. they're practically immortal. I just gotta figure out how to still make them killer-like and not just workers for Death.
Man I thought this was a chat for serial killers, and I thought that there was finally a place where I could be recognized
Welp, sorry I shall disappear now
Ahhh okay, so I would recommend highlighting the pleasure they feel after collecting their victim's souls.
actually
So do you plan on having them be like Psychopaths or Sociopaths?
ahh, that would depend on the character I guess. I have a few character outlines for some killers already if that's helpful???
I already have three good ones and at least two I'm still working on.
Alright, so I wrote a story about a Hitman, and basically, all I did was highlight how much he loved his job, and his reasoning, which usually, a serial killer doesn't have. It really depends on how you characterize them. But I based him off of a Psychopath type characterization.
A Psychopath is more likely to kill for a reason, like target a certain group of people like females (look it up, a lot of Psychopathic Serial Killers target women). Psycopaths, if they were to kill, wouldn't feel any remorse at all.
A Sociopath is more likely to kill randomly since their emotions are so out of whack. A Sociopath would feel remorse for murders.
I might be severely wrong, but I trust myself on this subject.
Happy writing!
sobs thank you killer senpai
this was very helpful!! ^^
You're very welcome! Since I might be a Sociopath (lool just kidding I'm not) I get this.
Oh wait I'm a writer.
SAME DIFFERENCE RIGHT GUYS??
Watch Psych.
There's murders in legit like every episode.
It's PG-13, if you mind :)
lol yes
DUde Psych is so good
but it's not accurate to what our friend wants here.
Alright! I was giving some "refernces" to some behaviors of a killer, and some ways that they might cover up. I realize that not that specifically is what they asked for, but I decided to kinda give some extra serial-killer-ness.
