"It's about a character named Jason going through life after witnessing his family being murdered when he was a teenager. Depending on the decision you make will you give up on the world and do everything you can to destroy and clean it? Or will you rise above your past and do everything in your power to try and protect the good in it? The choice is yours."

Not much to go on, mate.

Sounds like Batman though.

Ya, if Batman wanted to murder everyone with -----------. Plus it is still very early in the writing so I will just be posting more of the plot as i progress through it.

The original Batman killed people all the time.

The original Batman did kill 45 people but this character will not be running around in a tight bat suit lol. Also keep in mind if you choose this particular path the character will try and destroy the entire world no matter who is in it. The world is made up of 7 to 8 billion people. So 45 is really not that significant when you think about the amount of other people there are.

Just make sure you give your character a legitimately believable motivation for destroying the planet. One thing I've always felt was a great glaring flaw in a lot of villains in fiction is - what's the end game? You won. You beat everyone. You killed them all. Now what?

End actually addresses this problem in Necromancer. His solution was to hop on over to the next world and start all over. Of course, the Necromancer never considered this until someone helped him along the way. And if I recall, he was a miserable wretch going mad when he realized how he had fucked himself.

@EndMaster am I hitting the mark?

More or less.

Ill be sure to do that. Also, I have already though up endings for the destruction choice, but I don't want to revel to much yet.

Warhammer 40K's version of "Batman"

He could be like Lobo, and killing everyone on his planet just so he can be the last of his kind. (and for the lulz)

There was Kerghen in Arcanum who wanted to kill everyone in the world so everyone could finally be at peace since he believed "life" was a lie and an abomination to the natural order.
