People are puzzles. Sociopaths see what's on the surface, and can use that with physical and deductive evidence to piece people together in a manner that they can start to understand. Empaths read what's going on below a person's skin, and can use that in conjunction with observation of the person's behavior to lead them to evidence that the person doesn't know they've already given. These are not mutually exclusive traits (empathy and sociopathy).

A sociopathic empath is a callous manipulator, and is the most frightening being for the delivery of violence... essentially: the most effective kind of serial killer is the one who observes everything about a person without ever getting 'close' to that person.

Dexter's got an MO... he follows his rituals, marks victims as his kills. A 'better' serial killer would effortlessly kill in myriad manner and move on, relishing in the thrill as people try to piece together a puzzle that doesn't exist because the kill itself was simple. An unstoppable reflection of all that humanity can be.

But... where would the fun in that be? Attacking an unaware target is so easy that they might as well be comatose... no rush, no thrill, no danger; a kill that won't link to anyone, but also a kill that will not be remembered. A simple slash across someone's throat as you walk past them? Boring. Ending a child who followed you out of interest into a secluded area? Dull. Killing the same kind of person all the time for the same reasons and in the same manner? Fucking monotonous. I don't know how most serial killers can stand it.

Callous Alice isn't my gig anymore, but... even if she was? She wouldn't be boring, and while death can be an amusing joke on occasion... it's lifeless vapidness is chore, especially if one starts to live by it.

Quote:What I want to do, Dystopia... is to travel alone and homeless, and preferably without killing anyone who isn't being 'interesting' I'd probably assume that 'someone currently or recently engaging in rape, murder, or trafficking' would apply... but the likelihood I come across such in a manner to be of significantly more effective use with a knife than I would with a 911 call to the police is a rare rare feature indeed, and lives/innocence would almost certainly have to be dependent upon it.

Quote:Dexter fits a description of someone with psychopathic tendencies and some deeply disturbing SCHIZOPHRENIA (Seriously talking to dead people and all) but he is overly self-aware and thinks too much about what he does to be considered a clinical psychopath (also - He feels connections to people).

This is a great idea for a TV series. Or anything else, really

I don't find Dexter's schizophrenia all that disturbing The delusions are far more interesting things than are the hallucinations.

I wonder what it really means to be considered a 'clinical psychopath'... heh. 'I thought long and hard about it with my dead father-figure, and then stabbed this fucker in the heart and gave him a marking cut, therefore I'm not a proper 'psychopath' as far as the medical institution is concerned.' Effectively, what you're saying is that the only 'crazy' ones are the ones who don't know it. I don't disagree, I'd say that delusion is frightening because they're righteous about it... it's not crazy, it's reasoned... possibly terribly, but the person has justified themselves to themselves.

Probably best to leave violence to the telly. I would much like to see characters like that that... imaginary or otherwise. Deaths blending in with other deaths, nothing to connect them... simply the connecting of such a murder string would be an awe-inspiring happenstance Your war not so much a showy chessmatch... as it is a subtle horror that begins to become clear, a painting that paints itself through death... which pieces matter, which ones don't... a simple puzzle that is designed with tens of thousands of extra pieces. No criminal dna record to check, no recorded prints (and as if they would help in the first place... simple doesn't leave much room for them)... it'd certainly take interdepartmental assistance, but how would it even get off the ground if there was no discernable pattern.

It would be not so much a television series... as an epic built out of bodies not hidden and therefore completely hidden. Murder not 'premeditated'... just simple elimination, and moving on. Could be interesting from the standpoint of challenging the system, but the system wouldn't care.

It would have to be made to care. Wanton terrorism. Move on. Sabotage, move on. Fire? Move on. Burn them. Destroy them. Kill and maim them. Make them care Make them struggle. Make them rip each other to pieces, and blow the sidelines away. Indiscriminate. A message has to be strong, after all. Not a message through words... but through symphony. Indirect helpers manipulated to do your handiwork, foster revolution. Become interesting. Something has to be done. So many suspects, none matter. How long would it take? Easy stressors, knock the pillars of the system out. Copycats rise. Attention seekers take all credit, but it never stops. Does it. Cameras and phone data primary assets, can't carry mobile device, location services, draws a map. Witnesses pain. But they have to care... they can't ignore it. They would be made to care.
