Walter White / Heisenberg from Breaking Bad
If you believe in the many worlds theory or parallel universes, it is postulated that every single possible permutation of the self to an infinite degree exists out there. Take for example, Walter White from the critically acclaimed AMC TV show, Breaking Bad. Mr. White is a down-on-his-luck high school chemistry teacher recently diagnosed with lung cancer. Wanting to provide and support his family before he kicks the bucket, he teams up with a former student, Jesse Pinkman to cook methamphetamine in a get-rich scheme. Over the course of time, the duo becomes drawn deep into the criminal underworld and the repercussions of their actions.
How many of you would crowd-fund a television show where Walter White was a former alchemist and had contracted a strange, mysterious disease that even his scientific arts could not reverse? Driven to desperation, the mild-mannered alchemist travels to Yharnam in search of a cure but finds it crawling with demonic beasts. Determined to survive, Walter White becomes “Heisenberg” – a legendary hunter that seeks to rid the city of its infection (as well as his own. However, in the process he sacrifices his own humanity to attain the power he needs to do the impossible. Now that’s a TV show worth following.
Or you can create a Walter White / Heisenberg look-alike in Bloodborne as Reddit user skookum_qq has done to great effect. Clearly, the drug empire-building business was not enough. He’s in the demon killing business now and business is good.
I am not in danger, Skylar. I am the danger… I am the one who hunts!
