  Video here From far away, Bates is a relatively decent guy. Polite and reserved, a writer of pleasant stories. He'll hold doors open for just about anyone, he believes a sweet "Thankyou ma'am" can go a long way. Extremely passive. He speaks softly, shortly and to the point, monologues were just never his thing. Much like in writing, he tends to have a lack of 'fluff' in anything he says. In this way he comes off as socially awkward, often failing to advance conversations. Why should he spend time trying to branch out with others when he's got a whole sleuth of voices to chat with in his head? A closer look at the boy and one will eventually unearth his crippling Schizophrenia. A disorder commonly found troubling other variations of serial killers. Having been born with a greater risk for it at a young age, the reoccurring blunt force trauma to his head and brain caused by his abusive parents only helped it come along quicker. He suffers mostly from paranoia and catatonic versions, having an avid fear that the voices talking to him have eyes on the outside - and if he doesn't heed their instructions he'll be hunted and shot down easily. The hallucinations don't help, and he often sees dark, intimidating figures with guns, knives or machetes chasing him - this is one of the main reasons he cut down on ventures out into the public. It's not a good look when you're running from something that only exists in your head. He stays home writing most of the time. Selling his stories is the only way he pays for the apartment he's leasing. An apartment that's littered with bear and fox traps...Bate's form of defense system. The voices told him to do it. He listens. He always listens. It starts small. The voices hush whenever he's been good and done what he's told, but eventually another request is bound to pop up. They ask at a whisper, politely and only one at a time, but the longer he goes without putting their wish into action the louder, more frequent and more harsh they get. They usually ask the boy to murder various suspects, they only specify how or why occasionally. The only reason he kills is to shut them up. All he wants is a moment or two of peace and quiet. A chance at a bit of normalcy before they need him again. Aside from the demons in his head using him as their personal hitman, he has a few more negative quirks. He was already born with an unnatural lack of emotion, the diagnosing of his disease only worsening his horrible apathetic mannerisms. He holds no regret for the things he does, there is also an understandable barrier of opening up to someone. It's extremely hard to break down any of his walls and really get to him, as many psychiatrists have found. He absolutely despises being touched unless he initiates it. Ex - He can go into your personal space but you can't go into his. He's a hedonistic killer (Kills for comfort - to get away from the voices) and so luckily there is no satisfaction, pleasure, or sexual desire that comes from these heinous actions. There have been rumors that the killer is also a cannibal - untrue. They spawned from the fact that his victims would be missing body parts or limbs when found, but the simple truth was that in a weak attempt at reminding himself of the dead, he would take a tattoo. Copy one to be exact. He chops the body part with the ink he decides to replicate, takes the decaying flesh home and uses it as reference. He is his own tattoo artist as well, It would be a tad suspicious if he kept coming into parlors with arms, legs and hands asking if he could have the same tattoo as this guy. He disposes of the mutilated body part by keeping it in a special waste bin in his house, It luckily masks the smell but yet another reason as to why he never invites anyone over. Personally, he would like to have a little bit of company but it's hard to argue with the screeching devils in your head. He is the nicest asshole you will ever meet

  As stated above Bates replicates a tattoo from the body of every victim
  There has been a total of 7 murders, and there is a total of 8 ink drawings on his body
  
  1. Vertebrae
  Spine
  1st and last tattoo ever done by someone other than himself
  He got this before he started killing everyone.
  First ever tattoo and he chose one of the most painful spots for it to be done
  
  2. Leaves
  Located on top of hand
  1st kill
  April Deveen - mid 20s, black hair, green eyes. Journalist
  Death by gunshot wound - in between those emerald gems of hers
  First tattoo the murderer inked himself with. Simple enough for him to copy
  
  3. Good vibes
  Located on inner right forearm
  Sean McClerg - early 30s, blonde hair blue eyes, tall Californian, Tourist
  Death by gunshot wound - back of head
  An ironic message to be staining a serial killer
  
  4. Weeping Widow
  Left side of hip
  Bethany McClerg - late 20s, sandy hair, grey eyes, small Californian, Tourist, Wife
  Death by strangulation - how else was he supposed to stop her from screaming about the death of her husband?
  Only death he felt remotely bad about - She wasn't supposed to die
  Tattoo is purposefully hidden in a spot he rarely sees
  
  5. Purple rain
  Inner left forearm
  Jace Bean - early 20s, black hair, big eyes, a fan of his writing
  Death by various knife wounds in chest - Body found in alley
  He is particularly fond of this tattoo
  
  6. Pretty Corpse
  Right shoulder
  Penny - red head, prostitute, relentless, money hungry
  Death by gunshot wound - up through her bottom jaw and roof of mouth
  Wouldn't stop touching him
  His first Kiss
  
  
  7. Octopus
  Left side of ribcage
  Kaarin Frost - brunette, business woman, lawyer, artist on the side
  Death by bleeding out and strangulation - He screwed up on this one a little bit. Had to go back and finish the job
  Didn't actually have tattoos, but he found this drawing on a napkin in her coat pocket
  He admires her artistic ability, wish he could've seen more of it
  
  
  
  8. Hellboy
  Under both pectorals
  Alfred Ben-Casey - 23 ½ yrs, Strawberry blonde, green eyes, muscular figure, unemployed
  First man Bates felt attraction towards
  Death by knife wound - all the way through his neck (up to it's hilt), left in the body
  This tattoo is a personal favorite

  SEEKING
  
  The Victims | Now I don't expect anyone to willingly give up a character for him to butcher, but there are a few ways this could go. You could volunteer maybe an NPC that was close to your character, a sibling or cousin or something...someone whose death would make your character want some revenge. Everyone needs an enemy every now and then right? Another way is that your character is the target, but you keep evading Bates's attacks. He just can't kill you.
  
  The Suspicious | There's bound to be a cop or two eventually picking up on his bloody trail, and I know a few of you guys out there are always looking for some police/detective shit to get into. Maybe he'll leave behind evidence purposefully to fuck with them - notes at the crime scene or reed hearings, it could all be in good fun. Another funny interaction could be that he keeps running into his hunters at bars and such, but they don't pick up the fact that this blondie is the one they're looking for. Bates can always fit into your murderous police-plots, just hmu
  
  The Similar | Maybe sweet and adorable Bates connects with another form of killer - mercenary, hitman, mafia, serial. He isn't one to reject any tips and tricks of keeping the apparent blood off his hands. Who knows, we could make some weird murdering cult, if you're into that of course. Maybe if you schmooze enough, you could actually get him to do some of your murderous bidding.
  
  The Help | Psychiatrists or just a good friend, someone to help him with his voices. He'll do anything for just a little peace and quiet
  
  The Experimenter | Someone to push his boundaries a little bit, sure he hates being touched, inviting others to his home or even going out into public more than once a week, but he's gotta shake (at minimum) one of these eventually. Especially if he managed to catch someone's eye. I'm not opposed to flirting, but I've gotta say that Bates will be very innocent and slow with it all. Don't expectant smut or sex with this character. I just think it would be cute for the serial killer to try his hand at a little romance, nothing serious
  
  The Family | Both of his parents hated him and each other, I wouldn't doubt that they both had separate affairs going on at some point or another. I do believe he'd be more open to socialization if it was with a half brother or sister, they might be able to really get to him. Now it could go either way, his mother or father's side, but he is always open to being one of your OC's brothers
