   Slasher

   I’m going to take this as an opportunity to be a slasher that I’d be terrified of. I think I could go two ways with appearance. I could take advantage of being a female and not have to hide much or I could wear a mask and hide my identity making my reveal more shocking. I’d probably want to do the opposite of most slashers we see and target men rather than sexualize girls. If I had to have a schtick I’d target wealthy, greedy men and therefore find a way to acquire some of their money either for myself or as a way to make a “donation”. I wouldn’t want much of an origin story reveal early simply because I don’t have ideas for one yet

   If I were a slasher I would be one that sprints after people. Almost every slasher in the movies slowly and dramatically walks after their victims while holding their choice of weapons. I would wear a mask similar to Michael Myers' so my identity is a secret. My origin story would be a kid that was severely bullied in high school and is seeking revenge by tracking down all of his bullies to ultimately kill them.

   Id love to see a slasher that uses old loony tune style antics to depose of their victimizes. I think it would be entertaining to see a slash use some wile e coyote, and scooby doo  style traps. Lets roll some boulder down a hill. Lets hide behind a painting with the eyes cut out. Lets wear a goofy Halloween costume to scare people off.

   Killer

   I would be dressed in all white and if I kill more than one person a night, I would let the blood stay on so that my next victim realizes that there is no way out. I would target known child molesters and parents that abuse their children so that I would be able to satisfy my character's bloodlust, but also help those in a situation where they would be helpless.

   If I was a creep in a slasher film I would dress up in a Super Mario mask and wear a blue Dickies suit, walking around stalking my next victim. My main targets for killings would be child molesters and sex traffickers. First I would drive them crazy by popping up in the most convenient places and embedding my face into their mind. I would be seen at the grocery store, local park, next door neighbor and even right next you at the intersection in an old dusty truck. My backstory would explain the history of child abuse and sexual assault throughout my upbringing. Because of this I am determined to protect every kid"s life that encounters similar situations.
