I Wouldnt Have The Heart To Kill Any Of My Boys.

I wouldn’t have the heart to kill any of my boys.

Though half of them deserve a good beat down, not gonna lie. (And Nyarlathotep can’t be killed so there’s that.)

How to Write a Ruthless Character

A ruthless character is all about the endgame. They don’t care how they get there, lying, cheating, using others, it’s all fair game as long as they win. When writing them, show how they can cut off any distractions or emotions, making decisions that others would hesitate over.

These characters don't let feelings get in the way. Compassion, guilt, regret? Nah, they don’t have time for that. Show how they can turn off their emotions and make choices purely based on logic. They’ll do things that seem heartless to everyone else, but for them, it’s just another part of the plan. It’s not that they don’t feel anything, they just choose not to.

Boundaries? What boundaries? A ruthless character doesn’t care about rules unless they can bend them to get ahead. They’ll do things no one else dares, crossing lines others are too scared to even approach. The more uncomfortable their actions make people, the more it emphasizes just how far they’re willing to go. For them, pushing limits is just another day.

They don’t act on impulse. Every move they make is planned, and every risk they take is calculated. They weigh the pros and cons before acting, and they’re always three steps ahead of everyone else. Writing a ruthless character means showing that they’ve already figured out how to win while everyone else is still trying to figure out the rules.

Betrayal is their go-to move when things get tough. Friends, allies, even people who trust them, no one is safe. They’ll turn on anyone if it benefits them. And the best part? They’ll sleep just fine afterward. Show how others react to their betrayals, shocked, hurt, furious, while your ruthless character shrugs it off like, “It had to be done.”

Scenario Prompt #9

Your character is a monster hunter. They are called to a funeral. The problem? The dearly departed won’t stay dead.

There’s no way I’m going to get this finished in one month (I’m a slow writer), but by golly if I’m not going to at least try to finish it!

The same principle of Inktober but for writing

Created it because I couldn't find any. I know I'm a little late.

It can be any genre (horror, romance, fantasy, scifi...) and any lenght

Have fun

Catlike characters again? Gladly!

Zartan and Snake Eyes would both be fiercely independent strays who come and go as they please. Zartan and his fellow strays fight dogs, while Snake Eyes is more a rat and snake killer. Among their most serious fights which result in the most injuries are their turf wars with each other.
