Warden

Ignis and Aero

Aero, a 14-year-old inhabitant of the village of Albritton, wants nothing more than to read his enthralling storybooks in peace. When he hears of a Golem wandering in the forests near his village, he is more than happy to let the professionals deal with it, while staying within the comfort of his home.

Unfortunately for him, his adventurous brother, Ignis, has other plans.

Special thanks to mrcrimsonclean for proof reading :]

The God of Luck - The chosen individual must roll a die. 1/2/3 = They sacrifice 3/2/1 family members; 4/5/6 = They choose 1/2/3 enemies to be sacrificed. If you don't like sacrifices, you could also make it based on money where they may incur debt or gain profit based on their roll.

I don't really have a mental illness in mind. I know how I want him to behave but I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to find a mental illness that would make him behave that way. Researching serial killers is definitely an interesting idea. I will try that if I find time. Thanks for the advice :]

The protagonist in this case isn't exactly a detective so there may not be any reason that they would be given a break-down of the gruesomeness of the killer. Even still, I definitely have a few new ideas thanks to this thread. I'm definitely going to try and make the best use of the protagonist's reactions to act as a foil to the killer's actions. Thanks for the advice :]

I see. I guess that could make him inspire a bit more of a nuanced kind of horror. I suppose I shouldn't actively go out of my way to make him not relatable.

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep these questions in mind when figuring out this character. Right now, I'm thinking he would consider anyone who calls him a lunatic/monster guilty of hypocrisy. His reasoning may be something along the lines of humans being okay with taking lesser life to sustain their own, but having issue when he does the same thing to humans. Any torture he does to his victims before he kills them is basically part of the "cooking" process. Of course, I might change any of this as I proceed but this sort of seems to fit the way he behaves right now.

Mm, we'll see. I don't exactly want him to be too relatable though.

I probably won't have the opportunity to go in depth into their back story, so for the time being I'll probably leave it somewhat vague. Still, trained soldier/assassin is an interesting idea.

Lol, simple and efficient

I want this character to be more of a mad dog type. Though, now that I think about it, there's another character who I could use the polished quirk with.

Interesting thought. In my case, the character is kind of like a vampire, where they have to kill humans in order to survive. The other members of his group mostly just want to kill for that purpose, but this one coincidentally also happens to enjoy killing. I'd probably have to come up with some sort of reverse premise that weirdly justifies why he likes killing. I could definitely see this adding some depth. Thanks for the thought :]
