I dunno. I'm weird on that. I kinda find odds and ends type characters I like. The merchants from Elden Ring have a cool backstory, whenever I'm roaming around I like to stop and chill by campfires. I sometimes find their music soothing in a land shaped by monsters. Except Patches when he tries to throw me off a cliff however 😤 ....you can kill them but I tend not to want to just because it's life.
The Family Man from a fictional podcast named Maeltopia. He's a serial killer that uses the bones of his family as weapons. But in this world there's magic and the weapons are alive. The sword is his father and the two daggers are his twin sisters. He is compelled to hunt other serial killers ordered by a mysterious being called the Shepard of Wolves, who the Family Man hasn't met but communicates abstractly through dreams. These serial killers developed powers through an event called The Great Darkness, which for an entire year drove people insane and then mysteriously lifted, which no one remembers what happened. The world was changed from then on as new structures appeared, new islands appeared, countries rearranged themselves and people developed powers through insanity and became convinced they had some higher purpose who then became known (in this series) as maelsapians.
This story is one of many set in the same universe. There's a few stories set in the same universe but different timelines, all semi evolve around the Great Darkness plot but because some of the timelines are either way after it happened, shortly before it happened or shortly after it happened, all of them are written slightly different and with different plots.
The Shepard of Wolves is about a serial killer but there's another story in the same universe about a journalist who teams up with two psychos after discovering a set of tapes. And another is about a group of researches who are sent to a mysterious island that sprang up during the Great Darkness. So it's a very complex well structured piece of fiction.
