i'm just getting back into dwrp and i'm in the process of doing some game-shopping for a particular character type, so i thought i'd ask for advice — what are some games that would be a good fit for a serial killer?

i'm looking for a place where i can explore the interesting social psychology aspect of the character (possibly dysfunctional relationships, etc.) but where they can also fulfill their need on occasion without completely disrupting a game — a place where they don't have to be domesticated to the point of being unrecognizable or ooc, basically. i realize i'd have to put in work on properly integrating a character of this type into any new environment for them (esp. in dwrp since permadeath is often unheard of) and i'm especially excited about and welcome to the ic consequences aspect since a few of the canons i'm thinking of usually tiptoe around this, but i'm having more trouble right now at finding good game fits than i am at filtering out bad ones (e.g. holly heights). what are some of the good rp environments for this type of thing right now?

boxmods is rife with pc and npc killers, although you might be iffy on that considering the gigantic wank explosion that just happened

and i don't know for sure, but maybe look into

maskormenace? i know it's got that "superheroes have to WIN ALL THE TIME and BEAT EVERYONE" comics stigma, and i can't say for sure since i wasn't around for the reboot, but people in cnc were very good about working with villains and killers and i know at least one of the mods played an actual serial killer for a period of time

lastvoyages deals with the psychology of the criminal, serial killer as a subset. You do have to consider how they might be 'redeemed' as that's the function of the game and part of the app, but you don't have to redeem them until it feels in character to do so.

Murderous rampages happen and the likes of Arthas and Hannibal are in there already. Arthas has been there for years, so there's definitely no pressure to make a goody-goody out of your killer.
