Patrick is one hell of an interesting character in "American Psycho" so I would love to see what people would think his avatar in TADC would look like.
My last post about Patrick Bateman gained a lot of interesting answers about how people would think his avatar would look, so I wanted to bring another pop-culture horror icon onto the table. The one and only Micheal Myers! He's the shadow, the Shape, a man that plows through body counts in the quiet town of Haddonfield with zero remorse. He used to be a patient at a mental asylum but eventually, he escaped through brute strength and sinister calculation. He has no tragic backstory. No true motive. He just kills with no real aim or end goal. He is one of the many popular embodiments of evil in fiction.
So how long would this man last in the digital circus? How would he act or change? Would he even change at all?

My theory is that Caine's name is a transliteration of Kane, the protagonist of the famous Orson Welles film in which, coincidentally, Charles Foster Kane controls reality through his control of the media. Kane wants to make Susan Alexander a famous contralto and builds an opera house specifically for it. But Susan isn't a great contralto. So, if he can't bend the world, he builds Xanadu, a controllable miniature world. At the same time, Caine can't control the world and its irrational humans, so he Cartesianly builds one wherever he takes them and hopes that it's possible here. This convinces me that the character is inspired.
Give a man a billion and he'll build an Island.
