The names are just random placeholders so as not to call them 'victim 1' and 'victim 2' lol. And thank you!
I think that idea sounds much better ^^ Do you want me to come up with more background characters? Maybe flesh out these ones and make more murder cases?

Sure, that would help a lot! We'll need at least 7-8 past murders, or attempted murders, so we can connect all the characters. Then we'll need a few present ones to start up the whole mystery again.

I LIKE IT!! The last names might have to be switched up to fit the characters, but other than that I think it's really good!
As for the motive, I was thinking something along the same lines. Maybe a bit more dramatic though. Like, he was part of the friend group along with his younger sibling, and due to the group either bullying said younger sibling or doing something foolish on a dare the younger sibling died. And they never spoke about it or fessed up. Just something that could actually drive someone to murder and to murder multiple people over multiple years. I was also going to suggest that maybe he fell in love with someone, but they didn't reciprocate his feelings? I don't know. Seems like you guys have it down already. ^^"

I like that idea, but I fear that it might humanize him too much. I want him to be as hated as possible. What do you think about everything else that has been suggested? I'd love to hear your opinion!

I don't know; I feel like having him be "as hated as possible" wouldn't leave much room for character depth. No offense or anything. ^^"
I just thought it would be more fun if he was like...a functioning member of society? Like, he'd be someone that part of the neighborhood, one of the friendly faces that each of the characters always have in the back of their mind. [Ya know, like Fred the Delivery Guy or something, lol]. That way, there can still be an element of betrayal.
Making him more amiable leaves more room for general drama, I guess is what I'm trying to get at.

I was thinking it'd be strictly revenge, so having him be hated is good. But that's only as the killer, I totally agree with you that he'll be a normal member of society but in reality he'll really be a ruthless killer bent on revenge. What I meant, and didn't clarify my bad, was that he wouldn't have a good reason to do what he does. A reason that no sane person could sympathize with y'know?

Okay I haven’t had much time to actually think about ideas lately, but I’m gonna make it my goal today!

Alright then ^^ I was thinking that for the past murders, maybe one or two of them failed, and those victims survived? Then they could provide a witness report and give vague clues on what the killer looked like. Or would that be too much?

No no, I think that would be good. They could be the ones to eventually tell the group why the killer finally snapped. Like the group would be asking if anyone wanted them dead and they could bring it up. But no more than one or two should have survived. And maybe after telling the group they get killed off.

Awesome! And then for the people who were actually murdered, should I do the same thing I did before? Like when they were last seen, a bit of background information about them, how they were murdered, etc?

Post by 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 on Jan 3, 2019 15:53:08 GMT -5
Yeah, that would be great! Again, don't feel rushed. I'm super grateful for the help!

Would the killer leave a signature or motif of some kind at every crime scene? (Sorry about all the questions btw)

Post by 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 on Jan 3, 2019 18:54:37 GMT -5
I was thinking that the killer would leave all his victims either somewhere relating to his past, or something circus themed for the aesthetics of it all lol What do you think?

Post by ᴀᴄʜʀᴏᴍᴀᴛɪᴄ on Jan 3, 2019 19:40:40 GMT -5
How about both? Like maybe the old amusement park/circus was where he was bullied and where he lost his sister. So the murders become centered around that, whether with the hanging at the ferris wheel like with Jennifer Swoop or maybe he leaves clown-related items at the crime scene. Just so that people know this is the work of a serial killer and not just a string of random murders. Maybe?

Yeah, I think that would work. It would also help them connect the murders to him. If we want to go with his sister getting killed as a backstory we can always just say she died there after a dare or something!

ooh nice! Okay, this should help me come up with some murder scenarios.

Hey if you're still interested, I finally managed to come up with another murder case?

Post by 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 on Jan 7, 2019 17:35:29 GMT -5
Yeah! I'd love to hear it. I have a few ideas, but none of them are written out because I suck at finishing things. As soon as I do I'll post them.

That's a mood lol. Here it is! I feel like this could be a past, present, or future murder, whichever works best. Feel free to shoot it down or tell me I need to add more, because tbh I think I should have put more thought into it. [Larry Wilson]- 19 year-old police officer in training. His [father/grandfather] is the sheriff of Eastvale, and he wanted to follow in his footsteps by becoming a police officer. (The sheriff used to be the leader of the bullies, which is why the killer targeted his son/grandson). Larry was last seen leaving the station at around 20:00. His body was found at the old amusement park. Nearby on the ground is a message written in his blood saying "Your heroes aren't worth believing in." It can be inferred from the message that the killer has a personal vendetta against the police. And the clue here might be interviewing the sheriff to see why anyone would want to target his family.

I think it sounds good! I might add that he was looking into the murders closely, just to mislead the rpers a little bit and have it be a bit harder! What do you think?
|

Post by ᴀᴄʜʀᴏᴍᴀᴛɪᴄ on Jan 8, 2019 20:42:05 GMT -5
Oh, you mean like how the rpers would perceive the killer's motive? Like they would be mislead into thinking the killer wanted him dead because he was looking too closely into the murders, so the killer tried to silence him? If so then I like that better ^^

Post by 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 on Jan 8, 2019 20:54:58 GMT -5
Yeah! Sorry I suck at explaining my thoughts lol I just thought adding that misleading detail might make the mystery a bit harder :3

Post by ᴀᴄʜʀᴏᴍᴀᴛɪᴄ on Jan 8, 2019 21:11:16 GMT -5
You're fine, no worries! And yeah I agree, the whole sheriff thing might give away who the killer is and that would make it too easy, unless the sheriff tried to cover up his involvement by planting that idea in the rper's minds.

Post by 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 on Jan 8, 2019 22:00:24 GMT -5
Ohhh now that's a good idea! A corrupt Sheriff would give the rpers a better reason to even look into the killings.

Post by ᴀᴄʜʀᴏᴍᴀᴛɪᴄ on Jan 9, 2019 1:43:50 GMT -5
oooh yeah! When the sheriff won't do it, then it'll have to be up to the rpers to solve the mystery and expose the truth. Or something like that lol. Okay, I think I'll work on one of the surviving victims next.
