Brainstorming of characters and the potential story
The main character could be Spleen, who is a guy who suffers from schizophrenia, which makes him have two split personalities.
Spleens role:
Therefore one of the personalities is where he obtains a normal lifestyle and the other is more complex and violent, he has two separate states of minds and memories for each of the personalities. Each of his victims has a spleen missing and there doesn’t seem to have a particular reason other than it could be symbolic (something personal to him)

The second character could be called Adriana, where she is a secretary in a law firm. Therefore she is in a middle class profession.
Adriana’s role:
She has recently been engaged with the love of her life that she has been with around 4 months. This is Spleen but the audience will not know this. Neither does she till the end of the film.  During their relationship a lot of problems start to emerge such as her boyfriend coming home really late without a genuine reason and he does not remember where he was. Over a period of time she starts having doubts and begins to wonder whether her boyfriend is being truthful and faithful to her. She will begin to notice certain things and then she decides to search through his stuff when he is not at home and she finds a note that says I will kill you.
Jude is Adriana’s closest friend and they share everything with each other.
Jude’s role:
Adriana begins to talk more about Spleen and the problems they have and Jude starts to get worried about Adriana’s relationship and decides to speak to Spleen without Adriana knowing. The next day she is found dead and Adriana immediately receives this information and is invited to the scene of crime for her to give any clues that the police could find useful. Adriana is given a note by the police, which they ask her to assess and let them know if she finds anything familiar being best friends with Jude. When she gets home, she picks up the note and sees many unexplainable images such as drawings of Spleen and then she notices the original writing, which she seen before in Spleen coat.
We could also have more female characters those who are the victims of Spleen because of his violent side that makes him kill women. Usually ones that are in a relationship due to the fact he is in a relationship himself which is one of the few connections that police actually found, but could not explain the reason for it. Also we could have an inspector or a detective who could represent the criminal side and a professional insight and opinions from the killings, which will be the main information source for the audience.
