! HEADCANON: KILLING SIGNATURES & METHODS.
* trigger warning for necrophilia mentions, rape mention, drugs, murder, etc. basically don’t read if you’re not prepared for this material. inspired by the real life tarot killer & others. ofc ideas here are not shared by mun, though i shouldn’t have to say that.
All things are cold as ice / My mind is occupied.
PART 01. hayao’s killing methods play heavily on his god complex, no doubt heightened by mara’s presence. he has no designated preference for victims, though he does make note that he will never harm a child. often he’s reminded of his own self in the innocence of children, usually stemming back to his complicated childhood back in japan when he was forced into child sex trafficking. if he comes across anyone who harms children, they will surely be his next victim. however, anyone else is free game. usually his victims come from contacts from his job at a local nightclub & bar. because he’s a bartender there, its not difficult to scope out potential victims that he can easily drug or simply befriend & flirt his way close to. this is his preferred method, as he enjoys engaging in sexual ventures with his future victims. however, he does not ever rape his victims during their life, as he’s a rape survivor himself & has an incredible distaste for such things. instead, he takes the time to grow with his partners, finding it much more enjoyable to be a manipulator & it gives him a filling - feeling knowing that he played a somewhat notable part in his victims’ life. * he tends to keep this on the down low to keep from any suspicious eyes falling his way, therefore keeps interaction strictly sexual *
PART 02. when it comes the act of killing itself, hayao is surprisingly thorough. after years of learning to perfect his methods so that little to no evidence is left behind, its rare that he’d accidentally leave a mess. although mara insists on violence, hayao is, as he self describes, “kind” to his victims, in which he drugs his partners. its rare that he allows mara’s violence take hold ( though there are times he allows it ) & usually makes the death quick enough so that he can simply satisfy his ‘cravings’. a simple slit to the throat deep enough to quickly end it is easy enough for his enhanced strength. he’s quite keen to weapons that make little to no noise, so guns aren’t his forte unless he decides to purchase a silencer. even then, he admittedly does enjoy the more “intimate” experience of knives / dagger.
PART 03. the after care is his most satisfying experience. its here that he’s allowed to divulge in a more perverse side of his cravings, in which he does sporadically enjoy sexual intercourse with his victims’ dead body. its at this point that he does not find it to be a scenario of rape, as being dead voids any ability to consent / not consent. this is usually only something he partakes in if the victim was indeed a past lover, though not all of his victims fit this slot. ------- hayao has developed his own signature, involving tarot cards & personal drawings that are capable of being deciphered as messages. the tarot card he places with his victim is the DEATH TAROT with the words “CALL ME GOD” either scribbled or pasted from magazine letters. there are rare moments that hayao himself will draw the death tarot himself in memoir of victims he grew fond of, though the majority of the time he tends to keep his distance emotionally. there have also been times that he’s written letters both to his victims ( these have varied from apologies, to love letters, to descriptions of sexual fantasies he’s enjoyed or had hoped to perform. ) & the police via his symbolic drawings, though not many have been able to fully decipher these creations with much success.
