•• To be frank with you, Soto’s attire is really nothing worth noting. Mostly it consists of jeans and a hoodie—nothing more, nothing less. Rarely will he go out of his way to wear any more than that, even if it’s for a formal occasion. Moreover, his clothing tends to be a few sizes too large, mainly to sufficiently conceal what’s beneath them—or perhaps because he’s much too lazy to find the right size. He also has little money in his possession, and therefore tends to wear clothes that were cheaply made. In addition, Soto will save his money for more important things, and even if his clothes are worn out, he will continue to wear them anyway. In other words, his choice in clothing is a far cry from extravagant.

Soto has also grown a beard at a young age, and will occasionally traipse around with little stubbles of hair on his chin, upper lip and neck when bored or too lazy to shave.

Oh, and P.S… Soto looks like a nerd while wearing these—see health for more info.

•Personality•

•• Soto is your classic make of a psychopath. He will go out of his way to intentionally harm others while feeling absolutely no remorse for it afterward. For Soto, inconveniencing people like he does is like a form of entertainment. He actually finds another’s pain quite amusing, and he will do just about anything to cause that pain. Hell, he’ll even go as far as killing people. Yep, that’s right—Soto is a serial killer, and frankly, quite proud of it. However, malicious though he may be, this is not Soto’s main reason for killing. You see, all his life, Soto was given no control, and just think… being able to choose the exact moment and the precise way in which someone dies? Now that is having absolute control, almost like what a puppeteer would have over his puppets, and it is this feeling that Soto constantly craves. In a way, he wants others to feel the way in which he felt for the majority of his short life.

Despite this, though, Soto does not normally come across as the typical murderer. In fact, he’s quite the opposite. Other than being an annoying chatterbox, he actually seems like a rather jovial person. But before you make any assumptions, just wait to see him while he’s in a bad mood. Soto then becomes quite irritable, being infuriated by the smallest things, and while Soto is like this, it’s much easier to see the true serial killer in him. So just remember that Soto really is, and always will be, a murderer at heart.

• Health:

[/i] sleep, he often times mutters gibberish, and is at risk for sleepwalking. Usually wakes up hours later, terrified, sometimes vividly remembering the dream, other times not at all. He requires sleeping pills to sleep soundly.
[/ul]• Convictions: Diagnosed with anti-social personality disorder and/or as a psychopath/sociopath/whatever-you-want-to-call-it-path. Whatever you title it, its basic meaning is a defective conscience, which implies that Soto feels no guilt for his actions. Has also been convicted of animal abuse (well actually, he tortured and killed them, if you want the truth), as well as several counts of ‘disorderly conduct’ and ‘disturbing the peace’, and finally, four counts of murder.

• Risk: High… *sob*

• Length of Residency: Recently admitted

• History:
For whatever reason, soon after Soto’s birth, he was given to an adoption agency, which was the start of his life in foster homes. Perhaps there was a bad batch of candidates those years, or perhaps Soto’s luck really is that bad, but either way, every foster family he had, he’d either been neglected, abused, or simply seen as a disappointment.

This continued until he was thirteen years of age, where no other foster homes would take him, and his life at the group homes began. Naturally, with those years of unfit family living under his belt, Soto entered the youth home with a fairly docile demeanour, afraid to even make eye contact in fear of being punished. However, his fellow attendees in the home were much like animals in the sense that they have the tendency to pick on the weakest link (aka Soto) the most. It was a given that if Soto wanted to survive there that he would need to toughen up—and after three years, he did, and began finding the recognition he had been so deprived of through the trouble he caused, thus morphing to the bastard you see here today.

This all came to an abrupt halt, however, once he turned 16 and a decrepit old lady named Teslo offered to take him in. Though this actually did not help Soto—in fact, she is the main reason he was driven to murder. Teslo was not fazed at all by Soto’s annoying, trouble-making ways, which angered him beyond belief. At that point, he had already began torturing and killing small animals, but while living with Teslo, he found that this no longer satisfied him. You see, killing was like an outlet for Soto—when something angers him, he needs to take it out on something, and when the animals were no longer enough, he needed something more—something bigger. So that’s why, at age 17, Soto killed his first person.

What sets Soto apart from your average murderer is not the method in which he killed—actually, in that regard, Soto was fairly cliché, and he had simply stabbed his victim in the throat, nearly leaving the body decapitated. No, it was the elaborate planning he did before the murder that set him apart. He would stalk the victim for weeks before actually acting out the murder—to him, this was just as important as the killing itself.

There is one more thing, however, that made Soto just a bit different from your typical murderer—you know, just a bit more gutsy—and that is the letter he sent to the local newspapers, saying that it must be published, and if it was not that another person would die. Inside the letter were details that only the murderer and police would know, as well as various threats and other disturbing messages. The newspaper published it like Soto had ordered, thus sending the town in a complete panic.

Soto’s next murder occurred many months later—however, Soto took a bigger risk and killed two people, a couple, at the same time. On this occasion, though, a gun had been used. The man was shot in the head without even knowing what had hit him, but the woman had fled… only to be shot multiple times in the back.

Not soon after did the police receive a cryptic letter, with the name ‘Zodiac’ as its signature, and the newspapers another note to be published. The town was sent into a state of panic, and all Soto did was sit back, smirk, and observe the chaos.

Once Soto killed his fourth person, however, Teslo had reached her final straw. She was well aware of what Soto went out to do every night, and to stop it, she sent him here. The end.[/blockquote][/blockquote]
