[QUOTE="d20fool, post: 1763495, member: 5956"] [b]Ed Gein rocks![/b] I think you're definately looking at Ed Gein here. He too was a hermit, a hunter, lived in the woods, lots of wilderness skills. His psychosis started from an overbearing mother. His first victim was his brother, which looked like an accident. After his mother's death he began to "harvest" dead bodies. He made all sorts of wares from them, but his most important work was the "skinsuit" to make him look like a woman. This was the inspiration for Leatherface (masculinized) and Silence of the Lamb's Buffalo Bill. When Ed ran out of bodies, he started killing people. The chilling part about Ed (reflected in Psycho) was that he was thought of as a normal member of society. He would babysit the sheriff's kids, drink at the local bar, and even eat dinner at neighbors houses (one of which I believe he brought meat from his last victim.) To "D&Dize" Ed, I would add rules for a skin suit. Maybe he kills lycanthropes, and is making a suit to be like them. A suit with special powers. OR he could take a necromantic bent, animating parts of the dead or making a "dead suit" or even grafting dead parts onto his body. To borrow from another movie source "The Evil Dead", perhaps there is a malevolence in the forest that has chosen our Ed as its avatar. Thus, possessing spirits and quick-moving or monstrous zombies roam the forest 'round Ed's place. In either case, many writers agree a look at Ed Gein will give you all sorts of ideas. [/QUOTE]
