This was his reply (split into three paragraphs for readability).

I know I went at this character before but he is very personal to me and I was looking for advice about how to make him I don't want to exactly say he is a self insert but.. well basically I have had these urges not the voices they are urges a lot of the time where basically if I'm holding something expensive smash it if I'm nervous around someone or something attack them very violent sociopathic rage to just straight up create anarchy hence his name discord

he isn't exactly me and I don't know if I should say second personality but he is what I would be if I "let my demons out to play" as a child I had little to no rational thought and just did stuff without thinking horrible stuff and it itches he actually showed my character is based on the reality of it and I was looking for advice to make that an actual story instead of a cliche creepypasta oc.

I know the danger of a character like that but I am trying to find ways to make him differently I would like feedback on how I can make him a horror icon like the classics. Is it realism that scares people? Or is it the details of fiction.
