Murder Cheerleader In Need of Murder Motivation

So I am still working with a vague character concept here, and I was curious to see if anyone would be interested in collaborating.

MEET MURDER CHEERLEADER


Art by Poppy~

I would like her motivations for being a serial killer tied in to someone else. While she is probably twisted enough to enjoy killing just for the sake of it, I want her to potentially be manipulated by someone else to some degree. I want a dominant figure in her life as her motivation.

My initial thought was a parent or some sort of parental figure who she kills for—possibly because they need to feed off of human flesh so she supplies it for them. However, this doesn’t necessarily have to be the case!

I don’t have an idea for her species or powers, except that they should obviously help her get away with murder and make her seem like a totally innocent cute cheerleader girl to most people. Obviously a parent or parental figure might determine her species and/or powers to some degree, so I am keeping that open.

Her name might be Darlene but I am not 100% on the name yet.

She has A LOT of school spirit and refuses to commit murder on school grounds. Her nickname might be ‘The Sunset Killer” because she probably commits most of her murders after classes.

And that is currently all I have. If you have an awful character who is a good fit, or if this inspires you to make one, hit me uuuuup and we can flesh out some ideas!!

I think I may be able to help with this... I had a character idea that I haven't gotten to play around with much. Or rather, this side of her never got out, so I'm interested in throwing it out there.

The character in question is a vampire/succubus hybrid who was raised by a mother who loved to experiment on living creatures. God knows how she'd get a daughter like Darlene, but there she is. Anyway, this character basically follows in her mother's footsteps and basically plays around with biology at the expense of innocents and guilty alike. She'd use Darlene to split the work load.

I LIKE THIS Darlene could have potentially been adopted after your character somehow saw the potential for Darlene to be ruthless but also easily manipulated into a convenient assistant.

(Unrelated side note: I still want Sarah to fake a DNA test for Storm. I just wanna get some current threads finished before I move onto new ones :'D)

Oh I like that, because then she could literally be designed to be awesome at murder LOL. I can definitely work with that.

And yes! I could start a thread if you want, but it might not be up for a couple of days--or possibly not until after Katsucon :')

I have a WIP on the character here in case you wanted to see what I got so far. I'm still tweaking things here and there, but most of the backstory is solid enough.

Finally had the time to read it over and I like!! I haven't had a chance to work on Darlene yet, but reading the WIP is helping to get my muse going
