What type of serial killer would you be? What type of person would your victims be? How would you go about it?

Here are some different types of serial killers:

- Thrill seeker: See outsmarting law enforcement as a game, enjoy media attention, police pursuit, and evading the authorities. They send messages, and keep records.

- Mission oriented: Feel they are doing society a favor by eliminating certain people, perhaps for moral reasons.

- Lust/Power oriented: Enjoy the victim's terror, suffering, and screaming. Kills for the pure turn-on. The amount of pleasure the killer derives depends on how much they torture their victim. The more heinous the torture, the more aroused they become.

- Visionary motive type: This type is considered insane or psychotic. They often hear voices in their head telling them to commit the crime. They may also see visions.

But you are not limited to these. Be creative.

[SenhorFrio]

i'd stalk them for a week and judge thme on their moral goodness-andi'd then choose whether to kill or spare them. i'd use a sniper rifle.

 

[Nasmoe]

I guess the mission one, though I don't think I would be into torture, just getting rid of them when they annoy me. Shoot and run is how I would go about doing it I guess from a distance. The victims would be evil people who don't know how to leave people alone.

What type of serial killer would you be?

Honestly, I'd be a "Lust/power oriented" killer. It would be sort of an extension of the sadism I already have, but in a much larger way. It would be... well, beautiful.

What type of person would your victims be?

People I was attracted to, most likely. I always have a strong urge to damage those that I enjoy most just to see how much of it they can take... Since we're talking torture due to the "Lust/power" theme, I would be able to respect what a strong person they were... It would make them even more attractive, though being dead would be a turn off. Probably petite women.... Dark hair with light eyes... Brown hair with green eyes is the most desirable at the moment... Shy with tendencies to study a lot, and fidgit or stutter when they get nervous....

How would you go about it?

Oh, that's easy... People always think I'm so sweet and innocent... I could convince such a person that they needed to help me... I'm really good at looking like a scared, lost child trapped in a teenager's body... We'd go somewhere isolated, and I'd knock them out... When they woke up, they'd be tied spread-eagle... And then I would start torturing them... It would be wonderful. Maybe I would tape it for later, so I could enjoy it over and over.

Excellent response.

 

[Scruffy]

What type of serial killer would you be?

- Thrill seeker: See outsmarting law enforcement as a game, enjoy media attention, police pursuit, and evading the authorities. They send messages, and keep records.

By far, it would be a desire to be great at what I do and to outsmart and outplay all of them. Also, I would toy in such a manner to volunteer in the investigations.


What type of person would your victims be?

Interesting and weird people, to keep a theme I would want people in the Arts field, gender wouldn't be an issue for me. It would just be whomever, I'd like them to be somewhat well known.


How would you go about it?

Guns are too impersonal, and something like strangling would be too personal. I would opt for Knives, or Poison.

I would not need to stalk or even surprise my victims, they would probably walk through my front door and think nothing strange. Sitting down for a dinner I could poison them, or find an opening to stab. I would make sure they learn of what I'm doing just before I do it as well, talking in a smooth and nice manner while they are obviously falling victim to a strong poison.

And the most interesting part, I would set them up in an artfully manner. It would be as beautiful as it is disturbing, in their preparation they almost wouldn't look real. It would not look as if it was rushed, because it wouldn't be.

Stuff like hanging from the ceiling in a puppet-esque manner, over some canvas of blood patterns. I'd either remove all but one article of clothing, or leave all but one on. Perhaps a half skinned skull on a pedestal. Splitting one in half long ways and having the sides near touching each other (reaching out).

Edit:
What would be your trophy?

Concept photography of the "scene" that I have created.

 

[Vaka]

I'd do do it for the challenge and fun of coming up with a complex plan/strategy to successfully carry out the killings and evade arrest. Oh God...that sounds fun!

Really, I think that I'd kick into vigilante style and target people who I'd feel somewhat just for killing.

How I wold go about it would depend and would vary. I think that I'd like to leave my mark on every killing. I'd bring my love of novelty into it by making there be something unique about every one of my murders.

Also, I'd like to have my own get-up...Yes, I am a nerd :bored:

 

[Rogue Eagle]

ooh Andy you're fucked up D: haha

I think for me I'd have to be motivated by ideals on some level, having my own set of ethics. How much the person suffers would probably depend on the degree of their own crimes.

 

[Midnight Runner]

What type of serial killer would you be?

A combination of the Visionary and the Missionary. The voices and the visions would show me who needed to die to help make the world a better place. It would put me on the path to leading the world so as to help it.

What type of person would your victims be?

Generally leaders of anything larger than a city that I felt were doing a poor job or people I felt were "evil." So the rapists, the murderers, the abusers, but not the people who committed petty crimes like theft. They wouldn't be worth my time on the time-sensitive "mission" I would have.

How would you go about it?

I would try to vary the ways that they were killed so as to throw off those that would try to catch and stop me from doing this. Though I would probably stay within guns and knives and try to keep the deaths quick and (relatively) painless. I would likely kill with fire on occasion, but that would be too personal and thus would make me (in my mind at least) easier to catch.

Nothing fucked up about a good imagination. I appreciate everyone's creative answers in this thread.

 

[Hiki]

What type of serial killer would you be?
All of the above. The top type is Thrill Seeker, then Mission Oriented, then Visionary, then Power. I would enjoy killing meat heads, and that would be the thrill seeker inside of me. The Mission Oriented would be killing cops who rape or kill others or steal from poor and beat their wives/children. Visions in my head would be symbolism. If I'm killing people and I'm seeming to go about it for inane reasons, why not follow my fucked thoughts? Perhaps not inane, but insane.

What type of person would your victims be?
Stupid people who cluster fuck in a herd. Rapists. Druggies. Hookers. Shady assholes. Sluts who have bleached hair. Women who let doctors inject toxins into their lips and bodies. Quacks who waste money on plastic surgery instead of actually saving lives, lives of the poor. ESTJ police officers. Along with most of the other Si and Se. Religious fear mongers who tell you abortion will put you in hell. Preacher's who collect money to steal and support their child porn collection. Rock stars who sing about fucking whores when they have children and a wife at home. Cheaters. People who have three somes, especially when they're with someone. Married couples who go to sex parties. Swingers. Pick up artists. Magicians. Cheesy rappers. Strippers. Concrete headed therapists who hardly get paid anything and assume you have millions of mental disorders. Flirty people. Directors who ruin my childhood who re-make movies into shit. Anyone who makes anything cliche and over populated. Girls who kiss girls to get attention. Anyone who treats those like children who have disorders/disabilities/diseases. Someone who steps on others to get ahead. Stupid girls who pretend to be into mmorpgs, science, math, books and any other idea that doesn't seem conformist so they are liked more. Non-conformist conformists. The asshats who go to hot topic and the mall. People who get mad at me for being honest.


How would you go about it?
I would be myself. Meek, timid, shy. Take them to a deserted beach, have a party and spike the mass amount of alcoholic beverages and drugs with poison. They wouldn't be able to die unless they drink enough, so I'd let them fuck each other in a huge disgusting orgy and let them swim in the ocean. If they don't die from drowning first, I would dig in the sand and find my secret switches and encase them all in the gigantic net I've painstakingly stitched together with wire and rope and watch them all scream, flailing their arms as if being attacked by sharks all while I sketch everything. Or video tape it, taking still frames so I can paint my master piece and never show anyone but those who understand and love me. If there are survivors, I have a detonator.

 

[walkawaysun09]

Type of Killer:

Very much a Mission type, because I see removing certain kinds of filth from this world as a prerogative. Some people just cause problems in this world, and they should be eliminated.

Victims:

KKK members, Nazis (Neo/wahtever), Sexual Predators/Rapists (Including the Catholic Priests), Cocaine/Heroin/Meth makers and distributors, Corrupt cops, Corrupt politicians, Rich people who are too self-righteous to help people who have less than them, Etc etc. (Basically any and all things I've ever complained about on the boards or chat and then things I haven't even bitched about yet)

How I would kill them:

Let the punishment suit the crime. Rapists will be killed by means of castration/etc and raped with knives/barbed wire. KKK members will be lynched and/or burned on crosses. The rich will be gagged and suffocated with money or melted with coins. Drug pushers will be given lethal OD's that would kill an elephant. Corrupt Cops will be shot while eating doughnuts (or whenever if they don't abide by stereotypes, hell, it's their job, it's cliche and probably would go unnoticed), Politicians would probably have to be strangled/suffocated in their beds or gassed while in their offices.

In the end, I wouldn't want to be caught...even if it was a public figure, I'd like to find a way to do it with as little evidence to my wherabouts and that I did it...make it look random, unconnected. The more I can kill, the better, because it would make the world a better place removing such filth.

 

[lirulin]

Mission oriented. They would deserve to die, all of them. They would have to be guilty of some serious crime and out of the reach of ordinary justice. Otherwise it would be random - things I happened to hear about that made me angry. I would not have too organised a system, for this would be a way to get tracked.

It would be a hobby though, and I would take years off, if necessary, to make the trail cold. All victims would be strangers, so that no personal connection could link me to any one of them. I prefer arsenic and isolation, but a variety of modus operandi would be best, adapted to the situation at hand. Perhaps with some significance to the victim, although if I get too into that it would link the crimes together and I have no interest in that. No need to fetishize. It is inefficient.

I would also get heartturnedtoporcelain in on it as my willing dupe. She has already agreed that she would blindly follow me should I go off the deep end and start killing people, since I would probably have very convincing reasons. I could use her to distract the authorities, if necessary, lay a false trail to her, kind of thing. No one would ever suspect her if there was evidence that was interesting but inconclusive. Much as I am an unlikely suspect myself, no one would suspect her upon meeting her. But it could buy me time and sow indecision and doubt.


(I hope this is never used as evidence - you're not secretly a cop, are you? :shocked

 

[HannibalLecter]

Thrill seeker.

After years, and by then many more years, of researching many topics from occultism to conspiratology, linguistics to mythology - I should think I'd be quite the challenge.

Who would I chose as victims -
People in power.

How would I kill them -
Torture. Long, bloody, torture. Torture far, far worse than anything ever dreamed up by Dr. Ishii.

 

[fn0rd]

I cannot answer this question for when I actually DO start killing people, there will be no discernible pattern with which to link me.

But, everyone that will die at my hands has it coming. I can reveal (and promise) that much.

 

[Mutatio NOmenis]

Mission-Orriented.

I'd go after people who damage society like political nutjobs (left and right wings), rapists, abusive partners, theives, libertarians, terrorists, and morons. I'd also kill girls who would not date a guy shorter than they are. Also, bridezillas and their ilk are on the list, such as people on My Super Sweet 16.

I'd probably use a knife or a gun, and maybe go in for a bit of sexual thrill on some of my more deserving targets.

 

[Outcode]

What type of serial killer would you be?
I'm more of a mission orientated/revenge killer.


What type of person would your victims be?
My victims would be the mainly be the people who really deserve it but if I was a serial killer then I wouldn't be above killing people I didn't like at all. My victims would be other serial killers, racists, people in power who are doing way more harm than good, drug dealers/makers (the really bad stuff like heroin and meth), and rapists. Raping an innocent person doesn't go well with me at all, they should expect a sniper bullet into to kneecaps and private area.

How would you go about it?
I'd go the silenced sniper rifle route, also. It's safer and I'm less likely to get caught.

 

[mrscientist]

What type of cereal killer would you be?
A stupid one. Like forgetting weapons at the crime scene, leaving a ton of DNA samples, maybe falling asleep at the crime scene.


What type of person would your victims be?

Mostly people who i despise for some petty reason.

How would you go about it?
I'd plan it 10 minutes in advance, asked a cop where i could buy some murder weapons, called information to get their home adress and off we go dressed as a ninja. Let the carnage begin!

 

[skycloud86]

This question is quite hard, as I don't find murder justifiable, I certainly don't believe in revenge/vengeance and I wouldn't get pleasure from torturing/harming others. However, if the hypothetical I has to be a serial killer for some reason, then this is how I would answer the questions.

What type of serial killer would you be?

A careful serial killer, making sure to leave as little evidence behind as possible and making sure that my victims were chosen well - I certainly don't want to kill people who benefit society. I think I would be a mission oriented serial killer.

What type of person would your victims be?

People who abuse their power/influence/authority - examples would include corrupt police officers, paedophile priests, corrupt politicians who have little concern for the public etc. People who are unashamed bigots - racists, homophobes, misogynists etc, but only the ones that are in a position of power, influence or authority (for example, someone high up in the BNP, rather than some lowly BNP member), so that their poison is removed from society.

I would also go after other serial killers as well, if I was able to track them down. If I really must kill others, then I would want to have some of my victims be murderers themselves, so that in a way I balance out my own crimes.

How would you go about it?

I don't know how to use any guns, but if I had a sniper rifle I would find it very useful. If I was able to sneak up on them I would probably just cut their throat from behind.

I probably wouldn't plan it out too much, but instead track the intended victim and wait until I had a good chance of killing them.

 

[Monte]

What type of serial killer would you be?

Thrill-seeker. I already am one, just not to the extent of killing.

What type of person would your victims be?

The most random people, that way they couldn't track who I was going to go after. Young, old, middle-aged, black, white, asian, spanish, rich, poor - everyone.

How would you go about it?

Stalk them for a while, learn the schedule of course. I would rather kill them in their own house, so if they don't have an alarm, that's just perfect. If they do, well, I know how to disarm alarms, so that's fine too. I think it would be more fun to have to use my environment than to come fully prepared. So I think I would kill them with something in their own house. I carry a knife though, so I would probably keep that on me just in case. Then I would have to come up with some kind of mark or symbol to leave behind.
